These are instructions on how to perform an untethered jailbreak of your iPhone 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.
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 iPhone 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)***

I have an iPhone 4 factory unlocked (can work with any sim card or phone company that I want).
I think it originally came with iOS 4.3.3 and I already updated the iOS and jailbreak many times.
Nowadays I have it with iOS 5.0.1 already jailbroken..
I'd really like to update to iOS 5.1.1 and jailbreak it.
My question:
If this iOS update and unthetered jailbreak to 5.1.1 still possible at the moment?
or I will end up with a "blocked" iphone, because of the erros in the process, with no other choice that updating to iOS 6.0.1 (current official) with no jailbreak at all.
Hope it understands what I'm asking..
Please, someone answer.. Thanks!
I have a 4S with 5.1.1, but the latest IOS available is 6.0.1. I did not update the IOS version, and followed the steps mentioned. I get an error "Unable to connect to lockdownd. aborting." But the Cydia icon appears on the iphone. did it install correctly? To remove Cydia, I tried to restore from backup, but it still had the Cydia installed.
Anything Im doing wrong? I dont want to restore to 6.0.1
Thanks

Hi Folks,
My visually impaired friend from Venezuela bought an old iPhone 3GS believing that it is not locked and tried to upgrade to 5.1.1 (without asking me, and yes, I am in Europe, so can only do remote support). She upgraded to 5.1.1 in iTunes and of course the SIM is not recognized.
Yesterday I guided her installing the latest version of Absinthe on her PC. The app starts, and when she plugged the USB cable it recognized the iPhone and its hardware version, but the "Jailbreak" button stays disabled. What should she do?
Although I am an iPhone dev, I never before considered jailbreaking any device, so please do not give me a hard time :)
I really will appreciate your help, because for my friend the iPhone (and the VoiceOver) opened a new world of possibilities. Thanks again!
