I downloaded Absinthe and attached my iPhone 4s but Absinthe says this:

The attached device is not supported.

I am literally technology retarded so I have NO idea what I am doing wrong. Thanks!

are you guys stupid, as soon as absinthe 2.0.1 for 4s/4/3GS/touch 3 and 4 can all be jailbroke with the newley released absinthe today at the hack convention in Amsterdam, in itunes, back up your iphone, do a full reset on your phone to make the jailbreak g faster, plug it in, make sure you updated to 5.1.1, then it will detect your iphone, hit jailbreak, under 5 minutes your iPhone will be jailbroken, then restore your back up in itunes!!

You are using the wrong version of Redsn0w for your iOS 5.1.1 version. Find the latest versions and information on jailbreaking here:

I cannot jealbreak my iPhone 4S neither with absinthe or redsn0w…

Lemme give some more info about my iPhone.

iPhone 4S
iOS: 5.1.1
Modern Firmware: 2.1.12

And I use X-Sim to unlock my iPhone 4S (works flawlessly).

Now… I was wondering why I cannot do a jailbreak?
I don’t have anything on my iPhone and I did the iTunes restore, just in case.

Whenever I plug it to the absinthe or redsn0w (doesnt really matter) it sort of starts… then before “rebooting” it shows the apple and black screen… and I get my locked screen on the phone with “Activation Required”. So it screwes my X-Sim and asks for activation again…

Then when it requires a reboot, it doesnt do anything. I reboot it manually and process continues… then stops and restore some things and say try again…

Anyone can help me with this issue ? Thanks in advance.

If you are getting Run App as Administrator and are using Windows 7 make sure Under Computer Management that the Administrator user is not Disabled (This happens by default a lot), and then log in as Administrator rather than another user. This worked for me.

Ran the jailbreak, everything worked fine. Followed the step to click Jailbreak on my ipad2 and it took me to an Absinthe app. App opened but when I clicked jailbreak it says “Absinthe could not be opened.
The error was The URL can’t be shown.” So I followed the next step and went in my settings to turn the VPN on and it gives me an error of “A configuration error occurred.”
Can someone please help?!
restored the ipad and again the same ……..
