[HOW TO] Jailbreak Your iOS 5.1.1 Device With Absinthe 2

[delutedsoul]

I dont believe a jailbreak for 5.1 on the iphone 4s was ever released, I know it was released for 5.0.1 and 5.1.1, but dont think so for 5.1

did you at least save any SHSH blobs on the iphone 4s?

She just got it.."it came out of the box" with 5.1 couldn't save shsh blobs

then unfortunately you can either stay on 5.1 or update to iOS6, a jailbreak for iOS 6 is in the works but we are not sure when it will be released

Thank you

I'm on iOS 4 for my 3GS. Am I still able to upgrade to just 5.1.1?

[2k1]

If ya have the shsh blobs yes you can

[misterdobi]

Unfortunately I don't. There is no other way I can update to 5.1.1? Is my only choice to upgrade to iOS 6 to jailbreak?

[2k1]

That's correct

[RJIZZY]

I need help. Usually I know what I'm doing.
It's been awhile since I followed the jailbreak game.

Anyways, I'm on iPhone 4 with iOS 4.0

I was trying to update it to 5.1.1
But it wouldn't let me, keeps giving me error.

I think I still have the shsh blob

How do I update it to 5.1.1 without getting any errors?
I have the latest iTunes version.

[2k1]

What errors are you gitting?

[RJIZZY]

Not sure... Just won't update.

[2k1]

Well if ya don't have the blobs it will give ya errors. Make sure ya have them

[RJIZZY]

How do I find the blob and what program to use

[2k1]

Tiny umbrella download that

[RJIZZY]

Oh ok then I have the blob. I have tiny umbrella.

Tell me the steps I need to know
Cus I'm tired of my phone crashing all the time

[Snipers168]

I Dont Think I Can Do That...

How do you Restore back to 5.1.1 if you mistakenly Restored to 6.0.1???? I downloaded the 5.1.1 iOS and hit cmd-shift-Restore in iTunes. The pop-up said it would restore but not restore to the latest software, as it does if you hit Restore w/o the cmd-shift. So I assumed it would restore the current iOS or from the 5.1.1 download. NOPE...... So now, a have an (almost useless) 6.0.1 iPod Touch 4G.....

I'm sure this has been addressed somewhere on this forum... Pls post a link....

TIA

Do you have 5.1.1 SHSH?

Do you have 5.1.1 SHSH?

I _may_ have... I have TinyUmbrella on the MacBookPro at work, and I conneced this iPod to it to see what generation and what iOS it had. This was back in the summer, and I seem to remember hitting "Save SHSH". This is the second time I've operated on this iPod: I JailBroke it using RedSn0w version 0.9.15b3 earlier this month, but some of the Cydia apps/extensions were buggy. I also lost a whole bunch of photos and videos. So I wanted to run Absinthe on it to try and correct these problems.

The bottom line: if RedSn0w automatically saves SHSH blobs to the Cydia server, I quess I _do_ have them, albeit without knowing how to access them.

I'll report back later today with what I have using TinyUmbrella.
Thanks

Do you have 5.1.1 SHSH?

So: I _do_ have a saved shsh file done this summer (08.08.2012). If you could point me to a thread showing how to use it? Meanwhile, I'll look on your "Supermoderator" blog.
Thanks
