Jailbreak 5.1.1 Untethered For iPhone 4S,4,3Gs, iPod Touch 4,3 & iPad,3,2


Today, the Chronic Dev Team released Absinthe v2.0 – the first 5.1.1 Untethered Jailbreak since iOS 5.0.1! The new utility also includes support for Apple’s latest A5 (iPhone 4S, iPad 2) and A5X (3rd-generation iPad) devices.

First, before we begin, You Will Need the following:

  • An A5X (3rd-gen iPad), A5 (iPhone 4S, iPad 2), A4 (iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4th-gen, iPad 1) device or older (iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3rd-gen) running Apple’s iOS 5.1.1
  • Absinthe 2.0 (Available in the download section)

Steps:

1. Open Absinthe after downloading it and place the app in an easy to access location -preferably the desktop

  • (if you’re on Windows Vista or Windows 7, you’ll need to right click Absinthe, set the compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 2 and run it as an administrator)

2. Plug your device in via USB and click “Jailbreak”

3. Leave your device plugged in and leave it connected until you see “Done, enjoy!”

  • Note 1: The first three processes inside of Absinthe will certainly take a while to complete and vary depending on your iDevice and computer
  • Note 2: MAKE SURE you REMOVE your security passcode before you Jailbreak (you can reset it once your device is Jailbroken)

Congratulations, you now have an Untethered Jailbreak on iOS 5.1.1!

Untethered: Your device is untethered, which means you don’t have to plug it in to a computer and re-run a certain part of the Absinthe utility upon rebooting it – simply power it off and back on

Convert your Tethered Jailbreak to an Untethered Jailbreak (on an iPhone 4,3Gs, iPod Touch 4,3 or an iPad) by searching for and installing “Rocky Racoon” from Cydia.

Download Absinthe:

Absinthe 2.0.4 for Mac

  • dan

    If you cant figure out how to download absinthe, you don’t deserve jailbreak

  • http://twitter.com/CA_Cloud_Kicker G.C.

    I currently have an iPhone 4 running 5.0.1 and it is jailbroken already…If I upgrade to 5.1.1 then jailbreak it again using absinthe will I lose my jailbreak apps, settings, themes, and layout etc. I don’t really want to have to redownload and reconfigure my setup and layout all over again. I guess I want to know that once I jailbreak it with absinthe will everything be as it was when my iPhone was jailbroken on 5.0.1?

      • Fattemaalmaeli

        you can get them all back 

        • Jack Welbur

          just shutdown your device and start it back up. it should solve the problem :)

  • jay

    keeps bring me to a cmd prompt then does nothing

  • Rex

    Is the jailbreak reversible? My phone is still under warranty. 

    • cybe007

      Yes it is. Just go to iTunes and restore the iPhone. :]

      • Hoop_love_23

        If you restore you phone to take off the jailbreak do you lose all you photos/contacts/music??

        • cybe007

          No. If the computer is the one that syncs with the iPhone then it’ll ask you to backup everything on the device an after the update it’ll ask you if you want to restore all your data or set up as a new iPhone.

          • Aly

            I think it wont backup music , only contacts and messages and notes and picture roll

    • Eddiejamesbernal

      if you jailbreak and then it breaks you cant get a new one even with warrantee? what if it breaks and then like put it in water alot will they know if it was jailbroken?

  • San Antonio Jailbreak

  • phoenix76

    this is absolutely ridiculous. it should not be this much work to find a link. it makes no sense. why would the link not be as easily attainable as the download manager links that show up on every friggin page. i have been trying to find this link for almost an hour and i am just going to move on to another program that is less complicated.

  • The_Scotsmen

    plug mine in and it says your device is unsupported.. i followed the direction to the letter.

  • loyal907

    it always says: looks like you attempted to apply this Jailbreak and it failed. Will try to fix now. then it says: Recovery completed. if you want to retry jailbreaking, unplug your device and plug it back in. I unplugged it and click the jailbreak button, and nothing new happen, it says “looks like you attempted…..” any help? oh I can’t add to music or photos anything when I sync it to itunes!! at all, I restored it, but’s the same, nothing changed :(

  • Itgineerdik

    Can i restore it? :(

    • Coolerthanunu2

       Yes

  • Itgineerdik

    why my photos? Deleted? :(

    • Mikey

       That’s why you make a backup on iTunes before you do your jailbreak. So that when you do jailbreak it and get Cydia, you can go back on iTunes and restore your iPod.

