For those of you waiting for a jailbreak for your Apple devices running iOS version 5.1.1, the long wait is over as the UNTETHERED jailbreak is now available!
The jailbreak is provided by Pod2G and distributed by the Chronic Dev Team through their jailbreak tool Absinthe 2.0. The jailbreak process is fairly easy. (Yes, I’ve done it on my own device.)
All you have to do is download the jailbreak tool, extract it, run the application, plug your device, and click the jailbreak button. It’s quite fun since you don’t have to put it in DFU mode.
The full list of compatible devices running iOS 5.1.1 is listed below:
• iPhone 4S
• iPhone 4
• iPhone 3GS
• iPad (3rd gen)
• iPad 2
• iPad 1
• iPod touch 3G
• iPod touch 4G
• Apple TV 2G
Word of warning though, jailbreaks come with risks and that means that you might brick your device if it isn’t done properly. Folks at Redmondpie.com has provided the download link and some easy to understand instructions here. If you don’t know what “jailbreak†is but still want to do the process, please ask for assistance.
Enjoy your happy jailbroken weekend everyone!
I updated my jailbroken iPod touch 4G from 5.1 semi tethered (Redsnow) to 5.1.1 untethered (Absinthe). Mas madali pala gamitin yung Asbinthe because you don’t have to go on DFU mode. Isang click lang and you’re good to go. My devive works great. But I had to re-install my Cydia tweaks. My iBooks crashing was fixed, though. Thanks!
