So it's finally here, an untethered jailbreak for for the Iphone 4S and Ipad 2 running on the latest Apple firmware 5.0.1. For those of you that don't know the untethered jailbreak means that when your device is turned off or runs of of battery it will not need to be rebooted from your Pc or laptop like the tethered version requires.

1. Download Absinthe

The first thing you’ll want to do is get the Absinthe tool. It can be downloaded from HERE for Mac and HERE for Windows and HERE for Linux.

After downloading the package, unzip.
2. Backup your device in iTunes

This isn’t technically necessary, but it’s probably wise to backup your device before jailbreaking.
3. Run Absinthe

After connecting your device to your PC via USB, simply open the Absinthe jailbreak tool. It should detect your device and give you the option of jailbreaking it.

Press “jailbreak” to begin the process. It should take you through several steps (all of which will take some time), as seen in the screenshots below:

Your device should then reboot, and return with a Cydia icon in its place. You’re jailbroken! You can check out our list of the best Cydia apps to help you get started.

* If you get an error when opening Absinthe, it’s because the Greenp0ison servers are down. You can try turning on VPN (Settings>General>Network>VPN and selecting the “jailbreak” VPN). This shouldn’t be necessary anymore.
