81873

In this tutorial we are going to explain how to jailbreak iOS 5.1.1 using Redsn0w 0.9.12b1. You can also use Absinthe 2.0 as we tell you some days ago.

You need:

Have iOS 5.1.1 installed.

redsn0w 0.9.12b1:

Compatible devices:

  • iPhone 4
  • iPhone 4S
  • iPhone 3GS
  • iPod Touch 3G
  • iPod Touch 4G
  • iPad 1
  • iPad 2
  • iPad 3

TUTORIAL:

Restore your iPhone from iTunes with iOS 5.1.1

If it doesn't let you restore Open TinyUmbrella and uncheck the option "Set Hosts to Cydia on Exit"

Open Redsn0w

if you use Windows run it as administrator and in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2

press jailbreak:

Note: if you have an A4 device you can jailbreak in two ways, which we tell you about or by putting your device in DFU, use the second if you have a lot of information (music, videos, photos) stored on your iPhone.

The program will prepare your iPhone for jailbreak. 81874

The process will begin, it may take a few minutes, do not disconnect your iPhone.

81881

When you put Finishing up it will be about to finish.

81876

A prompt like this will appear:

    Is it compatible with the iPhone 4s? Yesterday I think you said this: "It is not compatible with A5 devices because Limera1n does not exist in A5."

      Why do you ask if you already say it yourself?

    2.    Dany said

      It also works with A5 chips.
      The only requirement to jailbreak a device with an A5 chip is not to enter DFU mode. As simple as that.

    3.    Dany said

      It also works with A5 chips, the only requirement to do it in a device with an A5 chip is not to enter DFU mode. That simple !!

      IF YOU CAN WITH ITUNES CLOSED AND ESPECIALLY AFTER RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR OR NORMAL. YOU SHOULD ONLY GIVE IT WHERE JAILBREAK SAYS IF YOU GET AN ERROR, PUT THE MOBILE IN DFU MODE. YOU TURN IT OFF, TURN IT ON AND RETURN TO GIVE IT IN THE SAME JAILBREAK AND IT IS ALREADY

    Good Morning. If I have iOS 5.1.1 updated from the cloud, I can't jailbreak Thanks.

  3.   Dany said

    Redsn0w 0.9.12.b1 also works with A5 chips, such as the iPhone 4S, the new 3rd generation iPad and the iPad 2, using a specially created method without going into DFU mode.

    I have an iPhone 4S with the jailbreak made with Absinthe and the YouTube application does not work. Does anyone know if doing the jail with this method works ??? Thanks.

    Hello again. To the question from before, "If I have iOS 5.1.1 updated from the cloud, can't I jailbreak?", I wanted to add if in the jailbreak process, do I need an internet connection? This question is because the internet that I use on the PC is the 3g of the iphone itself, I don't know if redsnow requires a connection when it comes to jailbreak. I need answers to both questions before I start doing anything. Thank you.

  9.   J said

    Hello, if or if you have to restore the computer before doing the jailbreak? regards

  10.   CHANNELS said

    I HAVE A DOUBT I did the jail when it just came out, with absinthe 2.0 and I get some 404 errors and things like that when updating some things at first I thought it was due to the saturation of cydia but I still have those errors, what should I do? keep waiting? or Redo the Jail with redsnow?

    And how do I release my iPhone 4 with the tickets that I saved with the old version of redsn0w with this version ???

    Hello good, someone knows when the ios 5.1.1 will be activated is that I use a gevay and I do not have the original sim.
    Thank you very much and greetings to all.

  15.   George said

    So if I don't want to restore, I can jailbreak my iPod 4G in DFU and it's going to be fast, no, and I don't lose anything, am I correct?

  16.   around said

    Hello, I get an error 2000, and with the absinthe it did not leave me any ideas ???

  17.   Luis said

    Iphone 4 you have to put it dfu mode so that you do not throw that error

  18.   Daniel said

    With Absinthe I get an error, the program just stops working and it crashes with Windows ...

    With Redsnow it gives me error 2000.

