iPad 2 JB not out yet.
Waiting patiently here too

Hi all,

I'm newbie and have an ipad with os 4.2.1

Btw, I'm not clear about those terms... DFU mode, SBSettings, Multi Gesture, SHSH...

What's the benefit after 'Jailbreak'? And how do I 'Jailbreak' my ipad?

Did some google about the 'Jailbreak' ipad... still not very clear.

Thanks in advance.

You need to backup your data and restore to the original iOS4.2.1 or 4.3.1(since the unthetered JB is available for this version) and restore your data before running the specific version of unthetered redsnow for 4.2.1 or 4.3.1 to JB.

Yea..I sort of figured it out myself and what I did was to restore my iPad to 4.3.1 then run redsnow, then restore last back up. Thanks a lot anyway.

I downloaded the ipsw thru external source, not iTunes. When I click shift+restore, it gives me error code 3194. So I have to put iPad into recovery mode and restore. Any explanation on this?

I got that error also last time. Then I noticed I downloaded the wrong ipsw.

Correct ipsw as I can use the same file to restore when in recovery mode.

Using 3rd party site for the official ipsw always worked for me.
I usually put it in the iTunes update folder and after plugging iPad it will prompt for update

Need some answer seeing as I'm noob about jailbreaking.

1. Does it void warranty?
2. Will jailbreak hinder performance?

WhatMan

1. Does it void warranty?
YES

2. Will jailbreak hinder performance?
NO

It voids warranty if you send in your iPad for warranty coverage still in Jailbreak firmware ... so the wise thing to do is if you need to send it for warrnty, then restore the iPad to stock firmware and you have your warrnty back.

Yeah, but if the iPad KO (say battery kaput) but still got jailbreak firmware will be problem also.

When battery kaput, ur ipad sure warranty already expired lor.

1. Yes it does. As some forumer already stated that you can always restore back to the original firmware before sending for warranty. What if any hardware defect that won't let you boot into your iPad and you can't do any restoration at all? This is the risk of jailbreaking, it's up to you whether you choose to JB or stay with the original firmware.

2. Nope.

friends, i just enable multi gesture on my ipad 2 without JB and i find it its the easiest and fastest way to do it.

proceed with caution and i'm not held responsible but i'm 100% positive that it will work on you guys as well cause i did it in less than 5 minutes with no problem.
