I decided recently to jailbreak my iPhone 4 with 5.01. I downloaded redsn0w and followed the steps to jailbreak it. When I opened redsn0w i proceeded with the jailbreak process but it will not complete. My phone starts to reload and redsn0w says it is waiting for the phone to reload and it never does and the phone never completes the jailbreak. Did not have this problem with myniPad1 with 5.01. Any ideas?

Thanks
 
Why not use Absinthe ... one click and works all the time :)

Do a hard reboot before retrying the jailbreak now..

From what I see, Absinthe is only for the iPhone 4S. Is there a version for the regular iPhone 4?

No. Absinthe = A5 chip

Fresh restore via itunes (most recent version of itunes). Load latest version of redsn0w on computer - 0.9.10b5c... Re-jailbreak.

That is the problem, I have done a fresh restore, downloaded the latest version of redsn0w and it does not work.
