installed 5 beta 6 yesterday after reading it is possible to jailbreak with Redsn0w (mac). Only problem is I cannot get Redsn0w to recognize the iOS 5 beta 6 IPSW. I have both the Redsn0w app and the IPSW on my desktop.... Any suggestions?

Also, I've got extra UDID registrations so if someone wants to enjoy the journey let me know...

I was under the impression that jailbreaking stopped the ota completely.... there should be a way to stop the push.

just got the new redsn0w, got it jailbroken on mac. Things were going good until I installed an app from Cydia that required a reboot.... and of course reboot without redsn0w tether... now I'm stuck on apple logo and a force restart (holding down power button and home button) only gets the same thing. Also I tried the reboot with itunes open and itunes did not register the phone.... One of these days I'll stop playing with my business phone

So, yeah, any ideas?

So I did the hard restore (power and home held down until the apple logo flashes back on then release power and hold home) now I'm reinstalling 5 b 6 with iTunes. I need to be more careful about which apps I reinstall. Also my Cydia backups with PKGBackup were not found when I reinstalled the app..... Is the BS worth the jailbreak... Hind sight, "NO" Stay with iOS 4 for now.
