I will put together a tutorial on this shortly.

As always if you are unlocked - make sure to back up your blobs and only update to 5.0.1 with a custom IPSW. See first link above for more info.

If you jailbreak with this new jailbreak - please leave comments below - indicate what device you jailbroke - and how it went for you.

Again more info coming soon.

Used redsnow and I am not unlocked. After I attempted to update to iOS 5.0.1 through iTunes I got stuck in recovery mode. After much investigation on the web I discovered that the reason I was getting error 21 failed to update error was because my host file was pointing to cydia from where I had installed Tiny Umbrella awhile back. I opened the Tiny Umbrella software preferences and unchecked the host file direct box. After that I was able to do a complete update and restore then jailbreak. I can't get the big boss repository to install but lots of people seem to be having that issue and the general consensus is that the sites are overloaded. I'll keep trying to install it because the main program I use Lockinfo is dependent on software that I can't download because it's in that repository.
