Absinthe 2.0.4 Fixes IPhone 4S Jailbreak Error, Supports New iPad 2

Published

on

The Absinthe 2.0 jailbrek tool arrived last week with the ability to jailbreak most Apple devices, but there was one version of the iPad 2 that could not be jailbroken with the tool.

The Chronic Dev Team updated Absinthe with an iPhone 4S Jailbreak fix and support for the iPad 2,4.

The iPad 2,4 is better known as the new $399 iPad 2 model with a smaller chip and better battery life. Absinthe 2.0.4 can jailbreak the iPad 2, no matter which model you own.

The newest version of Absinthe also fixes the lockdown error -5 issue that prevented some users from performing the iPhone 4S jailbreak.

Absinthe 2.0.4 iPhone 4S Jailbreak

Absinthe 2.0.4 brings a fix for iPhone 4S jailbreak errors and support for iPad 2,4.

This update should fix many of the issues that put iPhone 4S jailbreakers on lock down. If you have trouble jailbreaking the iPhone 4S or iPad, download the latest version of Absinthe 2 and start over.

Instead of resetting the iPhone or iPad on the device, I suggest using the Restore option in iTunes to ensure a smooth jailbreak.

Check out How to Jailbreak the iPhone 4S and our iPhone 4S Jailbreak Guide for more information.

There are many reasons to jailbreak the iPhone 4S and the iPad, but the ability to install any app and to customize the look of iOS 5.1.1 is one of the biggest reasons.

I chose to jailbreak my iPhone 4S, but I won’t jailbreak my iPad because I rely on it for entertainment apps that try to block jailbreak apps from working. While there are workarounds for many of these I don’t want to hassle with getting around a block just to watch a movie.

    “The newest version of Absinthe also fixes the lockdown error -5 issue that prevented some users from performing the iPhone 4S jailbreak.”

    Nope – not for a lot of users (including myself). Very frustrating.

    I have a 4S with iOS 5.1.1 and was successful in installing Absinthe 2.0.4. However, my iFile app and MobileTerminal apps don’t work, despite supposedly having been designed for my iOS level.

    I did the jb using the restore method to insure a clean jb. With over 50Gb of data on the phone, it took hours to restore. I recommend deleting big files (vid) if you’re going to try this and add the movies / pics back in later.

    Seems that while the jb is breaking through, there is some work yet to be done to get everything else working properly with it.

    Keep at least 2 GB space free.. It requires 2 GB space to jail break.. And for the lock error try this thing… Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Content and Settings. Then make sure you download Absinthe 2.0.4 and run it again.
