I am one happy camper playing with my iPad 2 now that it’s jailbroken thanks to Comex! BTW, over 1,000,000 downloads from jailbreakme.com in 24 hours. Not surprised and I’m sure the vast majority were iPad 2. If you haven’t jailbroken already you really should. Just watch the video here it’s so easy, reversible and legal. So what have I installed and am playing with? Watch the video and then continue reading to see instructions. As always please comment. It makes me feel loved. I’ve also added a new poll. Which of these apps/tweaks would you most want – RetinaPad, Multi-Touch gestures, FolderEnhancer, FullForce?

Yahoooooo! After such a long wait, a jailbreak for the iPad 2 was released tonight by comex. The iPad 2 was the only iOS device for which there was no jailbreak so now all is right in the world again. It’s also the third version of the easiest jailbreak ever – jailbreakme.com. This is a Userland exploit, not Bootrom. This means it is not hardware based so Apple can fix it with a firmware update. It should go without saying, but never update your iOS device’s firmware unless you are sure you can re-jailbreak it after the update. The iPad 2 jailbreak works only on iOS 4.3.3 for the moment. If you followed the drama of the leak this weekend, comex wanted to get the jailbreak released and thus is only doing 4.3.3 for now. Before you jailbreak be sure you are on iOS 4.3.3, sync your iPad 2 with iTunes and backup photos etc. and lastly backup your SHSH blob for 4.3.3 with Tiny Umbrella (see video). Like previous versions all you have to do is goto jailbreakme.com on your iPad 2 and tap the free button followed by a tap of the green install button. In one minute you’ll have Cydia and the fun can begin. See this video for example.

Following developments in the jailbreak community is sometimes better than a soap opera. This weekend is proving to be one of those. Ryan Lobbins claims he stumbled into finding comex’s jailbreak files by luck. Curiosity took over and he started telling people in Forums about the upcoming jailbreak. He next shared the files with a few people on the Forum where one quickly made a YouTube video and contacted news websites about the jailbreak. Don’t try and mess with these files. It only works for firmware 4.0 which very few people still have on their iPad 2. This set off fireworks on Twitter with the majority of people condemning the leaker. To find out what to with your iPad 2 jailbreak and read the best of this drama Continue Reading…
