Limera1n Download Helps iPad Users Jailbreak iOS 3.2.2

There is so much news around on the Internet at the moment regarding Jailbreaking Apple devices like the iPhone, iPod Touch and apple TV. We have recently informed you about the iOS 4.1 Jailbreak instructions and asked if you had any problems after downloading and installing.

Now I have great news for iPad owners that run the 3.2.2 version of Apple’s iOS and want to Jailbreak their device. According to Taimur Asad over at redmondpie.com, you can now do that and he provides a complete guide on how it’s done.

Here are some simple steps that will help you Jailbreak your iPad: first is to download the software from limera1n.com. Then link the iPad to a PC via the USB port, and a box will appear with a button saying make it ra1n. Once you have clicked that, the device will start to go into recovery mode.

From there you just have to follow the instructions telling you to hold down the home + power buttons, then release the power button. After that, the iPad will go into DFU mode for the last step, which is to launch Limera1n followed by installing Cydia and restarting the device.

For the full story on Jailbreaking the iPad or if you would prefer a video guide, then visit redmondpie.com. Let us know how it went if you decide to go ahead.

      Great news! But I have a 3GS – with Beta4, I go through all of the steps. When limera1n says its done, the device is restarted, but no change .. no cydia icon. I wonder if I'm just missing something, or there's something funky about mine that's preventing it from working.

      • Gussy

        u will see a white Icon with limera1n name, press it, then install cydia from the packages.

      • Unknown person

        Dude, is there a lime rain icon?
        If so, execute it. Click on cydia and install it

        • Jack

          But what if there is neither a limerain or cydia

    • Gen

      I have an iPad and I followed the instructions and it worked perfectly for me. Thanks for all the hard work. I was waiting for a while. I would like to know how do you save the shsh in cydia so that I can be able to go back to this jailbreak if it gets updated to apples next firmware? I was not asked in cydia to save this when I first opened it.

      i fail to understand. How thery can release a version of Limer1n and say it is for the ipad 3.2.2.
      Tried this numerous ties and nothing. DOne some research and it lokks like there are others with ipad 3.2.2. and similar problems.

      Conclusion limera1n is a flop wait for the chronic dev release.

    • murilo

      hi there citizen and ssprod i had the same problem but then i moved the limera1n app to a page where there was room to make a new app(icon) then it installed the cydia with no problems

    • Tikkis

    • IAmMrB

      Unlocked my 3gs running 4.1 with no issues, but unable to get this to work on my Ipad running 3.2.2. It seems to get stuck at "exploiting". Only way to stop this is to either unplug the cable or hold power+home then I get the message to say its complete. No Limera1n icon though.

    • sizzle frizzle

    • rexiaoa

      The key trouble for me is whether i should jailbreak my iPad ? I am very hesitating, as i heared that the Apple will released the new patent product which can recognition the jialbroken user and limited the iPad features , oh ,that is horrible at first , i just cared about the movie features and my Aneesoft ipad video converter , but if the IOS limited the features and i can't watch movies on ipad after Apple publish the new security product , what should i do ?

      iPad 16GB, model MB292LL SN: V5032LVRZ38, iOS 3.2.2 (7B500)
      After trying the Limera1n, no green raindrop, stays in recovery mode and cannot be taken out of it. Restored the iOS using iTunes 10. Tried tree times. The first time I tryed downgrade to 3.2.1 and it was unsuccessful. Somehow iTunes after the error took the iPad out of the recovery mode but there was no limera1n app. On next attempts the recovery mode could not be removed and did full factory recovery.
      There is no slot for SIM card in this model.

      You should use USB 2 directly connected to the computers' motherboard. :) :)

    • Ralph Goodman

      I am tottally new to this. What is ssh and when should I install it? Can you undo the jailbreak after the fact? What is cydia? I really want to do this but don't want to ruin a $500.00 device. Any help would be appreciated.
      Ralph

    • Fey

      Didnt work on my 3.2.2 factory ipad at first. I tried for more then 20 times… When it was supposed to show the drop it went to black and i didnt get the Limera1n / Cydia app.

      So here's what I did to fix it.

      -Reboot PC

      -hard reboot Ipad (Home + Power)

      -Install latest Itunes

      -OPEN ITUNES

      -Connect Ipad 3.2.2

      -Open Limera1n

      -Now update…

      For some reason it worked for me following these steps.. Good luck for those who don't get it to work. let me know if this method also works for you.

      • Mimi

        Check if you USB is 2.0. I failed many times until I read osasa's reply about plugging it directly to the motherboard and voila! Did it in the first go! YEAH! Thanks OSASA!

    • Philtwo
