Hello fellow JB users. I want to start off by stating that I've only been using a JB iPhone since November, so a lot of the concepts and processes are still new to me. My iOS version is at 5.0 and I'm running a redsn0w jailbreak. I did have the semi-tether installed, but I have since removed it from the device with the release of the new untether JB.

With that in mind, how do I go about upgrading to the untethered redsn0w jailbreak? I was going to use the Corona app in Cydia, but I noticed that it requires a 5.0.1 iOS version. If it is a matter of just upgrading my iOS to 5.0.1, I'm not even sure how to do that (a link to a guide would be great if that is what I need to do). At the end of the day, I want to preserve my device/apps, so if there is an upgrade I can do WITHOUT wiping the device, that would be my preference.

I have searched around for an IRC channel for redsn0w with no success, so I'm falling back to my fellow TIPB members.

Thanks in advanced guys/gals!
