These are
instructions on how to perform an untethered jailbreak of your iPhone 4S using Absinthe for Mac.
Warning***: Before you continue make sure to do a backup of your device
in iTunes as you may lose your Camera Roll during this process.

Download the
latest version of Absinthe from
here.
Step Two
Double click to extract the
downloaded archive and launch the
Absinthe application.
Step Three
As prompted, connect your iPhone 4S to the computer via USB.
Step Four
Click the
Jailbreak button to begin
Step Five
The application will take you through several steps of the jailbreak: Sending
initial data, waiting for reboot, waiting for device to finish booting, Preparing jailbreak data, and Sending payload data.


Step Six
You will be informed that the jailbreak is 'Almost done'.
Step Seven
On your device, locate the
Absinthe icon and press it to complete your jailbreak. It could be on any homescreen.
If the server is down and you get an
Error establishing a database connection message then tap the Settings icon on your springboard and turn on
