Yes, the windows version of Absinthe is here to jailbreak iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Absinthe was released a few hours back and we had been waiting for the windows version of it. We are posting here a simple guide to jailbreak your device on windows. It’s a bit different from just running a tool and hitting jailbreak but it would be fun.
Before you start, make sure you have iOS 5.0.1 on your iPhone 4S or iPad 2. This nifty little tool is called CLI, just follow the easy steps and be done with your iPad 2 or iPhone 4S jailbreak. Also, type all the commands and do not copy paste these into CMD.
STEP 1: Download CLI Absinthe for Windows and Mac OS X from here.
STEP 2: Unzip the folder named cinject_0.4.3 into the system folder, i.e. C:\.
STEP 3: Connect your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 to the computer. Go to the start menu, click on run and type in cmd.exe. (CMD + RUN)
STEP 4: In the command window, type: CD C:\cinject_0.4.3 as shown to get into the required folder.
STEP 5: You’ll now need to execute CLI. Do this by typing:
cinject.exe -i payloads/jailbreak.mobileconfig
Notice your iPad or iPhone screen will prompt for an installation, Tap Install and when it asks for a passowrd, just hit Next, Tap on Done to finish the installation.
STEP 6: Now execute cinject.exe -j payloads and wait for the backup.
STEP 7: Finally execute the command cinject.exe -w.
STEP 8: Get in your device and tap on Absinthe icon to get your jailbreak done in few minutes.
That’s right, easy 8 steps and you are done. Please let us know if you have any questions and we’ll try to help you out. Remember this is just a temporary workout, Redsn0w should be released in a day or two to jailbreak iPhone 4S on Windows 7 or XP.
