Developed by Greenpois0n, Absinthe for Windows will work with the iPhone 4S running on iOS 5.0 and 5.0.1, as well as on the iPad 2 running on iOS 5.0.1. As with all the other jailbreak solutions that are out there, you proceed at your own risk and discretion. I imagine it’s only a matter of time before Apple pushes out a software update that breaks this jailbreak too. It’s always been a cat-and-mouse game with these people.

In any case, the direct download link for Absinthe Windows can be found on greenpois0n.com. Enjoy!

Video is about the mac version but essentially is the same thing.

You might have wondered how it is possible for pod2g to have an untethered 4S device when dev teams still haven’t released tools to achieve this at home.

Wonder no longer, as Pod2g explains it all.

In his own words:

The exploit I used to inject the untethering files to the 4S relies on having a developer account, and can’t be released publicly.

It’s the same reason why @MuscleNerd has an iPad 2 tethered jailbreak but couldn’t distribute it.

So, we need to find a distributable exploit to remount the system partition read/write and to set Corona files at the correct places.

So in short, due to the need for a developer account the work involved really can’t be distributed without an exploit.
