Do Remember it is just a Jailbreak not a Carrier unlock and please remove the passcode before doing the Jailbreak or else you will get the error message as mentioned in the picture. If you get any issues you can message me down below. i will reply. For now Chao !!!


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!
