Step 4: Once the restore is completed, unlock your iPhone / iPad and look for the ‘Absinthe’ icon which you can find on device’s Springboard. Connect your device with WiFi. Tapping the icon will launch the GreenPois0n website, and then your device will reboot. After the reboot is completed, You will notice that Absinthe icon will now have replaced with Cydia icon.
NOTE: If you are receiving an ‘Error establishing connection’ message at this step, exit to your Springboard and be patient.

This will cause an error message to be generated, which will reboot your device when dismissed. You can then launch the Absinthe icon again.
