Yesterday the Jailbreak Dream Team also known as the Chronic-Dev Team and the iPhone Dev Team released Absinthe 2.0 a tool to allow you to jailbreak your device untethered running on iOS 5.1.1.
This release has been a large collaborative effort between Chronic-Dev Team and iPhone Dev Team (Jailbreak Dream Team) with copious amounts of work and many sleepless nights but it has finnally arrived.
Absinthe 2.0 only supports firmware 5.1.1 on the following devices:
iPad1,1 – 2,1 – 2,2 – 2,3 – 3,1 – 3,2 – 3,3
iPhone2,1 – 3,1 – 3,3 – 4,1
iPod3,1 – 4,1
(Support for iPad2,4 will be added at a later date)
*UPDATE 1*
Absinthe 2.0.1 has been released fixing a hang that could occur in certain situations.
How To Use Absinthe 2.0.1:
1. Make a backup of your device in iTunes by right clicking on your device name under the ‘Devices’ menu and click ‘Back Up’.
2. After your backup has completed return to your device and go to Settings – General – Reset – Erase all Content and Settings.
3. Make sure you are still connected via USB and open Absinthe then click ‘Jailbreak’ and wait be patient and do not disconnect your device.
4. Once jailbroken return to iTunes and restore your backup from earlier. Right click on your device name under the ‘Devices’ menu in the left panel of iTunes and click ‘Restore from Back Up…’ then select the latest backup you created before.
