Absinthe 2.0 is out!!!

[nj1266]

It is not working for me. I am on 5.1.1 and the jailbreak does not go beyond the "sending initial date" window pop-up. Then I get a window telling that absinthe has stopped working. I am on Windows 7. I have no idea what to do next

This jailbreak definitely has signal strength issues. iTunes match constantly stops, so much so I had to revert back to the official release.

I tried using absinthe for my ip4 and it kept saying it was a 3 so I ended up using redsn0w to jb then download the untether in cydia. I used absinthe with my sisters ip4s and it jail broke it in 8 minutes.

When did you update to 5.1.1? Was it when it first came out or was it recently?

Also are you using the latest version of Absinthe which is 2.0.2?

That is probably casuing you a problem because there are two versions of 5.1.1 and one probably isn't compatible with Abinthe.

So to try and get around this problem. Make sure that you are running the newist version of 5.1.1. Best way to do this, is by restoring you iPhone via itunes back to factory default. Make sure you make a back first by right clicking on your phone in iTunes and click backup.

Then restore, then run Absinthe making sure it is 2.0.2.

See how this goes and if you are still experincing problems - Come back to us here - Good luck.

And iBlacklist had an update come out too.

You can jailbreak your iPhone using the Redsn0w method here:

There where two versions of 5.1.1 for the iPhone 4 GSM. The Rocky Racoon 5.1.1 untether has been updated for both versions. So it is now compatible for both builds.

Therefore I'm very sure this method will work for jailbreaking you device.

idk about the jailbreak, it seems to be unstable on the wifes 4S. She was just calling someone and then it froze and only allowed phone calls through siri, the screen was just black. And her music kept messing up, it would play 2 songs then freeze, etc.

more than likely there was a conflict with something

my phone actually froze today as well. even to the point of me having to reboot/hard reset. this is when i get to the point of asking myself "is it really worth it?"

Why does Absinthe JB require restore immediately after JB?

Hi

The Absinthe instructions (on greenpois0n.com) sez you should restore you iDevice from iTunes immediately after running the JB.

Does that mean this JB is not reversible. I already did it and did the restore, and it did not reverse the jailbreak.

Anyone?

After looking what I installed I believe you are correct. I think the problem was with an app called "Unfold"

Yep Unfold caused crashing and other problems for me too. As soon as I removed it, my iPhone was fine again, then I added it back, after they updated it, and the problems started again.

Is unfold needed? What does it do?

 

[ssandler77]

Absinthe Updates???

I am relatively new to jailbreaking. I keep seeing updates to Absinthe - Do I need to rerun the jailbreak with the updated version?

it's a custom unlock and it appears to be really buggy

no, they are updating to support other devices

no, you are reading it incorrectly. right from the Absinthe readme notes:

USAGE: (MacOSX, Windows & Linux)

1. Make a backup of your device iTunes by right clicking on your device name under the 'Devices' menu and click 'Back Up'.
2. Once your backup is complete return to your device and go to Settings - General - Reset - Erase All Content and Settings. This will make the jailbreak process much faster.
3. Open Absinthe and be sure your are still connected via USB cable to your computer.
4. Click 'Jailbreak' and wait... just be patient and do not disconnect your device!
5. Once jailbroken return to iTunes and restore your backup from earlier. To do so, right click on your device name under the 'Devices' menu in the left panel of iTunes and click 'Restore From Backup...' then select the latest backup you created before. (restoring this backup will return all the content previously on your device, i.e. apps, photos, etc.)
6. Thanks for using Absinthe, enjoy your jailbroken iDevice!

I still dont get it

Once jailbroken return to iTunes and restore your backup from earlier. To do so, right click on your device name under the 'Devices' menu in the left panel of iTunes and click 'Restore From Backup...' then select the latest backup you created before. (restoring this backup will return all the content previously on your device, i.e. apps, photos, etc.)

Wasn't the backup taken before JB. If i restore it, why does it not remove JB?


Or, in other words, how is this procedure different from reversing JB?

777. You're confusing backup with restore. Backup simply saves your apps and previous settings and puts them back on your phone. It doesn't affect the jailbreak or alter the operating system. A restore will erase all the jailbreak info and revert a phone back to the stock OS. So when you restore a backup, all you're doing is putting the apps and other info back on your phone that you backed up before. It won't delete the jailbreak data.
