kyomagi · Jan 11, 2013, 05:59 PM

two really weird things are happening with the ipad i bought with 5.1.1 that i am jailbreaking.

First issue is start up, it takes FOREVER

Just timed it at 1:55 seconds

Second thing is, when i hold the power button to turn it off, this happens

wtf is wrong with this thing?

Is it jailbroken now? Looks like it thinks it's an iPhone, which happened with some JB iPads.

well i dont see cydia, but under settings it has cydelete. which means it was jailbroken at one point

Hard reset it to wipe it clean. Previously owner probably messed things up with JB.

I suggest you ask this question in the Jailbreaks and IOS Hacks forum.

I actually found a way to reinstall Cydia and i saved my blobs

on a side note, anyone got an idea what the deal is with the long load time

Probably a side effect of being jailbroken. Only way to know for sure is if you restore it to stock.

Saving the blobs now won't help you, if I recall correctly. That's something you need to do before the new version of iOS is released.

If you have the 5.1.1 blobs right now, just re restore with redsn0w.

1. Why are you powering off and on so much?
2. Glad the mods moved this thread to the correct forum.

A jailbroken iPad 2 should reboot in about 35-45 seconds (on mine that includes the time to reload LockInfo).
An original iPad will take longer due to slower processor.

If you feel that is an excessive time, you need to restore to clean firmware to fix the issue.

kyomagi · Jan 12, 2013, 07:23 AM

there lies the problem. I went and first wiped the ipad and when it started to reboot...bam stuck on the apple logo. it can enter DFU mode, but it wont even update to ios6, it gives a general error. after fighting with the guy for selling me a bad ipad, i had to get ebay involved, and im shipping it out today. Also picking up a 64gb ipad 3 jailbroken with some high end case for $500 today.

You caused your own problem. This should never be done with a jailbroken device. Odds are, there was never anything wrong with the first iPad.

Before you do anything with your iPad3, ask here first or better yet, search and read here first.

so wait, erasing all settings is a bad thing? So the boot time being super long and there being other issues had all been made by erasing the settings?

Did you try searching this forum for 'erase'? Seventh thread listed.

dextr3k · Jan 12, 2013, 08:22 AM

You cannot use Erase all Settings on a jailbroken device. Thats JB 101.

Also, the first iPad was limited to 5.1.1, it never got ios 6. So you dont need blobs to restore it. You never mentioned which iPad it was?

TriJetHero · Jan 12, 2013, 09:23 AM

@OP

Try restarting it in save-mode, turn it off and hold volume-up while restarting.

After that restart it again normal.

Yes its bad on a jb device.
You messed it up NOT the seller then

TBH The seller was not honest about a few other things on the ipad, there were dents and dings and scratches that he said did not exist. But neither here nor there, the thing would not start any longer, so i returned it to him for a refund. He already said hes going to take it to apple for a new one.

but lucky me, i went to the store today to get a ipad 3 for $330 new with 1 year warranty, and wouldent you know, it had 5.1.1 on it.

so freaking lucky
