Help I cannot get itunes to upgrade my iphone 4s from 5.0.1 jailbroken to 5.1.1 What am I doing wrong here, this has to be a very common problem that people are facing that have jailbroken phones already. The error that occurs in itunes is unknown error occured (3194).

My device has a mandatory pass code set by an MDM policy, it can't be disabled. Will Absinthe still run and jailbreak? I know that trying to remove the passcode profile, initiates a remote wipe of the device.

Why is that after Right Clicking on the Absinthe exe and selecting the Run as Administrator option, it shows the black window and there's a lot of (Extracting absnthe-win-2.0.4\data\9B206\iP.................), vanishes and doesn't do any thing? It's not prompting me to connect iPhone or anthing?.. :( What's the problem here?... Thanks for the answer and solution.

Hi, I need help here. I'm trying to jailbreak my iPhone 4 (GSM) with iOS 5.1.1 (9B206) according to the Absinthe program. When I click on the Jailbreak button, the bar starts loading and after 5 - 7 mins, the program closes on its own and a message pops up saying "Absinthe.exe has stopped working." Anyone out there experienced the same problem as me and has solutions? Running on Windows 7. :/

After careful consideration I did it an it works pretty good for me! Some of the mods aren't working but I'm assuming they haven't been updated to work in 5.1.1... So for anyone on the fence about doing it, just go for it! I'm probly gonna trade in my 3gs now and try this with a 4s!

After jailbreaking a clean (just DFUed) 4S, I found it wasn't syncing properly:
- The app store wouldn't launch, but would crash at startup
- Music would sync, but apps and photos wouldn't - at the final stage the phone stopped syncing, but iTunes thought it still was
- The system log was being spammed every ten milliseconds by spotlightd complaining it couldn't do things
- The system log didn't actually contain any information that could have been used to determine the problem
- "erase all settings" would hang after rebooting
- DFU restoring didn't solve the problem
The root cause was actually that the process of installing 5.1.1, activating, and jailbreaking somehow caused /var/mobile/ to have the wrong permissions, so nothing running as mobile (90% of the daemons running on the phone) could write to it.
The solution is to install openssh, and create any missing directories, then chown/chmod everything to the correct permissions, as follows:
/var/mobile/ drwxr-xr-x1 mobile mobile

It took me hours of fiddling to find out that this had happened, so hopefully anyone with the same problem will find this post in Google. -

Hi. I have Jailbroken my iPhone 4 using redsnow, I got it from www.redsn0w-download.com. May I ask what's the difference if I unlock it by Absinthe? I got 5.1.1 iOS and 4.12.01 baseband and it was successful even I accidentally unplugged the cord to my pc. Next thing that I want to try is unlock my phone, is it possible?

Just JB my iPhone!! About to have some fun!! LOL

is this working?too many negative comments...

@ahmedy if you jailbreak after a clean restore (and before restoring from the backup) it will work without any issue. But if you have a lot of media on your iPhone and try to use this method, then there is a high probability of hitting an issue.
