These are instructions on how to perform an untethered jailbreak of your iPad on iOS 5.1.1 using Absinthe for Windows.

Warning***: Before you continue make sure to do a backup of your device in iTunes as you may lose your Camera Roll during this process.

Step One
Download the latest version of Absinthe from here.

Step Two
Extract the downloaded archive.

How to Jailbreak Your iPad Using Absinthe 2.0 (Windows) [5.1.1]

Step Three
Double click the absinthe-win-2.0.exe file from the folder that was just extracted.

This will create a new folder called absinthe-win-2.0.

Open the newly created folder and launch absinthe.exe.

Step Three
As prompted, connect your iPad to the computer via USB. Make sure to remove any passcodes or VPN settings you've previously set.

Step Four
Click the Jailbreak button to begin

Step Five
The application will take you through several steps to jailbreak including: beginning jailbreak, sending initial jailbreak data, sending final jailbreak data, waiting for reboot, and waiting for process to complete.

Step Six
You will be informed that the jailbreak is 'Done'.

Step Seven
In a few moments you will notice Cydia appear on your Springboard!

***If you have any problems please retry the procedure on a device cleanly restored to iOS 5.1.1 (Remember to backup before restoring)***

Hello, i got the Ipad 3 jailbroken with Absinthe. Two Days ago noticed that FaceTime and Message icons disappeared. They are not listed in settings and when I search with spotlight nothing's found. Any suggestions as I cannot do a restore cause apple stoped signing 5.1.1 and don't have blobs saved as I bought it 10 days ago?

I have an iPad 3 (GSM)...although Cydia appears and works fine using absinthe-win-2.0.4...i am unable to install Installous 5...i keep getting error has mismatch. Has anyone else had this or knows how to resolve this?

konquistador - September 26, 2012 at 6:34pm

Hi, i am getting the same error while downloading installous 5, its says Hash Error Mismatch. Did you find a solution yet?

Tested with absinthe 2.0.4 on iPad 2,2 running IOS 5.1.1 ended every time with Hmm something went wron, trying to recover. I found the solution here: http://www.ios5jailbreak.org/forum/absinthe-2-0-error-something-seems-to-have-gone-wrong.html If you force the iPad into DFU mode, do a Shift+Restore in itunes, and load IOS 5.1.1 from nothing then it works

First, backup your device with iTunes. Then on the iPad, go to settings, reset, erase all data and settings Try jailbreak again I had an equivalent issue with my 12 out of 13,8 gb iPad wifi (very long first step ! Then error during the second) After resetting, JB in less than a minute, flawless. Then you restore from backup.

I found on my iPad 1 the same error and it worked after I did a "Reset Network Settings".

Worked flawlessly with my iPad 3 (WiFi). - Downloaded the 5.1.1 firmware for iPad 3 WiFi - Restored with iTunes (Shift + Click on Restore) - Executed Absinthe 2.0.1 - Jailbreaked successfully

Jailbreak ongoing on iPad 2,1 iOS 5.1.1 First try after backup - error on step 5,2 Second try after cleaning precedent jailbreak files - error on step 5,2 Third try after erasing data and config on iPad - SUCCESS starting Cydia (while starting iTunes then force closing it BIGFAIL) ending with only four apps, youtube, video, todo, ... but not settings ! Restoring iPad Do not be too eager, be patient !

Oolyctus - May 26, 2012 at 10:15am

Well, after a few other mistakes, not being patient enough, I've got a full functionning iPad 2,1 running iOS 5.1.1 jailbroken. Thx to the whole Jailbreak scene ! Please do not crack apps !
