Absinthe 2.0 Brings Untethered Jailbreak to iOS 5.1.1 Devices Including New iPad

[ignus graius]

Jailbroke my AT&T iPad3 this afternoon after upgrading to 5.1.1 OTA. Took me 15-20 minutes but everything seems to be working (installed iFile and Terminal).

Any word on process to update from untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak?

Sync and do a backup of your device.

Do a full factory restore, which will upgrade to 5.1.1.

Jailbreak using Absinthe 2.0.

Restore your backup.

Does it support the iPod Touch 4th gen?

Does it support the iPod Touch 4th gen?

Yes it does. Did it on 3 of my devices

 

[marcusj0015]

Yes it does. Did it on 3 of my devices

Awesome, thanks downloading now.

Wow, I gotta try that, just for those features:

Let's see:

Notifications. (ios does that)
Icons in the status bar (Press twice and that comes up in ios)
For weather I actually look outside
What is better multitasking?

Maybe I am old fashioned, but I do one thing at a time. Has served me well over the years.

It's really hard to swipe, point, drag and click with a finger and occasionally push the home button.

Damn Apple forces us to work out unnecessarily!

you just made yourself sound completely naive and clearly have no idea about jailbreak tweaks.

I did every step correctly and it still won't work. :/

My device: IPad 2 - WiFi - 5.1.1

PLEASE HELP!

----------

" Absinthe 2.0 works only on iOS 5.1.1, and enables jailbreaking of all iPad models with the exception of the revised 16 GB iPad 2"

How can I tell if my iPad2 is a revised 16GB?!?

----------

I did ever step perfect. At the last step, Absinthe tells me - "recovery complete. If you want to retry jailbreak, unplug device and plug it back in".

Cydia isn't installed and I've tried retrying numerous times and nothing is working.

 

[Tinmania]

tried it 4 times and it never manages to jailbreak for me.
does the "restore" part, reboots, and then says it failed and iphone is still unjailbroken.

Both my iPhone 4S and iPad 3 were updated OTA to 5.1.1. Jailbroke them both without ever needing to restore.

iPad 3 + Quasar = OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

For $10 it changes the whole iPad experience IMO. I feel like my mb air and iPad just got married.

Yeah, you just think you're cool. I'll show you what's REALLY cool...

This is what the iPad was made for. Some of you might go on and on about inter-connectivity, productivity, information at your fingertips. Whatever. All that matters is I can finally play Maniac Mansion on my iPad.

This is the future people...as I imagined it to be when I was 12 back in '92.

 

[rhett7660]

I can't wait to do this to my iPad.... have been waiting!!! Great news.

What emulator is that?

 

[Renzatic]

What emulator is that?

ScummVM. It plays all the old Lucasarts and Sierra games.

 

[alphaod]

Excellent. I can finally upgrade. I've been having that "cannot purchase" bug for a very long time.

 

[Spectrum Abuser]

jail breaking is becoming obsolete. Why? because there are no benefits.

I'm tired so I'm not even going to begin to construct a list of benefits. Instead I'll end this with a short message. You're the ill-informed.

I'll have to get that one. I got the PSX emulator for my 4s but it's a pain to play with the screen. It was more fun on the iPad. And now I can JB my iPad3 just so I can play my old PSX games! Only reason for me to JB an iPad

What app/tweak is that?

 

[roadbloc]

SWEEEET. Thanks MR.

 

[anonymous12]

I have the new iPad 3rd generation and the "jailbreak" sign in Absinthe is greyed out. Can't click it.

Why won't this work with my developer preview of Mt Lion

They released an ML compatible version, using it now.

UPDATE: Worked like a charm

Cydia servers must be slammed!

Don't remind me! Twenty years later I still have not finished that game.

As for cool... try Infinity Blade and Infinity Blade II at the same time!

I haven't Jailbroken my iPhone since the 3G, maybe 3Gs.

What are the reasons to jailbreak now? You get the apps for free, you can tether 3G to your laptop/iPad right? Anything else new that's happened in the last couple years?

Back then I seem to remember it being an issue. Glitchy, and always worried about the new software updates. Then again those software updates always seemed to bring out new "features" in some sense.

Appreciate any update on the whole jailbreak experience.

Hey guys,

I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 running 5.0.1. How do I make the change to 5.1.1 and keep the jail break with this tool?
