Today is that day, as we are seeing the rollout of the new Chronic Dev Team tool, Absinthe. The initial release is for Mac OS X computers with the Windows and Linux version just waiting to be packaged before it can be given to the world. See below for a step by step guide on jailbreaking your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 using Absinthe.
Absinthe is a GUI tool which is intended to provide an untethered jailbreak for the following devices and firmwares:
iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0, 5.0.1 (9A405 and 9A406)
iPad 2 Wifi/GSM/CDMA running iOS 5.0.1
Absinthe iOS 5.0.1 Jailbreak For iPhone 4S/iPad 2
NOTE: Please make sure you take a full back up of your device before beginning. The Absinthe program uses a new jailbreak technique, and although no problems are expected, the development teams waive any responsibility if anything does go wrong.
Step 1: Download the compressed Absinthe package. Extract all files and run the executable file. Download link in the end.
Step 2: Connect your iPad 2 or iPhone 4S to your Mac or Windows computer using a USB cable and launch the Absinthe tool and you will be presented with a GUI as shown below:
Step 3: You will notice a button on the right hand side of the Absinthe program which says ‘Jailbreak’. Once your device is connected, click that button to begin the process. What looks like a restore will begin on your device with the words ‘Restoring in Progress’ being present. Please do not touch the device, the process can be quite time consuming.
Step 4: Once the restore is completed, unlock your iPhone / iPad and look for the ‘Absinthe’ icon which will now be located on your device’s Springboard. Tapping the icon will momentarily launch the GreenPois0n website, before causing your device to reboot. After the reboot is completed, the aforementioned Absinthe icon will now be replaced by a beautiful brown Cydia one.
NOTE: If you are receiving an ‘Error establishing connection’ message at this stage, exit to your Springboard and be patient. The website servers are experiencing a tremendous increase in traffic so just keep trying to launch the Absinthe ‘app’. Alternatively, as a quick fix you can head over to the SETTINGS > GENERAL > NETWORK > VPN entry and then toggle VPN to ‘on’. This will cause an error message to be generated, which will reboot your device when dismissed. You can then launch the Absinthe icon again.
Step 5: The steps are all over. Your device is booted into a jailbroken state. You can now launch Cydia and follow through the process of setting up your favorite tweaks and extensions.
As you can see, the process has been made as simple as possible using this new powerful tool. The steps ands relatively easy and there isn’t much work involved, but remember to make that important back up.

Debug And Diagnose iPhone 4S And iPad 2 Issues After Jailbreak Using CLI Tool
But as the old saying goes, "All good things come to those who wait", and the waiting has paid off as the anticipated iOS 5.0 / 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak for A5-powered devices is eventually upon us. As expected, the jailbreak will provide all of the untethered goodness we have come to expect on the iPhone 4S and iPad 2, so be prepared for long delays in Cydia due to the increased server load.
One likely result of this jailbreak, and something I am personally looking forward to is the influx of tweaks we are bound to see in the coming weeks and months which hook directly into, and extend the functionality of the intelligent voice assistant, Siri. Thanks to SiriProxy in the past, we’ve come to see some amazing feats being performed by Siri, but lets just consider that a thing of the past thanks to today’s amazing untethered jailbreak release for the iPhone 4S and the mighty iPad 2.
You can see our tutorial on how to jailbreak your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 using the Absinthe tool by the Chronic Dev Team, the rest of this article will feature of the new Command Line Interface (CLI) tool which has been supplied by the iPhone Dev Team for debugging and diagnosing issues if anything goes wrong. The CLI tool can also execute the full jailbreak process if required, but with twenty options built-in, it acts a powerful troubleshooting utility
The OS X version of the iPhone Dev Command Line Tool can be downloaded from the link posted at the end, with the corresponding readme information also being available; which outlines the options available to debuggers and tinkerers. If you intend on using the iPhone Dev CLI then make sure that you are familiar with the risks involved and follow all advice from the authors.
If you have viewed the included documentation, you will be able to see a number of options available, and the increasing complexities of the more advanced options, users would benefit from having some previous command line experience. The CLI tool is generally intended to be used for debugging purposes and could cause problems if used without any proper knowledge. The documentation provided, although only one page, provides a number of example usages for the CLI.
