No, that is not right. Whoever told you is wrong. There is nothing in the jailbreak code which in any way interferes with the 3G wireless, or baseband. Jailbreaking has noting to do with wireless communications. It doesn't need to touch them and there is no fundamental difference in jailbreaking a device without 3G such as an iPod Touch or iPad WiFi, and a device with 3G such as an iPhone.

The only things which can possibly interfere with these are applications which are installed from Cydia after a device is jailbroken, even then I don't know if anything that breaks 3G service permanently or which a reboot doesn't resolve.

That is not to say that something has not gone wrong in the OPs situation. But this is most likely a one-off anomaly which will be resolved by restoring and re-jailbreaking.

Hope that helps.

Helped me!! Very informative as usual ~ going into my notes.

After restore, did you click on new ipad or restore from backup?

Also, after restoring, I get the following message and "no service" again:

"waiting for activation"

Any thoughts?

That should go away if you had it activated at the AT&T store and if not you can always try to remove the SIM and put it back in.. Other than that just go throughout iTunes following the steps to reactivate

Ah, I restored to backup, had "no service", went to AT&T store, got a new SIM, same problems. Going to try to restore and chooose "new Ipad" and hope things work.

Thanks for the response.

IMHO as a general rule of thumb, you should really only restore from backup if you have a known good configuration and you are not performing a mojor upgrade to the OS, although that's not to say it doesn't work outwith these scenarios.

Almost all the problems I deal with relating to restores are where people are doing a major upgrade of OS version but restore the backup from a previous version. In particlar it is the wireless communications (both 3G and WiFi) which seem to be most suseptable to glitches after a restore from backup.

Nine times out of ten, a restore and setup as new will fix things.
Whilst it may be a pain to lose some app data, the majority of "stuff" can be resynced either from iTunes or the cloud.

Hope that helps.

So, restored to new ipad. Still have "waiting for activation" message popping up after reboot. Took out SIM and re-inserted, still no luck after new ipad restore. I think I need to go to the apple store.

Any words of wisdom?
