Troubleshooting --
- Camera roll will be empty if the jailbreak is incomplete. Rerun the app once to fix, and then another time to complete Jailbreak.
- 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!
