Everyone is hammering Cydia that downloading Mobile Substrate is crawling

Windows version has been released already but CLI only...
No GUI

Lets all be ready for dumb questions on how to get it done :3
I'm pretty sure people aren't bothered to read their(dev team blog) comments section

If the exploit use backup and restore method, then the time to finish the jailbreak depends on how many data to backup and restore. Better do it kosong and make sure the device has sufficient storage space.

after this many shops will sell th jb. =='

I suspect that's why my JB for the 4s and iPad 2 was fast. For the 4s, I restored the iPhone and for the iPad 2 I upgraded the iPad 2 from 4.3.3 to 5.0.1 which means it was kosong to start with.

Funny enough Cydia was superfast since early this morning. I haven't had any issues with Cydia crawling.

Yeah your 5-7min is super fast... my 32GB iPad took like 20-30min, I was afraid it was stuck some more...

it took me approximately 5 mins on my iPad 2 32GB.

If this is the case then I strongly recommend restoring your iPhone 4s first (clean restore) which would require you to download the firmware files from Apple and doing the Shift + Restore before embarking on the Absinthe jailbreak. A huge restore file would take a long time to jailbreak as the exploit the dream team is using is via the backup/restore injection vector.

My iPad 2 was super fast as well but that was because I had to upgrade the iPad 2 to 5.0.1 from 4.3.3 and it was really kosong as I set it up as a new iPad 2, jailbreak and then restore the backup.

My Apps were not synced though so had to manually synced them after the backup restore.

probably a wise choice by the Dreamteam to release the Mac version first cause they know Cydia server will be hammer hard for at least 2 days... if they release Windows version as well, the server gonna burst...

First time use CMD?

Let´s go.

First, ensure the compatible Firmwares:
iPhone4S: 5.0 (9A334), 5.0.1 (9A405) and the “other” 5.0.1 (9A406)
iPad2: 5.0.1 (9A405) <--- ONLY WIFI, NOT 3G

Download, version 0.4.3, Read post 3.

Unzip files into root dir, like C:

1. Press, in your keyboard WINDOWS+R (Run windows) and type: "CMD" (Without quotes), and press ENTER
2. On windows is open (BLACK WINDOWS) type the commands withouts quotes: "CD .."
3. "cd cinject_0.4.3"
4. Now your machine will stay that way: (C:\cinject_0.4.3>) <-- DO NOT TYPE THIS
5. Run first command withou quotes: (Submit by CAPSLOCKON)
a. "cinject.exe -i payloads/jailbreak.mobileconfig"
- IMPORTANT. On device, accept the script, and next next finish (without password)
6. "cinject.exe -j payloads"
- IMPORTANT. Wait the backup. Sugest try with blank A5 device.
7. "cinject.exe -w"
8. Try to start Absithe, if you get error database, go to setting and turn on VPN and try again

Good luck
