If I'm on 5.0.1 is the correct version to be on 9A405???

I think I saw there was a difference between the over-the-air and itunes version...
 
for me, im still unable to jailbreak my ipad 2 which i tried first. the app simply wont load on my ipad. then i tried my iphone and worked like a charm. app appeared, clicked on it, got the white screen, closed the app, then turned on vpn, got the error, tried a 2nd time to turn vpn on, then it finally crashed, and the app turned into the cydia app. noticed my photos were missing. rebooted device, photos present,, all is good on iphone, but still cant jb my ipad2. i wonder if i need to restore ipad as new in itunes and then try, anyone try this?

Same here - 4S successfully jailbroken (had to toggle VPN), iPad2/64/GSM no luck, stuck on the white screen in Absinthe. VPN toggle doesn't crash anything.

Also, has anybody pointed out that there isn't a "jailbreak" icon, only a "Ansinthe" icon? Confusing at first (but doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out.)

Have u tried re-jailbreaking and toggling vpn before using the Absinthe app?

Just ran on both my 4s and iPad 2. Worked perfect first time on both. Woohoo

Confused me at first aswell. But i clicked the Absinthe logo and it did what it had to do and after it restarted cydia was there.

figured it out....i restored my ipad 2 as a new. no apps on it. then did the jailbreak and the app finally installed. clicked on it, got the white screen, closed out of app, and then the vpn deal twice, and viola!
 
Does absynth not work with osx 10.5? I have a hackintosh ive used every other time to jb but this time I keep getting "the application quit unexpectedly" every time I try to open it.
