[b]Semi Tether:

What is a semi tether?
OS 5 semi-tethered jailbreak is a kind of jailbreak which allows you to reboot your device without needing to a compute for “Just Tethered Boot” option in redsn0w. Yes, it’s similar to an untethered jailbreak but actually 99% of your jailbreak related apps and tweaks won’t work at all. The semi-tethered jailbreak is made as a protection for you if your device reboots while you’re on the road. It allows you to make the most of important functions but you won’t get back to fully functional state until using redsn0w again, when you get home.

Instructions:
Step 1:
Perform a jailbreak. (Obviously)

Step 2:
Open up Cydia on your iOS Device, select "Manage" -> ''Sources'' -> "Edit'' -> "Add''

Step 3:
Add the following source: http://thebigboss.org/semitether

Step 4:
After adding and updating sources, go to search and search for: "SemiTether"

Step 5:
Install SemiTether

Step 6:
Perform a "Just Boot" reboot via redsn0w or a Semi Tethered reboot. Smile
