HOWTO: Jailbreak iPhone 4S and iPad 2
So I got home, logged onto twitter and found out the iPad2 and 4S jailbreak untethered had been released.
Real simple to do, download Absinthe from http://cache.greenpois0n.com/dl/absinthe-mac-0.1.2-1.zip
- Launch on your Mac
- Disable Passcode Lock
- Hit Jailbreak
- Wait a few moments
- Launch the Absinthe logo on the iPhone
- Your phone will look as though its restoring
- When back up there is Cydia
Enjoy your jailbroken A5 devices!
Update: If your phone doesn’t look as though it is doing anything when the Absinthe logo is launched on your device. Simply do a reboot
Update2: It looks as though greenpois0n.com is having problems at the moment, you may be getting “Error Establishing Database Connection” when you try and launch the Absinthe application on your iPhone 4S or iPad2.
iPad went strange today..
So, yesterday I Jailbroke my iPad running 5.0.1 with @pod2g‘s untethered jailbreak for A4 devices.
I was playing around with Cydia and installing some of the usual applications like:
iFile, Winterboard, SBSettings as well as some more random applications, as soon as I find the website where I was getting the ideas from I will list them all. However when I rebooted my iPad it came back up and let me log in fine, however I noticed the icons were strangely spaced out (which makes me think Winterboard) may have been to blame but until I replicate the error I cannot be sure. All of my applications thought they were running on an iPhone. My touch screen wouldnt work within applications so I couldnt remove apps from Cydia either.
The only way to get around it was to restore and re-jailbreak.
Investigations continue.
UPDATE: I did also install the FullForce application
Just upgraded my iPad 1 to iOS 5.0.1: Problems
Yesterday I decided it was time to upgrade my iPad to iOS 5.0.1 (great timing with the untethered jailbreak getting released this morning) so far, I’m not that impressed. I keep getting really bad lags and applications that just force close.
Not sure why, but I’m just about to jailbreak, so I will see what that allows me to do and install from Cydia.
Anyone else had problems with iOS 5.0.1 running on iPad 1?
UPDATE, now I have jailbroken it’s still randomly closing applications when it wants to. Investigations continue
iPad Jailbroken with Spirit
OK I know I jailbroke my iPad some time ago now but I have only just got around to writing a blog post about it.
Since first getting the iPad I really wanted to jailbreak it but I was too scared, then one day, I received something that made the decision for me. Yep that’s right lets just say I received a bill.
OK so first of all here is how you jailbreak the iPad with spirit.
- Your iPad must be running firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.2 (not 3.2.1). (some of the firmware listed there is only avalaiable for the iPhone.)
- Your device must be activated and not stuck in restore mode or recovery mode.
- You will need iTunes 9.2 installed.
- Download Spirit Jailbreak app from the following links: WINDOWS : MAC : LINUX
- Connect your device to your computer.
- Launch the App
- Click the button
- Within seconds you are complete and jailbroken.
Please note the above is from my experience using the MAC version although I guess there wont be much difference with the Windows version, its the Linux one I am not sure of.
Now I love having Cydia / 3rd party applications as well of, Winterboard!!
