Hello, I've seen some discutions here and on other forums about unlocking the 4s but they all seem to be really questioning, can someone answer some questions please?
1. as of now redsn0w doesn't have a jailbreak method for the 4s, right?
2. if i jailbreak it with other programs, absinthe, greenpoision and others, what are the cons? will siri work? can i restore? will i have to change the baseband?
3. if i jailbreak can i unlock it?
Thank you for your time.

4S, 5.0.1(9A406) MC922LL 1.0.14.
Thank you!

no just absinthe for the 4s

only cons I can see is random icons showing up when you install/uninstall (respring will fix this)

1. Correct

2. Absinthe is the only program to jailbreak the 4S. Siri works with no problems, the jailbreak doesn't interfere. In fact you can install apps from Cydia that enhances Siri.

3. For the possible unlock for the 4S, you'll need to downgrade to 5.0.1 (94A405).
