iOS 5.1.1 Jailbreaking issues. Need help ASAP.

Let it sit at that step. It will eventually correct itself.

I've now tried 2.0.1, 2.0.2 and 2.0.4 with the same results. Hangs at "Waiting for reboot - not done yet, don't unplug your device yet!"

Any other ideas? This is the first iPad or iPhone jb didn't work for me. 🙁 My iPhone4 and iPad2 worked fine.

Well at least I don't feel like I'm the only one. Although I'm on an AT&T iPhone 4S. I literally have tried 20+ times and every time I get stuck at "waiting for reboot." If I try to reboot it myself it continues the JBing process until it gives me some error message about "lockdown/lockdownd." I have been jailbreaking/unlocking ever since the 3GS days so I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything wrong. I also tried 2.0.1, 2.0.2, and 2.0.4 and I've tried restoring after each attempt either OTA or through iTunes.

Same happening to me... I'm trying now to restore to the downloaded firmware to see if it fixes...

It seems it is only happening using the Mac version. Bootcamped with windows and now it works perfectly.

I let it sit for 3 hours. Made no difference.

Kodeman ...If your iPad 2 is on IOS 5.1.1 then you can use Absinthe 2.0.4

I jailbroke my iPad2 without a problem. My current issue is with my iPad3, aka New iPad.

I've tried my Parallels version of Windows7 without success. Tonight I will try a native, Windows7 laptop.

Jailbreaking on the native Win7 laptop worked.

I'm not quite sure what you are referring to. The only software the Dev Team has released is the CLI version of Absinthe and the greenpois0n site indicates it is supposed to work on the iPad3.....and it did, but I had to run it on a native Win7 device. I appreciate the offer though.
