Just applied an iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak on iPhone 4S or iPad 2 and found out that the camera roll on your device is empty? Worry no more, here's how to fix empty camera roll error after an A5 device jailbreak.
The Chronic Dev Team has released Absinthe merely hours ago. This new tool comes with the ability to jailbreak iOS 5.0, 5.0.1 on iPhone 4S and iOS 5.0.1 on the iPad 2. Absinthe is by far the easiest tool made available for a jailbreak. Just one click of a button is required, rest of the process is done automatically.
No extensive procedures are required to be done in order to fix empty camera roll error. Legendary iOS hacker Planetbeing explains via Twitter that this issue is caused by an incomplete jailbreak. Basically Absinthe has not been able to fully jailbreak your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 untethered. You need to rerun the app twice. Once to fix empty camera roll error and the other to complete jailbreak procedure successfully.
At this point in time, Absinthe is only available for Mac. The developers assure us that a Windows and Linux release of Absinthe is coming soon. In the meanwhile, follow this tutorial to learn how to jailbreak iPhone 4S, iPad 2 untethered using Absinthe.
A word of advice for iPhone 4S owners: Don't upgrade to iOS 5.0.1 if you want to unlock iPhone 4S. The newer basebands in iOS 5.0.1 may not be compatible with the software based unlock being developed for iPhone 4S. Absinthe will jailbreak iOS 5.0 as well as iOS 5.0.1 only on the iPhone 4S, so keep it locked to iOS 5.0. Doing this will save you from any potential baseband related issues.
So this is how you fix empty camera roll error after an iOS 5.0, 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak on iPhone 4S and iPad 2. If you face any more errors, leave a comment below and we'll help you out.
