UnTethered Jailbreak 5.1.1 iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS Absinthe 2.0
UnTethered Jailbreak 5.1.1 iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS Absinthe, After releasing of the Absinthe 2.0 for iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak was released few minutes to jailbreak iDevices now we will show you how to UnTethered jailbreak iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS on iOS 5.1.1 step by step Guide using Absinthe v 2.0 on windows and MAC.
How to UnTethered Jailbreak 5.1.1 iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS Absinthe 2.0 on Windows and MAC:
Preparation
UnTethered Jailbreak 5.1.1 iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS Absinthe 2.0, Your iPhone MUST already be on 5.1.1 to start, and like all jailbreak activities you should ensure you have backed up recently!
Be aware, as things stand you cannot install 5.1.1 on your iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS IF Apple have closed the signing window on 5.1.1, even if you have saved SHSH Blobs. Make sure you get 5.1.1 installed before the window closes. For more details on SHSH Blobs.
Jailbreak Required :
- Download iOS 5.1.1 firmware
- Download Absinthe v2.0.4 for Windows, Mac and linux (Update)
Finally, before you start, consider how much data you currently have on your iPhone and the resources available on your PC. This jailbreak utilises a vulnerability in the Backup and Restore process. Therefore in order to complete the jailbreak Absinthe will perform a backup and restore of your iPhone’s data. This raises a couple of important issues…
If you have any problems running Absinthe, see the troubleshooting section at the end. Now, on to the jailbreak…
1. Unzip the download and launch the Absinthe file on your PC:
2. Ensure your iPhone is connected and detected, then press the “Jailbreak” button…
Absinthe will start to work it’s magic! Be advised, the jailbreak takes longer the more data you have on your iPhone 4s, 4, 3gs. Be Patient!
The jailbreaking wizards in the Dream Team pwned the iTunes sync, backup, and restore process to jailbreak your device…
You need to keep the faith and let it do it’s thang!
Hang on it there baby…
The last stage takes roughly as long as the first, so bear with it. It will appear as though nothing much is happening…
Finally, it will finish and tell you to unlock your device and press the jailbreak icon. DONT disconnect your Device yet!
After the program informed you that jailbreak is ‘Almost done’.
And you should notice that the Cydia icon installed .
That’s it! You are jailbroken untethered on 5.1.1 with an iPhone! Wasn’t that easy?
Troubleshooting Absinthe 2.0!
If the server is down and you get an Error establishing a database connection message then tap the Settings icon on your springboard and turn on VPN.
You will get a configuration error; however, after about a minute your device will reboot with Cydia on the Springboard!
First of all be patient and trust that it is working, particularly on the last stage! If you have lots of data on your device it WILL take a long time at each stage. DO NOT disconnect the iPhone from your PC until you see Cydia on your springboard (unless things have gone wrong of course).
If you get to the end and launching “Absinthe” does nothing, open Settings and turn ON the VPN setting which has been added to your device. Make sure you don’t disconnect the iPhone yet! It should reboot and Cydia will then be visible.
If this does not work, disconnect and start again. Absinthe will let you know it needs to recover the process. Let it do this. Then disconnect again and run the jailbreak again! But if your iPhone has lots of data on it, consider doing a clean restore as laid out in the preparation section this time!
If Absinthe crashes on OSX, first make sure you are running the jailbreak as an Administrator of the system. It seems as though folks have also had success by enabling the root user on OSX. To enable root, try the following:
- Open “System Preferences” and choose “Users & Groups”
- Click the padlock and authenticate to unlock the settings
- Choose “Login Options”
- Click “Join” (or “Edit”)
- Click “Open Directory Utility”
- Click the padlock and authenticate to unlock the settings (if required)
- From the “Edit” menu, choose “Enable Root User”
- Provide a password for the root user.
If Absinthe crashes on Windows, again, make sure you are running as an Administrator account.
Windows7 and Vista users should set the compatibility properties for the Absinthe executable by right clicking on the EXE file, choosing “properties”, switching to the Compatibility tab, and selecting “Windows XP (Service Pack 2)” and “Run this program as an administrator”.
The following screen shows what the properties look like for Windows7 users:
Wow, awesome blog layout! How lengthy have you ever been blogging for? you made running a blog look easy. The whole look of your site is wonderful, let alone the content!
When I click to run Absinthe, it just comes up with this black box and loads of data just runs down the box saying lots of complicated stuff, then that just closes and nothing happens and Absinthe doesn’t open?
What can i do?
Hi Matt, just select the file (dont double click) and extract it to your desktop. A folder will be created on your desktop too. Double click the exe file inside the folder.
Does this Jailbreak work on iPhone 4 CDMA?
Okay one more question guys, I have an iPhone 4 CDMA under Verizon here with BB 4.2.10 and the thing is I won’t be able to use this as a phone due to my location (Philippines) therefore I have to accept the fact that I will only be able to use it as an iPod touch, Now I am thinking of Updating it to iOS 5.1.1 so i can take advantage of the Absinthe Untehtered Jailbreak, I have acquired the 5.1.1 IPSW file already but before I restore this, I’d like to know if WOULD I HAVE ANY PROBLEMS ACTIVATING THIS PHONE SINCE I’M HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES? Thanks in advance fellas!
I did my JB on my IP4 and everything turned out Ok. But now I realized that I cant use my spacebar because it crashes any app where I intend to use it. Any idea how to solve it? Pleaseeee
Will this work on a Iphone 4s with 5,1 ios that has a contract with Cspire in the United States. I think this is supported through Sprint. Please let me know and my phone is a CDMI and GSM. It will work if I buy a mini sim from Cspire to put in the side of the phone, HELP PLEASE
when i tried to jailbreak my iphone 4 through absinthe 2.04 it gives an error that the device is not supported. help please

