Download Greenpois0n Absinthe For Windows To Jailbreak iPad 2, iPhone 4S

First!!

HELL YEAH!!

Excelente¡,empezare ahora mismo

first..

Actually you’re more like 3rd..haha

Do I need to download the 5.01 firmware even though my Iphone is already on 5.01?

Do i need to download the firmware or can i make a backup and use that?

awsome

6

when i click on the absinthe app its just stack on please stand by…

Says I must run the app as administrator. Ok easy enough. Right-click Run as Administrator. Nope same error. Open Properties of Absinthe.EXE and under Compatibility tab check box Run as Administrator. Run nope -same error. ! Trust me I KNOW how to run apps as Administrator on Windows 7! Tried changing Compatibility mode to XP even. The fun never ends.

No.

No.

6th o yea

worked like a charm

when i click on the absinthe app its just stays on please stand by…

Not working on windows 7..

preparing the file system as i type:)

hey can you help? this showed up after ur turn on VPN step instead of the lines that is shown in ur video
postimage(dot)org(slash)image(­­­slash)7­08z07s65
or when i click the absinthe it just stays there and nothing happens with “ABSINTHE is now settings things up, please stand by…’ for like 30 minutes

absinthe.exe has stopped working message on Windows 7…
tried like 5 times…

it worked great! jailbroke in 5 min, no problems. here’s what I did.

BEFORE JAILBREAK

made sure passcode was disabled, closed all background apps, did a reboot (completely shut off device and turned back on)

then i followed the video tutorial as i jailbroke my own device, and it worked without a hitch. program installed absinthe, i opened it up, and then my device rebooted twice, and absinthe became cydia!

nothing missing. siri works. imessage works. all pics in camera roll.
only problem ive noticed so far is that when i downloaded winterboard the icon was white, this was easily fixed by reinstalling the tweak in cydia. also, i tried to download five icon dock in the “featured” section, but it said it could not locate package. could be as simple as adding more sources. let’s hope!

happy jailbreaking!

no, there is no need to download the firmware or restore your device if you are already on 5.0.1 – just run the program and absinthe will be put on the last page of your apps. no need to restore then run the jb. thats only if you arent on 5.0.1 or want a clean start.

hope that helps mate

My iPad2 is stuck on “ABSINTHE is now setting things up, please stand-by..” for 20 mins. What should i do?

did you extract all files to the same folder from the zip file? and did you run absinthe.exe as administrator? try that. if that doest work, try right clicking absinthe and try it in windows xp SP3 compatibility mode. might work!

while my device spent maybe about 5 seconds on that page, the servers might be getting overloaded right now! i would re run the jailbreak if you are tired of waiting. or, you could easily try going back to your homescreen, close absinthe from the multitasking completely, and reopen the program. it might work then.

cheers

FAG!

Encountered the same as you. I’m re-attemping jailbreak again.

Worked flawless in iPad 2 5.0.1 (9A405) Windows 7 x64

I have a problem, my iphone backup on iTunes has a password and when I open absinthe it tells me to remove the password in iTunes and then rerun absinthe. The problem is I have no idea how to do this since the box with that option is greyed out…

thanks)

when I “play” in music.app not want it to run the music. This after I have done the jailbreak an iPad 2 (GMS). What do I do to fix this?

Yeah only , unrar this , on desktop, and them use compatibility mode to xp sp3 and administrator privileg…..

If you update recently ur ipad or iphone searh un your c: some .ipsw and use the original used by Itunes

avisame como te fue!!1

Same exact problem. Right click, run as Admin, gives admin error. Right click, Compatibility, Run in XP SP3, gives admin error. Runas, from command line, as admin, still says it needs to be run as admin. Enabled Admin account, logged into computer as Admin, still says I’m not admin when running it. What’s with this pile of shit?

Woooooooooooohoooooo!! Finally, i can download anything I want!! Thanks pod2g, dev team and all others who worked for this jailbreak!!

Didn’t work for me.. still stuck in Absinthe app “please stand-by”

Still not working , i even erased all my content just to be sure

after installing some sources, my contacts icon went completely white. this is mildly annoying, seeing as how i keep it on my homepage. i did a repsring, reboot, you name it. it’s staying white. WTF.

WOW, thank you so much guys, it was worth the wait …keep up the goodwark fellas, it worked flawlessly on my ipad2 WI-FI + 3G

when i click the absinthe it just stays there and nothing happens with “ABSINTHE is now settings things up, please stand by…’ for like 30 minutes and then i went to settings and tried to turn on vpn it just gives me error message and still nothing happens for a long time.

My biggest concern is that there is no network rotation icon indicating that the app is using the internet connection

HELP

Contacts app turned into a blank white square after using cydia to install sources. respring and reboot didnt fix it…any tips? really bummed out

Wow….!!!!!!! I can’t believe it, at last I just jailbreaked my ipad2 just within 10 minutes. Thank you guys for making this for us. I think I should pay for you.

me too

when i click on the absinthe app its just stays on please stand by…

Brilliant…… Worked flawlessly and followed steps in Video exactly. It was worth the wait, and thanks for all the dev’s out there who keep it real for IOS!!

Stuck on waiting to set things up. Tried closing Absinthe many times, but can’t get past it.

same the cli method didnt work for me as well maybe there is something wrong with the vpn

About bloody time!
Worked flawlessly on iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1, Jailbroken on Windows Vista Home Basic.

Before jailbreaking, move into a VERY strong wifi zone. At least 2 bars.
Remove ALL the apps from the multitasking bar. This speeds up shutting down etc.

all in all, only needed to be plugged in for 5 minutes. Most of that time was spent shutting down and starting up my iPad

Thanks for the work. Enjoy your well-earned donations

same with me, the CLI didn’t reboot after the error message and now the absinthe pauses at the “stand-by” screen

is it an overloaded server problem?

I hope it is a server overload problem.

Why is the absinthe waking up my firewall, connecting to local host 127.0.0.1 port 27015?

Doesn’t seem to be working. It is stuck on the initial phase of the jailbreak. Once I click the jailbreak button it just says: “beginning jailbreak, this may take awhile”. I am running windows 7 and I have it selected to administrator and run as xp sp3 as per some suggestions I saw here, but it just doesn’t seem to move past that spot. Any suggestions?

Well not really, Installous is pretty much on Life support these days…

Jailbroke my Iphone 4S today with Greenpoison on Windows.
(ill count to 10 while ur having ur orgasm)

Ok now…
My problem now is I downloaded a game (Solomon’s Boneyard) from Apptracker, but when I want to install it Itunes still gives me the: “Solomon’s Boneyard failed to install” error.

How do I install Freely downloaded apps and games?

absinthe keeps crashing when my device boots back up.

same here

did u get past the screen? im stuck on the stand-by screen also..

My device iphone 4S is locked. I am still stuck on the configuration or “slide to set up” menu when you start your phone for the very first time, and since I have no valid SIM card yet, I can’t unlock it and thereby have no home screen etc. Is there any chance on Jailbreaking it anyway?

i have had the same problems with the command line injector and even the windows absinthe, i also realized that some retarded websites are posting the download link with only the absinthe application. this was my problem. Find another download the download should be in a folder that was the application and another folder called data. The run as admin and everything should go fine. no need for clicking vpn or anything. Hopefully this helps if not im sorry, i know how frustrated you probably are

The Greenpois0n jailbreak works like a champ! Thanks much! Donate to these fine people!!!

i think its a vpn config problem….im trying to jailbreak an ipad 2 64gb gsm and it just stays on “ABSINTHE is now setting up, please stand-by…” i went bak to settings and start to turn on the VPN switch and a error pups up… something in mine?

Yeah, same here. Are you trying to jb iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1?

did you download installous?

yeaa i have the same problem as you! i tried the cli method and the cmd was stuck somewhere after initiating the VPN and didnt move on

I unzipped it into a folder and had the app and the “data” folder but still get stuck on the screen “stand by”

I’m french, and it’s the same thing for me…

shoot down your anti spyware!!!

Perfect, Alhumdulillah..!!:D…worked great…!!
respect!

5.0.1

I have a question. Will all my data still be on my iPad 2 when I jailbreak ???

absinthe stopped to respond while preparing jailbreak data.. after rebooting .
ran as adminstrator and compatibility xp sp3

I’ve been trying for the last hour, and constantly I get the same result. The bar for placing the jailbreaking data gets about half way, then the program crashes. I’ve downloaded three different sources of it. Any ideas?

is your ipad 2 has 5.0.1? if yes, go to setting>general>reset>reset all contents and setting and then try jb agian. dont forget to backup and tranfers all apps first because reset will make your ipad as new….

Absinthe keeps crashing right when it says “installing Jailbreak”. can someone help me?

try CLI…. if still not work. reset contents and setting and then try CLI agian

great!!! working perfect…Thank those who have worked on this

can someone please look at this and tell me whats wrong? it is not continuing to the codes after http://postimage . org/image/708z07s65/

Do as he says and it works… passcode off etc…

Stuck on the ABINTHE icon it say it setting things up but it wont move from there

yes, i have ios 5.0.1, i did what you said…..and nothing further……still on “ABSINTHE is now setting up, please stand-by…”, this is and vpn config problem absolutely….it maybe have a taylored jailbreak machanism as always with redsnow……

if your jb failed, go back to this post: How To Jailbreak iPhone 4S, iPad 2 iOS 5.0.1 On Windows With CLI (GUIDE).

thanks guys both my ipad worked. God bless dev team.

did you guys get a fix? i’m having the same problem

did you try CLI yet?

lol thats where i came from. the vpn step 7 did not work and is stuck here:
http://postimage . org/image/708z07s65/

Nope, it only “cracks” the IOS.

The same thing happens to me and I’ve been trying all day

yes si, but its worst!!!! no icon can be installed

I had the same problem. For the exe file, unzip it. This will make the icon change to a greenpoison icon. Then try executing the file. Worked for me.

And when i turn on the vpn it doesn’t reboot

i dont understand why absinthe keeps crashing….

I went to this option instead and can’t get past placing the second command in the CMD. It doesn’t recognize the source.

never mind, running as admin and XP SP3 worked (even though im on W7)

any luck yet? im still standing by as well.

what i have to do ? its my 10th time and nothing changes

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! Thank you guys. Ipad 2 gsm 5.0.1 jailbroken in less tham ten minutes!! Donate!

Tried one of the solutions on here and it worked.

Closed everything in Multitask.
Turned off my Passcode.
Turned off device and rebooted
Performed the Jailbreaking steps once more with success!!

Had the “Absinthe is now setting up, please stand-by…” by the logo and tried to go to Settings and Activate the VPN to no avail…

Thanks to all that made this possible!!!! you make our world a better place

same problem

same problem here .. i’ve tried to run it as adminstrator and XP SP3 , nothing has changed

Those are stuck on “Absinthe is now setting things up ..”

The solution is

rerun the jailbreak and follow the screen..it will ask you to disconnect the iphone and reconnect and just let it do it thing..

thats it

which one is better, Cli or Absinthe?

make sure to restart the iphone before you rerun the JB app.

Absinthe is a no-brainer.

Looks like OpenDNS content filtering was blocking something on the connection once I opened the Absinthe icon on my 4S. Changing to 3G fixed things (at least one I was having problem).

