As this is a tethered Jailbreak it means you will need to plug your iPhone into your computer and re-run RedSn0w to boot your iPhone into a fully operational state every time it loses power. Secondly, this is a tethered Jailbreak and not an untethered Jailbreak that we have been very lucky to have on the iOS 5.0.1 firmware.
