iPad spirit jailbreak out!

Restoring now, not sure if I'm gonna try again tonite. I wish posters would mention more details on successful ipad jbs. I'm on a 2009 Mac and no go.
should I have itunes running? how long should the spinning gear spin before I unplug. I got the psychadelic screen and saw the status bar run and then it became unresponsive.
 
Just be patient - this is a bit buggy depending on your computer and OS version.

I initially messed around with compatibility on windows 7 32/64bit versions and got error messages then I got it to reboot but I got a boot loop (kinda sounds like cereal doesn't it?)... so I had to DFU restore it - took ages (remmeber DFU mode the screen is OFF when it is restoring) and then someone mentioned 98 compatibility mode on twitter so tried it and it worked first time....!

Except my internet connection decided to time out and need a router reset before I could enjoy it all better.

I am just know putting all my apps/music back on the iPad... lets hope it is stable enough to not require another restore any time soon!

I tried several times on a Vista machine (64bit)...finally went back to the beginning of this thread and reread the above post. I had it set to XP Compatibility mode in error. It has to be on 98/me even for Vista...not just Win7.

Never thought I would say this so happily...but I am BROKEN!!

Thanks! Whenever I do JB, I will do this because I have Vista

OSX.

It finally restarted after I held down the Power+Home buttons. I went to uninstall MyWi (since I did the Rock version and I wanted the No Rock). It uninstalled MyWi but when I went to remove Rock, it said Complete and I went pressed Reload Springboard and again it crashed.

Just now it restarted again and I will try to uninstall Rock once again. Will keep you updated.
 
Ok, successfully uninstalled Rock. Now Im going to try to reinstall MyWi.
 
dunno if any of you guys with issues had itunes open when jailbreaking. But I closed it. and it worked perfectly on win 7 x64
 
none of the apps I click on have a Confirm button, only cancel/queue -- can someone help a noob out on how to install apps? just trying to install backgrounder

uhhh.... I still can't get backgrounder installed. I click on the Install button adn the Confirm screen comes up, but there is no Confirm button at all. Only a cancel/queue button...
Click to expand...

same, anybody?
 
Multiflow works, but needs an update as its all jammed in the top corner and limited to iphone size.

Is there another app to manage backgrounder?
 
battery

so far battery seems normal
nothing unusual
Man this is the biggest cellphone i have ever held to my ear
 
Ok, I was able to restore the iPad. I think what happened the first time was that the DFU mode timed out by the time the Restore File was downloaded by iTunes.

I went ahead and downloaded the IPSW file seperately off the net and restored it with the file off the computer and it worked.

I then ran Spirit again and it worked like a charm the second time.
 
SBSettings works great except for the Processes function! W00t! Now if only they could unlock the lower brightness levels that iBooks accesses....
 
Just JB my iPad but can't install Backgrounder.

I go to 'Features Packages,' but when I click 'Backgrounder,' I get a message that says 'Note: Cannot Locate Package. ... I recommend installing more sources.'

Any ideas??

EDIT: Nevermind, had to go to 'Changes' and then click 'Refresh.' Then it downloaded some stuff and when I went back to Backgrounder, I was able to download...

can someone point me in the right direction?

need to get copilot installed. What's this repo business? Maybe someone can pm me a link?
 
My 64G iPad is stuck with the white apple logo after I tried to jail break it. Its been over 5 minutes now...What to do next?
 
Anybody stuck with the Apple logo, try this.

I found if I closed down iTunes, left the phone plugged in and do another hard reset then I got the pink screen again, and once the progress bar loaded then my phone was back up and running with Cydia installed. Easiest jailbreak ever!