Does nothing different. Crashes. Every. Single. Time.

that is not true. if absinthe does not work cli helps u understand whts wrong or at least which step the error occured

*ALL* With a ton of errors I was getting I made a backup (as per instructions) and erased the phone (all content and settings). Afterwards, the jailbreak took.

Good luck to all and if all else fails, backup, erase, jailbreak, restore.

i tried erase settings and content and used absinthe and cli on the clean version of the ipad and both times the vpn(step 7)/ absinthe app did not work

Please helppppppppppppppppppppppp – - – Will i be able to unlock the iPhone 4S after jailbreaking it???

iOS 5.0.1 and locked to AT&T. Am not in AT&T network anymore as i am in Australia. Am not able to enjoy my handsome gadjet . . please help me to unlock it after i jailbreak it

When I press the absinthe APP, it turns white, afterwards I see the site of greenpoison, but no sign of a reboot or cydia APP.. when I reboot manually.. nothing changes.. any help?

Still won’t work. This is a joke.

when I run the absinthe app, my screen turns white, and afterwards it shows the site of green poison, but NO sign of a reboot or cydia.. any help??

me too, i erased my ipad2 about 5 times. No luck

erasing doesn’t help. Running win 7 64bit

Same ,,,

Absinthe keeps crashing when it goes to downloading jailbreak data

samee !!! anyone??!!!

more details plzzzz…..

omg… i expected a lot more trouble, but i just sat still and waited for 17 minutes for my iPad 2 to jailbreak. And it just worked!!!! Speechless. I didnt need to do shit, just perfect! Thank you guys A LOT! I’m glad i didnt try the CLI shiz cus al of the bugs.

Tried on two different iPad 2 and still got same problem, the vpn time out won’t connect, tried to wait on the stand-by screen with no luck and manual turn onn/off vpn always result to error.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING SAID HERE AND NOTHING

Cant believe how much trouble some of you are getting..ive done it with no problems and no signs of errors, cydia, installous, apps, all working as hell.
Heres a tip..i tried updating my ipad2 weeks ago on my windowz laptop, i kept getting errors, then i went to my parents computer and updated with no problems.. Maybe it isnt the device that needs to be as clean as possible (i had and still have more than 60apps installed before the jailbreak – so no restore was necessary!), try doing it on a different computer.. As i had problems updating to ios5 thru my laptop, maybe u guys have problems jailbreaking because of the computer you are on..maybe sounds silly but wort to try right?

I had the same problem of the stand by…And I fixed that unplugging the device, pluged again. The software will ask you to fix the problem. Alfter that, it will be able to install the jaibreak again. Before begin again, delete the previous absinthe program from your phone, and start the jailbreak again. It works just fine to me. PS: And i´ve made the Jailbreak without doing any backup or erase on my phone.

I tried both on my desktop PC and laptop with the same result. However, they are both Win 7 64 bit. Maybe that is why :S

Successfully Jailbroken my iPad 2 32 GB 3G. It took me about 6/7 minutes. And I got all my apps from iOS 4.3.3 back, since i backed up them all

jailbroke my phone earlier with the CLI tool, worked fine….had a few bugs e.g white icons on sceen(settings,itunes) and my pics kept had the loading symbol:|

jus restored ran this new tool

NO PROBLEMS ON BOTH MY IPHONE 4S AND MY IPAD 2 3G 32GB!!!!

THANKS FOR A GREAT AND EASY JAILBREAK

YOU ARE THE GREATEST!

fixed yet?

I’m on ios 5.0 ipad 2 windows. It says “sorry, the attached device is not recognized”

Im getting the same error. Ive tried rebooting and turning off all programs running in the background. I even ran it as admin on xp sp3 mode on my windows 7 64 bit os.

I had problems with my old 3GS like that. Turned out it was the cable. I was using a non-genuine apple aftermarket cable. I tried about 10 times to jailbreak it and it wouldn’t get past the last stage. Used my girlfriends proper apple cable and it worked first time )

I ran into that same problem with the white screen after hitting the absinthe app.
I am running iOS 5.0, iPhone 4S.
After running the jailbreak, the app appeared. I clicked on it and the screen became white and stopped loading so I rebooted the phone and tried the app again. FAIL! I deleted the app and tried the jailbreak again and it said the jailbreak failed and they would resolve it however the app was off my phone. In the process, my photos all got deleted. After waiting for a bit, and running the program once more, everything went thru as perfect. When the absinthe app showed the greenpois0n website, it rebooted after 5 seconds of seeing the website. My photos came back. My jailbreak was done!!

Just be very patient. I know we all waited very long, I mean VERY long but take ur time with it. If anyone has any questions, email me . I think I’m pretty good with jailbreaking, so just let me know

To these people having problems getting past the last stage of the jailbreak and getting errors….
I has a similar problem when jailbreaking my old 3GS. It turned out it was the data cable.
I was using a non-apple one i bought cheap on an internet auction site. I tried jailbreaking 10 times or more and it kept getting stuck on the last bit.
I then tried my girlfriends genuine apple cable and it worked first time )
Maybe the genuine cables have one more wire running through them or something lol

Thankyou and a very well done to the Dream Team D

delete it and do it again. if nothing happens during the “restore” phase its not jailbreaking it so wait like 5 minutes and try again. make sure to unplug the phone

This is broken! it does not work.

Worked 100% first time. Make sure you TURN OFF your passcode, close ALL background applications (you can check by double clicking on the home button) and then restart your device before attempting the jailbreak.

Jailbreak done on the iPhone 4S 5.0.1 (9A405) using Windows XP SP3

Same here, tried on Win7 and WinXP using both the CLI and Absinthe. In CLI it gets to the “Creating backup…” after the cinject -j and just hangs and with the Absinthe GUI it goes about 1/10 of the way in the progress bar and hangs. I’m guessing it’s hanging at the same point as the CLI. I’ve reset the iPad2 several times to no avail…anyone else seeing the same?

Tried on two different iPad 2 and still got same problem, the vpn time out won’t connect, tried to wait on the stand-by screen with no luck and manual turn onn/off vpn always result to error.

Ive tried that but no luck. im trying a different cable to see if thats the issue.

also getting the same but on vista tried at least 15 times and still getting same message. very frustrating!!!!!

excellent guide. i have jailbroken 5 iphone 4s. Bravo….. But what is the next step…?????? (i am asking about unlock)

excellent guide. i have jailbroken 5 iphone 4s. Bravo….. But what is the next step…?????? (i am asking about unlock)

you dummy, 5.01 for ipad only

My music app seems to be broken as well.

Todo súper rápido, en menos de 5 minutos quedo el asunto.

figured it out absinthe must be extracted to a clean folder then works flawlessly

I have the same problem as Ricardolange. for ipad2 on window7. I’ve tried everything you said. still didn’t work. Please help!!

I was just able to get it to work with my iPad2 running Win7 64-bit. I set the app to run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode, and whenever I would try to run it I was getting an error message popup that said, “You must run this app as Administrator”. This would happen even when I would run it from an admin rights command window, or right-click it in explorer and say “run as admin”. This seemed really odd, so I opened up the absinthe application itself in IDA Pro, found the error message was coming from within the application itself, and disassembled the code in that section to understand what it was complaining about.

The App isn’t checking to see if you have admin rights (which I had), it is actually checking to see that you *are* the local admin. Once i figured this out, I switched users to the local admin account, and it worked like a charm. Refreshing the Cydia database as I type!

yep and when its in a folder it crashes for me xD

this worked like a CHARM!!!!!!!! !!! Thank you so much Dream Team!!!! and thanks blogger for the updates!!!! DONATIOOONNSS

worked like a charm no problems at all, thanks guys for your hard work!

For all of you getting the white screen when u open up Absinith, thas because the VPN in your general settings had to of been turned off. Towards the end of the jailbreak process, it adds the private VPN to connect to So that the jailbreak data can finish it’s flow through the device.

First make sure Absinith is closed… plug your device back in and open Absinith back up.
Hit the jailbreak button and it will tell u a jailbreak attempt has been tried and it will repair the files. When the progress bar is finished, exit and reopen Absinith again (keeping your device still connected. Go to your settings, network, vpn, and turn it on. You will see a VPN already added named ‘jailbreak’ from the previous attempt. Meanwhile its going to try and connect again to the vpn after u flip the switch to ON. It will give u a fail connect error, where youll then hit the close button, not retry.

Now click on jailbreak button again and leave your device alone until the program tells you to slide your device open etc. The jailbreak DOES take more then 5 minutes – so even though it might seem as if something froze or went wrong, just leave it and it should finish jailbreaking your device completly this time around.

Did it in 5 mins.
Dream Team = LEGENDS!
A donation will definitely be winging its way in your direction guys.
Nice work D

what if it doesnt reboot after the error message

hey guys, my absinthe kept crashing, then i erased all content&settings adn it helped!

k for people who erased all content and settings and it worked great job, theres 10k comments below. no need to say it again.
there are people who have tried doing that and it still wouldnt work. all i see are repeats after repeats of the same instructions. what we want to know is after doing all possible things from the comments, why doesnt the ipad reboot after turning on vpn
cli method: got to step 7 and i got this:
http://postimage . org/image/708z07s65/
absinthe method: followed the video and screen doesnt move at the logo page. not error establishing connection, doesnt do anything.
tried turning on vpn too but nothing happens after error message

does anyone know a legit solution?

Used the MAC version. The settings icon is now all white. Anyone know what I could do to correct this issue?

Absinthe keeps crashing when preparing jailbreak data. Any suggestions? Does Itunes have to be open at the same time? And also does it have to be the newest version of Itunes? Or itunes doesn’t matter? Thanks guys.

I kept getting the “has crashed” thing after it reloaded from the boot. I finally ran it as XP SP2 and As Administrator then i put the DATA folder and absinthe.exe in a new folder. DONT PUT the EXE inside the date folder. Then ran it, and it worked perfectly.

I had a problem getting past the last step on my 4S, where it says “Absinthe is setting things up, please stand by…” seemingly forever.

Turns out this was related to VPN, as I actually used VPN for work and had some existing profiles. I deleted my profiles, which included some by Cisco AnyConnect (I deleted the profiles in AnyConnect then uninstalled it) as well as iPhone’s native VPN.

Then I reapplied the jailbreak from the beginning and it worked.

Absinthe.EXE stopped working

after almost an hour i manged to jailbeak my iphone 4s 5.0.1
the problem i got it is
…………..absinthe.exe stopped working
and this was on my win 7
what i did is i switched users i went from admin to guest user on my laptop
guess what it work smoothly
hope that helps !

mine seemed like it worked but no cydia app on my phone. tried to jailbreak again and it says in already jailbroken. any ideas???

i tunes dont have to be running, i did the long procedure with cmd.exe, works perfectly fine, just takes a it longer and you dont have to worry about the crash, im now looking on how to unlock it if anyone can help, its prob crashing cuz theres so many people using it right now you can force it by go turn your vpn on and your phone will restart then you should be good, just hit the ok button when it says something is wrong with vpn

well restore your phone ,,, use the comand prompt way, its not that hard and works well

well there is always a fix for your phone, im sure everything will work out well, i have jailbroken every iphone that was ver made and only had a few problems and most of it was my own stupid fault, dont be so worried and go for it, it does not hurt your phone, the only thing that jailbreaking does and its great, sets your phone free and allows it to do what its made for, remember it can always be fixed

using absinthe on ipad 2 and on entering the absinthe icon on the home screen its goes white then within a few seconds presents me with a message saying “absinthe is now setting things up, please stand-by…”. this goes on forever. what to do next? please help.

for all who dont know how to do it , u must back up ur data from itunes ,( rightr click ur ipad , back up) then u must restore to factory settings ,( as u first got it) then do the jailbreak .

