from iTunes...i even restore it from dfu mode and nothing...im desperate over here
you restored from phone or itunes?
well it seemed and worked smooth for me when I first jb my 4S. But when I try to install a tweak, package, etc. I'm getting internal server error or Hash Sum Mismatch at the end.. (while installing SBSettings) Maybe it could be sth. unrelated but can anyone inform me about that how can I solve that issue?
a lot of people are having problems and so did I
but what fixed it for me was how I initially restored.
You have to restore (full restore) from itunes with the 5.1.1 ipsw file.
Sync your backup, select the appropriate restore file (5.1.1) and begin the restore process. Afterward, activate your iphone 4s. And then start the jailbreak. I did it this way and it all worked first time.
It's the restore. Don't wipe from the phone. USE ITUNES and restore from the 5.1.1 ipsw. Hope this helps everyone
Download Winzip and extract it.
Don't give up!
Sometimes it takes forever to jailbreak. Back on my old 4 I think it took me 24 tries to get one to stick.
It's probably nothing you're doing wrong!
Guys..help me out here...first off...WTF is a ipsw file. Secondly...when you say "USE ITUNES and restor from 5.1.1 ipsw, where in ITUNES do you do that?

Get ipsw here:Bear with me and I will post a link for a 5.1.1 ipsw (that is an IOS operating software file). Before I can, what device do you have.
I did that but the black DOS window pops up and loads a bunch of stuff then disappears. I never get the actual JB program to open.
Download Winterboard also if you haven't. I couldn't get anything to work until I downloaded Winterboard.
It's the file itunes uses as a backup, if you are using a Mac you can hold down the option button while you hit restore in itunes and then manually select the backup file (ipsw). There's been a few linked here by others.
If you're on a windows I think you can right click on restore but don't hold me to that i haven't owned one for years.
You guys really all are geniouses. This worked like a charm. Spread the word for everyone with the "hmmm...something went wrong. please blow me" error message. This fixes it!
Glad it worked out for you.
Still have 4 more hours until i get home to try my own out
I want to try the restore using the ipsw file for iphone 4s.
Do I need to wipe first again?
Also, if the JB works for me, can I do another restore to get my data and apps back from iTunes?

Restoring will wipe everything, do a back up and then run the restore with the ipsw, then run the jailbreak and after than you can sync all your stuff back on.
