A group of hackers and developers iPhone Dev Team recently released a new version of Redsn0w that can fix the launchctl issue.
The long wait finally over. Both iPhone hackers and developers iPhone Dev Team and Chronic Dev Team both released their untethered jailbreaks for Apple’s newest mobile operating system, iOS 5.0.1. The organizations released Redsn0w and Corona iOS 5.0.1 Untether, respectively.
The two can perform untethered jailbreaks in various Apple devices such as iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4G, iPod touch 3G and the first generation of iPad.
According to the blog of iPhone Dev Team, “The b2 version of redsn0w includes the launchctl-related fix by @planetbeing as mentioned by @saurik here and here. As usual, you can just re-run redsn0w in jailbreak mode over your existing 5.0.1 jailbreak (even a PwnageTool one), making sure to de-select “Install Cydia” if you do. Always be sure to do a controlled “slide to power off” shutdown of your device before running redsn0w.”
If you have installed Corona iOS 5.0.1 Untethered v1.0-3 that was released yesterday, there is no need to rerun Redsn0w in your handset. Also, if you have already jailbroken your device, you can simply run this new release right over the top of your current jailbreak, however, be sure to uncheck the “install cydia” option when you get to that screen. Otherwise, if you are on a stock firmware, leave “install Cydia” checked.
However, some users who had used Corona iOS 5.0.1 untether to convert their tethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak to untethered jailbreak or used Redsn0w to perform the untethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak had reported issues with some jailbreak apps. Moreover, a number of people are reporting that issues arise after rerunning Redsn0w.
Remember to back up your phone before doing the procedure to ensure that your files will not be lost and ensure that you are running on the latest iTunes. Also, jailbreaking your phone will void the warranty of your handset. Thus, proceed at your own risk.

iDevices users are probably waiting for this. The iPhone Dev Team recently released the newest beta version of Redsn0w 0.9.7 or also known as the Redsn0w 0.9.7b5. The iPhone Dev Team was able to fix all of the sandbox related issues in this new beta version and the good news is, it does not disable the Bluetooth like in other previous beta versions. However, it is only meant for beta testers.

If you will remember, the iPhone Dev Team released the Redsn0w 0.9.7b1 just a couple of weeks back that will serve as a backup plan for the iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4, iPad and iPod touch 4G. The iPhone Dev Team works hard in fixing all of the issues of the untethered jailbreak and to get it ready for the users. The team also released the Redsn0w 0.9.7b2 to fix native app crashes, Redsn0w 0.9.7b3 to fix bugs related to non-GUI programs such as Facetime, Winterboard themes, and embedded videos in iTunes and Redsn0w 0.9.7b4, which eliminated the need to install and run a separate program for usbmux.

More information can be found in the blog post of the iPhone Dev Team about the Redsn0w 0.9.7 Beta 5. They said, “The fifth beta is now available (testers ONLY please!).  Bluetooth is now working (and any sandbox-related issues should be resolved too).  Please do not pirate the 4.2b3 IPSW! Only those enrolled in the iPhone Developer program have legitimate access to that IPSW using these links (the links won’t work unless you’re a legit developer currently logged in).

The Redsn0w 0.9.7 beta is currently for Mac users and Windows users will have to wait a little longer as the Redsn0w meant for Windows is not yet ready for beta testing.
