    Dont forget signal problems after jailbreak too.

    • kim says:

      I has this problem and then tried to turn my phone off and on and now its stuck on a apple logo

      • Joe says:

        Try doing. Soft reset hold the home and power button if that doesn’t work try and put it in dfu mode and try restoring the phone

      • crzydrvr says:

        I had this issue as well. I had to restore my phone twice. I don’t know what makes it do it. The jailbreak works fine and i can respring through SBSettings but if I do a hard reset it freezes at the apple. How do I fix it?

    calculator dont work properly on my iphone 4 after jailbreak

  3. Eddie says:

    And safari isn’t working either I try many things but finally I restored and did jailbreak and now it’s working fine

  4. Alfred says:

    Congrats dev team, when will be the unlock solution for iPhone 4s

  5. Amine says:

    I had a lots of issues for begining to end.
    The best way i found to do it is.
    1-Backup into iTunes localy (not iCloud)
    2-Rest to factory (in iPhone)
    3- Jailbreak with CLI (DOS based)
    4- Switch on VPN if an error comes at the end of the jailbreak

    All other ways and fixes failed

  6. Leon says:

    Thanks dev team it ‘s very smooth jailbreak take me just 10 m completed install cydia

  7. Joe says:

    Anyone else havin a problem were after u install a app via AppStore,cydia or installous
    Ad sheet pops up with other (hidden) icons like setup

    • Jwatt says:

      Yeah I am having the same issue however I believe it is due to the restore process they used to achieve the jailbreak. However if I respring it goes away have you tried this? also did u do the DOS based jailbreak or the GUI tool?

      • Joe says:

        Did the dos based jailbreak. I’m gonna override it with the GUI version and see If there’s any difference. I know they made minor tweaks with that version

    • johnny says:

      same problem here, Jwatt is right tho, just respring they go away, kind of a pain but it works every time.

      • Jwatt says:

        Also do you guys happen to use cloud back up? Because I do and I think that maybe why the icons show up. Maybe a back up to iTunes instead of the cloud would fix this?

      • Johnny says:

        Yep i use iCloud as well, the icons popping up don’t really bother me tho the 4s resprings in like 2 seconds, nothing like older iphones where ya gotta sit it down and walk away for a bit lol, atleast in my experience.

      • Jwatt says:

        Yeah haha that is true this device is not even slowed when jail broken in my opinion. Yeah exactly I can deal with extra icons that go away with a respring. Just glad I don’t have some of the other problems people seem to be having lol.

      • Johnny says:

        Lol right, i keep installing tweaks and other stuff waiting to see if it lags, havent found anything except the bluetooth mono toggle, for some reason it severely lags my phone, may just need to be updated tho, i really wanna get video wallpaper again but figured it would kill my battery even faster.

      • Joe says:

        Yea some people are complaining about bricked phones and respring loops only issue I really have is some battery drainage

      • Johnny says:

        I never understood the “bricked iPhone” or iPod i have been jailbreaking since the first ipod touch and even as careless as i am with messing up, and having to re-jailbreak i have never been able to not restore, maybe im just lucky tho. I did lose a few contacts on gamecenter this jailbreak tho, but it may be from something totally different.

      • Jwatt says:

        Yes I’m pretty sure bricking your phone is almost impossible you are always able to restore haha. Yeah actually I think my battery stayed the same with jailbreak. But yeah the Siri tweak is awesome u can call up apps from siri.

      • Johnny says:

        Siri tweak is def awesome, i think its whats supposed to be coming from the 5.1 update, I have always been able to get atleast a days use out of my 4s, about 7 hours total use and 12 hours or so standby. With about 30 to 40 % left at the end of the day, but i went thru and shut most of the location services off, and i shut wifi off when i leave my house, and depending on what game im playing i keep my brightness pretty low.

      • Johnny says:

        Which reminds me anyone wanna do some online gaming add me on gamecenter lol johnnyhill1982

      • Joe says:

        Siri tweak is the reason I jailbroke best tweak ever battery has been pretty good I realized my Bluetooth was on along with location service so with that off battery is normal And it’s possible to brick your phone but u gotta make some serious mistakes to do it

      • Johnny says:

        Hmm scary, hope i never have to go down that road lol, did have a couple stuck at boot logos, but nothing a restore wouldnt fix.

  8. Richard Escobar says:

    How does Tiny umbrella works? I try downloading it but never works for me. Do I have to pay for it or is it for free as they say? I tried I faith works fine. Can someone answer me and tell me how does it work ?

  12. Brandon says:

  13. Funker48 says:

    Thanks Johnny on the battery percentage. Never recall ever turning it off. Next task is installing Siri. Hope it goes OK

  14. joey57 says:

    did this yesterday only had to do it twice and it’s working fine no probs at all.hats off the team.only had trouble finding installous.don’t disconnect usb cable until process is compleated.

  15. Vj says:

    hello.. is there an unlock solution now for iPhone 4s?? thank you..

  16. maki says:

    I jailbroke my iPhone 4S using absinthe.. It worked to perfection!! The problem was that I could not download installous using cydia.. I searched the Internet for solutions and one was to reinstall cydia. I managed to uninstall my cydia but I can’t find a way to install it back. Right now, my phone is jailbroken but without cydia, so how can I get cydia back into my phone???

    • Richard Escobar says:

      Most of the ploblems are a non readers issue, Open Cydia , Manage , Sources, Edit, add, http:// cydia.hackulo.us/ and then find instalous install and thats it. The Jailbreak is good is us that need to learn how to do it right. Soon we will all be pros

    • Johnny says:

      Unless you downloaded Openssh, iFile, you would be better off restoring and re-jailbreaking, probably the last thing you wanted to hear, but its the only for sure way I know of.

      • maki says:

        I haven’t so I guess I’ll have to restore… But when I try to restore, iTunes begins downloading the firmware 5.0.1 before restoring but I am already on that firmware.. So is there a way to skip the download part and go directly to restoring or is it a must to download???

  17. JM says:

    My iphone 4s is not yet activated. Will jailbreak work?

  18. Alfred says:

    The same with me but we will wait maybe dev team will unlock it

  19. Tony says:

    Always get an Error: You must run this app as Administrator even though the absinthe program is chosen to be run in Administrator mode (Right click absinthe and left click on Run As Adminstrator) under Windows 7.
    Anyone has encountered this problem?

    • Tony says:

      Works now like a charm using another PC with Windows 7 Home Edition! Was able to completely install and run Cydia on my IPAD 2. Also able to restore original apps and files.
      For some reason on the other laptop that I was initially using, it was using a Windows 7 Enterprise edition – so it could be a PC security settings issue.
      Thanks again for the great job – Chronic-Dev Team and users who posted on possible solutions!

  20. Sam says:

    After jailbreaking with absinthe the battery performance degraded.

    Another issue that I have is the voice recognition failed to work while in text message mode. It started to work again after I’ve closing and opening the app. Is this a glitch? Any solution? Thanks.
