Hello, i got the Ipad 3 jailbroken with Absinthe. Two Days ago noticed that FaceTime and Message icons disappeared. They are not listed in settings and when I search with spotlight nothing's found. Any suggestions as I cannot do a restore cause apple stoped signing 5.1.1 and don't have blobs saved as I bought it 10 days ago?

Tested with absinthe 2.0.4 on iPad 2,2 running IOS 5.1.1 ended every time with Hmm something went wron, trying to recover. I found the solution here:
http://www.ios5jailbreak.org/forum/absinthe-2-0-error-something-seems-to-have-gone-wrong.html
If you force the iPad into DFU mode, do a Shift+Restore in itunes, and load IOS 5.1.1 from nothing then it works

First, backup your device with iTunes.
Then on the iPad, go to settings, reset, erase all data and settings
Try jailbreak again
I had an equivalent issue with my 12 out of 13,8 gb iPad wifi (very long first step ! Then error during the second)
After resetting, JB in less than a minute, flawless.
Then you restore from backup.

Jailbreak ongoing on iPad 2,1 iOS 5.1.1
First try after backup - error on step 5,2
Second try after cleaning precedent jailbreak files - error on step 5,2
Third try after erasing data and config on iPad - SUCCESS
starting Cydia (while starting iTunes then force closing it BIGFAIL)
ending with only four apps, youtube, video, todo, ... but not settings !
Restoring iPad
Do not be too eager, be patient !

iPad 3 global..."Recovery completed. If you want to retry jailbreaking, unplug your device and plug it back in."
I have tried different compatibility modes on my win 7 platform, ran as admin, and still get the same message. Anyone else getting this?

Worked fine for me, in an iPad 3 WiFi.
For some reason the "Music" app icon turned into a white square, though...

On all of my iPad jailbreaks I have seen multiple icons change to a blank icon...? It's just part of the jailbreak and if you respring you might see that it fixes that icon but then a different icon may go blank...? Not sure what the cause is but it does not affect the ipad in any way... Hope this helps ya?

I just went out and bought a Brand New iPad 3 w/ Verizon LTE (64gb) and it worked flawlessly! You might wanna do another restore to 5.1.1 and let absinthe do the rest... Just be patient and you will get your iPad jailbroken! :) Good Luck!