Bam! Thanks guys, you are legends! iPad 2, 32gb wifi, jail broken this morning, first go, all good! Just gotta add sources to cydia now

nope 5.0.1 is for iphone 4s as well

I complete the jailbreak and tap on the absinthe app and it pulls up a message saying “absinthe is now setting things up, please stand by..” but nothing happens. Has anyone else had this issue?

i am also looking for unlock, will let you know when i find it

Whenever I try to turn on the VPN it keeps getting an error. You say I should retart my phone after that error?

it works turn on your vpn… settings, general, vpn

thanks a lot !
I was trying and trying and nothing until i tried this.
I appriciated

where did you store this folder: cinject_0.4.3? it must be under C:. your commend should include C:cinject_0.4.3…..

yes a lot of people have had this issue if you bothered to scroll down

yeah podler thats true, i had same issue b4, but thats not there prolem, they gotta turn on their vpn, but yes, it can be a problem for some

Ok dear fellows!!! It is strongly recomended that you RESTORE YOUR IPAD OR IPHONE IOS 5.0.1, follow the user first setting without connecting it to icloud nor positin request….then run the absinthe jailbreak and thats it…….the problem is the setting of the vpn that justa can be restored when you restore the ios completely……Try this an see that this will help!!

this does not help. tried it long time ago

same issue no idea how to fix it though

Tried (iPad2) on both Win7 and WinXP using both the CLI and Absinthe. In CLI it gets to the “Creating backup…” after the cinject -j and just hangs and with the Absinthe GUI it goes about 1/10 of the way in the progress bar and hangs. I’m guessing it’s hanging at the same point as the CLI. I’ve reset the iPad2 several times to no avail…anyone else seeing the same?

for all the people tha have problem with the absinthe crash…please try this method (at least it workd for me, since i got the same problem). only connect the usb to the ipad…so if you have any other device that connected to your usb plug…please unplug it for a moment.

SOME HELP ME IT KEEPS CRASHING AFTER REBOOT! I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING

any app that i open minimizes to about 1/4 of the screen, any ideas why?

works for me i tried with cinject didn’t work and tried with this and done in 2 min !

Worked perfect ipad 2 64gb 3g.. Will donate! Thanx guys!

back up- restore and try again, this might be a cable issue, make sure you have a good adapter cable, cean out your phone and try again

thanks worked perfect

Is anyone still having trouble with Absinthe crashing at preparing jailbreak???

I have a problem.. Every time I hit the jailbreak button i get the message “Looks like you tried to jailbreak this device and it failed. We will try recovering now.” then it says “recovery complete” and so I unplug my iPhone and replug in and it tells me the exact same thing.. anyone know of any possible solutions?

yes me

crashing at pre jailbreak too

mine too

mine too

back up ipad or iphone first, then go to settings, general, reset, erase all content and settings, then run absinthe, make sure to wait for complete reboot, when reboot has finished slide to unlock, click absinthe app n your golden.

me too

i did that and still stuck

that doesnt happen bro it gets stuck. ive done all of that ive erased it like 3 times already. it still gets stuck

About the long waiting at “absinthe is now setting things up, please stand by..” I´ve waited for almost an hour.

What i did:
1 – Disable password protect and location services
2 – Remove the icon/app Absinthe
3 – Reestart Windows
3 – Make all the process again.

Now it is working.

Hope it help.

For some reason i cant click the jailbreak button. Need help please.

I even tried the CLI one and with that one it doesnt install the profile after step five! and it also doesnt connect to the vpn

Does this delete contacts?

same problem here. restoring doesnt work either

Had done few restore earlier and just did another one from itunes with nothing on it other then the default os and apps. The same cable worked fine with itunes. Then samething again hang at the Standy by screen after it displayed the greenpoison logo. No data activity that I can see on top of the screen next to the wifi connection icon. I got a iPad 2 Wifi.

Any other ideas?

i had jailbroken my ipad 2 but when i installed sbsetting n rebooted my ipad got stuck on apple logo…. i tried to restore using itune but geting error 1602 plzzzz help
i have ipad 2 ios 5.0.1 shsh blobs saved by tinyumbrella…..
plzzz help to restore my ipad plz

yes i have this issue and people please stop telling us to restore to factory settings. it still does not work.

just disconnect it and reconnect it.

I’ve jailbreaked my ipad 2 Wifi already, everything was O.K. but suddenly, I noticed that my iMessages icon became completely white…kind of strange…
What should I do ???

I just jailbroke my 4S earlier this morning and am loving it, but it seemed to have broken my network apps

i cant get apple remote or splashtop to see my computer over my wifi network. Is anyone else having this problem?

Re-install Absinthe and restart your computer may do the fix.Restarting your Iphone too and check if the VPN configuration is still there.If you still get an error email me at for now,do as I said,and maybe run as administrator for absinthe.exe.

Does it delete contacts if I delete all data and settings?

You don’t need to use CLI.The windows release is good.Just erase all content and data on your Iphone.By going to Setting>General>Reset>Reset all Content and Settings.After you do all this run the jailbreak and it will eventually work.Be patient and all.Any questions email me at

Jailbreak works perfectly on my iPad 2. You guys rocks..!!
but i have one issue. my App store and Camera icons have gone white. Any one have any idea?

Go to Setting>General>Reset?Reset all Content and Settings.After all of that is done,redo the jailbreak and be patient.Hopefully it all works.Make sure you all have backups of you phones.And if you got any questions about anything be nice to email me at be glad to help.

I don’t think so,but make sure you back up to both your computer and icloud.

This worked for me! Thanks for the info!

Alot of apps are beginning to become white on the home screen and all.Hopefully we get a fix soon guys or an update,be paitent.Because this is the first A5 jailbreak and we need a little more time for a next update.But hopefully everyone solves their problems.But for now,either restart Iphone and all or re-do jailbreak.Reseting all content and data and re-jailbreaking seems to work for a lot of people.

Well,some say that SBSettings does crash peoples phones for now.The most you can do is put in DFU mode and restoring.If that doesn’t work for you,you have to edit your hosts file and re-do it.To see how to do this,go look it up on Youtube or something.But putting it in DFU mode might do the trick.Any questions email me at

What tufesa said might fix it.If not reinstall the whole jailbreak Absinthe.And redo the whole thing.Might do the fix .Make sure you run as administrator.

i just did this on my iphone 4s and it erase my sidi! there is no more sidi! what happen!!??

Go to your Libraries and Then to Downloads

Find the absinthe zip file and right click

Click “Properties”

Then Click UNBLOCK

Hit Apply

You’ll notice that now the icon in the window changes to the Absinthe icon. Did this and it worked perfectly. Please let me know how this fares for you all….Good luck….hope this was the true solution.

i just did this on my iphone 4s and it erase my siri! there is no more siri! what happen!!??

Then back up Iphone and restore through Itunes.Then redo the jailbreak.Make sure your also backed up through Icloud.So,see if this fixes it.Or just keep trying the resetting all settings and content way.One will work.Any questions email me at

Redo the jailbreak.That happened to me.I don’t think theres another way.Restore and redo.

Good job buddy,the perfect way to help people out hahah

Anyone with problems should back up through both computer and Icloud.And redo the jailbreak.If you have a passcode,take it off.Make sure you run as administrator.Be patient and you will see how smoothly it goes.You just have to give it another try or two.It’s a new jailbreak on a new processor.It has to have problems or some bugs,so we can make a new update.But keep’em comin’ guys.Thanks.

Whoa.I don’t know what happened there.I guess restoring and re-doing is the only option.First back up,then restore and check if Siri is there now.Then do the jailbreak all over.Or what you might have done is when you were at the welcome screen,you might have pressed not to use Siri.Theres an option if you want to use Siri or not.As well as Icloud and all that other stuff.So redo it and go through the options slowly

The solution for that has already been posted by cydiahelp. Check the previous threads

I guess that maybe for some at least,having the passcode on might be the problem.But for some it is not.So some of you may also follow this post,if it doesn’t work,follow mine.

i need help you guys. i get a little box on my computer that tells me “absinthe has stopped working” anyone else have this problem?

What do you mean by VPN.When I jailbroke mine a couple of hours ago,there was no VPN configuration account.But to remove the profile,you would have to run the CLI cinject jailbreak.Do the first step about the c-inject -i payloads/mobile.config.When you get the prompt popup,dont install it,press cancel,And,on the next screen press remove or reinstall which ever one it is.And you will see there is no more jailbreak profile for VPN.And,running the Absinthe jailbreak,it removes it also,if it finds that you already attempted a jailbreak.So,any other questions,email me at

Icloud crashed on my ipad2 after jailbreak,what is happened

Another way would be to right click on the file,and troubleshoot compatibility.Let it go and you will then run as admin and do this.This always fixes the problem for some.I hope for all lol

Right click on Absinthe and then press troubleshoot compatibility.Let it go and run as admin and it might fix your problem.Another way is to go into a different user on your computer.This might do the fix.Hope I helped :

Restart,Redo,Restore is the only ways.Follow my other posts I’m tired of writing the same stuff all over.

So good night guys follow my posts for help.Hopefully I did help for some.We will be updating soon,so stay tight.

Thanks man, ill try this.

Works perfectly. You guys rock. My heartiest wishes and thanks to all of you.

It says “sorry, the attached device is no supported” what should i do i really want to jailbreak my iPhone 4s

cydia app will not open up, can someone help please

I get an error message and Absinthe stops working and recommends I close it? Please help iPhone 4S running ios 5.0.1

it works fine to me verrrrrrrryyyyyyyy easyyyy….thanks

thanks pod2g…its really works on my iphone 4s…

Absinthe keeps crashing please help!
THANKS

same problem overhere, i even waited the whole night thinking that it would somehow change. does anyone know the deal?

Trying to Jailbreak iPad 2 5.0.1. when my device reboots, absinthe crashes PLEAE HELP

what does this mean?>> “ABSINTHE is now setting things up, please stand-bye…” it doesn’t go away at all, no matter how much you wait! can anyone tell me a solution?

Guys it worked great, less than 2 minutes to jailbreak it, really nice work . Just one advice, before doing the JB, if you already have it on 5.0.1 do a reset of everything and configure it as a new ipad. then run the tool, wait for it to finish, unlock the device, open absinthe and wait for the reboot. Then open cydia and wait for another reboot and you are ready to go.

Really nice work. Thanks a Lot

ey people with the problems with it crashing. when u download the file make sure u remove the absinthe.exe and the data folder into a fresh folder. Right click on ur desktop and create a new folder. drop them in there then try it. if it doesnt work im sorry haha

Worked perfectly, no issues at all!

Soy dominicano bruto y nuevo en esto y lo instale sin problemas por dios no se quejen tanto estos tipos son unos genios

i found the solution if u stuck on absinthe icon…….u have to restore your ipad using itunes with 5.0.1 ipsw….it works

what do you do when exract the files?

when does it crash?

does it do this after it gets half way?

