Troubleshooting

  • Camera roll will be empty if the jailbreak is incomplete. Rerun the app once to fix, and then another time to complete jb.
  • If the Absinthe webclip shows “Error establishing a database connection”, please go to Settings, turn on VPN and wait instead.
  • The VPN connection will give an error. This is normal. A reboot should happen a few moments after the error.
  • Just reboot and redo the jailbreak if you have problems.
  • When jailbreaking: Do not have a passcode set. Do not have your own VPN setup (Absinthe needs to setup its own).
  • If Absinthe crashes, reboot your DEVICE and try again.
  • Toggle VPN only AFTER Absinthe says it’s done, or it will not work. VPN SHOULD error and then reboot soon. If it does not, rerun Absinthe!

Have ipad 2 running 5.0.1 plugged in and backed up..but the jailbreak button in Absinthe is un-clickable?

kaung January 22, 2012, 12:02 pm

If you have the passcode set for unlock your iPad. Then you need to disable passcode locked option from setting. After you done that you should be able to click the jailbreak button

Can somebody explain why Absinthe is not working on mac osx 10.5.8 ???

sillster January 22, 2012, 12:42 pm

Same here. I click on Absinthe and nothing happens. Are we not to set up anything? Because when you unlock the ipad for the first time after one of the reboots, it makes you go thru the screens where you to set up cloud, set up wifi, sign in, etc. Are we supposed to skip all that possibly?

sanj February 5, 2012, 2:11 pm

Maybe you are having a password lock code on your device.Remove the passcode,delete the absinthe icon from the home screen of your device,then jailbreak again,then click on absinthe icon your device will reboot,mine got fixed..!!

When I try to jailbreak my iPhone 4s, I open up absinthe and it says, “Sorry, the attached device is not supported.” I’ve tried many things to try and get this to work. When I plugged my iPad2 in.. It automatically read it and was ready to jailbreak. Can anyone help me?
