My shinny new iPad 2 has arrived. Never touched one before (got it as a gift). I've never touched a Mac & don't have a cell or smart phone. I want to jailbreak the iPad, but first, I want to make sure I have a backup that will completely restore the iPad back to the original factory setup so I don't end up with a brick by accident. I will be using the Windows version to jailbreak. Is there a link that explains how to back it up and restore it to factory conditions, and is it really possible to restore back to factory conditions if it becomes a brick? Thanks so much for any help!

Mine still shows the webpage as opposed to starting the Cydia program.

I tried turning on VPN 8 times and nothing happened....

Assistance...

I never get a jailbreak button, I've turned off the passcode at Absinthe's insistence, and now I can't install from the AppStore. I DID get the Absinthe icon on the Springboard. VPN connection always gives me an error. "A configuration error occured" and it never, ever installs Cydia no matter how long I stare at it.


restarting the iPad made the AppStore program show up as installed (previously was a grey icon that said "waiting...")


Hmm, it seems 7th time was the charm lol, something different happened this time. I told it to start the VPN, and it reset, went to the Apple logo, and a bar filled up. I has Cydia.

So don't give up people, even if you have to JB the SOB ten times :D

Thanks everyone.


Well, Ive done the VPN ON now 10 times and didnt get a restart from my iPhone, so I should just manually reset the phone myself and restart the entire process?

you probably have a large device with alot of stuff on it
sync, backup, restore and setup as a new device, jailbreak, restore your backup
