After we gave you the direct download links for iOS 5, we have a new tutorial for you to help you bypass the activation process and start running the new iOS 5 firmware. This is not a jailbreak, but it will let you use iOS 5 beta without activating it. This iOS 5 hack also exploits a security flaw in the activation screen. Even those users can apply this hack who are new to jailbreaking, as it requires no hacking or jalbreaking.






Note : This has only been confirmed to work on iPod Touch 4G and does NOT to work on the iPad 2. For iDevices with a cellular modem, this may permanently upgrade your baseband, and will also prevent activation with your carrier as you are bypassing it.
