iPad Can I reset and not lose jailbreak?

[lyceumHQ]

I have an ipad 3 on 6.1 jailbroken.

It keeps crashing. Now I know I can't restore it to 6.1.2, I'd have to upgrade to 6.1.3 and lose jailbreak, which I don't want to do.

But what happens if I click erase all content and settings.

Will I lose my jailbreak? Will I end up in a boot loop? Will it be fine?

Thanks for any advice.

What would you expect to happen if you "erase all content" ?

Your iPad will have the firmware erased which will require a restore to 6.1.3

Use iLEXRat from cydia or semirestore, look up in iphoneate.com/hack

No,

I don't mean plug it into itunes and restore, I mean going into settings and clicking erase all content.

FYI dhlizard knows that. This topic is mentioned almost as often as "can I jailbreak 6.1.3".

Definitely check out ilex rat and semi-restore. Those are your best bets to avoid losing your jailbreak.

Ran semirestore

Worked but now can't get back up and running. Won't restore from the backup I used. Can't set up as new iPad because iTunes says the iPad was disconnected whatever I try to do. Can't get on wifi as just keeps saying 'cant connect'.

Nothing will happen.
It will just give you an error and nothing will be erased.
It will just stay the way it is now.

Did you reboot?

Reset network settings

Did you reboot?

Reset network settings

Yes. Tried both. And restarted the PC and tried different USB ports.

Try running semi-restore again or iLex RAT

Thank you. That sorted it.
