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.
Apple TV Jailbroken with Pwnage Tool 4.1
Finally, I have managed to get my Apple TV jailbroken -
I tried everything on Windows to get it working and read up somewhere the limra1n was meant to be able to successfully jailbreak Apple TV. This wasn’t the case and found myself stuck with a nice sized hocky puck! Stuck in restore mode, quick flick back into iTunes and restored and we were back to square one.
So eventually I did the following….
Jailbreak Apple TV 2G running on iOS 4.1 with PwnageTool 4.1 for Mac
1. Start PwnageTool 4.1 and select Apple TV 2G model as shown in the screenshot below.
2. PwnageTool will now automatically detect the correct firmware for your Apple TV.
3. Click on Yes when you see any pop-up message.
4. Now PwnageTool will create the custom IPSW file for your Apple TV 2G which will be jailbroken.
5. Now its time to put the Apple TV into DFU mode. follow the steps to enter DFU mode:
- Connect your Apple TV with your Computer via microUSB.
- Now reboot your Apple TV by holding down Menu + Down buttons together for around 6 seconds.
- After reboot, immediately hold Menu + Play until you see the message in iTunes saying that Apple TV in recovery mode is detected.
6. Once your Apple TV 2G in DFU mode, next step is to restore your Apple TV 2G to the custom firmware 4.1 file.
7. Start iTunes, Hold down Option/Alt key on keyboard and click the Restore button in iTunes.
8. Now, go to the location for your custom firmware 4.1 file, Select the custom .ipsw file and click on Open.
9. Now sit back and just wait while iTunes installs the new firmware 4.1 on your Apple TV 2G. After the installation is done, your Apple TV 2G will restart automatically.
Than you should now have a jailbroken Apple TV with full root access, running on iOS 4.1.
iPhone 3GS 4.0 Jailbroken!
Well what a morning, after going to sleep last night I had no idea what today would have in store with me. I found myself checking my tweets when I got into work with a mention from @SirTrott asking if I had jailbroken my iPhone yet. This was fantastic to my eyes and straight away I thought damn, I’m at work with no access to iTunes and cannot do it until I get home.
Then a quick search on the internet and found out that you no longer need to do it on a PC/MAC. If you simply browse to http://jailbreakme.com it does it all for you on your iDevice!
After numerous attempts to do it this morning I finally gave up and decided to try the http://modmyi.com mirror which seems much quicker and can be found http://jailbreakme.modmyi.com
I now have my iPhone 3GS jailbroken and cydia is once again on my home screen. This is fantastic new and have been waiting for this for some time now.
