Thanks to our very own “Professor for putting together this guide for jailbreaking your iPhone 4s using the Windows OS.  We’ve also included a video.

Please follow these instructions at your own risk.

1) Download CLI tool for windows to your downloads folder - (Files attached to this post), then extract the folder to your download folder.

2) There should now be a folder called: “cinject_0.4.3″

3) Connect your iDevice to your PC with a USB data cable.

4) Open up CMD, right click and run as administrator and type (Without ” quotes) “cd downloads”

5) Then type: cd cinject_0.4.3

6) Next type this command  cinject.exe -i payloads/jailbreak.mobileconfig

7) On your device, click on install, and when prompted to type in a password, just click next, with no password in.

8.) Now back to the PC and type this command: cinject.exe -j payloads

9) Just wait, might take some time.

10) Now type this command:  cinject.exe -w

11) On your device toggle the “VPN” switch on in the settings, after a few seconds it should say “error”, this is ok

12) Now reboot your iDevice. Cydia should be installed.

If you do not have Cydia installed, you will need to repeat all steps from step 4.

Here’s a video to help guide you through the process.  (courtesy of idownloadblog.com)

iPhone 4S and iPad 2 owners can finally jailbreak their devices.  The long awaited untethered jailbreak for your device is now available.  Get it here. Check out the instructions and video after the break.

How to Jailbreak the iPhone 4S or iPad 2 with Absinthe

Step 1: Download, extract, and run Absinthe from here.

Step 2: Connect your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 via USB.

Step 3: Click “Jailbreak” to run the Absinthe jailbreak. It will take a while on the beginning portion, and eventually your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 will look like it’s restoring a backup. It will say “Restoring in Progress”. This can be pretty lengthy. Don’t worry, it’s working. Don’t touch your device until completely finished!

Step 4: Once completed, unlock your iPhone if necessary, and you should see an Absinthe icon on the Home screen. You may have to search for it if you have a lot of app icons. Tap the Absinthe icon, and it should load the GreenPois0n site, and will then reboot your device. Once it loads back up, the Cydia icon will have replaced the Absinthe icon.

Step 5: Your iPhone 4S or iPad 2  is now  jailbroken! It took a while, but it was certainly worth the wait. Now all that’s left to do is load Cydia for the first time, and start downloading your favorite jailbreak apps and tweaks.

Some users are experiencing errors with a message saying “Error establishing Database Connection”.  Here’s what you do:

iOS hacker PlanetBeing who helped develop the jailbreak tweeted a simple fix for the “error establishing a database connection”. Apparently, all you need to do is go to Settings > Network > VPN > ON.

The VPN connection will most likely give an error and your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 should reboot shortly after. Once it’s rebooted, try launching the Absinthe webclip again.

That should do the trick.

As we get closer to a jailbreak for the iOS devices, there seems to be some conflicting inoformation regarding whether users should update to 5.0.1 or not.

Initially, we were told to make sure that our devices were updated to 5.0.1 and that those who haven’t and want to jailbreak would need to do so before Apple patched the hole.  Now a report from iClarified says that it would be better for users to remainon iOS 5.0 so that they have the best chance of unlocking their device in the long term.

MuscleNerd has confirmed to iClarified that an untethered iPhone 4S jailbreak for iOS 5.0 will be released at the same time as the iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak, or a day or two later. As always, for those looking to unlock, it is standard operating procedure to stay at the lowest possible baseband.

If you’ve already updated, you can still downgrade to the older build since an unlocking method would most likely be found for that one first.

Looks like pod2g has done it again and the untethered jailbreak for iOS is complete.  Now we just have to wait for him to make it available.

According to pod2g blog, iPhone 4S and iPad2 owners will be able to jailbreak very soon.

pod2g has recently updated his blog to say that “there should be nothing left blocking for the A5 jailbreak”.  He goes on to say that “now it should be a matter of days, Still no precise ETA of course.”

Those of you waiting in anticipation of this jailbreak should make sure that you’ve upgraded your device to iOS 5.01 if you haven’t done so already.  If Apple releases a fix to patch this jailbreak, you’ll be out of luck as there will be no way for you to get back to iOS 5.01 unless you’ve saved the SSH blobs via TinyUmbrella.
