Hello all!
Real excited about the 4s Jailbreak...
I have a few questions about the JB..
I've been a JBer on a few different devices for a few years now...so I'm some what familiar.. But sadly I forget steps along the way..
1.Apple seems to want to update to 5.3 or something and I see the JB is for the 5.1 version..
How do I get the 5.1 version on my iphone?
It's really easy to JB today.
5.0.1 is the latest IOS and is what itunes should say as well.. 5.1 hasn't been released yet so no worries.
You need to run OSX to jailbreak a 4S though otherwise you need to wait for a windows version.
Hook phone to USB
Backup phone in itunes (right click on the device and choose this).
Start absinthe - click jailbreak
Wait until it tells you it's almost done (it will say!)
Find the absinthe icon on one of the home screens and click it
Phone should restart
then cydia should be on there instead of the absinthe icon and it should be done.
If you get an error when opening absinthe on your iDevice, then go to settings and turn on VPN, it will give you an error (which should be expected) and then restart after about 5-15seconds and it should be done.
----------
Is it really going to be that much of a PITA to upload to 5.1?
What do you mean?
No-one knows yet as it's not out, so we wouldn't know if jailbreak works with it too, maybe, maybe not.. Time will tell!
