Works perfect, remember to restore your iphone before anything. to 4.2.1 thats the best way to go on about this. dont jump from one jailbreak to another, thats most likely why most of your ipads are messed up. i love this site, it makes everything look soo simple, and it is indeed too ;-)

This is weird. After trying multiple times and getting JB failed msg, I use a different USB port and cable. SUCCESS!

Ok, I have an Ipad 3g, but have never used the 3g. I got it in case I went on vacations and wanted internet access beyond wifi. Question - Is the Ipad 3g even locked to a carrier? If so, will upgrading to 4.2.1 lock it back down as I am on 3.2 now.
