Update 8 : Windows Version finally added, Enjoy !!!

Update 7 :

If the Absinthe webclip shows “Error establishing a database connection”, please go to Settings, turn on VPN and wait instead.
Toggle VPN only AFTER Absinthe says it’s done, or it will not work.
VPN SHOULD error and then reboot soon. If it does not, rerun Absinthe!
If you get a strange problem, we advise you to restore your iPhone with iTunes, if you can (i.e. if you’re not on 5.0 waiting for an eventual 4S unlock).

Update 6 : @planetbing Camera roll will be empty if the jailbreak is incomplete. Rerun the app once to fix, and then another time to complete jb.

Update 5 : @idownloadblog The Absinthe jailbreak for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 was released a few minutes ago. Of course, we were right on it and we already posted a tutorial on how to jailbreak the iPhone 4S or iPad 2 using Absinthe.
While I haven’t had any problem running the jailbreak – well, I had it a few minutes before everybody else – it appears that some users are having a problem when launching the Absinthe app installed on their device, which returns an “error establishing a database connection“. We have a fix for that… iOS hacker PlanetBeing who helped develop the jailbreak tweeted a simple fix for the “error establishing a database connection”. Apparently, all you need to do is go to Settings > Network > VPN > ON. The VPN connection will most likely give an error and your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 should reboot shortly after. Once it’s rebooted, try launching the Absinthe webclip again.  Let us know if that works for you.

Update 4 : @comex Anyway, your best bet is always to do a full backup first. Now back to my regularly scheduled not tweeting about jailbreaks :p

Update 3 : @planetbeing Just reboot and redo the jailbreak if you have problems.

Update 2 : @jailbreakcon If you’re photos have gone after using #Absinthe, try a quick reboot. Should fix the problem.

Update 1 : @comex Like Spirit of old, the latest jailbreak forgets to set the “don’t delete the camera roll” flag, …But apparently this is only an issue if the jailbreak is interrupted.
