If you have a jailbroken iPad 2 this update will not work.. my iPad 2 was working perfectly like an idiot I just updated it. Now it stopped working.. The xCon was working on version 1.3.9. Can anyone patch this please? I should never have updated it..

I reinstalled the previous version 1.3.9 back from my iTunes. Skip this version.. This update wouldn't work with current app. Please update the patch for this new version. Thanks.
