26 Jan 2012 | Jailbreak | Regina Falangi on Google+

Last week we got a splendid gift from jailbreak developers, who offered us the first jailbreak for iPhone 4S and iPad 2. In this article you are going to read main tips for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 jailbreak troubleshooting. The first thing you should remember – is backing up your iOS setup and data to iCloud or iTunes. Thereby, you’ll be able to restore your iOS setup and data, if something goes wrong during or after jailbreaking.

The other thing, which is important to be done – is saving your device’s SHSH blobs (unique identifier for Apple) with TinyUmbrella on the desktop of your computer. It is important, because you cannot downgrade iOS versions without SHSH blobs, as Apple closes the singing window.

If you don’t want to restore your device totally, you can reset all settings in the Setting app. This way you will restore all iOS system defaults and keep your personal data. Before jailbreaking your iPhone 4S or iPad 2, check whether you have the latest version of iTunes. And it is better to restart your computer and iOS device before running Absinthe.

Windows users should run Absinthe as administrator, which doesn’t concern Mac users. On the Mac, you have to open Absinthe app and wait until the recognition of your iOS device. But you should remember, that Adsinthe app works only with a5-based iOS devices – iPhone 4S and iPad 2.

Another thing, connected with iPad 2 and iPhone 4S jailbreak troubleshooting, is that jailbreak won’t work properly, if your passcode on iOS device or any VPN setups in the Setting app are turned on. Make sure to turn all them off.

Don’t worry if your Camera Roll emptied itself, it can probably mean that jailbreak hadn’t finished yet. Rerun the Absinthe and finish the jailbreak. Reboot the iOS devices, if Absinthe crashes, if it still acting up, restart the computer. This iPad 2 and iPhone 4S jailbreak troubleshooting will help to fix the error.

We don’t advise you to restore Absinthe, only to change it into new version. There is no use to restore everything, until it works. But, if you still have problems, you can reinstall Mobile Substrate in Cydia. These are the main tips for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 troubleshooting. We hope, that these advices will help you to find the solution, you were seeking for.
