Download Greenpois0n Absinthe iOS 5.0.1 A5 Jailbreak
For both iOS 5 and iOS 5.0.1. How to use:
- Download Absinthe A5 jailbreak tool, 10MB for Mac (Windows version available later)
- Backup iPhone
- Launch Absinthe, and click “Jailbreak”
Absinthe requires contacting Greenpois0n server to trigger the jailbreak, so if the server was down you can’t perform the jailbreak. @p0sixninja is working to solve it.
Camera Roll Empty After Jailbreak?
@planetbeing: “Camera roll will be empty if the jailbreak is incomplete. Rerun the app once to fix, and then another time to complete jb.”
iPhone 4S Software Unlock
If you don’t have a carrier unlocked iPhone 4S, you might want to keep your iPhone 4S in software unlockable condition in case of international travels:
- iOS 5.0 users should stay with it
- iOS 5.0.1 (9A405) users should stay with it (Baseband / Modem Firmware 1.0.13)
- iOS 5.0.1 (9A406) users should revert to 9A405 version of 5.0.1 right now because Apple is still signing both versions of iOS 5.0.1 at this time. That allows baseband downgrade to a “safer” 4S unlock BB / Modem Firmware. Guide coming soon.
You can find your version number by going into iPhone
Settings > General > About, and look at Version
There is no iPhone 4S unlock right now, but if you stay with the recommended iPhone 4S baseband you have a much higher chance of getting software carrier iPhone unlock.
Seems like the next Apple event appointment is taken: Tuesday, October 4th 2011 at 10 am Pacific Time at Cupertino… One missed call, or.. one new iPhone.
The Redsn0w software by DevTeam has always allowed you to jailbreak your iOS device, giving you complete control over your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch (see why you should jailbreak here). This morning, though, redsn0w version 0.9.8b1 was released with iOS 5 Beta 1 support, meaning you can now jailbreak devices and run Cydia apps on devices with iOS 5 installed. Here’s how to jailbreak iOS 5!
Warning: This is a tethered jailbreak, meaning that every time you reboot the device, you’ll need to use redsn0w again or else lose all your jailbreak data. Also, redsn0w will not carrier unlock your device, and if your device isn’t registered to run iOS 5, this guide won’t work for you. This should work on any device capable of running iOS 5 Beta 1 short of the iPad 2, which still hasn’t been jailbroken, but we’ve only tested it on the iPhone 4. Be careful!
Ingredients:
- A compatible iOS device with its UDID registered with Apple’s iOS Developer Program
- That same device updated to firmware iOS 5 beta 1
- A copy of the .ipsw file of the iOS 5 Beta 1 Firmware for your Device (can be downloaded from Apple’s Developer Site)
- iTunes 10.5 Beta
- redsn0w 0.9.8b1 for Mac.

If you jailbreak your iPhone, the first thing you ABSOLUTELY MUST DO is change the default filesystem password.
When you jailbreak, the filesystem’s password is set to the common password “alpine.” As people usually don’t bother changing this password after performing a jailbreak, it’s really easy for hackers to get access to any jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch on a public network.

NB: Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen announced that a mobile implementation of the full Flash Player 10 would be making its way onto several smartphones by October. In addition to Android, other mobile operating systems, including Windows Mobile, Palm’s WebOS, and Symbian have signed on. Missing from that list, to absolutely no one’s surprise, is the iPhone.
LOTS of big Lotus news today but the one that has my full attention is the release of 8.5.1 scheduled for October 12! This brings the much anticipated support for the iPhone. No, not “uber-ultra lite” – a real, integrated support of Lotus Notes email, calendar and contacts on the iPhone complete with all sorts of corporate security addressed.
One other really important announcement buried in the full announcement:
THE complaint of our users who have been using Lotus Traveler (on non-iPhone devices) has been the lack of a corporate address book. This statement suggests that the new release of Traveler addresses it for at least the iPhone (probably others as well).
Other BIG news included the announcement that Designer and Lotus Mobile Connect are now free (see your specific license details for exact details). Both are huge announcements as it further shows that Lotus Notes is a complete solution that addresses a wide variety of business needs – not just “that other” email platform.
1. Learn a bit about photo composition. The “rule of thirds” dictates that the points of power lie on the intersection of lines of a three-by-three grid on the screen. Try putting the center of your subject in one of those intersections, instead of dead center.
2. Don’t take pictures in direct sunlight. A little shade can soften hard shadows. Shooting on cloudy days can actually make for better portraits than sunny ones.
3. Check that the lens is unobstructed and clean. Some iPhone cases block the camera, even if they’re designed with a hole or windows for it. Use a lens-cleaning tissue to clean the lens, not your finger.
4. Switch to landscape orientation occasionally. Actually, that’s how you’d take pictures most of the time with a dedicated camera, and it makes sense for anything other than formal portraits.
