TUTORIAL - Jailbreak the iPad2 and iPad3 on 5.1.1 With Absinthe 2.0

Is is correct to say that Absinthe 2.0 is not suitable to jailbreak iOS 1.1 on iPad 1? It is only meant for jail breaking iOS 5.1.1 on iPad 2 and 3. If so , what is the jailbreak tool
For ios 5.1.1 on iPad 1 or is it still not out yet?

Thank you.

Sorry, iOS on first line should read ios 5.1.1 on iPad 1 and not iOS 1.1 on iPad 1.

Great !! It works on my iPad 3.

However, several applications don't work... maybe due to iOS 5.1


One of those is MAME4iOS... what a pitty..

This tool works on the iPad1 also. It was poor headline writing on my part to not include the iPad1.

You should be able to follow these instruction and jail break your iPad1 with no problems. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

P.S. I've edited the first post to emphasize the fact that Absinthe 2.0 works on the iPad1. Thanks for asking the question and so making me aware ...

Hey guys.

Can some one help me with some instructions how to jailbreak my Ipad 3 5.1(9B176) when i try to jailbreak with absinthe 2.0.2 it says device not supported :-(((

That version of iOS (5.1) is not supported by Absinthe. Absinthe only supports jail breaking the iPad3 on iOS 5.1.1. You have to upgrade to that iOS first, then you can jail break it.

Do you need to put it in DFU mode when updating if you are jailbroken? Or can I just update normally?

you cant just update a jb device. you must restore in DFU mode. make a backup first so you dont loose data

Works awesome!!

All you have to lose is a bit of time should it not work because you'll have to start from the beginning with a clean restore. Again, just make sure you have a good backup before you start any of the process.

But, hey, if it works - time saved! :)

Do us a favor, though? If it does work (or not), could you come back and let us know? May help others in making the same decision. Thanks.

Good luck.

Been busy and not looking forward to a 55GB restore. My comic collection and apps are all just right......

Not seeing how it would work, so weary. Might try tomorrow though.
