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.

iPhone 4S speaker problems

So today I noticed a problem with my new 4S speaker. I downloaded the 12 days of christmas application and also continued to download the top gear episodes that were todays gift.

When I started playing the video it sounded a little strange, I covered up the right speaker and you could tell something was in the way of the speaker. I then continued to cover up the left speaker and there was no change.

It appears the left hand speaker in my iPhone is not working, I have tried all the usual restoring firmware etc but still had no effect. I made my appointment at the Apple store tomorrow to see if they will swap it out. If they don’t have any in stock I may return the phone and stick with my iPhone 4, but that is another blog post as to why I may just do that.

I will update this post tomorrow when I get back from the Apple store.

So I decided to cancel my appointment at the Apple store. Reason being from a reply on the comments made me look for something so simple. However looking at the iPhone 4 specs this seems to be the same. I will check on my iPhone 4 to see if the issue is the same and if it is, I won’t do anything and just put it down to a stupid moment I was having. If it doesn’t it is def going back to Apple to check.
