Why Update to iOS 5.0.1 without Jailbreak and Preserve Baseband Only :
I prefer Not to Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 these days with Tethered Jailbreak cause it needed every restart to connect to the PC / Mac to use the iDevice in Normal but you can also use Semi Tethered Jailbreak but also i Don’t prefer it cause it is make me Limited in using my iDevice But any way you will see the two Guides with or Without Jailbreak.
Sn0wbreeze can preserve your current baseband and update your device to iOS 5.0.1. Remember, the latest redsn0w version can do the same but for some reason people still opt for Sn0wbreeze.

- iPhone 3GS users on 6.15.00 baseband > You can use the guide, preserve the baseband and update your device.
- Gevey SIM users > Preserve baseband and use Gevey.
- Ultrasn0w Users > Well, ultrasn0w is not updated yet to support iOS 5.0.1. But when its out, preserve the baseband and update your device.
