can i use this jailbreak 511 for my ipad 3?
i have ipad 3 on 6.0.1...any idea which is the best solution (which version or downgrade) for me if i need a Jailbreak iPad??
I did it, but cydia isn't working correctly, it crashes when I tap on it.
I tried restoring the iPad but I am getting an error: "This device isn't elegibe for the requested build", I tried modifying the hosts list, but still not working I don't know how to solve I've read, that I can Re-restore to 5.1.1 on Dev-Team Blog (http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/31869383801/blob-o-riffic) but I don't know how.
I need help please, thanks!
Hi,
Beside using my Iphone as a HotSpot with MyWi to connect my computer I don't have an Internet conncetion. So when I will be Jailbreaking I won't have internet. Is there any way to JB my Iphone 4 Ios 5.1.1 using Absynthe 2.0.2?
Thanks
Worked for my unlocked 4S 64gb, although some icons have been turning completely white, randomly, maybe changes from one icon to another after installing or updating an app. White icons could be settings button now, later mail or itunes or music or combination of some, and up to 3 icons at once, all in the iphone's first screen. Still, phone is working normally though.
Just weird.
Not working for me, either on my iPad 3 CDMA. Tried with Absinthe 2.0, 2.01, 2.02 on MacBook Pro. Reset all content and settings. Upgraded Lion and iTunes to the latest versions. Tried from guest account on the computer. Over and over again. Consistently hangs on "waiting to reboot." Pretty frustrating because I've donated to the hackers who make these jailbreaks possible...
Finally got My iPad 3 broken!
It didnt work on My MacBook PRO, With 10.6.8
And iTunes 10.6.1
But it worked perfectly on My friends MacBook PRO With latest mountain Lion and iTunes 10.6.1
Didnt work on my MacBook air or my MacBook pro. Every time I try to jb through dev team ... Nothing . That's y Geohot was the best, u guys r loosing ur swag.. I been trying to jb my air for a yr now wtf c'mon dudes
not working on ipad 3 32gb wifi. stock in "sending initial jailbreak data. this may also take a while.." from last night until now. progress bar have not move. any soltion to this?
After trying more than 10 different ways and reformatting macbook(yes re-installing Lion) I realized there was a sync issue with iTunes 10.6.1. I went back to iTunes 10.5.3 and it worked on the first try. A lot of people are having all sorts of sync issues with iTunes 10.6.1. Just thought you should know. If your iTunes library has been updated to 10.6.1 you can't just downgrade to 10.5.3. That's why I needed to do clean install and obtain everything from backup. Enjoy!
Done on my IPad 3. No issues whatsoever. Just donated thru paypal "PLEASE DONATE GUYS". This is the only way we can thank them for having our devices jailbroken... :)
Ipad 3 GSM europe/sweden
Tried both with 2.0 and 2.0.1 still get the same issue
It gets stuck on "Waiting for reboot - not done yet, don't unplug your device yet!
If i reboot the Ipad i get the error code -5
Same thing with sim inserted (thought this was the issue)
Only way go be able to try the jailbreak again I have to reset the ipad
Doesn't work on Canadian iPad 2 with unjailbroken 5.1.1 Tried restore, erase contents, everything...get the "something went wrong thing..then just restores with no cydia
