Updated to 5.1.1 and then JB using absinthe. No problems at all just that when i was d/ling pkgbackup there was some problems detecting the program cos i guess cydia wasn't updated. Took so long to restore my themes from dropbox and somehow it couldn't be found at all even after restoring them. Therefore just went down to cydia and d/led them and again it took so long to d/l them but anyway finally had them and now everything on my phone is the same as 5.0.1

Just one question do u find starhub MOL slow in d/ling stuff from cydia and dropbox?

U updated to 5.1.1 thru iTunes? Was it 9B206 or 9B208 and absinthe 2.0 or 2.1 u are using?

TIA!!

Hi AbuNeNe, can chk with you...u update thru itunes or downloaded ipsw file? If from itunes, is ur 5.1.1 (9B206) or 5.1.1 (9B208)
Not using ipsw file. 5.1.1 only have minor changes so I updated through it on the iPhone using WIFI. Need 5.1.1 as absinthe only can jailbreak 5.1.1 and not 5.0.1.

Finally managed to install iFile as keep gettting http 500/hash sum error.

hi need some help with jailbroken ipod touch 4th gen iOS 5.1.1

I just did a jailbreak this morning using Absinthe and it turned out fine. I installed some add-ons like sbsettings, etc. after I started up a game app, the screen suddenly froze and slowly became whiter until there's nothing other than blue and pink lines across a white screen. I've tried everything from turning the ipod off (holding power button), doing hard restore (holding power + home button), and trying to enter DFU mode. itunes won't even detect my ipod. anyone got similar experience?

it's been a few hours and the screen remains unchanged. my only hope now is to wait for battery to completely drain out and unfortunately I just charged it last night...

Updated my 4S via iTunes on Friday.
Had to do restore cos phone was previously JB-ed already. Or actually can I just "upgrade" directly (noob here :p)?
I did get errors when i try to click "upgrade" though.. and was asked to do a "Restore" instead.
Anyway the version i got is 9B206.

Used absinthe 2.0 to JB.
Is there any benefits to re-JB using 2.0.1 , since there is supposedly a small bug fix?

Thanks.

i got that error too.
make sure you restore from backup if you want your photo camera roll back.

anyway here is my solution.
go download redsnow and jailbreak using that.
after that go into cydia and download rocky racoon for untethered jailbreak.
more troublesome but this method 100% works.

anyway not the best solution unless someone can find a fix for the crashing.

if you didn't encounter any error using 2.0 then don't bother using 2.0.1

Maybe you use redsnow 0.9.11b4 to jailbreak then under cydia install rocky racoon untethered 5.1.1. I think it should work.

9B208 is the latest version of iOS 5.1.1

Absinthe will not be able to jb 9B208.. will get the "this device is not supported" msg

i managed to dl a copy of 9B206.. and managed to JB my phone

for those people who're getting the no response error, don't restore all your backups to the phone 1st.

You should do a clean restore and update via the recovery mode. after that's done, do not restore from backup.. straight away JB using Absinthe 2.0.1

after the JB is done, can restore from backup already.. hope that helps!:s12:

I got the same problem as u .. first my absinthe 2.0.2 can't work .. stop half way while JBing ...
after a few try i found out that wherever there an incoming call my phone will re-start itself ... photo all gone ..
there how i solve it :

1) backup everything in itune (but if u already lose everything don't replace ur backup .. use your lastest backup)
2) reset ur phone to the factory setting ..(BTW I on iphone 4s (9B206)
3) configure it as a new idevice
4) JB it with absinthe ... wait
5) restore everything from itune .. wait ...
DONE .. everything back to normal only that you got a JB-ed idevice ...
took me 30 min to restore everything
hope this help .. enjoy ..
