Hey, I'm on 3.2.2 (JB-ed) and tried to update to 5.0.1 via iTunes to JB it after that.

Everything looked OK until I was stuck for very long time in the "backing up" stage. It basically moved a little bit albeit more than 20 minutes already gone... I'm just using the 16GB version.

Now, since the iPad is giving me a lot of problems and I don't have important info or apps that need to be retained nor backed up. Can I just reset everything by selecting "erase all content and settings"? Then, make it like I first bought it and straight update to 5.0.1 then only JB it by following to this tutorial? http://www.redmondpie.com/jailbreak-5.0.1-....9.10b1-corona/

Thank you. This thing is driving me crazy. My last JB was done more than a year ago.. Didn't bother to update it until recently I have compatibility issue in most of the apps I tried to download. They require 4.0 and above.

Appreciate your reply, thanks.

Ignore my post, I have managed to restore everything. Hopefully it runs well.

I used to be able to drop my magazines and comics (in PDF format) to my iBooks via iTunes. There is a "books" tab for me to do so. After upgrading to 5.0.1 and jailbroken it, I'm unable to do so because this tab is no longer available.

Can somebody tell me where have I done wrongly? iBooks is my first love in iPad, without it I don't think I can survive... Most of my ebooks are transferred from my laptop.

Thanks, got it. Now it has the "Books" tab.
Too bad iBooks is a known bug for this iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak untethered.
I got this error: "There is a problem with the configuration of your iPad. Please restore with iTunes or redownload iBooks."
I have no choice but to tap "Quit".

It is just too bad...

Yeah, I'm waiting for it now. Goodness, gotta keep an eye on this thread or check out those Jailbreak forums.
Seriously iBooks issue is bothering me quite a lot. Hopefully it is just for temporary.

Thanks. Will search for that now.

Did you guys mean this?


I still see it on my JB-ed iPad. I JB-ed using redsn0w_win_0.9.10b1 and selected Cydia and Multi-Tasking Gestures (if I'm not mistaken) when I performed the JB.

p/s: I'm sorry if I misunderstood your meaning as I was on 3.2.2 all this while and it had no MTG.

OK, thought of sharing this with you guys having iBooks issue. Since this is the only thing that bothered me, so I went around the world (wide web) to search for solutions.

This works for me, I hope it helps.

0. Delete iBooks and/or every other patch/patches on your iDevice.
1. Install a clean iBooks from the App Store and then restart your phone.
2. Install the iBooks Fix2 from the insanely repository.
3. Respring the iDevice.
4. The Springboard now should crash and go in safe mode (i don't know why, but the only time it crashed and went in safe mode it worked for me), so if it doesn't crash go in safe mode.
5. Restart the phone.
6. Now iBooks will work (at least it worked for me).

I can't get Backgrounder app works on iOS 5.0.1 JB-ed version. The multitasking gesture terminates and suspends all my apps running on background.

I remember when I was using the 3.2.2 and had Backgrounder installed in it, everything worked well.

I must admit it is one of my most useful apps but too bad once I updated my iPad to 5.0.1 JB-ed version, it crashes every single time I tried to run it. I have to get into Safe Mode to delete it from Cydia.

Anybody has the same encounter as mine?

I wanted to try MTG but it is terminating every single of my apps running on background when I switched app by pressing twice home button. Every time I switched to the other app and jumped back to the earlier app, whatever I had ran in background disappeared and I had to start all over again. This is useful when I'm reading via iBooks.

Or am I missing some steps on MTG? Please bear with me as it is my first time using MTG and have spent quite some times reading MTG tutorial but doesn't seem to work that well.

OK, the issues came when I was reading a comic via my iBooks and switched to Atomic Web to surf net.
Switched back again to iBooks and whatever I was reading missing.
Switched to Atomic Web, it opened a fresh new page.

It wasn't, then I found this solution: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=47801429
Er, I'm not sure if I'm against any rule here as I'm pretty new when it comes to JB.

If jailbreak but didn't select MTG, then it won't have.
Just rerun Redsnow again, I think it has third revision already.

It's OK, I'm also a newbie.

OK, finally got all my stuffs done with this iOS 5.0.1. At the moment, quite happy with it.
iBooks - Checked. Tried, working well.
Backgrounder - Checked. Tried, working well. Apparently the one found on Cydia is not working and crashed my iPad non-stop. It is a known bug as it doesn't support iOS 5.0 and above. Googled around and found the solution. Dropped into my iPad via iFunBox. So now my apps are running on background while switching.

Is it? No issue on my side though, it goes to the post which I made yesterday. Anyway, I copied and pasted again. Here are the steps:

0. Delete iBooks and/or every other patch/patches on your iDevice.
1. Install a clean iBooks from the App Store and then restart your phone.
2. Install the iBooks Fix2 from the insanely repository.
3. Respring the iDevice.
4. The Springboard now should crash and go in safe mode (i don't know why, but the only time it crashed and went in safe mode it worked for me), so if it doesn't crash go in safe mode.
5. Restart the phone.
6. Now iBooks will work (at least it worked for me).

Update: The iBooks fix which I posted up there doesn't seem to work with my sister's iPad 64GB 3G.

I tried two times and it still crashes. I tried once on my iPad 16GB non 3G and it works well. Not sure what exactly is happening.

Found another workaround for iBooks crash issue, apparently it works for my sister's iPad, finally. So, I'll be summarizing two solutions into one post.

Try at your own risk.

Solution 1 - iDonnie from Macrumors.com
0. Delete iBooks and/or every other patch/patches on your iDevice.
1. Install a clean iBooks from the App Store and then restart your phone.
2. Install the iBooks Fix2 from the insanely repository.
3. Respring the iDevice.
4. The Springboard now should crash and go in safe mode (i don't know why, but the only time it crashed and went in safe mode it worked for me), so if it doesn't crash go in safe mode.
5. Restart the phone.
6. Now iBooks will work (at least it worked for me).

Solution 2 - From Jailbreak.com (Make sure to have SBSettings installed first)
0. Delete iBooks and/or every other patch/patches on your iDevice.
1. Open SBSettings > Scroll down to bottom > System Wide Options > System Options > Fix User Dir Permissions > Fix Me
2. Follow step 1-5 from this link: http://www.ijailbreak.com/how-to/fix-ibook...0-1-untethered/
3. Respring and now iBooks app icon should appear on your springboard.

p/s: I don't need to go until step 6 from what shown on the site. I managed to get and throw all my PDF stuffs into iBooks and now I'm reading happily on my sister's iPad.

Anyway guys, I just encountered this issue with my JB-ed iOS 5.0.1, I was from 3.2.2. So bear with me if me this is stupid.

Don't use your iPad until battery flat out, once you turn it on, you will notice all your apps are misaligned. To solve this, put your iPad into safe mode and restart after that. It should solve the problem.

I encountered this with my own iPad and my sister got nervous when she saw hers like that this morning. So, thought of sharing this with those that don't know.

I noticed mine too but after I respring it, everything works well until today.
Any abnormality, I'll respring it.

Luckily I fixed my own iBooks, else until today I still can't read my magazines via iBooks.

I'm waiting for it to jailbreak my sister's newly bought iPhone4S and her iPad2.

These developer never fail to delight us. Gave us great X'mas and New Year pressie, I managed to jailbreak my iPad and my sister's iPad.

Now CNY angpow, two more A5 devices to go then every iDevice we have at home is jailbroken.

Patiently waiting for Windows version...

iPad not ipek or apek.

Looks like yes.
