As expected, iH8Sn0w has updated his famous jailbreak tool for Windows, Sn0wbreeze to version 2.8b4, and fully supports jailbreaking iOS 5 beta 3.

At the moment though, the jailbreak is tethered, which means that your device will go into limbo if it loses power or reboots, getting you into the trouble of booting it into the jailbroken state every time that happens.

Sn0wbreeze is a tool just like PwnageTool for Mac, except that Sn0wbreeze is for Windows. It allows users to cook custom firmware files for your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad which are jailbroken on iOS 5 beta 3 in this case, and later on restored via iTunes.

The process of jailbreaking iOS 5 beta 3 via Sn0wbreeze is fairly simple, you can follow the guide posted here which is quite detailed, except that you have to use iOS 5 beta 3 IPSW where necessary, apart from that, all the steps are the same.

Please do keep in mind that the jailbreak is intended for developers only, if you don’t have a developer account with Apple and managed to get your hands on the iOS 5 IPSW file then recall that its pure piracy, its something which we don’t’ encourage in any case.
