Absinthe Untethered Jailbreak Tool For iPhone 4S & iPad 2

Absinthe. That is the name of the jailbreak tool you are going to hearing for sometime. Absinthe is the tool that is going to jailbreak (untether) iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 developed by the Chronic Dev Team.

Pod2g has updated his blog regarding the jailbreak scene for the A5 devices. A couple of hours ago we posted “a must” read for those users who are going to jailbreak their iOS device. Which if you have not already read it then go here and read it as you would definitely be needing that. Now back to Absinthe. From pod2g’s blog

A tool named Absinthe and developped by the Chronic Dev Team will install the untether on your device. Also the iPhone Dev Team will release a CLI (command line) tool to help diagnose issues and repair things if it goes wrong.

The iPhone Dev team is going to release a CLI which would help you diagnose issues relating to the A5 jailbreak before they incorporate the jailbreak to the official Redsnow. This is the first time iPhone Dev team is going to do this, maybe they are not completely sure of the outcome of this jailbreak. But you do not need to worry too much as pod2g mentions

This is a little scary I know, but the chance you break something is really small, since we made lots of tests to verify the process on different devices. But it is the first time we use the backup / restore functions of iTunes to install software, and there are maybe things we are not aware of.

As we have already mentioned before, Absinthe will support these versions:

• iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0, 5.0.1 (9A405 and 9A406)

• iPad 2 Wifi/GSM/CDMA running iOS 5.0.1

Absinthe will be released any minute and we will be updating you on this as soon as it’s released. So stay tuned.
