Absinthe, the green fairy alcoholic drink is updated to jailbreak iPhone 4S and iPad 2 the both A5 devices. Absinthe was released on 20th January which was on Friday, two weeks before. The iPhone 4S and iPad 2 jailbreak made a new record on the move it was download more than a million times in 24 hours. It had some problems, the first version and the server was down for many hours and much more happened actually. The first one was for the Mac OS X folks but after that the Window users were getting damn desperate/horny to jailbreak there A5 based devices and after one day on 21st January’s night the untethered jailbreak released on board for the Window users which also made record.

The Chronic Dev Team has just updated Absinthe for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux which makes the fourth release in the WWW. Below is the change log

Version 0.4

1. - Mac: added support for OSX 10.5, PPC and Intel CPU
2. - added consistency check on startup to make sure required files are in place
3. - Windows: fixed bug in payload generator that might cause a crash

Today’s morning turned out to be a good day for the iPhone4S and iPad 2 users on iOS 5 and 5.0.1 as the untethered jailbreak poped out  by the Chronic Dev Team. The tool is as new as the jailbreak for A5 devices. The Absinthe gets in to your A5 device and then the next operation is on your A5 device. The Window and Linux user are in the line for the release of Absinthe as it is only released for Mac OS X. The server is completely loaded from the morning and still is but as reported before the release of Absinthe, the iPhone Dev Team was also in the Dream Team and following the heavy release of Absinthe they have released Command Line Interface (CLI) to jailbreak the A5 devices which are the iPhone 4S and iPad 2.

It wasn’t an easy job to jailbreak the iDevices via Command Line Interface (CLI) as reported by the users who used it, The bad news actually is that this is too released for the Mac OS X users and the Window, Linux users are in the line. MuscleNerd has posted the commands and every information about to jailbreak via the CLI and it is as follow

As reported by users this take a lot of time same as the Absinthe is taking actually Absinthe is taking aorund 9 to 10 minutes to jailbreak the A5 devices. We are reminding you again that its not an easy process to on its the ‘Command” thingie and you may stuck on it rather crash everything .So stay tuned.

According to the promise of MuscleNerd regarding the new major update of Redsn0w, today iPhone Dev Team has announced the new version of Redsn0w 0.9.9b1 with new features, and little graphics and menu improvements. iPhone Dev team has again followed their old tradition of releasing jailbreak on Sunday-Monday, late last night they have released the tool. Redsn0w 0.9.9b1 is claimed to not to ask for the iOS iPSW files which means you not have download the complete iOS file for regarding firmware it will automatically gets from the Apple’s server and cache important files at once.

Redsn0w 0.9.9b1 is available to download for Mac OS and Windows both. At the time of beta release the new beta still not provides you untethered boot on specific iOS such as, iOS 4.3.5/4.3.4 and iOS 5 betas, but in near future like after the public release of iOS 5, iPhone Dev team will release their untethered jailbreak as they claimed couple of times on different occasions. Here is the complete changelog of the Redsn0w 0.9.9b1:

• uses DFU mode to try to automatically determine which device and FW you have

• fetches pieces of public IPSWs from Apple (once). Non-public IPSWs must be provided manually (once).  It then caches those pieces for future use.

• “Just boot” is a tethered boot.  Uses whatever “Preferences” you’ve set for boot logo and kernel boot-args

• “Pwned DFU” puts your device in a pwned DFU state for some of the iTunes stuff detailed below

• “Recovery fix” gets past 1015 types of errors (when baseband portion of restore fails).  Should work on iOS5 beta too

• “Select IPSW” is for picking non-public IPSWs, or overriding auto-detection

•“SHSH blobs” has a bunch of options…

• “Fetch” – fetch current PARTIAL blobs on device.  Should complete in under 10 or 15 seconds.  Puts the set of PARTIAL of blobs on your computer as a plist.  Checks if Cydia already has a full set for this device and build.  If not, it submits this PARTIAL set and returns Cydia’s acknowledgement or rejection

• ”Verify”  - cryptographically verifies existing blob files from either redsn0w, TinyUmbrella, or Cydia server.  You can select a whole bunch of blobs to verify at once if you want (like the TinyUmbrella directory)

• “Submit”  - both verifies and submits one or more blob files to Cydia.  This lets you copy your entire TinyUmbrella cache of blobs up to the Cydia server

• ”Query” – queries the Cydia server for all available FULL or PARTIAL blobs for a given set of ECIDs

• “Stitch” – stitches either FULL or PARTIAL blobs to a STOCK or CUSTOM IPSW

1. FULL blobs stitched to a STOCK IPSW gives you a completely self-contained signed IPSW that iTunes will accept without any tricks (no need to go into pwned DFU mode, no need to start TinyUmbrella TSS server, no need to redirect to Cydia server for blobs).

2. PARTIAL blobs stitched to any IPSW requires you to go into pwned DFU mode before running iTunes.  No need to start TU or use Cydia though.

3. stitching either FULL or PARTIAL blobs to a CUSTOM IPSW also requires a pwned DFU start before iTunes restores.  No need to start TU or use Cydia though.

4. stitching is NOT yet supported on iPhones (well, at least not tested).  Need to work out the baseband part of the restore process.

5. will eventually support fetching the blobs directly from Cydia instead of a file on your computer.

Ahh.. Confused with this lengthy thing? No Problem we will cover a complete How To tutorial on jailbreaking with this new Redsn0w 0.9.9b1 and will also clear out the new features in much more details. Keep in touch with us.
