Replying to #3

so u mean i cant unlock it since 4gs (a5 devices) donot support The ultra sn0w jailbreak?

Replying to #4

Yep. A5 devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4S) have new code. For a unlock, Ultrasn0w needs to be re-coded to support the 4S lock.
An unlock should be available soon.

A problem has occurred with my Mediafire and a few links have been deleted. I'll get them working ASAP.

Update:
[*] Updated Absinthe to 0.4
[*] Updated Redsn0w to 0.9.10 b5
[*] Added new announcement
I am working on an unlock tutorial to add. It should be done later today.

Aiether i dont think you should name it after your self, since you really havent done anything, maybe that could be the reason your files got deleted, give credit to their respectable owners/devs

Replying to #8

He wrote the tutorial, therefore he's entitled to give himself credit for that. the files getting deleted is highly unlikely to have any relation to him writing this tutorial.

Replying to #9

yea but still, The file belongs to the Creator

It was my fault the files got deleted.I deleted them myself, but when I tried to upload the newer versions, it stuffed up. They're fixed now.

Redsn0w 0.9.10b5c has been released. I'll add the link soon aswell as a Unlock Tutorial.
