I did not find solution for that. By trying different stuff it started to work, and describind what I did was my only purpose to register on this forum (maybe someone will be interested, if it is somewhere solved, admins will delete this post)

IPAD 1, 32 GB WiFi + Toshiba Satellite 5105 Win XP (from around year 2002)

Problem: Jailbreaking stops on "waiting for reboot".
Solution: before experimenting, I tried suggested shaking, USB changing, even rebooting ipad with redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc9 running - nothing.
Helped one of those:

- Turned off antivir (MS Security Essentials)
- running redsn0w as administrator (though me as user have administrative rights)
- Tried to use all of the available USB ports, one of them worked


So in the end it jailbroken device. Now I have to think what to do with it that I could not do with not jailbroken

Good to hear from you. You’ll find a whole bunch of iPad enthusiasts in this Forum who are only too willing to help other iPad owners and to hear of their experiences. Don’t be afraid to post any questions you may have or use the ‘Search’ button near the top of the Forum web page.

I would add there (or made it more precise):
- running as administrator (this is not the same as with administrative privileges)
- trying other usb ports

combination of these two plus AntiVirus did the work for me. I did not make notes in which order I was doing this, so maybe if someone has similiar problem by trying can define where exactly is solution.

At the moment I am trying to find "what I can do with SSH connection to IPad" - any good sources?
