Jailbreak 5.1.1 iOS version - Redsn0w vs Absinthe

Jailbreak 5.1.1 iOS version - Is it possible?

Although 5.1.1 iOS version is very old, many people still using it for many reasons, like better performance of their iDevice or compatibility issues with certain applications. The two major jailbreaking tools that can Jailbreak 5.1.1 iOS version are the Redsn0w and Absinthe. Both of
those jailbreaking tools can perform an untethered jailbreak to all iDevices with the 5.1.1 iOS version on them, and their developers managed to create a very quick and straightforward procedure.

Jailbreak 5.1.1 iOS version - Tethered and Untethered


Tethered jailbreak is not preferred by many people (only when there is not a different solution), because iDevices with a tethered jailbreak cannot boot normally. You will have to use tools that will help you to complete the rebooting procedure, like the "Just Boot" feature from Redsn0w.

The untethered jailbreak, which can be achieved by Redsn0w and Absinthe tools, is preferred by all users, because the iDevice can boot normally without any help from specific tools.

Since Redsn0w and Absinthe can perform a Jailbreak 5.1.1 iOS version untetheredly, a question arises of which tool to use.

What tool to use to Jailbreak 5.1.1 iOS version?

There is one major difference between the Absinthe and the Redsn0w jailbreaking tools. The Absinthe jailbreaking tool was created only to Jailbreak 5.1.1 iOS version and it does not include other extra features.

On the other hand, Redsn0w is more than a simple jailbreaking tool, it also supports many features that can fix specific Error Codes, Preserve your baseband during an iOS upgrade, Downgrade to previous iOS versions and many more.

If you are interested only to Jailbreak 5.1.1 iOS version then you can both of those tools, but Absinthe is able to jailbreak your iDevice in less time (only 1-2 minutes quicker). If you need to get detailed information for your iDevice or do any of the above actions, Redsn0w is the ideal tool for you. You can find both of those jailbreaking tools for FREE, from the official websites of their developer (iPhone Dev-Team and Chronic Dev-Team).
