"something seems to have gone wrong; trying to recover"iPad2+3G; 5.1.1 9B206. Backed up my ipad and erased everything. Hit the Jailbreak button. Ipad says "restore complete" then reboots. See the message "slide to unlock" on ipad and I slide. Absinthe says "waiting for process to complete..." and stays like that for a few minutes.Then Absinthe gives the message "Hm...something seems to have gone wrong...trying to recover"any ideas?Thanks!

just use Absinthe 2.0 is works for all ipods iphones and ipad and is easy
-
exactly the same with my iphone 4s, any idea?
-
Same problem here as "snap" had! We are waiting for the ideas :))
-
same here
-
When everything was done and it said slide to unlock I did that then I clicked cydia and it said restoring files so I waited but once it was done my iPod turned off so I turned it back on and I couldn't locate cydia. Please someone help me
-
same here! annoyed...
-
exactly the same with 4S and 1st gen iPad...
-
i keep getting halfway through the jailbreak and then absinthe stops working, dont kno what to do , someone help me?
-
i have exact the same issue, any info on the matter, anyone?
-
guys, i know how to do it , trust mewaste a little bit time to restore again , i know it annoy1 . restore again ( dun lazy )2. once done , don,t touch anything but absinthe only3. click jailbreak4.work ?
-
never mind, i worked it through, just go to options and erase all settings, and that did it for me :P
-
do you do a DFU-mode restore - or a regular restore from iTunes?
-
For anyone with the "hmm something seems to have gone wrong" problem:It happened with my iPad 2 Wi-Fi. I solved it by:1. Restauring to 5.1.1;2. Loading my iPad backup3. Running the jailbreak.Took 2 minutes for it to complete, without erasing any settings. :)
-
If you keep getting that you need to put your device in dfu mode and reinstall 5.1.1 after that rejailbreak it with Absinthe. That's what i had to do to make it work for me
-
got it working!1 - go to http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html and type in your serial number to get the ipad version (turns out I have an ipad2,2)2 - download the firmware from http://www.ijailbreak.com/news/download-ios-5-1-1-firmware-apple/. Firmware for ipad2,2 was a monster 737mb3 - I didn't erase my ipad - but I did make a backup (just in case...) In iTunes, hold the shift-key down and click "restore". Select the .ipsw file you downloaded in step 2. I was on 5.1.1, and re-applied 5.1.1.4 - once firmware reflash is complete use absinthe. While jailbreaking, don't worry if the screen goes off (I didn't slide to unlock or anything - just left the ipad alone)
-
All i've had were issues with this. It finally got done installing the jailbreak but Cydia crashes when it is preparing the filesystem and then I have only Youtube on my Springboard.
-
Well it finnaly worked this time. Forgot to run as admenestrator.
-
Do you have to have your IPod off when you jailbreak?
-
Do i need wifi to jail break my ipod 4G 5.1.1 ?
-
I assume you are on Windows (where that would make sense) but I have the same problem with OSX. I'll update folks after I try one of the suggestions below. I think "erasing all data" is what caused the problem. Going to restore from backup first and then run the jailbreak.
-
this finally worked for me. as i say above, you should restore your backup *before* doing the jailbreak. otherwise it doesn't work (or it didn't for me at least).
-
Worked like a charm for my ipod 3g, so so easy. Just one problem, when i tried with an ipod 4g it didn't recognise it. Is this a bug?
-
Has anyone managed to install "****" application using Cydia? Apparently cydia can't install **** or **** application. I have managed to jailbreak Ipad3 and successfully install Cydia but without App Installer it is not very useful.
-
i have winrar, i guess everyone does? idk. do i double click on the application in winrar? ive done that maybe 3 times and when its finished i dont get a new folder or shortcut.i have windowsi dont even see "run as administrator" am i even making sense? im usually not this stupid with computers but i have no idea what im doing right now
-
So do you only zip and extract if you have pc
-
And not if u have a mac
-
it doesnt work when i press absinthe. nothing happens. HELP.
