I get to this point and then after about 2 minutes it says:

"Recovery completed. If you want to retry jailbreaking, unplug you device and plug it back in."

The phone is still on Official 5.1.1 and un-jailbroken.

Tried it twice - still not jailbroken.

Is this because the JB program is trying to download and install Cydia to the device and because the servers are getting swamped it's timing out?

I reset the device and erased all settings ahead of time. Any ideas?


EDIT - FIXED. Absinthe 2.0.1 FIXES the problem!

Go get the new update on the Greenpoison site if you have issues!

When I used the erase all settings button, my jailbreak failed countless times. When I jailbroke from a clean restore and nothing else, it worked flawlessly. Try this :]

Oh, I see.

ok - thanks.

----------

Question - how do I restore to 5.1.1 if I'm already on 5.1.1.?

Is there a way to force a clean 5.1.1?

I honestly don't know how.

Thanks.

lol
 
Just saw Greepoison uploaded Absinthe 2.0.1 to their site.

I guess there's a bug fix in there?

Anyone have a changelog for it?

----------

UPDATE:

FIXED!

There's a NEW UPDATE for Absinthe - 2.0.1 on the Greepoison site.

THIS version worked on the first try no problems!

Did not have to do a clean restore of 5.1.1.


I recommend this version to anyone having issues!


Thanks!

I've got the same issue. Can't really count how many times I've tried. I even used the command line interface rather than Absinthe and still nothing. I used the command line to watch the syslog and lockdownd showed up when unlocking it (seems logical..). So I'm going to try again setting the auto-lock to never (even though I don't use a passcode). That way the screen is on the whole time. Maybe that'll work.

Edit: no such luck. Still hangs on waiting for reboot after not restoring during the JB process. Restoring again.
