Suppose to be a few minutes. What happened to your iPad 2 ? Over 30 mins jammed ?

yeah, why is that happening? help please..

Ur iPad 2 is jailbroken right? Running wat version of IOS ?

yup.. ios 5 if im not mistaken, im helping fren to reboot. y is that? did i do anything wrong?

Reboot is ok, but if you click Master Reset/ reset all setting like that, and your iPad is jailbroken, then it will stuck in DFU mode
Get your iPad plug in iTunes and reactivate it, correct me if i am wrong any sifu

is it bad? all i can see is the loading sign.if i plug in will it change any different?

Try to press the power button and the home button together for more than 10 seconds. See if it restarts? And i am afraid you might not be able to go back iOS 5

i manage to restart by pressing the 2 buttons and now its back to normal without any changes. so if i want it to restart like new what must i do? can i just updgrade it to ios6?

Erm, what do you mean ? So your iPad now back to normal ? then thats good !

So u mean u wan to update the ipad to iOS 6 ?

yup2.. yeah now i want to update. so can i just update it like that or i theres things i must do?

I think you can just update But i recommend update using iTunes

any diff by just updating without itunes? anyway, after what happen just now soes it affects anything? the apps or anything?

ios 6 do not have jailbreak yet. If you update, you will lose the jailbreak.

If you still want to update, just update using itunes. Make sure to do a full backup first. After update, you can restore back from itunes.

so after updating i can format the ipad without worrying about the jailbreak?

I normally wont advise others to upgrade from 1 gen of OS to another Gen via OTA. But i think it is ok also ? Not sure

No worries, all your apps will not be gone as long as you back up it and restore

whats OTA? so if say i upgrade to ios6 will it be fresh like new ipad?

OTA = Over The Air . Means you update it through your iPad and without a computer You try to first check for updates in Settings there in your iPad see whether it can detect or not

yes it can. anyway, my friend decided not to update, so i was just wondering after what had happen just now when i try to format it and u ask me press the 2 buttons will it affect any apps, os or anything?

No. That 2 button is just like a force shut down of your computer No worries
