Since Apple can’t patch the bootrom exploit, of course iOS 5 is jailbreakable.That means that when the final version will come out, all the jailbreaking tools will be updated relatively quick but, in the meantime ( especially unlockers ) should stay away from the betas.
Since Apple can’t patch the bootrom exploit, of course iOS 5 is jailbreakable. Above you can see screenshots from MuscleNerd’s iPod Touch 4G which is running iOS 5 jailbroken via limera1n + tethered boot. That means that when the final version will come out, all the jailbreaking tools will be updated relatively quick but, in the meantime ( especially unlockers ) should stay away from the betas. If you update to any of the iOS 5 betas, you can downgrade your device ONLY if you have the SHSH blobs saved ( except iPad 2 ) Also, iPad2-GSM and iPad2-CDMA owners must stay clear of all 5.0 betas to stay eligible for any potential 4.3.3 JB.
Stay tuned for more updates…

Confused about which tool jailbreaks what device? If your device it’s even jailbreakable and/or unlockable? Here’s a wizard to help users find the correct jailbreak tool for their iDevice. You can check it here.
Bootlogo’s and verbose boot were not possible, (at least not possible as we know them) because the bootchain is actually not touched (LLB and iBoot are being code signed and well).
Both greenpois0n and limera1n use the same bootrom exploit and pretty much the same way of applying the jailbreak to your device. Geohot’s bootrom exploit is a tethered exploit, meaning that it is not able of booting a patched bootchain. So, what they actually do is use this bootrom exploit as an “injection vector” in order to apply kernel patches (userland jailbreak).
