Step 1:

Absinthe 2.0.1 Linux (x86/x86_64)

Step 2: After the download is complete, locate the compressed file, extract all of the contents and place them on your desktop for easy and quick access

Step 3: Using a standard 30-pin connector cable, connect your device to the computer

Step 4: Run Absinthe 2.0.1 through the executable file downloaded in Step 1. When launched, the program will show an initial interface with some text-based information on it and a "Jailbreak" button

Step 5: Now click the "Jailbreak" button to begin the process. During the process, you will see the device act as if it is going through a restore stage, which is normal

Step 6: Once the payload process is over, you'll get an alert on Absinthe telling you the jailbreak is complete. You should see the Cydia icon on the device's homescreen, meaning you can now install any extensions or packages via Cydia, if your device is supported by them.


The main errors that pop up seem to be “Error detecting device (lockdown error -5)” and “Could not connect to lockdown“…
We’ve been in contact with @pod2g and @pimskeks, and they confirmed the problem is a random coincidence that creates a timeout. But the fix is fairly easy. All you have to do is go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Content and Settings. Then make sure you download Absinthe 2.0.1 and run it again.

New 2.0.2
