I did the OTA update to 6.1 on my Ipad4 and wanted to jailbreak it but see that it says not to update OTA. How can I redo it so it will be updated through Itunes and I can jailbreak?


Enter DFU and restore?

1. Hook up your iPad to iTunes.
2. Perform a backup.
3. Then restore to 6.1 (do not do update).
4. After restore is done, restore your iPad from backup (do not setup as a new iPad unless you want to start fresh).
5. Jailbreak and enjoy!