This worked! Absinth kept crashing but I reset all content and settings then ran Absinthe and it worked quickly and perfectly! Then just restored to my latest backup. Thanks!

i jailbreak my ipad 2 and i install installous from cydia and whenever i search anything on installous it give me api error
i tried everything download works fine but i cant search :/ help !!!!

Your devices need to download all the packages. Be patient and wait for them to download and you will be in business

i tried jailbreaking my ipad like million times, i always end up with “ABSINTHE is now setting things up, please stand-bye…” after i open absinthe on the ipad….. any solutions?

Restore your iPad and try again

First backup then Go to Setting>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. Then run Absinthe. You can then restore to your backup. I tried running Absinth on 3 different machines and it kept crashing. Did this and it worked perfectly and quickly.

i tried 5 time before but still stuck….then i restore and everything is good for now

what tool will i use to backup my 4s using the ipsw that i downloaded?

that would be iTunes.

restore what ?

Excelente! Sin problemas desde Windows 7 x64

how will i do it in itunes? by adding ipsw in itunes?

It will not read my phone connected? HELPPPP

Im having no luck at all, Ive restored my phone atleast 3 times as well as reset the phone 3 times. Absithe keeps closing on preparing to jailbreak, I’ve also re-downloaded Absithe and reset windows, any additional steps I can take fellow iphonez/ipaderz

Just jaibroke iPad 2 everything works great, used windows version. I closed down all running apps before I started and it was done in about 5 minutes.
Thanks!

Yes it does. I tried more than once

i try cannot work ipad2 wifi 3g..any people help me

its says absinthe.exe has stopped working

how long should it say “ABSINTHE is now setting things up, please stand-by…” ?? for the ipad 2

app will not show up at the end saying to unlock screen and tap on “jailbreak”. why is this ?!

Guys if you have tried the erasing all setting and content, then restore ur IOS to 5.0.1 using itunes, and do the absinthe jailbreak step by step again! it will definately work! like so everyone can see this

yes me too… tried 3 times

Good job!well done !!appreciate all of your hardwork!

it worked!!!!! thank you

finally, after hundred tries, my ipad is jailbroken

I went to troubleshoot it and mines says Incompatible Application?!?!?!

I’ve tried maybe ten times.. I’ve reset my iPhone 4s and the computer, turned the firewall off, reseted the network, made sure VPN was OFF.. And it still just sits there saying its jailbreaking bug nothing works.. Waited for 20 mins and nothing

Ok ppl I did not have to erase content and reset my settings on my IPHONE 4S. ABSINTHE and the other folder DATA have to be consolidated somewhere in a NEW FOLDER and then run it and voila should work! I’m running IOS 5.0.1 Verizon 16GB

im having trouble doing it on windows, it always gets to ‘jailbreak data…’ and then windows says there’s a problem and needs to shut Absinthe down…help?

Make sure ABSINTHE along with DATA folder are open with WINZIP or a ZIP program and highlight and DRAG to a NEW FOLDER.. It should say extracting and open remember to close all your APPS running on your phone. and turn off LOCATION SERVICES. RUN as ADMINISTRATOR and make sure TROUBLESHOOT COMPATIBILITY

please help me..

I dragged both files to a new folder i created. it didn’t say extracting though…i turned off all apps, location services, ran it in admin on the computer too and still came up with the ‘Absinthe stopped working’ stuff again…
what do you mean by troubleshoot compat? sorry, new to this

I am launch Absinthe, but bot worked. Absienthe is now setting thigs up, please stand-by

Aserr86
stop trying to cofuse people u little fool..

Well I have tried everything for my iPad and it is still not working. I tried the Reset all erracing all settings and content and still no luck. tried restoring the iPad and still no luck. Always the program crashes when about 60% complete.
I have the iPad 2 WiFi 16GB and the laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium. Also tried on the other computer running Windows Vista.
Guess I will just have to wait until all the bugs are worked out.

worked just fine the first time!! It may take a while but don’t worry –> it works
thanks all of you, you did a great job

thanx thanx thanx thanx it works for me 1st time on iphone 4s

Same problem here, followed all orders that are mentioned below for my Ipad2
Absinthe stays stuck at 1/4 of progress and eventually crashes after 5minutes. Tried it on my windows computer and same problem.

Does not work buddy.

If you are stuck on “setting things up, please stand-by”. Go to Settings > Network > VPN “ON”. You will get an error, reboot then run Absinthe again.

Right click on Absinthe and troubleshoot compatibility

Im not!! those are the steps I took and it worked!

On both windows and mac says, beginning Jailbreak please wait, may take a while. Doesnt go past that. Turned on VPN, same problem .

WOW! That was easy. Thank you soooo much, just followed the GUI and done. Thank you for all your hard work.

I just tried, got stuck on setting things up, did the VPN thing, manual reboot, Absinth still not working, re-ran on PC Win 7, it said it failed and will fix now, re-jailbroke, ran Absinth on iPhone 4s 16gb for second time, worked in 30 seconds.

I’ve done everything everyone has said to do and it still just sits there not loading the jailbreak… How long did it take for iPhone 4s users???

my iphone is still locked with at&t even after jail break it shows invalid sim and asks for activation ios5.0

I have the same issue.. Please help if you figure it out!

OK, got it to work and it was my fault I was having all the problems. You need to be sure you extract the program and the data files in the same folder and then do the jailbreak and it worked perfect.
Thanks guys, loving it and sorry for all the comments (none nasty) about it not working. It was just my brain not working.

Did everything over, reboot, vpn, nothing…I feel like im being trolled

how to carrier unlock it after jailbreak guys pleaaaaaaaase help

Is anyone having trouble adding sources on Cydia? I keep getting verification error.

Thanks! Disabling LOCATION SERVICES and RAN as ADMIN did the trick.

Keeps getting stuck at ‘Beginning jailbreak’ even after I reset all contents and settings! Any ideas? Tried moving all in new folder, location services off, no passcode!

must the ipad be connected to wifi wen loading absinthe? help, im on 3g and nothing happens, stand-by 4ever now

sir are there no untethered jailbreak for iphone 4 4.3.5 or 5.0.1 yet? thanks

how long does the ‘ABSINTHE is now setting things up, please stand by…’ take? Its taking forever!

at last, made it on my ipad.. thanks!

Finaly! After one day I’m have jailbroken iPad! Thank you Dev TEAM! You’re the best! Thank’s from Russia!

I’am restart jailbreak!

Can’t start the program. It keeps telling me “You must run this app as Administrator”. But I actually right clicked absinthe.exe and chose “Run as administrator”. I have also tried any possible compatibility mode, without success.
Always the error, even though I do chose to run as admin……

works fine on my 4s and Ipad2, but i just notice that some of the icon turns white and you need to respring to make it back to normal icon.

Really need the Ipsw file? Or no need because the cli jailbreak doesn’t require any Ipsw

how many of u guys are on 5.0 and not on 5.0.1?? what i think is that this jailbreak only works on iso 5.0.1 and not on the very first firmware that is only 5.0…

nvmmmmmmmm, finally i got it to work the thing is that you have to extract both the data file and the absinthe file to a new folder and it should work. i have been trying all morning and now it finally worked!!!! the problem was that i never extracted all the files correctly!!! please try extracting all the files to a new folder and doing the process! hope this helps, if it works email me at

and if that doesnt work?

And one more thing i never had to erase all my data! well the thing is that before the jailbreak was not working so i erased everything and tried to do it but it still didnt work so then i just almost gave up and i restored everything back to my iphone but then i read a comment that said to extract all files to a new folder and i tried it and it worked!!

It worked fine, except I lost my vibrate and my keyboard clicks sounds after the jailbreak. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Its at the almost done screen but no new app any ideas why?

Yes me too and installous keeps crashing on downloads

Thx all i just jailbreak my ipad2 16 wifi ios 5.0.1 for less than 15 minutes

I also had to restore before it would work. Takes a hell of a long time as all the apps and music have to re-load. Would have been nice if it had “just worked” but not complaining…I guess…

yes i am

I had to restore and then it worked as described.

alhamduLILLAH, i jailbroke my ipad 2 16gb 3g version successfully…erased all data n setting first then run absinthe – jailbroke…no problem….cydia running, now just need to see how it works after jailbreaking hope it all goes well inshaALLAH.

dont extract the file from the zip folder.. double click the absinthe.exe.. i just jb 4 ipad2 for my friends and did not encounter any problem

Never mind. Discovered sounds/vibrate was off using my hands free control tweak

I have a problem. When i start “beginnig jailbreak, this may take a while……”
The process stopt. The blue bar stopt….it don’t goes further. I have an ipad 2 ios 5.01.
Help me please.

worked fine for me just cydia errors with repos

Does anybody know why it wont show me the app on my iphone 4s is says it should be there but nothing

My ipad 2 stuck on the apple logo when reboot after the jailbreaking, pls help???

Thank You Guys So Much.

It is work! i am appreciated! my ipad2 now jailbreked

same problem

Some one try his iPhone 4S white Absinthe for Windows jailbreak? Are jou having problems whit it or not?

HELP

everytime I start the program it gets to a certain point it says greenpoison.exe has stopped working, I have changed from win 7, to xp, win 98, win 95 ect but i still get the message, is there a fix for this, i have also tried different ports on the laptop

has anyone else had this problem

Got the jailbreak to work on my iPad 2 WiFi (thank you for that) now when syncing the iPad I noticed that none of my books will sync and transfer to the iPad. Anyone else having this problem? If so, any ideas how to colve it? Thanks

yes there is, google redsn0w or even google dev team blog and got to their site for detailed info

stack on program has stopd workin win is lookin for solution???? is there a fix for this?? please help 4s

me too… i take about an hour,but nothing happen..please give the bless GOD,AMINNN!!

Here the same.
All my books are gone. I can`t transfer them back.

Fixed my issue by using ANOTHER COMPUTER. Whoever is facing this issue, try switching to another computer. If you don’t have one around, try switching user. Even better if you have a dual boot PC. Don’t worry if iTunes pops up just close it, you DON’T NEED to setup the iPad. Close iTunes, download Absinthe and follow the said steps.

Ok, if like me you just extracted the absinthe gree poison like you would have with the old gree poison it does not work, just make new folder and extract both absinthe exe and data into it, then open this folder with both in it and it will work, I did turn off location services and closed all running apps as well by the way and you can leave your phone on by the way, hope this is a clear guide for everyone! Happy JB!

sure about the problem, I tried 3 different computers Win7, Vista and XP, stop for the win stopped working, Vista, Win XP, and certainly indicate errors and wants to quit.

I finally got mine in the iPad. I had to turn off the Sync Selected Book and change it to Select all. For some reason that worked for me. Hope this helps.

These guys have done a great job, just restore you Iphone to its factory settings, by that i mean erase all content and settings, then start the jailbreak process, it tooke about 10 min for me for the whole process. just checked everything on my iphone and it is FULLY FUNCTIONING! even Siri

PS ThanX LOTS and LOTS Dev-Team!

Log in as local admin

its writing that absinthe has stopped working.

Hey guys my iPad 2 is still beginning the jb and has been on it for bout 15 mins…how long does it usually take to start?

i open absinthe it says absinthe is now setting things up, please wait….

what i need do?

same question here

can somone just post how to fix this crashing issue been on this since 7 this morning

I had same problem, like I explained in my post, you have to extract both the absinthe exe and the data into a ‘new folder’ then try and it will work!

If I reset will it work?

I’m not sure if I got it to work by mere chance, but it was doing that for me too until I downloaded the Chronic-Dev Crash Reporter and kept it running. I was actually going to report the crash but it helped for some odd reason! Try it?

On top of what I mentioned below, I also extracted all files to a new folder.

absinthe is now setting things up please standby for like half an hour

what to do

Me Too!

plz help and reply and vpn doesnt work

Fixed error in windows install… (Iphone 4s 5.01 9a406)
Instead of clicking the absinthe icon on your iphone, go directly to settings and toggle vpn switch under settings>general>network. It rebooted itself within 5 secs after I toggled the VPN, with cydia icon now showing. Never even touched the absinthe icon.

(I did a restore to non-jailbreak backup, then did the jailbreak with the vpn toggle..whole restore and jailbreak took less than 10 minutes)

nothing happened just says a configuration error occured

just says a configuration error occured

and just press ok

Seriously please help , ever one getting message Absinthe stop working !!! I have tried all compatibility options on my ipad 2 even I have disable my virus scanning program + fire wall. Any help, I have window 7

My solution for the “Absinthe is now setting up things….” problem:
On restart, my lockscreen appeared;
in spite of the instruction NOT to touch my iPad2 yet, I unlocked the iPad while it was still uploading jailbreak data.
I noticed it now took about a minute or so to finish uploading jailbreak data, as where it first was done after a few seconds.
Then, finishing the proces by tapping the GreenPoison icon, it did NOT get stuck on the “ABSINTHE is now setting up things..” screen anymore.
I am now jailbroken.

Many kudos to the Greenpoison team !!!

I am allmost giving up:( The problem here is that the .exe crased the first time.
During mij 2nd attempt it says something like: “Look’s like you attempted to jailbreak before, but didn’t succeed. We’ll now try to fix it. Recovery completen. Unplug your device and plug it back in to start jailbreaking”.

Well, since the first time i see this tekst i’ts looping.
I plug my iPad back in, press jailbreak and it says: “Looks like u attempted before………..”
Feels like Groudhog day and i really don’t know what to do ?

Can anybody please help me? I am allmost at the point of putting the thing back to factory default, but reading your comments is it not very likely that is gonna work then.

What’s the difference with that CLI tool ?

Make sure when you unzip the JB both Data and the exe are extracted to the same folder on desktop, then JB.

Does it Unlock IPhone 4s ?!

or is there another way to unlock it ?!

worked perfect for me

i done the vpn toggle

moved dat and .exe to a new folder still keeps crashing…..

done that but my absin still keeps crashing??

i found the error “Absinthe is now setting up things” and just hanging there was caused by me unplugging the cable when it said done, now click the icon.

just make sure that when it says click on the absinth icon that you leave the ipad or iphone plugged in to the computer, otherwise when you click on the icon it will just hang on a black screen with the absinth pic and wont do anything else!!

My mail icon have disappeard after jailbreak. Anyone know how to fix this?????

i clicked on the Absinthe Icon and it says ” ABSINTHE is now setting things up.please stand-by…” and i waited for like more than 5 min and it stills the same. should i do something Like opening the VPN or anything it helps to jailbreak my Iphone 4s… Please answer me as soon as possible.

“Look’s like you attempted to jailbreak before, but didn’t succeed. We’ll now try to fix it. Recovery completen. Unplug your device and plug it back in to start jailbreaking”.

hi all, how to solve this problem??

Big thanks to the dev’s. up and running on ipad2 wifi in less than 5 mins. Didnt have to restore either! Cheers

I have jailbreak my iPad 2 but iBook and. Any app from apple app store on my iPad is not working

UPDATE: Nothing worked for me. Finally i restored to factory default. Run the program and it works !!!

Did you found a solution to unlock Iphone 4s. I did jailbreack successfully, but it is not unlocked. i thought it does automatically.

cheers worked first time that way. please go to the top of the class..

Ok, if like me you just extracted the absinthe gree poison like you would have with the old gree poison it does not work, just make new folder and extract both absinthe exe and data into it, then open this folder with both in it and it will work, I did turn off location services and closed all running apps as well by the way and you can leave your phone on by the way, hope this is a clear guide for everyone! Happy JB!

thank Alijoyce for that one…..

happened to me too i dont know what to do

I seem to be stuck on “ABISINTHE is now setting up, please stand-by…”

Also tried “Settings>General>Network>VPN”and then toggled the VPN on. I got the message “VPN Connection A configuration error occurred”

Any suggestions?

I get about 5 minutes in and a windows screen pops up saying it detected a problem. Any ideas yet on what this is all about? Thanks in advance…

Spasibo

I am Free at last

Worked well. Did not bother with the backup.

1. Connected mu imprisoned iPad 2
2. Pressed the jailbreak icon and let it run
3. After a while it completed its op.
4. I pressed the green skull and it downloaded more data.
5. Finally the green skull was replaced with the Cydia icon.
6. I pressed it and it did anther download and reboot.

The only confusing past was that the first app sought of reset and looked ready to run again. DO NOT Hit the start button on the PC a second time. Not needed. (It could use a job end flash screen instead of re-displaying the initial screen ready)

But overall I am happy. Now I can fall in love with my iPad 2 again. I nearly sold it to by a Sumsung. I want flash, multitasking and access to me data files.

Thanks guys job well done.

Have found Solution just install installous. After installous have rebooted it’s back to normal

extract All absinthe files to a new folder then jailbreak again

when i plug my ipad 2 the jailbreak is still unclickable

any suggestions?

synced with itunes and then ran absinthe with zero problems. i had my phone jailbroken in less than 2 minutes.

i stuck on opening cydia… it didnt open when i press on it please help, any genius around

I did my jailbreak with the command line version for windows much easier for me but I do have to tell u that you absolutely need to back your phone up and restore it to a new phone but use your current apple ID. Just do not restore from I tunes or I cloud. U have to skip that part and use ur phone like it was fresh out of the box. After performing the jailbreak u can restore to the backup u just did and cydia will still be on ur phone as well as all your contacts, apps, etc. hope this helps

works like a charm!! thank you so much

SKYPE stopped working after while on JB iPad2-32gb-wifi

Everyone u must restore to factory settings and do not back up from I cloud or I tunes. U can still use your old apple ID but skip the backup restore part. That’s why u must back up before jail breaking. After cydia is installed u can restore all your contacts and apps from I tunes backup without losing cydia. It was so much easier to do it on the windows command line software but it will work the same with the absinthe download that just came out. Again backup and restore to factory settings and BAMM u have a jailbroken A5 device. Hope this helps love the jailbreak dev team!!!

I was able to jailbreak my iphone 4s but I have the same issue of not being able to unlock it…

RESTORE TO FACTORY SETTINGS AND THEN PERFORM THE JAILBREAK IT WILL WORK!!!!

thanks for your reply super saiyan… i think my ipad2 is jailbroken.. the only thing is i cant open the cydia. I used the windows absinthe method. I followed everything unless at the last step, i click on the greenpoison icon which make my jailbreak incomplete i think. The worst part is when i restore it to the previous backup copy. The cydia is still there, remained unopen. real pissed off!!

My iphone is jailbroken and Cydia works, but when i want to install games there is problem with sync and games can´t by installed. What´s the problem ? Does anybody know ?

I tried for almost 30 minutes and kept getting an error or ABISNTHE would shut down.
My problem was I moved the exe file to my desktop but not the data file. I made a folder on my desktop and moved both folders into it and then tried with success.

@Alijoyce you sir are a hero did loads of tries yesterday and what you said worked. i duno why i didnt think of it myself because with recboot to restore older A4 devices to unsigned earlier firmware was the same all the data had to stay together in a folder or it would not work. thanks again. if anyone else stuck were it crashes after reboot extract data and absinthe.exe into a folder on your desk top (tip make folder first) then run the absinthe.exe from there and you will have a successful jail break happy days.

I have just had to restore to factory default in order to use Absinthe for Windows. Prior to factory restore Absinthe hung on the “Beginning Jailbreak, may take a while…” screen.

absinthe stays on ‘is now setting thing up’ and doesn’t move.

did you extract data and absinthe.exe to same folder? 4s+cydia = happy days

after jail break my 4s battery drain has been a lot

Thanx! It work on 4S with Windows 7. Make sure that code lock is off.

am also jailbreaking concurrently, n having d sam problem let me know if it finishes soon

hey thanks… been trying for 2 strait days! this worked

took me 9 minutes, follow this video and it will jailbreak no problem. i did it first time, and it worked flawlessly, please stop getting mad because you did not follow instructions. o btw my pc is from 2004. and i did this 5 minutes after waking up this morning. its very easy, good luck and enjoy!!!

In the process of kjailbreaking my iPhone 4s windows says greeenpoision not reponding I have tried it twice and had the same problem anyone know what is causing this

I have the same problem let me know if it works for you

@immy make sure you have extracted both parts to a new folder on your desc top disable passcode lock from settings and try it again

I had same problem, just reset all your settings, and rod, I did this twice and it finally worked…

Use the CLI. It is 100 times faster to JB. Screw the Windows and Mac

I hope this helps someone. Some of these steps have been mentioned before but because it took me nearly 6 hours and a buttload of frustration, I figured if this helps one person, its worth it.

Im on Windows. Iphone 4S running 5.0.1
Everything would run smoothly until the program got to the “loading jailbreak data” the progress bar would get about 75% done then Windows would tell me the program stopped responding and it would crash. This went on for several hours. Here’s what eventually worked for me.

1. backup your phone to itunes
2. do a full restore and as you begin the set up on your device DO NOT turn on any location services, no icloud, no wifi, dont sign in w/ your apple ID, just bypass all of these things.
3. Locate Absinthe zipped file, right click, properties, there will be an option at the bottom to “unblock” check that. Apply. Then move Absinthe tool to its own folder (create a new folder somewhere and extract both the data and absinthe files to it)
4. launch Absinthe but first right click- properties- compatibility- there should be a drop down of options, pick the correct pack for your Windows OS. Apply. Right click “run as admin”
5. Start the program
6. plug in phone
7. Press the jailbreak button
8. Cross your fingers, pray, ect
9. Profit…????
10. If you got to step 9, you now should be dancing around and yelling obscenities out of joy. Enjoy your FINALLY jailbroken device

its taken me 15mins for this thing to jailbreak. i pressed the jailbreak button and its been 15mins and my phone keeps on beeping every now and then. whats the issue? should i just do it manually? im getting frustrated

After trying for 3 1/2 hours….I finally read other comments and it worked!

1: restore to factory settings
2: jailbreak
3: complete VPN in settings/network

Now I have to see if everything works!

Bing GO! Many thz to Mr. Ahmed Omar and his Team My Ipad 2 GSM is work very fine after jailbreak. But when I jailbreak it, I used original cable of ipad but I didn’t try other cable . How ever I still wish the unlock bb 4.11.08 for Iphone 4 coming either.
Thz again and wish you all got all best wishes in this Chinese New Years! Lolz

It took two try’s on my iPad2 and it now works. Thanks guys, your the greatest.

