Finally was released the update of Absinthe, the tool used for the jailbreak of A5 devices (iPad 2 and iPhone 4S) on iOS 5.0.1, has just been updated to version 0.4.
We’ve been mightily impressed with this particular jailbreak, perhaps more so than those released previously. Not just because it managed to crack every device currently running Apple’s iOS 5.0.1, but it has been well-maintained ever since, with constant updates and maintenance releases ensuring the smoothest possible jailbreaking experience moving forward.
iPhone 4S, successor of iPhone 4 was launched back in October 2011, despite it was similar in design to iPhone 4 it came with radical internal hardware changes like running latest Apple A5 processor, which also powers Apple’s second generation tablet, iPad 2.

Few days ago we told you that the Corona 5.0.1 Untether Cydia package was released to Jailbreak the iOS 5.0.1 firmware Untethered. We even shared with you a complete how to guide on Jailbreaking your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad Untethered using the Corona 5.0.1 Untether Cydia package. One problem that I know a lot of you faced after Jailbreaking Untethered with Corona 5.0.1 Untether, however, was that certain Cydia tweaks would not function correctly. This is because the iOS 5.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak effected a very crucial extension library called launchctl that numerous Cydia tweaks and applications rely on.
Corona 5.0.1 Untether is a Cydia package to Jailbreak the iOS 5.0.1 firmware Untethered. The unique thing about the Corona 5.0.1 Untether Jailbreak is that it is the first Jailbreak based off of simply installing a Cydia package. Now, the reason you would want to use the Corona 5.0.1 Untether Cydia package is if you are currently Jailbroken on the iOS 5.0.1 firmware tethered and do not want to have to use a Jailbreaking tool like RedSn0w o.9.1ob1 or PwnageTool 5.0.1 to Re-Jailbreak your iOS Device. Corona 5.0.1 Untether supports all iOS devices that can run the iOS 5.0.1 firmware, except the iPhone 4S and iPad 2.
A jailbreak tool recently unleashed on Cydia can “untether” your existing (tethered) iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak, which means that you won’t have to do a restore, and that you won’t lose anything important, such as photos, apps, etc.
There are two ways to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 untethered. If you are already on a tethered jailbreak, you can just download a Cydia package, and if not you will just need to run Redsn0w on your computer.
NOTE: This will not work for the iPhone 4S or iPad 2, although those jailbreaks should be coming soon. Also, this will not work on iOS 5.0, so update to 5.0.1 before you try it.
