Additionally, if you iPad 2 has a passcode lock you must disable it, and furthermore you will need to disable any current VPN’s setup on your iPad 2.

Recommendation: It is our personal recommendation that you restore your iPad 2 to factory settings on the iOS 5.0.1 firmware. This will dramatically reduce the chance you have of experiencing an error while Jailbreaking it.

Step 3) – Now you will need to search for CMD through your start menu, right click on it, and then click the Run as administrator option.

Step 4) – With the Windows command prompt interface now open you will need to type in the following command to get into the proper folder.

CD C:\cinject_0.4.3

Step 5) – After going into the proper folder through command prompt you will now need to type in another command as shown in the quoted area below.

cinject -i payloads/jailbreak.mobileconfig

Step 6) - Once you have typed the above command you will notice an install profile window appears on your iPad 2. You will need to tap the install button, ignore the password screen and tap next button on your iPad 2 to install this special Jailbreak profile.

Step 7) - After the profile has been installed you will need to type in another command into Windows command prompt.

cinject -j payloads

Step 8 ) – You now need to execute yet another command through Windows command prompt.

cinject -w

Step 9) – Now go into the Settings.app on your iPad, into the General Tab, then into the Network Tab, and finally you should see a VPN toggle.

iPhone 4S And iPad 2 Untethered Jailbreak To Be Integrated Into RedSn0w

Do you not like the new Jailbreaking tool Absinthe? Would you prefer to Jailbreak your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 Untethered from a familiar Jailbreaking tool like RedSn0w? If so, then you will be glad to know that it has been noted by the iPhone Dev-Team from their official blog, that the A5 Untethered Jailbreak will be integrated into the popular RedSn0w Jailbreaking tool once all the kinks have been worked out of Absinthe.

Once all the bugs in the flow are worked out, we’ll also incorporate it into the redsn0w GUI (but still leave the CLI freely available too). In order to maximize the chances of the jailbreak working for everyone, the redsn0w GUI will use native Apple iTunes libraries — this technique is slightly different than how the Chronic Dev GUI handles communications, and should provide nice combined coverage for all the odd computer configurations out there.

The iPhone Dev-Team have mentioned that when the A5 Untethered exploit is integrated into the RedSn0w GUI (graphical user interface) it will use a slightly different method for communications. The result should be a more stable Jailbreak, because it is using the default Apple iTunes libraries, and will also result in better coverage for all the odd computer configurations out there.

We will keep you updated when the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Untethered Jailbreak is integrated into RedSn0w. Until that time please stay tuned and leave any questions or thoughts in the comments section below…

Only moments ago we told you about some common mistakes that a lot of people currently make when Jailbreaking their iPhone 4S or iPad 2 Untethered with the new Absinthe Jailbreak tool. One error with Absinthe that is not in your control, however, is the empty camera roll error. This is because the A5 Untethered Jailbreak solution has not had all the bugs worked out of it yet. Thus, if your camera roll is empty or will not launch after Jailbreaking with Absinthe and you are wondering how to fix this camera roll error. You will be glad to know that Planetbeing has recently tweeted a temporary solution that should fix this camera roll problem.

As you can see from reading the tweet above, if your camera roll is not functioning correctly after Jailbreaking your iPhone 4S or iPad 2, this means the Jailbreak is in an incomplete state.

How To: Jailbreak iPhone 4S Untethered On iOS 5.0, 5.0.1 With CLI [Windows]

Earlier today we told you that the command line interface (CLI) version of the iPhone 4S Untethered Jailbreak was released for Windows. While most Jailbreaking solutions onwards from 2010 have generally been released with a GUI (graphical user interface), the initial release of the Windows A5 Untethered Jailbreak will require you to use the Windows command prompt. This is partly because the iPhone 4S Untethered Jailbreak has proved to be one of the most complicated Jailbreaks ever developed, and at this time the Dream Team are still trying to port Absinthe to Windows.

If you are not skilled with the Windows command prompt then you will be glad to know that in this how to guide from iJailbreak.com, you will learn how to Jailbreak your iPhone 4S on the iOS 5.0 or iOS 5.0.1 firmwares (9A405 and 9A406) using CLI on the Windows operating system.

Quick Fix For White Icons Bug After iPhone 4S, iPad 2 Untethered Jailbreak

If you have experienced white or blank application icons on your SpringBoard (homescreen) after Jailbreaking your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 Untethered on the iOS 5 firmware generation with Absinthe for Windows and Mac OS X. You will be glad to know that fixing the white icons error should be an extremely easy thing to do. This is because Planetbeing has tweeted a very quick solution to the blank icons error.

If you read the tweet above by Planetbeing you will realize that fixing the blank icons error is as easy as launching Cydia and then installing a free Cydia tweak like SBSettings. It is good to keep in mind, however, that while this solution should (should being the key word here) fix your white icon errors it is not guaranteed. If you are still experiencing the white icons after installing a Cydia tweak we suggest either trying to re-jailbreak with Absinthe v0.2 or restoring your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 and Jailbreaking it fresh.

Please leave your feedback on this solution to the blank icons error in the comments section below…

Yesterday we told you that the iPhone Dev-Team released a command line interface (CLI) version of their iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Untethered Jailbreak. As of the time of writing that article yesterday, CLI was only available for Mac OS X users.

Generally Jailbreak solutions are released with a GUI (graphical user interface), but as the A5 Untethered Jailbreak proved to be one of the most complicated Jailbreaks ever developed, it looks like Windows users will be stuck using the command line version of the tool until Absinthe is properly updated.
