First create a custom 5.0.1 IPSW using PwnageTool 5.0.1.Once done, simply connect your device to iTunes, press the alt key and click on “Restore”. Select the custom firmware file you just made and restore your iPhone. Keep in mind that the custom firmware you made to jailbreak 5.0.1 iOS untethered on Mac will automatically be jailbroken once it’s loaded on your device.