Once restored, if i jailbreak again how do i now the same thing wont happen the second time round?
Nice and easy Jailbreak.
But befor I start du jailbreak, I want to know whether I can bring it back to jail or make updates in the future.

Hi there, I found your site via Google even as searching for a related subject, your website came up, it seems to be great. I have added to my favourites|added to bookmarks.
I used this guide and absinthe 2.0.2 to jailbreak my iphone 4 running 5.1.1 build 9B208. Worked perfect done in no time, I tried redsn0w and it wiped all my apps and left me with just the weather app, which meant I couldnt make any calls or do anything and had to restore my phone back to factory settings, so beware.
this thing is the best scene ever happend to jailbreaking history…it was never so simpler before…works great on my ifone4
my 4s 5.1 is running on Geevey sim , will the jailbreak effect my unlocking ? or will it unlock it without Geevey ?

thanks mate ill try that and reply
I have an iPhone 3GS on 5.1.1 with baseband 5.16.05
If I jailbreak it with absinthe will it upgrade the baseband to the iPad baseband?
Can I unlock my iPhone if I use absinthe?
I downloaded absinthe 2.0.4 for iphone 3 version 5.1.1 firmware 05.16.05 and then found the Cydia icon and opened it, and then I put in my t-mobile SIM card, but it’s not picking up the signal? Is there anything else I can do or any ideas why it’s not working?
same problem, different country. My 3GS says the unteathered jailbreak went fine, and my Free sim card looks like it works, but it never finds a signal.
Where to go for help??
Have you thought about adding some relevant links to your article? I think it will really enhance my understanding.
I think the most important tip you provide here is to stay plugged into what’s important in the industry, so that we can fill the needs, and provide solutions to our readers needs.
For some reason, the Jailbreak button is greyed out?
My iphone 4s is connected via USB?
I have downloaded the absinthe for 3Gs. I’m able to run the application but it always stop half way through with an error message.
absinthe.exe has stopped working – a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avaibalbe.
Any suggesstion??? I tried several times and get the exact same error message.
try it with a other computer
I had the Jailbreak button disabled also. Once I opened the iTunes window, the button enabled. Hope this helps…
