Jailbreak iPad 2
If you have been wondering how to jailbreak iPad 2 with redsn0w, then here’s the solution. The most simplest way to Jailbreak iPad 2 is by using this software called Redsn0w which does it all for you without you having to go through complex steps. The jailbreaking software actually does a tethered jailbreak for the iPad 2, but something is better than nothing, so following are the steps that will walk you through how to jailbreak iPad 2:
Download and restore the iOS version of your iPad 2. You can do this by downloading the latest version of the iOS 4.3 and restoring it via iTunes on your iPad 2. There are many ipsw files available for upgrade but you need the only one which has the iPad 2 name on it. When you download the ipsw files, you get all the files for the various iDevices. Put them under the same folder for convenience.
Now download Redsn0w preferably 0.9.6 any release candidate or version. The software comes in two variants – one for windows and other for Mac. You need to choose which one you need to go with. Once you are done with that, you can go ahead and install the software. It is considered a safe software.
Run Redsn0w. The first step will be to point the ipsw file for your iPad 2 which is on the system now. Once you have pointed the file to the software, a list of options comes up on the software. Check Install Cydia and proceed. If you want to choose any other option, you can select them too. But make sure you choose Install Cydia.
Click on Next. Now, make sure your iPad 2 is plugged to the computer and then switched off. This is important before you hit on next. You will be prompted for this even on the software but it is better if you followed the steps before you are prompted.
Now, you will have to put the iDevice in DFU mode. The software itself will guide you through the process of putting the device in the DFU mode. Once you follow the instructions carefully, your device will go to DFU mode and automatically, whatever has to be done, will be done by the Redsn0w software.
That’s it! However, this is tethered jailbreak, so you will have to run the software every time you need to run any jailbreak software on your iPad 2.
