Are you jealous of your friend’s jailbroken iPad?
Well, it took quite some time, but of course the iPad 2 is meant to be
jailbroken at some point right? More so, that point is today. In this
article you are going to learn how to jailbreak your iPad 2.
Jailbreaking
First, let’s learn what jailbreaking
is all about before we do anything else. Jailbreaking allows you to do
things on your iPad 2 that you weren’t able to do with the store-bought
iPad 2. What things are they? Well, things like customizing your Home
screen, including docks, easier ways to multitask, and a whole lot more.
It is also important to note that though Apple doesn’t allow
jailbreaking, the act itself is not illegal. Apple just not promote
jailbreaking because jailbroken iDevices could download paid apps for
free after the process. Now this part of the issue is the illegal part.
Hence jailbreaking itself is not illegal but it would indeed increase
your iPad 2′s capability of doing illegal things. Got it?
Also, another word of caution is that
jailbroken iPads get their warranty void. So if you really value the
warranty of your iPad 2, then think about jailbreaking a lot first.
Now that everything is clear, let’s move
on to
how to jailbreak your iPad 2. You see, jailbreaking is really
easy. Even if the outcome looks so complicated and magical, the process
of jailbreaking itself is really easy so much so that you can do it with
just one click.
Jailbreaking Your iPad 2
Yes, you’ve read it right. No need to
plug your iPad 2 to a computer anymore. You can access the jailbreaking
app through your browser, click on it, and you’re good to go! It seems
like Apple has indeed left open a security hole that allowed this hack
to be done via browser.
So how do you do it exactly. Search for
JailbreakMe 3.0 using your Safari browser. This is capable of
jailbreaking all iOS 4.3.3 devices which include the iPad 2. Now after
locating the file (it’s a .pdf) just click on it and it would start
jailbreaking your iPad 2. Wait for it to finish and when it does you
should be able to locate the beloved Cydia app on your screen.
This jailbreaking app was developed by
Comex, an expert iOS hacker from New York, and member of the well-known
iPhone Dev Team. Chances are, the Apple team are already cooking up the
iOS 4.3.4 to patch up and end the days of the JailbreakMe 3.0, and time
will only tell when the iPhone Dev Team would again formulate something
better to hack it.
Jailbreaking so far proved to be a really
exciting process, watching how Apple always finds a way to stop
jailbreaking, and the hackers always find a way to conquer them. So now
that you know how to jailbreak, the decision is up to you. Would you
jailbreak your iPad 2 or not?
Anyway, for instance you have decided
that you would like to try it out, it’s not a one way process. You could
always undo it. Simply reformatting your iPad 2 would undo everything
that you did, and your device would be as good as new.
