How to jailbreak your iOS device on 5.1.1
With your device connected to your PC, open iTunes and right-click on the device you want to jailbreak. Select Back Up from the menu. Wait for the backup to finish and then close iTunes.Screenshot by Jason Cipriani/CNETOn your iOS device, go into Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.

Select the backup you just made. Let your device restore and finish syncing before disconnecting. Once the restore is complete, you'll have a jailbroken device, complete with all of your apps and information as it was before you began.I had been trying to get the jailbreak to work on my Verizon iPhone 4S all morning, with no luck. Then I took my experience to Twitter, and was sent a link to this post on Reddit. If you're having issues with the instructions above, give the Reddit link a try. It worked for me. If you were using a tethered iOS 5.1.1 jailbreak, open Cydia and search for "Rocky Racoon 5.1.1 Untether" and install it.
