Jailbreaking your iPad - Short & Sweet


If you are looking to unlock the potential of your iPad, look no further. We will give you clear & concise step by step instructions on how to jailbreak your iPad. Any jailbreaking website will give you a disclaimer saying they are not responsible for anything gone awry with your device because of a jailbreak. With my experience I can tell you that even when I have fouled things up on iDevices in the past, I simply plug the device into iTunes, restore, and I'm back up and running. So, you are still performing this at your own risk and I am not responsible for the outcome of your jailbreak.


How to Jailbreak iPad 3.2.2

1. The first step would be to update your iPad by plugging it into iTunes and performing an update to 3.2.2.

2. Once this has been performed download Limera1n here.

3. Open limera1n.

4. Familiarize yourself with the power and home buttons. (The top small black button that turns the screen and power on/off & the circular button you use to exit apps.)

5. Click "Make it ra1n".
6. Follow the instructions. First you will be told to hold down HOME and POWER.
7. It will prompt you to release POWER.

8. The device will enter a mode called DFU.
All you need to do is keep holding the HOME button and waiting.

9. You will see an image of a lime raindrop appear on your screen. Wait and keep holding HOME. limera1n will tell you that it has completed the jailbreak. If this doesn't work go back and do this all over again from the top.
10. You should now see limera1n on the second screen of your iPad (or further to the right if you already filled that screen with apps).

11. Make sure your WIFI is connected on the iPad.

12. Open limera1n from your iPad.

13. Click on CYDIA.
