Absinthe 2.0 – Untethered Jailbreak for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch 5.1.1

The Chronic Dev team has released Absinthe 2.0 which will jailbreak most devices on firmware 5.1.1. I’ll provide a list below of compatible devices. First, I’m going to jailbreak my new iPad (3). It’s current firmware is 5.1 so I am upgrading to 5.1.1. Before jailbreaking I recommend backing up your device. I use iCloud to backup but you can also connect to iTunes and under devices, right click the device and choose backup. It had been suggested to wipe/restore your device before running this jailbreak to save time. It may take up to 30 minutes if you don’t. I have so much on my device that it would take longer than that to restore so I’m trying it with all my apps, pictures and settings.

Once backed up you need to download Absinthe to your computer. MacOSX, Windows & Linux are supported.

Download

Once installed, open Absinthe and connect your device via USB. Once the device is connected it will be detected by Absinthe. Just click “Jailbreak” and wait…

Mine took about 20 minutes.

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

iPhone2,1 – 3,1 – 3,3 – 4,1
