Absinthe 2.0.1 has arrived!

Click here for most current Jailbreak.

After copious amounts of work and many sleepless nights Absinthe 2.0.1 is finally here to jailbreak your device. This release has been a large collaborative effort between Chronic-Dev Team and iPhone Dev Teams (Jailbreak Dream Team)

This jailbreak supports firmware 5.1.1 ONLY and is again one of the most easiest jailbreaks to use (so easy your grandma could do it ;D)

Absinthe 2.0.1 supports the following devices:

iPad1,1 – 2,1 – 2,2 – 2,3 – 3,1 – 3,2 – 3,3

iPhone2,1 – 3,1 – 3,3 – 4,1

iPod3,1 – 4,1

(Support for iPad2,4 will be added at a later date)

How To Use Absinthe 2.0.1:

1. Make a backup of your device in iTunes by right clicking on your device name under the ‘Devices’ menu and click ‘Back Up’.

2. Once your backup is complete return to your device and go to Settings – General – Reset – Erase all Content and Settings. This will make the jailbreak process much faster.

3. Open Absinthe and be sure you are still connected via USB cable to your computer.

4. Click ‘Jailbreak’ and wait…. just be patient and do not disconnect your device.

5. Once jailbroken return to iTunes and restore your backup from earlier. Right click on your device name under the ‘Devices’ menu in the left panel of iTunes and click ‘Restore from Back Up…’ then select the latest backup you created before. (restoring this backup will return all the content previously on your device ie, apps, photos, etc.)

6. Thanks for using Absinthe, enjoy your jailbroken iDevice!

Save 5.1.1 SHSH Blobs for your iDevice Before It’s Too Late

These days we are waiting for Pod2g’s iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak with Absinthe 2.0.1. So all of jailbreakers who plan to use the upcoming Absinthe 2.0 will update their iDevices to iOS 5.1.1. So it’s highly recommended to save SHSH blobs files for iOS 5.1.1.

Saving iOS 5.1.1 SHSH blobs will help you to downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 from any future (unjailbreakalbe) version of iOS to enjoy the untethered jailbreak. Notcom, the guy behind TinyUmbrella released TU 5.11.00 few days ago to support the latest version of iOS.

As a reminder, to save your SHSH blobs, simply connect your iDevice via USB to your computer, launch TinyUmbrella, and click the “Save SHSH” button.

How to Prepare your iPhone or iPad to iOS 5.1.1 Absinthe Untethered jailbreak?

If you planning to inject the iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak using Absinthe 2.0.1 into you iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, so you have to make some preparations to your iDevice. Let me show you what you should do.

How to prepare your iDevice to iOS 5.1.1 Absinthe Untethered jailbreak?
For iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS, iPad 2, iPad 1, iPod touch 4G and 3G users:

Step 1: Download last version of iTunes

Step 2: Download iOS 5.1.1 for your iDevice

Step 3: Plug your iDevice into your computer then right click on your device then click on Backup Button

Step 4: Now you have to restore your iDevice to iOS 5.1.1. Hold (Alt in Mac) (Shift in Windows) and click on the ‘restore’ button then point it to iOS 5.1.1 you download above. Wait for between 10 and 15 minutes for the new OS to be moved over.

Note: If you are receiving “An internal error occurred.” (3200 or 3004) this means Apple’s servers are to busy to deal with your restore request. Try again later.

For The New iPad (iPad 3) users:

For iPad 3 users you can follow the same above tutorial. But I recommend to use OTA (Over The Air) update, just follow the below steps:

Step 1: From home screen, go to Setting > General > Software Update > Download and install

Step 2: In few minutes your iPad 3 will be upgraded to iOS 5.1.1.

Note: Make sure that your iPad is connected to a power source while the download is in progress to save battery.

Important for iPhone unlockers (unofficial carries) who use SAM, Gevey SIM or Ultrasn0w to unlock iPhone:

iPhone 4S users :

iPhone 4S can be unlocked on iOS 5.1.1 using backed up SAM activation tickets or Gevey Ultra S on any baseband.

iPhone 4 users:

iPhone 4 can be unlocked on iOS 5.1.1 using backed up SAM activation tickets on any baseband. For who are using ultrasn0w you have to upgrade your iPhone 4 to custom iOS 5.1.1 using Redsn0w to preserve the unlockable baseband then unlock it using ultrasn0w fixer.

iPhone 3GS users:

You MUST upgrade your devices to custom iOS 5.1.1 then use ultrasn0w fixer to unlock iPhone 3GS on iOS 5.1.1.

Pod2G Jailbreaks 5.1.1 Untethered, Public Release Could Still Take Weeks

Since my last jailbreak update Pod2G announced two new things. First, he tweeted about the release date claiming it is ”Some weeks away to have a nice, user friendly tool”. While this isn’t the best news hopefully it won’t take any longer than his prediction. The second tweet he sent out hours later claimed that he had no problems jailbreaking the new iPad Untethered on 5.1.1. It’s good to know that the developers are hard at work. As always I will post when the jailbreak is out.

How To: Install iPhoto On Non iOS 5.1 Devices

With the recent release of iPhoto and iOS 5.1, Apple has made iPhoto compatible with devices running iOS 5.1 ONLY. Maybe they figured this would be an incentive to get some people to update and leave their untethered jailbreak behind on iOS 5.0.1. But with this simple tutorial you don’t have to update to iOS 5.1 can keep your iOS 5.0.1 firmware (Which is probably jailbroken) , and can install iPhoto! Just follow the steps below and if you need extra help just check out my video tutorial. Enjoy!

Step 1: Open Cydia and download iPhoto501Fix (No source adding necessary)

Step 2: Download iFile from Cydia

Step 3: Open iFile and navigate to /—>System—>Library—>CoreServices—>Systemversion.plist

Step 4: Open SystemVersion.plist in a text file

Step 5: **IMPORTANT** Change 5.0.1 to 5.1

Note: Your device may not say 5.0.1 between the strings. It will say whatever firmware you are on. For example if you are running iOS 4.2 it will say 4.2

Step 6: Done! Open up iPhoto and enjoy!

I have not been able to sync the iPhone to iTunes unless the apps are deleted.

PandoraDownloader Allows You to Download Songs, Skip Ads, and Unlimited Skips

I love Pandora, I use it about everyday. Every so often however, I get an ad or I can’t skip the song because of limited amount of skips. Well a new Cydia tweak allows you to skip as many times as you want, no ads, and oh by the way you can download songs also. This has to be one of the best tweaks of the year and best of all its free. To download songs, make sure you have the Pandora app on your idevice, and also make sure you have an account and a radio station. If you already have this, then great. All you have to do now is select a radio and in between the thumbs up and down, there should be an arrow. Tap on the arrow and select save song. THis will cause PandoraDownloader to open and you can download your song! If you want it to transfer back into your computer, you will have to SSH it. The songs are located at /var/mobile/Media/Pandora. Check out this video walk through:
