is it worth going from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 on iphone 4 (MC603C) ?

will i preserve my baseband?

Depends. I upgraded but it was just bc my phone was being screwy. I think I would've stayed on 5.0.1 based on pure laziness if it wasn't. Honestly I can't see a huge difference for how I use my phone. It's up to you if you want to upgrade or not.

You can preserve your baseband if you use a custom firmware.

Finally someone that understands! Lol I'm still on 5.0l.1 just because almost everything is compatible with it.

Lol yeah the compatibility thing too.

You guys you don't have to restore I didnt and it worked fine if it fails just close application and start again

**2k1** · 06-13-2012, 07:29 PM

They says it works better when ya do a clean restore. It's not required but does help speed up the process and better chance of not having any problems in the future

+1. It's always safer to do a fresh restore when an initial jb process has failed, before doing the jb again. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it causes more problems. Better safe than sorry is what I say.

Also, all the tweaks you have will be overwritten by the jailbreak. I've done it on accident before and I had like 10 MB of disk space left, literally. It's always good to do a fresh restore.

Tried 6 times.. restore and doing it again and again... I give up... when is redsn0w going to come out with a 5.1.1 jailbreak

**celeron** · 06-14-2012, 08:21 AM

You can use the latest redsnow. It's already working for 5.1.1

They always have new updates bro. Be sure to stay up to date with the jailbreak news

the staff writers normally make a post on the home page when they release a new tool.

My springboard and lockscreen keeps jumping. Is there a bug on absinthe 2.0. Need help does anyone else have this problem?

**celeron** · 06-15-2012, 11:49 AM

What do you mean by jumping?

**H4CK3R** · 06-15-2012, 03:16 PM

I think he means messing up or something? You have to be specific bro

**supersmoov** · 06-15-2012, 04:39 PM

I'm having trouble with my device. It is on 5.1.1 (9B208) but will not complete the jailbreak. I have searched high and low for Absinthe 2.0.2 as that seems to be the only way that I have found to successfully jailbreak the phone with that version. Any help?

**H4CK3R** · 06-15-2012, 04:41 PM

Try using a different computer or USB port. Also ake sure that iTunes is closed while you run the jailbreak.
