The iPhone 4S and iPad 2 owners waited patiently and finally welcomed the Absinthe jailbreak software. Produced by the famous Chronic Development Team, and supported by the conjoined efforts of Pod2g and the iPhone Dev Team, Absinthe offers users the ability to jailbreak iOS 5 and 5.0.1 into an untethered state.

The supported devices and firmware for Absinthe are:
iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0, 5.0.1 (9A405 and 9A406)
iPad 2 Wifi/GSM/CDMA running iOS 5.0.1
A considerable amount of effort has been put in to ensure that Absinthe is of highest quality, but be aware that unforeseen bugs may exist. Due to the same reason, the development teams have used the backup / restore process within iTunes to install software. In other words; the jailbreak process is something which is alien to all. If you are an iPhone 4S owner who is ultimately looking to achieve a software based unlock, it is also worth taking the advice given by the iPhone Dev-Team and remaining on iOS 5.0 if possible.
We can’t emphasize more on the fact for iPhone 4S users who are willing to unlock their devices on iOS 5. It’s a safe bet that you do not update to iOS 5.0.1 in any case, as the unlock tool in development will not be compatible with iOS 5.0.1 upon release. Hence stay on iOS 5, if possible. Since the original release of iOS 5 is not being signed by Apple anymore, therefore, you cannot downgrade your iPhone 4S to iOS 5.0.1 along with your sacrificed baseband.
