How To Jailbreak Your iOS 5.1.1 Device with Absinthe Tool Device On Mac/Windows (Untethered)

Windows users, have no fear! You are now able to download the new Absinthe 2.0 tool and waste no time reach for you 5.1.1 iOS device and perform a lovely untethered jailbreak. The actual process does not differ very much from what Mac users have to do in order to jailbreak their 5.1.1 devices using this tool and, apart from a few not so important differences like having to run the Absinthe 2.0 tool as Administrator, and the actual zip file there is nothing else important to do. So if you are a Mac user you can skip step number 2 and 3 and jump directly to the Jailbreak process. Just download Absinthe and read the guide from point number 3.

On the other hand, since we also respect our Windows user audience let us get started and show you how to jailbreak your 5.1.1 device using absinthe on Windows.

 

1. The first and logical step would be you to head to our Download Page and get the Windows version of the Absinthe 2.0 tool.

2. Now that you have succeeded in downloading Absinthe 2.0 you will proceed and right click on the icon, and select Run as administrator, in order to extract it. All you have to do now is wait a couple of seconds until the self extracting zip file does its work. During this process you will see a window  like this:

 

After this process, on your desktop you will find a new folder that will be named absinthe-win-2.0 that contains all you need for your jailbreak.

3. Now you will have to go to the absinthe-win-2.- file and perform that right click and Run as administrator action again like described in the second step of the guide.

4. From now on it’s only fun and kids games. You are welcome to connect your iOS 5.1.1 iPhone or iPad and check if the Absinthe tool correctly displays the type and model of your iPhone or iPad.

5.  Are you ready for some action? I am sure you are and you won’t waste any time and click the Jailbreak Button and enjoy the beautiful view of the progress bar.

6. After a while your iPhone or iPad will look like it’s attempting a restore process. Don’t panic, it is a normal thing.

7. Now it is time for your patience to be reworded. After the restore process you will be surprised to find the Cydia app lounging on your iPhone/iPad screen.

8. It is now safe for you to free your device from the PC and close the Absinthe tool.

9. Next you will tap the Cydia app and give it some time to configure its settings.

10. This is it! You are the proud owner of a untethered ios 5.1.1 jailbroken iPhone/iPad and you can go ahead and add those wished sources to Cydia!