Does anyone know how to get safari download plugin or manager to work on 5.0.1. I got the 4s and it fails to download stuff, and the manager just makes safari crash immediately ?

Scroll down the page, read a ill bit, maybe you’ll figure it out.

Wow, screw windows n Mac, haha. What u think CLI runs in? Smart guy.

Backup, restore to factory, jailbreak, restoreee to previous device, done.

IPAD2 on the right version but Win7 just keeps saying Absinthe has crashed and thats as far as I go. Any ideas

Everyone that this works for has had the smame solution. Scrol up or down

Download another absinthe 0.2

This jailbreak is Not for the illiterate. Sorry.

bullshit

It gets to where it is preparing the jailbreak then there is an error.. I’m trying very thing over again and took off the firewall and lets see what happens..

DOESNT WORK, STUCK ON BEGINNING JAILBREAK, THIS MAY TAKE AWHILE……………, ITS BEEN 3 HOURS, HELP !!!!!!

i did exactly like u said and the program keeps shutting down

Backup, restore to factory, jailbreak, restore to previous device, done.

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP IT GETS STUCK ON PREPARING JAILBREAK DATA THE WINDOWS SAY “absinthe.exe has stopped working” TRYING TO JAILBREAK IPAD 2 5.0.1 PLEASE HELP

Backup, restore to factory, jailbreak, restore to previous device, done.

U might need to start from scratch. Fresh restore and new absinthe.

Worked for me! I turned off the firewall, resored my phone to factory settings, turned off location services and did not enter my apple id and it jail broke just fine.. Does anyone know if I restore it back to my back up I will lose my jailbreak?

ok ill try that now

U’ll be fine when restoring Ur device.

Please help me, it says Loading Jailbreak Data and then it just says Absinthe.exe has stopped working I re downloaded it bu that did not help. Please help me.

Good luck, just make sure u wait for the full reboot

Im having the same issue as you

My iTunes downloads seem to not work.
I downloaded the mac version of the Jailbreak.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

My prime idea is to delete them, then redownload but if it’s an internal error then would a re-jailbreak be in order?

pls iam unable to jailbreak my ipad2 64gb 3g ios5.1 from windows because everytime the programme endup as low memory on the disk c am a medicalstudent i dont know how to use command prompt pls give me a solution

I didn’t upgrade iTunes I don’t think u really need to. It posted just to make sure u have an iTunes

I followed exactly what u and it didnt work

Thank you! =D

The jailbreak took me 10-15 minutes on my iPhone 4S. After being recommended to update to 5.0.1 i did that but I now I can’t install any “apps” since it keeps telling my I “perhaps need a new source”.

What does that mean?

is anyone having issues with cydia? seems like it cant update any sources and cant download any packages… helllllllp!??!?!

I see but my question is that if once you already have jailbroken your iPhone did you experience any difficulties with your purchased iTunes Music/Tones? Because mine won’t play.

Wow way to many issues. Im gonna wait till they fix the errors before i attempt to do mine. Ill wait till they release a redsnow jailbreak for the 4s. Its like everything else when they first come out theres always an issue. U gotta give it time to het worked out

have downloaded and worked a treat thank you just need to know how to set cydia up for the free downloads, do i need to install anything??

honestly no. have you tried to install hackulo repo and install installous.

i reseted settings 5 or 6 times, but it doesn’t work!damn

I believe this is a one shot deal. If you have tried to jailbreak and it didn’t work the first time you need to restore to factory again. Don’t quote me on it.

I have done everything right, i turned off my passcode, downloaded absinthe, ran it it gave me the 10% problem, so i canceled the jailbreak, and now when i try it says “you have attempted to jailbreak this and it failed, restoring… unplug and try again” when i do this it says the same damn thing, someone help me

google for that 1 i think thats a lil to much info to post on here

I jb’d fine. Now the only issue is the music icon is blank. Any ideas

i had the same issue a few times, i powered my phone down then started all over again and worded first time

right now i am restoring to try and fix it, if this does not work then im going be pissed

I tried that first, didnt work

Same thing happened to me. Crashed the first time and now I’m stuck in the same loop. Would love to see a fix to this!

I’m having problems with cydia it keeps giving me an error possix and other stuff it will take forever to load up packages and won’t download nothing because of all the errors can any one help please..

I used absinthe to jailbreak and worked perfectly. However, after jailbreaking when I clicked on absinthe, it simply loads the black page with absinthe logo and the message “ABSINTHE is now setting things up, please stand by…” It has been like it for the past 20 minutes. Any ideas?

BigPimpin please help.

I have the same problem!

did you wait for absinthe to say sumthing like, ” you may have to slide to unlock” after it rebooted. (absinthe as in the desktop program)

Nothing as such was asked after reboot.

I used absinthe last night. Worked perfectly. This morning I restart my phone, Cydia won’t load. I connect to my cpu and restart my phone and now Cydia loads up perfectly. Looks like I have a semi-tethered jailbreak going on here. Anyone else have similar issues?

posix is normal, been happening before A5 devices, it does take awhile to load the repos from what i noticed

restore to factory again, must wait for complete reboot to finish.

funny i woke up n my cydia n mail icons were white. went into cydia , changes and did refresh n everything was fine.

this was my experiance with the jailbreak process. ran absinthe from my desktop part of the way through the jailbreak i got the exe file error which alot of people r getting!! after reading the post on here i took the advice n MADE A NEW FILE CALLED IT ABSINTHE, DELETED THE OLD ABSINTHE, MOVED THE RAR FILE ABSINTHE INTO THE NEW FOLDER ON MY DESKTOP, THEN RIGHT CLICKED N PRESSED EXTRACT HERE, u should have a data folder n the absinthe icon. n run the program as administrator from inside the folder u made n thats what worked for me a big thank u to the guys who posted the fix o n sorry for the caps i did it so it was easier to read pls forgive lol cheers

within the absinthe desktop program, when full reboot is complete it will say slide to unlock if needed, then from there you will run the absinthe app. if you didnt wait for a similar message in the desktop prog. then jailbreak was not complete and you ran the absinthe app to early.

Update iTunes. I had the same problem

I followed your instructions to a tee and it worked. Thanks for your help.

help ive d,loaded absinth whn i run it i plug in my 4s and it comes up with device not supporterd have re dloaded it and tried again and absinthe still says the same thing

I have the same problem… My ipad2 is jailbroken and i cant do anything with it. Cant add sources… erros :possix etc… annoying

did u update to 5.0.1

easy fix just close abisinthe on mobile app from app switcher but still connected to computer and relaunch abisinthe from device shouldd fix

yeah 5.0.1 (9A405)

worked perfect for me

Repeated the whole process again but of no use. Any other thoughts?

i had this 2 make sure u refresh cydia sources first

if this doesnt fix write down one of the sources and delete it

then readd that source after refreshing sources should fix

I had this problem too, I had updated 5.0 to 5.01 “Over The Air” because doing it through itunes gave me error and did not work. So I suspected that might have to do with this. I backuped up my iphone, restored to factory and loaded backup, used absinthe windows version again and this time I finally got pass this error.

did u try to unplug ur 4s run absinthe then plug device in

it work !!!! thanks how do get it unlock ???

this seems to be a pc issue try running as administrator by tight cling abisinthe and properties compatibility and run as afministrator

if it doesnt fix restar computer try above step

if that doesnt work try doing it while computer is in safe mode

possibly ultrasn0w in cydia

Thanks Sarkmatter. Still the same persists.

note by turning off sori before doing the jailbreak should make siri work after jailbreak is done

i got it done with my ipad 2 3g 5.0.1 after 4 times try. last one done with my ipad already erase all setting and content. But i think the problem is not from that, the only thing make it work is i have to plug usb ipad cable direct to usb on the pc without using any extention usb cable as i did with few privious error try.

easy fix just close abisinthe from app switcher while phone still connected to pc then restart abisinthe and wait should fix

note just minizing abisinthe is not good enough double click home button and close out of memory

good luck

it worked 3rd attempt didnt have to restore thanx anyway

im posting the whole step by step video on youtube in a lil bit

good job

tried it again and it works. Just keep on trying it will work.
Thank you again guys you are fantastic…

Thanks. How do I find it in youtube?

yeah and still get the same reply

restore to factory settings general reset erase all contents and settings redownload abisinthe straight to desktop unZip to desktop using winrar run abisinthe by right clicking properties run as administrator and then begin jailbreak wait till the bar fully gills once and then u should notic abisinthe on your device start it and if it takes 2 long like 5 mins on setting things up do not close anisinthe on pc just close on device from app switcher and restart abisinthe it should fix remember always keep device connected to pc with abisinthe on pc running

thats a trip. urs is a new issue, maybe a new absinthe download

imma post the like as soon as its done

no cydia? ( I followed everything correctly, and everything looked good) should i restore and do it again?

ok will try a new absinthe dload and let you know

FOR ALL THOSE WHO FACE NO REBOOT AFTER VPN ERROR:
I was having the same error as a lot of other people. I was stuck at absinthe is now setting up things blah blah and after i turned vpn on and got the error, my ipad would just sit there. i couldn’t JB through the CLI either, because that depends on a restart after the vpn error shows up too.
Anyway, after trying everything else, i did a SHIFT+RESTORE through itunes(i’m on windows). i restored my iOS 5.0.1 afresh, because erasing all data and settings through the settings menu on the ipad didnt work (i did it about 5 times). anyway after the fresh restore through itunes, i used the absinthe gui. after it was done, instead of clicking on absinthe, i went to settings and turned vpn on. i got the error but then wonder of wonders, the device rebooted. i am now on a JB ipad2 and running cydia
i know a fresh restore through itunes is not an attractive option, but if all else fails, it might work for some of you; just like it worked for me

Completed Jailbreak but when I click on Cydia it doesn’t open… Any suggestion? I have about iPhone 4s with about 9 gigs filled. I jailbroke the phone then restored from icloud and Cydia now does not open…

have done it and still no joy im following every instruction to the letter

To All who have the problem where absinthe constantly crashes when jailbreaking. Do the following: extract all absinthe files to a new folder then jailbreak again.

hi. i have jailbreaked ipad2, but i cant install apps. allways failed to install.
i tryed to restore and jailbreaked second time, but it didnt helped.
any minds?

Completed Jailbreak, it works, but now i lost my Cydia Icon???

I have down loaded absinthe but when I plug my phone in the “jailbreak” button does not highlight for me to click – any help would be appreciated.

The most easiest jail break so far
many thanks for this jail break, donations will be made
Keep up the good work
Warwick

did the unlock work?

STUCK ON BEGINNING JAILBREAK, THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE

I HAVE IPAD 2 WIFI 16GB!!!!!

You don’t loose any thing after jail break
Desktop and apps will still be there after jail break

i cant get past beginning jailbreak absinthe program freezes

I’ve restore it three times (reset contents and network settings) and finally using the absinthe to jailbreak it using an XP machine. Sounds better to 32-bit machine. I have everything working as usual right before the JB.

It says that the program has stopped working. It seems like i have tried all my computers and there usbs. And when i try to turn my vpn on my phone it already has jailbreak there but it woulnt let me turn it on. Help me please.

same happend to me m8. you have to put the data folder on the desktop with the exe…. Disable your firewall should work m8

my jailbreak did not work when i downloaded the ipad2 5.0.1 restore file from this website .

after i restore using itunes ( itunes will download the 5.0.1 ) the jailbreak worked alrdy.

