Jailbreak iPhone 4S, iPad 2 Untethered 5.0.1 On Windows Using CLI

Lota Man on January 21, 2024

Here's how you can jailbreak iPhone 4S, iPad 2 untethered 5.0.1 firmware on Windows. We will be using the advanced CLI tool that has been released for both Windows and Mac computers. Absinthe GUI is only available for Mac right now.

Earlier today the Chronic Dev Team released Absinthe jailbreak tool. This new and surprisingly easy jailbreak tool lets you jailbreak iPhone 4S, iPad 2 untethered by just clicking one button. For more advanced users, the iPhone Dev Team released CLI tool. It is command line based and is likely to freak out most new jailbreakers. Since Absinthe for Windows has not been released it, we can only use CLI tool to jailbreak iPhone 4S, iPad 2 untethered on Windows.

The iPhone 4S can be jailbroken untethered on both iOS 5.0 and iOS 5.0.1 firmware whereas the iPad 2 can only be jailbroken untethered on iOS 5.0.1. Make sure that you have properly updated your devices and have created a backup in iTunes before proceeding with this. Remove passcode lock from your device as well.

Once again, CLI tool is meant for advanced users. There's a chance that you will mess things up if you're not exactly sure of what you're doing. We will teach you the whole process in the simplest way possible, but its up to you if you want to jailbreak iPhone 4S, iPad 2 untethered on Windows right now or wait until Absinthe for Windows is released.

How To Jailbreak iPhone 4S, iPad 2 Untethered 5.0.1 On Windows Using CLI:

Step 1: Download CLI 0.4.3 for Windows and unzip the package in root directory, where Windows is installed, such as C:

Step 2: Go to Start menu and click on Run

Step 3: Type CMD.exe

Step 4: Type without quotes: "CD C:\cinject_0.4.3" and press enter

Step 5: Execute command: "cinject.exe -i payloads/jailbreak.mobileconfig" [Execute command means write in CMD.exe what's written inside quotes, without quote signs]

Step 6: Approve Install request on your device. Next > Next > Finish, no need to enter password

Step 7: Execute command: "cinject.exe -j payloads" Wait for backup

Step 8: Execute command: "cinject.exe -w"

Step 9: You will need to turn on VPN from Settings.app after the lines flashing on CMD.exe stop. The activity will begin again and you will see that Cydia has appeared on Home screen

That is all you need to do to jailbreak iPhone 4S, iPad 2 untethered on iOS 5.0.1 using CLI on Windows. If you face any issues or can't understand any part of the procedure, leave a comment down below and we will help you out.

Update 1: Facing FATAL(_LINE_): Assertion failed (1266): got == sizeof(size)
1226 error? Launch Settings.app on your device. Go to General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings. Then do the procedure all over again.

Cinject won’t even launch. Is this because I’m on a 64-bit PC?

Ok i fighured it out now. Now I’m up to the stage where I have just done step 8, and the vpn says “a configuration error has occured”, there is no absinthe.app on home screen?

Immediately after step 5:

The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.
Amit

worked for me! thank you very much.

Had errors establishing database as described in step 9 but I just went and turned VPN settings ON, it did not turn the settings ON and gave me an error, but during that process, it did something and my phone restart or something and I had CYDIA app.

All I can say is thank you very much. Very much appreciated.

Same here, Got stuck in the terminal, turned on VPN , device rebooted and got Cydia icon
Thank you! Hope all will go well now!

“A configuration error occured” - when turning on VPN? I’m in the UK, does that make a difference? The vpn will not turn on, even with syslog running.

John

Same problem! Can’t seem to find the problem…

http://twitter.com/BicesterCompute Bicester Computers

John, I just did it and here it is how:
Backup you iphone via itunes. restore and set it up as a new device. Do not restore at this point. Follow the instructions exactly as I say here:
1) Download the file above in step 3, then extract the folder to your Downloads. (Start Menu, your name, then on the left, downloads.)
2) There should now be a folder called: “cinject_0.4.3″
3) Open up CMD and type this (Without “” quotes..): “cd downloads”
4) Then, do: “cd cinject_0.4.3″
5) After so, type this command into cmd.. “cinject.exe -i payloads/jailbreak.mobileconfig”
6) On your device, click on install, and when prompted to type in a password, just click next, with no password in.
7) After so, type this command: “cinject.exe -j payloads”
8) Just wait a little bit. ( Don’t freak out, or jizz )
9) Now after a few minutes from step 8, now type this command: “execute the command: cinject.exe -w”
10) On your device, after doing step 9, toggle the “VPN” switch on in the settings, in about a few seconds after, it should say error.
11) Wait, then it should restart. Cydia is now installed, and your device is now free!
STEP 10 is very important!!
That’s all, now you can restore your data back.
Let me know if it works.

John

That’s great, got it working! Thanks so much!

Ha77man

I got it working. I backed up my phone the set it up as a new iPhone. Followed this tutorial and then restored. Worked fine
