iPhone 4S and new iPad supported



The Chronic Dev Team has finally released Absinthe v2.0 tool to jailbreak almost every iOS device with 5.1.1 firmware

Yes! It's here!

The so long waited for Untethered Jailbreak of iOS 5.1.1 is now available to the public and comes with iPhone 4S and new iPad support bringing both devices freedom for the first time.

According to Redmonpie:

With work on the iOS 5.1.1 jailbreak being finished and satisfactorily tested, the team involved have included the files and exploits in a new version of the Chronic Dev Team’s Absinthe tool that was introduced to us as a jailbreak solution for iOS 5.0.1. One of the main benefits of the tool is the extreme simplicity of the interface, with user guidance being provided all the way through and only involving a few clicks to get the job done.

As confirmed by iPhone Dev Team leader MuscleNerd, the 5.1.1 jailbreak will also be available through the use of the tried and tested Redsn0w tool as well as an updated version of the command line interface cinject binary. We already know that a large number of users prefer the familiar interface that the Redsn0w tool offers, but for those who aren’t stuck on familiarity and want to go down the route of using Absinthe for its rather cool and edgy sounding name as well as the simple and intuitive interface, then it is officially available to download now!

Compatible devices for iOS 5.1.1 untether:

-iPhone 4S
-iPhone 4
-iPhone 3GS
-iPad (3rd Gen)
-iPad 2
-iPad 1
-iPod touch 3G/4G
-Apple TV (2nd Gen)

You can download Absinthe 2.0 for Mac and Windows.

I have done it a while ago. Works even faster than RedSn0w but requires that your iTunes backup copy is not password protected. I was having problems with this because if you have installed a custom profile (for university network connection for example) you can't uncheck the "Encrypt backup" in iTunes. You have to delete the profile and then uncheck the option.

BTW: Cydia is fucked up due to the high traffic :P
