How To Jailbreak Your iPhone 4S Using Absinthe For Windows

Jailbreaking your iOS device is necessary in order to make the most out of your smartphone or gadget. By jailbreaking your device, you are removing the limitations imposed by Apple on its devices running on iOS. With the process, you are able to gain access to the root of the system.

With jailbreak, you are able to download additional applications, extensions, and themes that are simply not accessible on the Apple App Store. This is most helpful if you intend to run software that is not authorized by Apple. The Digital Millenium Copyright Act legalizes iPhone jailbreaking in the United States. However, Apple reveals that doing so can “violate the warranty.”

One of the most common tools for jailbreaking an iOS device is Absinthe for Windows. This article will serve as a guide on how to use Absinthe for Windows for jailbreaking your iPhone.

Before everything else, you need to back up your data prior to jailbreaking the device. Ensure that you are knowledgeable with how to restore your data in case something goes wrong. Bear in mind that developers are not responsible for any damage that may happen to your device so do secure your data.
The next step is to reset the device to factory settings to remove all potential bugs during the process. Next, download the latest version of Absinthe to remove all possible errors and problems during update. When downloading is completed, extract all your files to the desktop.
Right click on the exe file and click Run as administrator.
When Absinthe is already running, plug-in your device and then click Jailbreak when your iPhone has been detected by the software. As you go through the process, a series of status messages will appear such as Waiting for reboot - not done yet, don't unplug your device yet! or “restore in progress.” Make sure that you don’t touch your device while the jailbreak is in progress.
When the process has been completed, you will be asked to unlock your screen. On your homescreen, a new Absinthe icon will appear. It may not necessarily be on the first page so scroll down to find it.
Your iOS device will reboot again and the Absinthe icon will disappear and will be replaced with the Cydia icon. That’s it your device has already been jailbroken.
