      This is what i used:

      A4 5.0.1. untether released.
      @pod2g has created a terrific gift for iOS fans ? an untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak for non-A5 devices!

      Many of you have already been following @pod2g?s blog where he?s been keeping everyone up to date on his progress. And so you know that he recently decided to push the button on a release for all devices except the new iPhone4S and iPad2. @pod2g?s untether involves two separate exploits and a few other ?tricks? ? and since he?s taken the @comex approach of doing nearly everything himself, you know his plate has been full these past few months!

      A few days ago, @pod2g gave the untether to both the iPhone devteam and the chronic devteam. We?ve put it into redsn0w 0.9.10 and PwnageTool, and the chronic devteam put it into a Cydia package (the same set of exploits is in all three).

      Here are the basic steps for how to get it:

      The untether is for iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPad1, iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G

      ? If you have one of those devices and are not on 5.0.1 yet, update now! The SHSH window is still open for 5.0.1 If you unlock via ultrasn0w or gevey, make sure you only get to 5.0.1 via a custom IPSW! See the guides at places like iClarified.com if you don?t know how. Once you?re at 5.0.1, use the latest redsn0w 0.9.10 to both jailbreak and untether.

      ? If you?re already at 5.0.1 with a tethered jailbreak, you have two choices: either run redsn0w 0.9.10 over your current jailbreak (deselect ?Install Cydia? if you do that), or install the Cydia package prepared by the chronic devteam. The patches are the same regardless of which you choose.

      ? Some of you are using a hybrid 5.0/5.0.1 configuration. If so, do not attempt to install this untether over that setup! You will most likely get into a reboot cycle. Do a sync and fresh restore to 5.0.1 then install the jailbreak + untether.

      ? As mentioned earlier, @pod2g has spent months working on all the exploits and tricks in this untether, and many of you may be wondering how you can send donations. Although the iPhone devteam itself doesn?t take donations, we thought it was appropriate to provide a link at the end of the redsn0w run for you to more easily donate directly to @pod2g if you wish (alternatively, you can go right here). There?s a link in the Cydia package for donating to the chronic devteam for the Cydia version of @pod2g?s untether.

      ? @pod2g is now looking for a way to extend this to A5 devices. Because those devices cannot use geohot?s limera1n exploit to inject the untether, they require exploits above and beyond those used for this release. Keep following pod2g on twitter or his blog for any progress reports!

      Here are the redsn0w download links.
      Mac: http://www.mediafire.com/?8825ccyk698fvye
      Windows: http://www.mediafire.com/?98tzmge2l9dpuyc Be sure you run as admin

      If you download Redsn0w for windows right click on the exe file /properties/compatability/run in xp mode .

        I have by mistake upgraded the firmware of my iphone 3GS to iOS 5.0.1 and my iphone won't work. So I have downgraded the iphone to iOS 4.3.3 by using iFaith v1.4, RedSnow 0.9.6rc16 to jailbreak it and downloaded iOS 4.3.3 to finish the job all the above are widely available on line, is simple and easy to do it your self just follow the youtube video and you will see for your self if you have any question please don't hesitate to ask for help and good luck.

          ...find a good YouTube vid on "HowTo" jailbreak your 3GS

          Make sure you backup/update with iTunes to 5.0.1 first before you do anything....

            You should take the opportunity to update to 5.0.1 now before 5.1 is released....

              If you read my Thread you will notice that my iPhone was updated to iOS 5.0.1 and didn't work believe me there is something in 5.0.1 not compatible with iPhone 3GS for some reason that what make me to downgrade to lower OS. I have been doing this job professionally for sometime now and I don't mind to learn something I don't know from you.
              Jailbreak the iPhnoes is not illegal but apple is taking an action for not allowing many apps to work with jailbroken iphones and latest one is last Monday 20 Feb 2012 you cant use any Sky apps now.
              Thanks. Salami

                iPhone 3GS is fully compatible with 5.0.1....Fact
                There are many factors that may be preventing your iPhone from updating...

                There are many apps in the AppStore that will autodetect a jailbroken iPhone and refuse to work....you can use xCon(free) or xCon Alias($2.00) in Cydia store to over come these app.

                FYI - All my Sky apps are working fine without using xCon
