Step 1. First you will need to download the following:

  • Download Absinthe 2.0.4 for Windows HERE
  • Download Absinthe 2.0.4 for Mac HERE

Step 2. Once the download is complete you will need to find and extract the compressed file. Use the same procedure that you would for a normal zipped file. Once you have extracted all the contents save them somewhere easy to locate like your desktop.

Step 3. Connect the device you want to perform the Jailbreak on to your PC via the 30-pin connector cable.

Step 4. Next you will need to use the executable file you downloaded in step 1 to launch Absinthe. Once it is open you will be presented with an interface that has a ‘Jailbreak’ button.

Step 5. As long as your device is connected properly, you should be able to click on this. Click ‘Jailbreak’ to start the process.

Please note: It’s important not to touch your device during this time. It may look as though your device is performing a restore due to the new method that Absinthe uses. If you are curious about the status of the Jailbreak process you will be able to see a progress bar on the Absinthe GUI.

Step 6. When the process is finished, your devices lock screen will appear. You will also to be able to see that oh so wonderful little Cydia icon sitting on your homescreen.
