Newbie QQ - jailbreak + flashdrive to store...

Hello!

I'm a newbie and need your help with steps on how to jailbreak so I could save files, photos, etc. on flash drive or memory SD (camera) card? Do I need to get the camera connecting kit as mentioned in some threads to make this work?

Please explain in real easy layman's terms as I'm not quite tech reader.

Thanks! :)

Hi Dale_b,

Thanks for your reply. I feel like an idiot 'cuz I forgot to mention that it's iPad I wanna jailbreak into :o . I'm not sure what the os firmware is yet 'cuz I just ordered the refurb ipad 16gb/wifi/3G and awaiting its arrival. I checked for the os and it looks like it's os 4 if not previous version installed. Do you have the instructions for iPad or is it the same as iPhone if the os is the same version? Please advise.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the link!

I hate to ask a dumb question but what's "tethered" and how is it significant if any? Could I get it untethered somehow if any? And what's the difference(s) between them?

Thanks again!

Got it! Thanks!

This is still a tethered jb so be warned, it is a pain in the ars but if your on 4.2.1 then this is your only option atm.

What relevance does that link have here??? It is to install the iPad's 3.2.2 baseband on an IPHONE... not iPad. I would be very careful trying that on an iPad.

More importantly... why? The iPad is already unlocked. No need to do a thing. See here, within the first 20 seconds of video, Jobs explains that it will be unlocked. And it is.

Thanks, Michael, for clarification! Are there any links you'd suggest that caters to jailbreak iPad for memory drive/flash drive to store files and photos?

Thanks again!

The standard jailbreak will be fine, although it is tethered--don't reboot it out in the field.

But you will want a cydia app to better see the drive. iFile should be one your list.

If no trouble, can you kindly point me to the right direction to get the standard jailbreak file?

I'll rem not to reboot it out of home. Thanks for the tip!

Will look for the iFile.

Thanks again!

P.S. the current version is 3.2.2, should I update it to latest version of 4.2.1 before jailbreaking it? Please advise.

Or is it 4.2, not 4.2.1?
