TinyUmbrella Updated To Support iOS 5 Beta 1

Notcom has just updated TinyUmbrella and has added support for iOS 5 beta 1. Announced at WWDC 2011, iOS 5 beta 1 was seeded to developers on June 6, whereas the public release of iOS 5 is slated for fall 2011.

TinyUmbrella now supports 5.0b1 for all devices. I’ve added a few nag messages to remind people to update their settings. “Request SHSH from Cydia” and “Set Hosts to Cydia on Exit” should be disabled by users as soon as possible especially if you are having issues saving your SHSH. Cydia is ramping down it’s proxy service and will eventually offer it no more. It will continue to host SHSHs and I’m working on the new TinyUmbrella which will integrate with those new features.

Previously, we had updated our readers on a possible TinyUmbrella rewrite that would bring the ability to send SHSH blobs to Cydia. Notcom has confirmed that a new version of TinyUmbrella, rather a greatly revamped version is coming soon.

Also do remember that if you have preserved the baseband of your iPhone using TinyUmbrella and you upgrade to iOS 5 beta 1, you will not be able to ‘fixrecovery’ until TinyUmbrella is updated.
