Waiting for reboot problem

[Belcik]

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

I've updated the Jailbreaking Methods sticky, linked in my sig, with a reminder about anti-virus tools based on your feedback.

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?
