Apple iOS 5.0.1 update is out now and so is the redsn0w jailbreak, follow the detailed step-by-step instructions below to get your iOS 5.0.1 install jailbroken and install Cydia
We will be jail-breaking iOS 5.0.1 but keep in mind that current redsn0w 0.9.9b8 will only detect iOS 5.0 IPSW file and if you try to use 5.0.1 IPSW you will receive the "Unrecognized Fingerprint Build" error as shown below.
Do note that :
redsn0w version 0.9.9b8 will natively recognize the 5.0.1 beta that Apple let developers start testing this week (so you don’t have to play the “point at 5.0 IPSW” trick). Because the IPSW isn’t public, you’ll still need to provide it once to redsn0w (at which point it will cache all the important pieces so you don’t need to select it again).
So make sure you download the iOS 5.0 IPSW restore file for your device from the links below before proceeding :