So I’ve downloaded it with windows on my ipad2 using absinthe only thing is now when i try and add a source it will not work ?? When I type in installous all I get is the installous hd theme ,anybody no what could be wrong as I’m sure it’s only minor

My as well, it appear error MSG…the instruction at xxxxxxxx reference memory at xxxxxxx.the memory could not be read…
What is this?

my jailbreak worked perfectly well. but now my phone is saying i have no service and i keep rebooting and respringing but nothing works im at my house and i always have service and everyone else has service except for me. itll come back for a period of a few seconds then go away. HOW DO I FIX THIS PLEASE I NEED HELP

Go to settings >network >then disable data and voice roaming and then enable them. That will help you. It worked for me.

Bookmark tabs on safari no longer work and all itune songs purchased before the jailbreak won’t play

how do i get free apps on appstore after jailbreak?

Jailbreak worked perfectly until up to the point of using Installous, but now whenever I download an app from installous white icons appear on my springboard i.e. “iOS Diagnostics” “FieldTest” Any help with fixing this?

It’s been 15mins, and they’re still setting things up. Is it normal?

glad it worked for you!

i forgot that part, i did disable siri as well! and after the jb it worked fine =)

you did a complete restore and set up as a new phone? didnt activate ANYTHING, no location services, no siri, no wifi, nothing?

Jailbreak worked.. But my message icon turned to white color??!!! Rebotted my phone few times, but Nothing works. How to fix this pls??

pls donate something to the guys that made this jailbreak posible

When you get at the “almost done” step on absinthe, don’t close it on windows or disconnect your device. At this point on your device, turn VPN on. When I did that with my ipad2 it rebooted immediatelly, and when it came back, cydia was already there. If it didnt reboot by itself, then open absinthe on your device. The only problem I am experiencing is that neither facetime nor imessages are working, I’m connected to wi-fi but my device keeps telling me that my apple id session can’t be started and there’s network problems. Are there anyone facing such issue? Does anyone know if this is jailbreak-related?

That happens. I just use SBSettings to respring and they go away

it would have been nice if this was in the original fuckin instructions instead of having everyone try this shit and have it get stuck, crash, and try to find a solution. update the instructions for ALL windows versions not just windows in general. win7 32 and 64 bit will be different than winxp.

I got it on using win vista64 on my girls laptop … now before I go and sync it again i am not sure how you guys are restoring from a backup to get your phone back to the way it was, without losing cydia?

basically I went into settings and hit erase all content and settings, then jailbroke it fine. But now i want to put my apps and numbers back on the phone to make it mine again but i am sure it is going to erase cydia when i restore from backup.

ANY HELP?

Is it possible to jailbreak unlocked iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0? iPhone is locked to overseas carrier. I tried absinthe (absinthe-win-0.2.zip) on windows xp sp3. The screen stays on “Beginning jailbreak, this may take a while..” for more than an hour and nothing happened.

This jailbreak seems to me at least to be the best that has come along in quite some time. Boot time is much improved over the last one. It seems pretty flawless. I would suggest to anyone who is having issues to just restore and do it again. I did 4 devices and haven’t had any issues at all.

My iPhone 4s is jail broken but it still carrier locked please anybody help me

Worked perfect…
DO A FACTORY RESTORE FIRST..
THEN JAILBREAK..
THEN RESTORE YOUR BACKUP..
FLAWLESS

I had an iPhone 4s, iOS 5.0.1. Worked perfectly well for me. Running windows 7. The only thing I did: in Absinthe file properties set it to run in compatibility mode with Win XP SP3 and run as Administrator. Didn’t do any phone restore to factory settings – jailbroke it as is. Had no issues at all. The process took me about 10 mins. Had no issues after jailbreak either. Works great!!

Pls someone help to carrier unlock my 4s is already jailbroken

Hello:

I’ve successfully jailbroke my ipad2 with my Windows XP, but I have an issue: the music doesn’t play. The albums and songs appear in the library, but when I try to play them, the player doesn’s do anything. The song progress bar doesn’t move. I can move it manually, but the play doesn’t work.

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Just respring with sbsettings an it will be fine.

pls greenpoison absinthe is stop working at midle of process.
what can I do????

Folks,

We all have the exact equipment, Iphone 4s, and IPad 2, most of us have this running, no problems, or had very, very little problems. Many of the questions here are really stupid, the only differentiator is that you may different settings and programs set up on your device. Therefore, if you continue to have problems, suck it up, reset your freaking device to factory settings and then jailbreak it, this will work 99.9% of the time, the other .1% you are just plain stupid. How bad do you want it???? YOu can reinstall all of you other crap later…..sheesh, this isnt rocket science…..

what worked for me.Cause i had problems installing. Disable the passwork on the phone and it will work flawless.

When trying to jailbreak its get all the way past the reboot phase and then i get a message saying that absinthe has quit working I have to close it out and try again. I’ve done it several times with same outcome

Dude, reset your device to factory settings, and run it. If you have too much data on your device it may time out….

Exactly. Had al kinds of weird problems. The jailbreak was looping. After the reset to factory default it worked fine.

my cydia wont open

same here, i am admin and i need to run as admin ??? (win version)

do you still need to do the connection,camera roll fixes? or are they ok now ?

my WiFi speeds are terrible since the jailbreak. Is there a fix for that?

yes, and being rude sure helps too!

when i open it say…..ABSINTHE is now setting things up, please stand-by….
NO CYDIA……….please help

Ehi guru, how would you solve the problem that still asks for Administrator privileges even if it is run “as administrator” and my user IS effectively the administrator? would you factory reset the pc?

i am also having the same error….

Have you done a soft reset?

After restoring and removing all movies from iPad2 I finally succeeded IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM. SO GUYS TRY TO DELETE MOVIES FROM YOUR IPAD2.

yes i havedone that , but still the same shit

goto cydia >manage > sources and open all packages one by one and see which package has nothing inside it..just delete that source from there…refresh cydia.this is a problem caused when sources and packages have not been installed fully

yeeeeehaaaaa done it but does any 1 know how to unlock baseband 04.11.08 pls

yeeeehaaaaa done it any 1 know how to unlock baseband 04.11.08 please

When you figure out how please tell me I’m trying to figure out myself =(

Yep I did. But I haven’t made a backup restore. Can it affect?

After the Shift restore and the extracting of absinthe, so i run the setup wizard interface on my iPad to set it up or do i just run the jailbreak directly. If i won’t run the wizard, how can i get rid of it?

I had same issue….. Close the program…. unplug iphone. power iphone off and then back on. When you open absinthe if you are vista or higher righ click it and click “run as administrator”.. plug your device back in and you should be good. Make sure you remove any passcode lock as well while jailbreaking.

I have reset my device to factory settings,
But it stil doesnt work.
I get an error in my pc, -absinth doesnt work anymore-
Somebody please help i have tried everything,

I die everything you said but still the Same freaking error.
And what now rude boy

it goes back to normal after a couple hours

Same

Everythin worked just fine but today my cydia app disappeared from my iPhone 4s, how do I fix this need help please…

Restore your phone to factory the do jailbreak again, it sucks having to delete everything but it’s the easiest way… Hope it helps.

Works Great!!! no issues at all. My 4S is jail broken now…wow

I have the same phone you have, same version! but when i plug it in it says my device isnt supported! hELP PLS!!!

Followed instructions and 100% working break..even got the app vwallpaper to work. animated backgrounds working…thanks a ton.

Try to unzip the Absinthe again in a new folder. Reset your device to factory again, and run this. There is no reason it shouldnt JB, good luck.

Look, call it rude or not, but many of us have been enjoying our JB through the weekend. You have a variable here which cant be solved by anyone here. I dont know what your computer settings are, your permissions, network settings, none of that. The only thing I do know for a fact is that this jailbreak is easy as it comes. So call me rude, a smart ass whatever, but while you are still here reading, I am enjoying Cydia, and all the goodies it has to offer…

Good Luck.

I did everything it said and I got the absinthe app. When I click on it it says to stand by and like let absinthe run or something like that but then nothing ever happens. I also noticed under my network under VPN it says jailbreak but when I turn it on it says an error occured. So can someone please help me?

Thanks Xdjbrandonx I did exactly what you said and now have my perfectly jailbroken iPhone 4S

How do you extract all files since there are many with the same name? (there are 6 corona.tgz files) When I extract, it renames them to corona.tgz, corona_1.tgz, corona_2.tgz, etc…) I think this is causing an issue…

Son, if you would bother to do a little searching you would see there is currently no software unlock for a carrier locked 4S. If you want an unlocked handset, pony up the full retail price.

Worked like a charm. No problems at all.

Your suggestion worked for me!! Thanks! iPad jailbroke without any issues but had to follow your instructions for iPhone.

I’m running on a Windows XP, i hope this helps you guys out.
Aww man, this took me since it came out to finally figure out a solution. GODAMMMIITTTT. whatever, but i reallyy hope this helps some of you out becuase reading these comments reassured me that people were figuring it out and that i could not be the only one with a particular issue. i had the issue of ” Preparing Jailbreak”(in absinthe of course) then it coming up with an error on my computer saying the program needed to shut down. okay so everyone says that you need to reboot to factory and turn off this shit… not really.. maybe the restoring might help ya out but i dont think it neccasarily fixes the issue. i tried re-installing absinthe a couple times a couple different ways. i tried plenty of trouble shooting…. trust me. i think were people mess up is that its a .zip file, you need to unzip the file without any fancy unzipping tools because the ones i was using would keep not extracting all the files correctly. what i finally did was get the download file and put it on my desktop… then i would… ( fun part) :
1.Right click the absinthe-win0.2.zip
2.Click “Open With”
3.Click “Compressed (zipped) folders”
4.Now it will open a folder called “absinthe-win0.2.zip”
5.Double Click the “absinthe.exe”
6.Compressed .zip folder warning pops up, Extract all (desktop)
7.Now you should have all your components in the right area in a folder called
“absinthe-win0.2.zip”
8.Open the folder and right click the “absinthe.exe” ; Run as.. “Administator”

And it should work now, like i said.. it worked for me. this made me feel dumb towards the end becuase it was really the extracting of the files where i messed this up. i hope this helps some people, its really relieving to finally see cydia on your 4s. (: feel free to ask questions..

That was the easiest jail break ever…thank you guys. It does seem like it gets stuck..but you gotta leave it walk away let it do its thing. But jailbroken phone…I couldnt’ be happier

my post should help you!

If i have an Iphone 4 running the redsnow jailbreak that came out a few weeks ago is there any way to change to this jailbreak without restoring my phone to take off the current jailbreak?

i have jailbroken my iphone 4s , however i need to unlock it..does anyone know how to unlock the device? pls do let me knw

Thanks for this killer jailbreak. Although I wanted to know if anyone is having trouble with icons and stuff after applying it? Things like white app icons. The wireless connect icon gone and stuff

Of course this things fix themselves when you turn your device off and on!

