Jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 (Inc. iPad 3) Now Available!

The Absinthe 2.0 tool crashed when I first tried JBing my new iPad on Win7. I had to enable WinXP compatibility mode and run as administrator to fix this.

Cydia now works flawlessly on my iPad 3 🙂
 
1. backup
2. restore to 5.1.1 using the full download of the firmware for your device (shift-restore?)
3. restore the backup
4. absinthe 2.0

it will not work with OTA upgrades
it will not work with unactivated devices.
IT WILL WORK if you have data on your device - And there is a cydia app to go from tethered 5.1.1 to untethered 5.1.1 so you don't have to wipe your data folks.

Works great!! Facetime over LTE = awesome, Tether over lte = awesome - Unlimited unthrottled AT&T LTE 45 down 25 up = awesome!

Is there an app through Cydia to allow unthrottled LTE?

I'm on Verizon however and already have Tethering built into my plan.

I think I may try this on an iPhone 4S.

How long does the process take? Can you hide the Cydia app from the list of apps?
 
should i do it? dont really see the point in upgrading from my jailbroken iphone 4S 5.0 to 5.1.1. however, pod2g said that there is much improved battery life so im thinking about it..
 
Is there a site that shows what jailbreak apps. work in 5.1.1? I'd hate to upgrade, jailbreak and find out the jailbreak apps. I have won't work w/ 5.1.1.
 
Ah yes, iFile works. Nice to be able to toss some movies and music onto an SD card instead of hogging up internal storage. Glorious.

Does anybody know of any JB apps that let you record photos and video from the camera directly to SD?
 
wow, sd storage on ipad3, how does it work, does it require a wire or an adaptor, pls explain i am confused
 
The program keeps crashing everytime I try it, about midway. I tried to run it in compatability mode with XP and in administrator but that still didnt work.

What kind of stuff can you do with that storage?

I have the camera kit and a 32gb SD card.

You can load it up with movies and they'll play through the default video app. You use iFile to navigate the card, click the movie you want to play, and it plays it straight from the card. It should work with music and photos as well. It used to work with third party video apps as well but not anymore, unfortunately. Just have to convert your stuff to iOS's default format.

Another neat thing you can do with iFile is copy files from the SD card to your iPad and vice versa. You can easily transfer files such as iWork docs and PDFs without having to sync through iTunes. It's probably the best jailbreak app out there. It and MXTube alone are the two reasons I jailbreak.
