data.tar.gz works on 5.1.1 from DIAGS only. You need an ENABLE_DIAGS file, and your RUNME.sh needs to mount main parition and edit it relative to the mount point, like this:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mmc
cat /mnt/mmc/etc/shadow
There is a DIFFERENT method that works when booting from main. Details will be provided by those who developed it when it is needed.
There are other (unpublished) methods that work from diags as well, and you can always do the "simple debricking" method to install a pre-hacked partition image. So we have plenty of jailbreak (and debricking) options for the future. You do not need to worry about creating a "permanent" brick as long as simple debricking is available (in the sticky thread).
