Yes everytime it failed I had to clean restore again to get absinthe to work Id reset it and set it up as new iPhone and everytime absinthe fail after I would try it again and again and again
strange, it should pass in seconds, usually people have problems when they try to do it on a fully loaded iphone, the process involves restoring a back-up, so it will take forever to finish.
This is what I noticed that I did not when I was running it on Win7.
When I ran the tool on Mac the tool warned me that it will most likely fail if I have the passcode setup! After removing the passcode, it worked perfectly for me.
Maybe some people got their passcode removed while doing full reset.
