iPhone Absinthe v2.0! Jailbreak iOS 5.1.1

Mine doesnt seem to do anything :\ Clean 5.1.1 install, 10.7.4 OS. Runs through and says if I wanna try again, click jailbreak.
 
4S was successful. I did a backup, but no need to restore back to it. The jailbreak didn't remove my camera roll.
 
Backed up my 4s. Upgraded to 5.1.1 then ran the jailbreak with no problems. Everything is back running the way it was.
 
iPhone 4s 5.1.1 is now jailbroken, i did this from a clean restore after restoring all my data from iCloud. Thanks Dev Team, I will be donating when I leave work.

Lol no fear that won't happen. Can't remember last time someone did that without doing some real hardcore hacking to the bootloader/baseband/ect.

If you just ran mods through cydia you're fine!
 
Upgraded 4S to 5.1.1 and JB, no issues except my folders are gone. Should I have done a restore then JB? will that restore my folders and icon alignment?
 
I have 40GBs worth of apps on my iPad 3, and luckily I successfully managed to JB my iPad 3 WiFi without restoring from iTunes (woulda been a major hassle to reinstall everything). Here's what I did:

First I deactivated the passcode. Then I ran Absinthe 2.0 from my Win7 machine. After clicking the jailbreak button, it hung there for like 8 mins 1/4 through the bar, then I got an error saying "application has stopped working". In other words, Absinthe crashed. In the meantime, nothing changed on the iPad screen. It remained on the homescreen.

I closed it, right clicked on the Absinthe icon, went to properties, and checked the Windows XP compatibility mode and Run As Administrator. I fired it up again, and at first it said that the JB has previously failed on the device. It proceeded to recover the files and clear up the previous JB, then it started over. It took like 12 mins, and eventually the iPad restarted, and I was greeted by a Cydia icon on the springboard 🙂
 
Jailbroke a 4S extremely easily on my MacBook Pro. Having similar issues to others with apps not updating and the store not showing results. I'll try again in a few hours when things slow down, but thanks for the help getting it done 🙂

Tried "Erase All Content and Settings" then Absinthe 2.0 severel times with no luck... it failed (and recovered each time).

Used "Restore" in iTunes, configured as a new phone with a dummy name and waited untill iTunes was finshed syncing with the phone.
Closed iTunes, started Absinthe 2.0 and jailbreak was successful 🙂

Restarted iTunes and restored from previous backup.
