Working and watching the comments roll in. I'll be ready in a few hours to go home and finally update from 4.2.something to 5.1.1 which won't be a quick process, I'm sure.
Will my iP4 be unlockable with this JB?

Yea, this doesn't work for me.

Restore? - shift and right click? choose ispw and then rejailbreak?
What I did to fix the issue is downloading rocky racoon untether right after i jailbreak using redsnow. It worked for me, without using absinthe.
Getting the same thing. Tried 3 times with iPhone4s and get this message...
"Something seems to have gone wrong...trying to recover. Recovery completed. If you want to retry jailbreaking, unplug your device and plug it back in".
Does anybody have any mirrors for the Windows download? I'm getting a page view limit exceeded when I try to access the file.
Getting ERROR: Could not connect to lockdownd. Aborting
This is after restoring from iTunes in Windows. Going to try in Mac OSX 10.7 now.
EDIT: When I tried on OSX it said that untether was detected, and Cydia was on my springboard. Weird!

If you get this error: "Something seems to have gone wrong...trying to recover. Recovery completed. If you want to retry jailbreaking, unplug your device and plug it back in", or similar.
Then,
1. Restore iDevice using iTunes - Go to iTunes, click on iDevice on the left then restore (or shift restore and select 5.1.1 firmware, if you have already downloaded firmware).
2. After restore is complete, click on the iDevice on the left and make sure it connects to iTunes store.
3. Load up Absinthe and click jailbreak.

Thats strange considering you did a full wipe. I know this isn't the answer you were looking for but try a restore again lol. Maybe on a different computer.
yes it works on the new ipad firmware 5.1.1 not 5.1. Just make sure you upgrade before using absinthe
Erase / Reset and set up as new phone worked. Weird thing was I already had 5.1.1 for weeks on my phone. It was plugged into the computer and iTunes was open when it rebooted and it downloaded 5.1.1 and re-installed. After that I re-ran Absinthe and it worked.
worked for me the first time and I was half asleep when doing it, not sure how you kids cant get it to work
I keep getting the something may have gone wrong error. Even after erasing all settings and content.
