I have an issue. I recently did a iso restore on my locked 4s fully unaware that i would no longer be able to activate it again as i don't have original sim to do so. So im stuck with the phone unactivated. I tried absinthe but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Do i need to have the phone activated first for absinthe to work ??

Using Windows 7 64-bit edition. I installed it on my iPhone 4S without a hitch, didn't even pick Absinthe to run as Administrator, just ran as normal. I am using an ATT-locked phone so I left it at 5.0. As precaution, I made sure my phone had no passcode lock. I also cleared all programs out of active memory on the iPhone and rebooted it. I rebooted my computer before running everything as well. I also deleted all my music off my phone before running the jailbreak since I heard some people were having issues with the MUSIC application if they didn't do this. Now, everything is working fine ;)

So i have windows 7 running on my pc and i restored my iphone and downloaded absinth for windows and the jailbreak seems to go well about 3/4 way through it will pop up with a message saying application stopped working, it does a little diagnoses and then says close program. this morning when i tried using the command line jailbreak that was released in the morning the same thing would happen when i entered the command to start the jailbreak. anyone have similar issue know a fix anything like that. thanks in advance and thanks to the "Dream team" for making this happen

Are you running the cmd or app as an administrator?
