I’m going to show you how to jailbreak IOS 5.0.1.Unfortunately this does not work on the iPad 2 or iPhone 4s.There are many tutorials on the internet but none of them explain it correctly. Keep in mind that this is a tethered jailbreak only which means you will have to plug it into a computer every time you fully turn off the iPod or iPhone.

But a good none-the-less

How to upgrade you iPhone, regardless of which one it is, or which firmware you have:
Step 1: Sell it. This is really optional, as you can throw it away too. But there's bound to be someone else willing to buy it.
Step 2: Buy an Android phone.