  • Itgineerdik

    Thank you so much! :D D :**

  • Syed Reza

  • runthe9

    Absinthe. i refused the updates from both apple and Verizon. can

    first. can someone walk me threw it i also would hate to loose all i
    have done with the phone tweaks and what nots is there a way not to
    loose them please help thanks

  • Matt

    I am running Absinthe on Windows Vista, and in the directions it says to change the compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 2, and then to run the program as an administrator. I have done both of these and every time i try it the program shuts down, and Windows just tells me that the program has “stopped working.” I am very confused and do not know how to resolve this problem. I am using a iPhone 4s.Thanks.

    Hey everyone. How’s Absinthe 2.0.4 working? Did it fix those mid-jailbreak crashes? I don’t feel like trying myself since my iPod’s been acting up since my last jailbreak attempt . Always remember to be safe when jailbreaking. Thanks.

    • Mikey

       I couldn’t get Absinthe v2.0 to jailbreak my iPod touch 4g 5.1.1 but I tried Absinthe v2.0.4 and it worked perfectly. Make sure that you make a backup of your device on iTunes because you do the jailbreak

    • iphone4s

    Help ! 

  • Gaby C.

    The installation worked really good, my iPad is jailbroken; but now my iPad is giving me lots of issues such as:
    1. I can’t delete any of my apps installed. I press the ‘X’ to delete and then it gets stuck.
    2. Some of my buttons or things are gone. for example i can’t see the wifi signal in the top corner of the screen.
    3. it changed automatically the way settings look, and it doesn’t look right it looks like some elements disappear.
    4. i can’t enter safari, it automatically closes the program and gets me out of there.
    5. it makes my icons look white, or disappear. i even try installing some bug fixes for that and it didn’t work. 

    I’m using the new retina iPad. if anyone here knows any tweak names for this issues, or they’re bugs or anything please let me know. I would love some help here. 

    Thank you very much!

      did you extract the folder to where you want it and click on the absinthe 2.0.1.exe, wait for that to be done, refresth folder and there is another folder, the actual absinthe should be in there.

  • @Rhythmreactor

    Why would any-one try to brick his $800,- laptop with some hack. You would not, keep it safe with Windows 7, right. Now this IOS5 Jailbreak is hilarious. So many things are not validated or simply working. Only a fool would try it a second time and one more after that. Stick to the original OS and be happy with until an update gets available. You only have to wait 4 months before the new iPhone 5 is presented. Believe me, this is the one you will buy without a Jailbreak. 

    • Ollie_kenworthy

      Why post negative comments on this guys website. He is only trying to help people out there trying to do it. Sad that people like you have to go round and put a downer on some peoples work. There are loads of people that enjoy having the privalidge of doing what they want with there devices!

  • lemueljedc

    great! worked flawlessly! I’m kinda confused though why the process in your video was long. my total jailbreak time only took me 2 minutes. as long as it works! :D

    using an iPhone 4 (not iPhone 4s), I downloaded a fresh 5.1.1 firmware ( 9B206) and restored my iPhone. next, I downloaded the absinthe 2.0.1 for windows and extracted the files. I highlighted the absinthe application and right-clicked the mouse, setting it to compatibility for windows xp service pack 3, and run the application…viola!! thank you so much for the clear instructions! worth the wait. :D

  • Liss

    Thank you very much!

    My ipod 4th gen is now jailbroken on iOS 5.1.1!

    I didn’t have any trouble, all I did was restore and update it to 5.1.1, opened Absinthe an wait for it to “extract”, then I opened the folder it created, opened the Absinthe.exe, plug-in my iPod and hit jailbreak. People need to be patient while you’re doing this, it will be worth it.

  • Dylan rush

    INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAC USERS!!!!!

    for the jailbreak to work, you need to back up your device, now you will restore the device, set it up as NEW device, now you will jailbreak with absinthe and it will say “enjoy” instead of “retry by unplugging and plugging your device in” now once its finished, you will restore to the backup you just performed. now to FIX cydia, go to manage, select packages, select cydia installer, and reinstall. YOUR 5.1.1 IS NOW JAILBROKEN WITH WORKING CYDIA!
