Absinthe 2.0 has arrived!

Chiar în aceste momente are loc conferința HITB din Amsterdam unde celebrii hackeri care se ocupă de dezvoltarea soluțiilor de jailbreak pentru iDevice-urile noastre sus in anumite demonstratii.
Printre anunturile făcute, Chronic Dev Team a prezentat în premieră noul Absinthe 2.0 cu care putem face jailbreak untethered oricărui iDevice cu iOS 5.1.1
Intreaga prezentare a celor de la Chronic Dev Team o puteti descarca de aici.


Absinthe 2.0 a fost lansat în sfârsit si putem face acum untethered jailbreak oricărui iDevice ce rulează iOS 5.1.1 în doar câtiva pasi simpli.


Pasul 1:

Descărcați Absinthe 2.0:

Absinthe2.0 MacOSX (10.5, 10.6, 10.7)

Absinthe2.0 Windows (XP/Vista/Win7)

Absinthe2.0 Linux (x86/x86_64)

Pasul 2:

Conectați iDevice-ul la calculator și deschideți programul Absinthe 2.0 descărcat mai devreme. Presupunem că ați făcut backup iDevice-ului vostru, așa cum v-am recomandat mai devreme. Mergeți acum în Settings > General > Reset și alegeți opțiunea Reset all Content and Settings. Potrivit celor de la Chronic Dev Team, dacă faceți acest lucru vă asigurați că instalarea jailbreak-ului se va face rapid și fără probleme.

Pasul 3:

Apăsați pe butonul “Jailbreak” și așteptați câteva minute;

Pasul 4:

După aproximativ 5 minute, jailbreak-ul ar trebui să fie instalat iar voi să aveți un iDevice jailbroken untethered pe iOS 5.1.1. Puteți acum face restore la backup-ul făcut inițial pentru a vă recupera datele.

           How To Use Absinthe 2.0:

1. Make a backup of your device in iTunes by right clicking on your device name under the ‘Devices’ menu and click ‘Back Up’.
2. Once your backup is complete return to your device and go to Settings – General – Reset – Erase all Content and Settings. This will make the jailbreak process much faster.
3. Open Absinthe and be sure you are still connected via USB cable to your computer.
4. Click ‘Jailbreak’ and wait…. just be patient and do not disconnect your device.
5. Once jailbroken return to iTunes and restore your backup from earlier. Right click on your device name under the ‘Devices’ menu in the left panel of iTunes and click ‘Restore from Back Up…’ then select the latest backup you created before. (restoring this backup will return all the content previously on your device ie, apps, photos, etc.)
6. Thanks for using Absinthe, enjoy your jailbroken iDevice!

After copious amounts of work and many sleepless nights Absinthe 2.0 is finally here to jailbreak your device. This release has been a large collaborative effort between Chronic-Dev Team and iPhone Dev Teams (Jailbreak Dream Team)

Today is expected to launch untethered jailbreak solution for IOS 5.1.1 and here those who have worked on its development.


MuscleNerd has post his presentation slides at the Hack in the Box security conference via twitter today. His presentation at Hack in the Box is mostly about the iPhone’s baseband, the various unlock mechanisms developed by the community, and Apple’s technological response to their tampering.
At one point in the presentation, MuscleNerd mentions Apple’s recognition of the unlock community. Starting with the iPhone 4, Apple programmed the baseband to look for message tampering (the method used for iPhone 3GS carrier unlocks). Amusingly MuscleNerd notes that the debug log Apple left in the baseband contains typos referring to “tambering.” In order to combat tambering, the iPhone 4 contains a DEP mechanism dubbed “crossbar.” MuscleNerd and Planetbeing developed a workaround which they implemented in UltraSn0w, the details of which are in the iOS Hacker’s Handbook.

A particularly useful bit of info included in the talk is the chart on Baseband brickability near the end. To ‘brick’ a device is to render it inoperable, or ‘about as useful as brick.’ Although in the case of baseband bricking “only” means that WiFi, data, and bluetooth are inoperable.

Fortunately, newer phones like the iPhone 4 and 4S have basebands which are not brickable with erased or tampered bootloaders, making baseband unlocks on current hardware as safe as jailbreaking. The iPhone 3G and 3GS basebands are only brickable if one of the two bootloader pages are empty, and the original iPhone’s baseband can be bricked if the bootloader image crashed due to bad code. What this shows is that while Apple has made it harder to unlock the baseband, they’ve functionally made it impossible to absolutely break it through tampering.

Absinthe 2.0 will be the name of the new untethered solution, Pod2G preferring to keep the original name of a highly efficient jailbreak tool. Judging from the video images, it seems that Absinthe 2.0 will not require using the VPN function, process is as easy as with version 1.0.

Here's how you can prepare for the new untethered jailbreak solution for iOS 5.1.1

If you did not perform a jailbreak to your device then the situation is very simple because you just have to make a backup with iTunes / iCloud and information from your terminal will be saved. After making a backup you can use the Update button in iTunes, Backup option in iCloud, or OTA Update from your device (Settings>General>Software Update) for updating without deleting data from your terminal. Important to remember is that if you restore, NOT update, will delete all from the device, and the backup does not save all the pictures, messages or any applications installed from other accounts.

If you did make a jailbreak to your device and not interested to save all the applications or tweak’s downloaded through Cydia, then you can follow all the instructions above.

If want to save the applications from Cydia then you can use applications such as xBackup or PKGBackup to save and restore after reinstalling the packages. Pirated applications cannot be saved and reinstalled automatically after restore, so do not expect it. All pirated applications will be deleted during the update or restore process.

After making the iOS 5.1.1 update and have everything reinstalled just wait for Absinthe 2.0 and that's all.

Absinthe 2.0, first will work on all the Apple devices if they have installed iOS 5.1.1, excluding only Apple TV 3rd generation. Absinthe 2.0 will be also compatible with iOS 5.1, however, iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPhone 4S must be updated to iOS 5.1.1.
