Quickly hold “Power” button and then while holding the “Power” button, you will now have to hold “Home” button too.

Now after few seconds release “Power” button but keep holding “Home” button until installation begins.

Step 5: Wait until you get iOS 5.0 beta 1 jailbroken in few minutes. Congratulations.

Tethered Jailbreak :

Once current Redsn0w jailbreak  is still tethered jailbreak , you will be required to connect your iOS device with your computer and run Redsn0w again then choose "Just boot tethered right now".

Important:

“There are just too many broken components (Apple’s official apps, 3rd-party App, Store apps, Cydia apps, MobileSubstrate apps, etc) for this to be useful to anyone but those truly looking to fix bugs in their iOS 5 jailbroken apps.  (Seriously!)”, reads the blog post.

The jailbreak  will not hacktivate iOS 5 beta 1 and users also need to be an iOS developer with a registered UDID to get past all the new activation screens, the Team states.

However, it has been revealed that iOS 5 Beta 1 can be easily tricked into displaying the springboard, effectively letting anyone in, regardless of their ‘relationship’ with Apple.

                                                                                                     

Those who see a white icon for Cydia, or if Cydia or Safari crash when attempting to launch them, will need to remember to boot tethered, the Team says.