    I have a 4GB iPod Touch 9G (206B32) with iOS 5.1.1
    What I do? 🙁
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello everyone, I get the error 1604 and I already tried deleting all the programs and reinstalling and nothing, does anyone know how I solve it ??? Greetings (I do not have to climb the baseban)

    1.    al.ya said

      Download the iReb-r5, run it and you will be able to install the custom firmware from iTunes without getting that error. The same thing happened to me (I also keep the baseband).

      1.    Emix said

        Thank you very much, I could already solve it 🙂

        1.    al.ya said

          The iOS 5.1.1 eats my battery. I made a custom firmware with snowbreeze to maintain the baseband and restored a bakcup on the iphone. As it consumed a lot of battery I started again, this time with Redsnow, restoring as a new iPhone but I still have the same battery problem. I don't know if it has to do with maintaining the baseband. Does this happen to you? Can someone who has updated to 5.1.1 with iphone 4 tell me what version of modem you have? I stayed in 04.10.01 although I am about to update normal since ultrasnow has not updated versions of basebands for an awful lot.

    2.    Popi said

      Do it in dfu mode with redsnow

  20.   Titi said

    How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1 Costa Rica does anyone know

    1.    al.ya said

      Look for "ultrasnow", it is installed by cydia but specifically for the iphone4 I think there is only one version of baseband that can be released, 1.59.00. I'm not sure so look it up and confirm that your "modem firmware" matches that number. If not, you will have to look for a liberating card like Gevey but I have no idea about that.

    Could you explain to me how in windows I run it as administrator?

    1.    Tony said

      right mouse button will make you run as administrator

  22.   Tony said

    Well, on my ipad 2 when it reaches 97% it tells me error 2000 and there it stays and with the absinthe I don't even tell you I have everything done with 5.1.1 and after restoring it from the factory, I don't know what to do anymore?

    1.    al.ya said

      Have you tried googling "ipad error 2000"?
      Most error problems are solved this way. Luck.

  23.   jesus said

    hello, I need to know how to do it on a 3gs with 6.15 and that needs release, I can't install the official 5.1.1
    Thank you

  24.   jasmine said

    Can someone help me, it says that it gives me error 3655! what ago ??

  25.   Pablo said

    Hello good, I am desperate, someone knows when an iOS 5.1.1 will be activated.
    Greetings to all

  26.   Sergio said

    Hello everyone.
    I have the iphone4 with firw 5.0.1. Do you think it is worth updating to 5.1.1 or do I wait directly for ios 6? It is for not having to do everything again! and Thank you Gonzalo for everything!

    1.    Claudio said

      look, I passed from 5.0.1 and there are no significant changes ... only the camera button on the lockscreen that you do with a tweet called cameragraber, the rest is the same, the battery lasts the same ... I would say wait ...

  27.   Sergio said

    Thanks Claudio. It's what I was afraid for.
    All the best

    Using this procedure I managed to install jailbreak on my iphone 4S but when trying on the ipad 2 it gives the error 2000. Does anyone know how to fix it? I tried putting in dfu mode but I can't do it, I think I have wrong instructions to put in DFU mod.

  32.   Luis said

    Hello I have a question, I have an iPod Touch 4g that obviously has an A4 chip, and seeing the comments I got this question: Do I have to put the iPod in DFU mode or restore it? please help.

  33.   Blas said

    And the reboot ??????????

    Alex, the same thing happens to me. What do we do ? do we erase everything? if we do this with this redsnow we will no longer have to reboot?

  38.   uziel said

    Hello, I have an ipod 4g 5.1.1 and I jailbroken it and then I was using it all day, it's perfect but when I turn it off and turn it on again, it does not enter cydia or any application downloaded from the cydia programs in the only way to make them work is to open redsnow and enter just boot and do that every time I turn it off ?? !!! Thank you

  43.   Julian Montero said

    Hi, I have a problem, I tried JB my ipad 3 (5.1.1) with Absinthe 2.0.4 and Cydia appears but it does not run .. if I go back to Jailbreaking it with redsnow, will I fix the problem?

    1.    julian said

      After performing the jailbreak preferably with redsnos, look for the JUST BOOT option in the extras and that's it