Can’t jailbreak with this software. I have ipad 2 with os 5.01, winows 7 64bit, and newest version of itunes. When i press jailbreak, it goes well for a minute, and “absinthe.exe” has stopped workig.
What the? Any solution? I also tried open with adminestrator.

i cant find the ‘jailbreak’ icon….

pleaaaaase help

I found the Absinthe icon..
I opened it but still nothing happens

worked great, first time on 4s, using windows 7
nice and quick, just had to then add cydia sources once done:
Goto ‘sectionsrepositoriessteffwizinstall’
Then from search, searched for ‘all sourcesinstall’
Which found my paid apps

Hi, can someone tell me if I back up with icloud can the apple find out that my ipad is jailbroken?

Yeah i can help.

Go to your service provider and say your going to Iran (they don’t support network in this country) then they will unlock your iphone. Simple

My God you are retarded.

Someone who’s struggling to extract a file by no means should be attempting to jailbreak. :O imagine you having to do a DFU restore what would happen then without step by step instructions!!

You SIR should have taken your iPhone to Apple store and asked them to jailbreak to for you… HAHA

i had to right click and run as administrator for it to work on my windows 7 64bit, if that doesnt work for you try right click, properties, compatability, put a tick in run as admin and click apply then okay and try run it again.

should work fine m8 as it did on my system

cheers

unless your updating your fw to 5.0.1 then theres no point or benefit to redoing with absinthe m8

try rebooting, if no then redo with absinthe m8

what system are you using?

No Chenchi, iCloud will not detect a jailbroken device

Anyone still stuck in the “Absinthe is now setting things up, Please stand-by…”, after trying a million solutions that i found her and on other sites i finally found the solution. If you need any help, feel free to contact me at tmrashed at gmail dot com

Try doing a complete restore (shift-restore), if you need help contact me

did you solve the problem?

try disabling wifi and working on 3G ( you will need to re-run Absinthe twice, once to fix and second to jailbreak ) , I had same problem but this trick fixed it.

did that, still not working…

wts the solution pls tell

how did u update ur ipad 2? by itunes normally or shift clicking update button? alot ppl have this problem cause they dint update normally. i suggest u plug the pad to ur comp , and click update it by itunes normally

just sent you guys donation.. great work. i was able to jb my ipad 2!!!!

any fix on the windows error … about it shutting down?

I’m with my ipad in a place where there’s no wi-fi connection. Can I do the pc part now and finish the jailbreak later, in other place with wi-fi conection?

gr8 work….. thanks

anybody having issues with absinthe failing/crshing in the middle of the jailbreak.
make sure you extract All files (data, and absinthe.exe) hope it helps.

Absinthe keeps saying “it looks like you have already tried to jailbreak this device and failed.
helllllllllllllp please looks like it stuck in a loop now

Great work i have no problems with the jailbreak cydia is working just fine on my 4s

worked for me cheers !!!!

the same thing happened to me, what i did is i turned off the passcode lock, and uninstalled the Absinthe app, then retried it, worked for me

For those on Windows 7 and IPad 2 getting the “This application has stopped working” error. You simply need to factory reset your tablet after backing up in case anything went wrong. Then choose fresh install and when you try again, absinthe-win-0.2 should inject its poison swiftly. You should be up and running in a less than a 1 minute.

Enjoy!

me 2 ….. what can i do?

I just jailbroke my ipad 2 and some icons appear grey like safari itunes music how can i solve this?

If Your Stuff On The Setting Thing Or Whatever Just Keep On Tapping On The Absinthe Picture After You Open The Absinthe Icon In The Home Screen Hope This Worked

Guys my iPad 2 lost all of its pics and I can’t get them back. I reboot it, redid the entire jailbreak. Restored it with previous backups but it keeps sending them to “other” in iTunes. I have 11.5 gb used under the “other” tab in itunes with 0 apps downloaded so I’m assuming those are 11.5 gbs of my pics. How do I get them back? Pleaseeeee help me

My problem is – after jailbreaking I can not download hacked apps to my Ipad2 wi-fi +3g the error message appearing. + the Video Icon turned into white!

any suggestions?

PLEASE HEEEEELP!!!

does this work on ipad2 3G??

Actually, the fact that you posted that means you are still reading here. LOL What a fucking tool.

same thing happened to me, actually after i installed twice appsync 5+ and restored again and the restore process takes about 30 min for me cuz i have a lot of apps, after the process is done itunes showes over 11,5Gb other and it brought back my pictures but my apps r missing.

need help. first time it worked but i all my apps were gone so had to do another reset all settings and contents then now im stuck at the revolving loading screen. im not getting anywhere and ipad wont turn off. i hoped to redownload from icloud thats why i reset again. now its stuck . help pls.

Worked fine for me the Cydia is not installed. Can anyone help? I clicked the Absinthe icon on the iPad 2 and it says “setting up some files” but nothing is loaded or installed. Can’t do much without Cydia.

using a windows 7 64 bit select all(extract)after you download file both data and exe reset plug in and run once unplug your ipad and run exe again i kept closing itunes as ipad2 reset also make sure you turn off wifi and passlock or usually will not work this is what i did and worked great no issues running 5.0.1 on ipad2

great, thanks a lot guys, worked 100% for me (iphone 4s)

Hello. I successfully jailbreaked my iPad 2, the only problem so far is that when I hit the home button to go to search, I can’t type anything because the keyboard is not showing. I restored it, and did the jailbreak again but same result. I backed all my Cydia apps/sources with xBackup and I got everything back with no issues other than the missing keyboard.

I removed all iPad thems, but the keyboard still missing.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Start the whole process again from start to finish. It worked for me.

its not working on my i 4s, can anyone help me please..????

its not working on my i 4s, can anyone help me please..????

same happened to me, dont even get as far as anything installing

what does this jailbreak do!?!?!

Yes, it’s work on all iPad’s 2

No, only on 5.0.1 for iPad 2

Hi,

A few days ago I jailbreak (5.0.1.) my iPad 2 (white) which I bought half year ago. Worked without a trouble, I installed a lot of software on it and some things which modify the Springboard. After I installed retinapad my iPad restarted and stopped on the apple logo. It does not start since then. I can turn off pressing the Home + Sleep buttons, I can put it to DFU mode, the iTunes can reach it, but the recovery does not run down, the iTunes runs onto the undermentioned error message: “The iPad not
can be poured. A unknown mistake occurred (21).”

PLEASE HELP ME!

Thank you very much.

i jailbrake my iphone 4s .. but how to unlock it now to i can use my sim card on it ..?

hello i had the same exact problem but mine was because i ran absinthe while in lock mode then refreshed it because it was taking for ever to re-spring i download the firmware from felixburns and tried manually installing and restore that error message came up…. the way i fixed it was since it was letting me do it on my Mac i did what i was doing just on a windows and it restored basically.. so i suggest put it in DFU download firmware and just switch to restore it on a windows if ur using a mac or vice versa… also if u have like tiny umbrella or anything messing with ur iDevice make sure its closed

Also if that doesn’t work Send me an iMessage @

anytime i go to dowload, say dowload failed: unexpected content

just noticed some of the files download. anyone else have that issue… on I 4S

this app is a piece of shit. i’ve tried this fuckin thing like 10 times and the app just crashes after several minutes of it doing nothing. i’m on win7 64 with ipad2 16 wifi and followed the instructions step by step. download the app, and extracted everything to my desktop, double-clicked the absinthe exe then click jailbreak and nothing happens and it crashed after a few minutes. isn’t apple shit supposed to be easy? isn’t this supposed to be click-click kind of shit? this is wack!!

PERFECT. I have an iPad2 (gsm) running 5.0.1 (9a405). Downloaded the absinthe-win-0.2. Unzipped, ran it.. it did it’s magic, restarted.. clicked the Absinthe icon. it did its thing.. and whammo..CYDIA…. Thanks so much to everyone!

thinks

Do you have color keyboard? See if there is a theme installed. My keyboard was missing too at one point and I reinstalled a theme from color keyboard and the keyboard is back.

got the same error!

Thanks for the response…

Sent from my Verizon Wireless smartphone

I figured it out…the problem is SBSettings. I removed it and now the keyboard is working.
Sent from my iPad

I can’t find the absinthe icon….

when i click on the absinthe icon it sais there was an error and wont let me download cydia help!!!!!!!!!!

I just installed cydia and jail break it but i still can not use any other sim in my phone kindly help!!!!!!!!!!

me faced the same problem … “ABSINTHE is now setting things up, please stand by…”

Jailbreak doesnt unlock your phone. a jailbreak wont make any sim work. its like an underground app store for apps that wont be approved by apple, or for tricks and shortcuts to do things that apple doesnt allow on their device. you want to UNLOCK your iphone, i don’t know if there is a way for the 4s

I have completed and got cydia, but cydia wont load, any help? it flashes like it will open then closes

Restore and start again
Make sure to backup first, then full restore through iTunes or through settings app.
Re-jailbreak and then use your backup

Doesn’t work with windows 7. Use the cinject method instead. That works with xp and 7, but not vista…

Never use bad words in public blogs. If its not complying even after ten times of try then its not the application or its developer’s. its the fooolishness of you to be unaware of this small tutorial they gave to install the JB. Even a second grade school student will do it perfectly. Before giving a wrong comment about others juz think about you. Juz think how much those guys must have worked when you can’t even install the fully developed software.

yo!Followed instructions and 100% working break..even got the app vwallpaper to work. animated backgrounds working…thanks a ton.

you, sir, are a complete fuckin idiot. jailbreaking doesn’t unlock your phone, dumb ass.

i alr download & done the cydia app… but how to get ‘ínstall0us’?

absinthe didnt work . help ! seems like there’s something wrong with the VPN .

I have the same problem, I have windows 7, and I tried to run it in comparability with windows XP, but I have the same problem as Girl

Whenever I try to jailbreak my iPad2(3G, 64GB) with this tool, the message “error device detecting (lockdown error -2)” appears. I have no idea of what the problem is or how I can solve this. Anyone has any idea of this? Pls help me.

p.s. As I found this blog in South-Korea, I didn’t login and just post this. So it will be more pleasing to me if you give me an piece of advice to my e-mail address, , unless you mind this. Thanks

Gosh!!! I’ve download Greenpois0n Absinthe 0.2 for Windows from the link above, opened, connected the Iphone and clicked the Absinthe icon. JUST THIS. And all worked like the most beautiful music. No problems at any time and it’s every thing totally OK!!!!! Congratulations and thanks to Chronic-Dev Team. You are the best!!!!

IT WORKS. I’m using Win7 and I’ve made the JB yesterday in just one try. Amazing. Everything is OK. 1000%.

I have a question: I want to know if anyone had problems with the ipad 2 or iphone 4s after using this jailbreak. I would like to jailbreak my ipad2 64GB 3G. And also after using this jailbreak I can use a sim card on my country’s network?(I am not in America).

Thank you soo much guys. This jailbreak worked great in less than 5 minutes on ipad 2 3G 64GB.

I right-click and select “Run as Administrator” and get the same error. I went to Properties, Compatibility and checked the box for “Run as administrator” – same error. Anyone have any advice?

i Got the error message. The error was :”the URL can’t be shown”. Close or Retry. Absinthe could not be open. Any advice ? Thanks

Same here! I totally agree with Feels Bad Man. I got Windows 7 Doesn’t work. Absinthe just crashes never past the “Beginning jailbreak” page.
