My JB IP4s on 5.1.1 went for a swim last weekend :( I replaced it today with a new 4s from the Apple store. It is on 5.1.1 can I JB this. I did the research but still don't have a clear answer.
 
So I just can't restore? I'm asking because I was going to get a IMEI unlock from eBay. So I can JB with REdsnow just don't restore correct?

You cannot re-restore until the new Redsn0w comes out (and you must have saved hashes.

Jailbreak your iPhone 4S with Absinthe 2.0.4

If you get an IMEI unlock, you do not need to restore. Once jailbroken, get SAM from Cydia (http://www.bingner.com/SAM.htm) and run it, Utility tab select deactivate the phone. Kill SAM in task manager.

Plug the phone into iTunes to reactivate - YOU MUST have a sim in it to re-activate. The unlock will attach.
