How to Jailbreak iPhone 4S Using Absinthe For Mac [iOS 5.0.1 / iOS 5]

If you have your device set to sync over Wi-Fi to iTunes running on another computer, it seems to disrupt the jailbreak attempt. It would be a good idea to quit the iTunes the device syncs to in order to prevent this interruption.My first attempt was interrupted by the sync. Absinthe sat idle and the iPhone 4S had an alert about an app it couldn’t sync. (Which tipped me off as to the delay.) Absinthe let me quit it at that point. Restarting it resulted in it telling me a jailbreak operation was aborted, and that it would attempt to clean things up. That seemed to work. The second attempt worked – once iTunes was shut down.

Thanx for this nice post. I really appreciate your post.

The Jailbreak had an error and Absinthe tried to correct it, but even after it says it's fixed, every time I plug my phone back in it says it has to fix my phone again. I restored my phone and it still gives me the same message. Any clue how to fix this? I restored from backup because I don't want to lose my application information. Any help would be great! Thanks!

I didn't know only restoring from back up didn't replace firmware, will try that then update.

HeyI have the same problem with my 10.5.8 iMac. but when I tried it on my macbook pro Mac os Lion, it launched it with no problem.
-
Same! Nothing, I've tried everything too and it still wont connect i'd wish somebody would help us.

Just Found out how guys! You gotta install iTunes on your computer and run it in order for your iphone to be installed onto the computer ( You know when it set installing new device in the bottom right) So just install itunes and wait a bit and it should work!
-
all worked, absinthe icon on iphone 'is now setting things up, please stand-by...'and then nothing... :(
-
and I forgot to say:using mac and updated itunes in latest OS - when absinthe.app runs it gets to "waiting for device to reboot" (device reboots), but absinthe.app ends - is that correct? the absinthe app then appears on iphone which is what I click on and get to the stand-by... bit - it just sits on that? - if I go back to home screen there is no cydia, just absinthe :(
-
Awesome work guys! Works perfectly. Thank you so much!!!!
-
I had to delete my work email from my phone for the option to appear.
-
It took about 4 min. all together!!! Cydia is here! I love you, GOD BLESS YOU :-DNow I can finally make my IPhone Dual Sim: http://www.qyg-online.com/en/107-gmate-via-bluetooth-dual-sim-phone-kit.html

-
Thank you so much guys.... if u get problems with with network establsihing data connection ... your iTunes is not opened i tried so many times .. didn't even realize when you due all the steps iTunes closes so before you click on the icon on your screen absinthe make sure your iTunes is open and it will reboot once is rebooted click ur cydia is gonna be there. have fun

Same question from me. I have an iphone 4s, but live overseas. >>Is there software to UNLOCK now that it's jailbroken??
-
After finishing the jailbreak and clicking on the absinthe icon i just get a white screen. Sometimes it loads to the website....but never reboots. Anyone else figure out how to get past this?
-

Hi guys, need some help, I just restore my iphone 4s with most recent update, I UN-Jailbreaks. now the phone seems need to be activated before I can jailbreak it again. but I don't have data service. Is there a way to do it without the activation on the phone?
-
Worked perfectly for me, took all of about 5 minutes for me to complete it.
-
Just found out that my Music app icon is now white??
-
Same question too.. I got my iPhone 4s on contract with 3 Network in the UK.. I'm now trying to use the iPhone in China on China Unicom but it won't let me activate it..
-
Will this remove everything on my iPhone ??
-
Using a PC. Downloaded Absinthe on iPhone 4s. Have tried 10 times hitting Absinthe icon. Half time it tries connecting and comes back with 'Didnt Work' Tap Jailbreak to open settings....and turn on VPN named Jailbreak'. I went and tried turning on the only VPN I have and it gives the error message but does not reboot. Help!
-
Does anyone know if this works with iTunes 10.6?
-
iPhone 4S first attempt was not successful due to "VPN message". I could not turn on the "VPN" in Apple's settings app. Therefore I reboot, tried recover, failed to recover (iTune said corrupted backup), then decided to launch absinthe again. Worked on second trial! Got Cydia!! However, the "VPN" entry in Apple's own settings disappeared. Does anyone else encounter this problem? Otherwise, seem working normallly.
