how long usually it will take in the screen "Absinthe is now setting things up" ?
it has been 10mins and is still showing the same screen...
Someone has mentioned that it took him 30 minutes due to the fact that his backup was huge. One of the reason why people are recommending for us to Backup the iPad 2 prior to jailbreaking, restoring it to factory fresh and setting it up as a new iPad 2 and then jailbreaking and once the jailbreak is successful (which shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes), restoring the old backup.

Hi there im just a newbie. My ipad aged for 3 months only..
I never experience how to JB b4.. So i hope u guys can help me to answer my question.
1) After we jailbreak, is it possible to return back to our apple original firmware (coz we use untethered JB)? So that we still can claim our warranty at apple store without they knowing we've been JB B4. If possible how ?( please guide me step by step coz i really dunno)
2) Why people really eager to do JB?? Is it we can get free application in apple store????
3) Why so many people got many problem when they try 2 JB their ipad?? Is it bcoz the JB still not stable yet?
4) Any tips to get successful JB?? Please share for those guys who successfully JB their IPAD 2...
1. Yes, just download the Apple firmware and do a Shift + Restore and your iPad will be restored to factory settings and your Warranty will also be "Restored"
2. A lot of tweaks that Apple disapprove of such as customisations of our themes etc etc. We don't condone piracy and some of the tweaks in Cydia are paid applications so you pay similar to the App Store.
3. The server maybe overloaded and jailbreaking is easy but not simple, there's a lot of coding and things happens.
4. Tips, as I mentioned above, What I did was to backup my iPad 2, restore it to factory fresh condition, set it up as a new iPad (don't restore the backup yet), run Absinthe to jailbreak and once the jailbreak is successful, restore back my Backup.
