    I use newest version and go through smoothly until 'tap Absinthe' icon and wait for reboot, but after about 10mins, it doesnt reboot automatically. Any idea?

    Hi,I’ve done everything that was told step by step and i also read all your comments. I d/l the version 0.3 and it went well till the ‘preparing jailbreak data…do not touch your device yet!’then after a minute or so it pops out another window saying ‘absinthe.exe has stopped working’Anyone facing the same problem? If there are, any way to solve this? In a rut. Been doing this for the whole afternoon.

    Been trying for 2 days to jailbreak my ipad 2.I followed the steps and every time I try Absinth, it shuts down in the beginning saying "Looks likes you attempted to apply this Jailbreak and it failed. We will try to fix it"I reset and restored my ipad and the Firmware on my ipad is 5.0.1, my itunes is 10.5.3.3, and when I try to restore the firmware with Shift+Restore I get a 3194 error on itunes so I can't...Please tell me what to do on this.

    Figured it out. (Had to do with a setting on tinyUmbrella. Now I just need to figure out how to restore from icloud.

    Ok. So I was successful in jail breaking the first time and then I went on my ipad and "General" - "reset" - "Reset all settings" so that when it rebooted i was able to choose the option to restore from icloud, which i did. But then cydia was gone.....I have now jailbroken it again and though I have Cydia, how do I get the rest of my old data and apps that i backed-up to icloud onto the ipad and keep cydia intact.

    If my iPad 2 is brand new and hasn't had anything done to it (no new apps or documents added, etc.) then do I still need to back up my iPad before jailbreaking? (Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm techno-challenged.)

    Hi! I did all the procedures and it worked out perfectly fine.But then I tried to add some apps from iTunes, just like I used to do with my previous jailbreak (for iOS 4.3.3) and it failed. I already tried to delete the app from iTunes and add it again and still not working.If u could help me out with it, it would be awesome. Congrats on the jailbreak, btw, it is easiest and most practical one I've ever seen.

    I have followed the exact steps and my jailbreak went through successfully on my Ipad 2 A5 device however after the reboot the absinthe logo did not turn into Cydia so now i'm stuck with a jailbroken device with no Cydia, Can't restore through itunes as it's an A5 device and absinthe wont re-jailbreak as it says this is already done. Please I need urgent help as to how i can get cydia on my ipad 2?

    Absinthe 2.0.1 runs for at least 5 to 10 minutes and I keep getting "Absinthe iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" I don't know how to fix this..
