iPhone 4S, 5.1.1 Jailbreak - Absinthe
Thanks to @kamikasky @stroughtonsmith @eriksmets for some good info.
Maybe someone will find this useful....
Seems when you get lockdown error you can't JB until you restore?
My device was in lockdown before trying any of this, last night I tried to restore so I would be ready for today and got the same error.
My device was updated via ota update from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1
The device is a warranty replacement I received yesterday.
Made sure I would only go a day or two with no JB ;)

OSX 10.8:
Absinthe won't open
Added a 12 to the Absinthe binary or sudo ./Absinthe-10.6
Absinthe opens
"Error detecting device (lockdown error -5)"
Tried Command line
"Bus error: 10"
Disconnected from the internet
Plugged in Device
Eject device from iTunes
sudo killall usbmuxd
cinject -Y payloads_rocky
Seems to work
After it's done no cydia
Rebooted again
Still no cydia
Won't let me restore in normal or DFU, says device not eligible for requested build
After I restoring in windows, the jailbreak works on 10.8 when I Added a 12 to the Absinthe binary or sudo ./Absinthe-10.6
