Jailbreaking The 1st Gen iPad in Less Than 5 Minutes

Yeah, I know this isn't the normal kind of content I usually make but I feel like after my last iPad video (where I basically do this but in 20~ minutes) I owe the vintage jailbreaking community and all 8.5k people who were just looking for something that actually has the information they needed. to those I hope this video helped!~

I have been stuck on this for 3 weeks after receiving a first gen iPad that was found in a dumpster. Took 5 minutes and worked like a charm

[@reneperez2126]

Really ? Youre not jokin ?

@@reneperez2126 I’m deadass. iTunes kept giving me errors and the 3utools shit did it in 5 min. Reset and jailbreak

3u tools requires windows 7 or xp to jailbreak old devices like this (at least now they do), due to "driver compatibility issues"

Very Usefull, had to use the utools version you used as the newer one failed but everything fine. Thanks, 5 Minutes as stated.

[@chubbyboy2242]

Will this allow me to transfer files from my PC to the Ipad? I bought an Ipad 1st gen with the intention of watching .MP4 videos on it, but I cant figure out a way to transfer files to it.

[@lufthansase2584]

I know a way, but it’s a little tricky. Send over the mp4 video to your modern smartphone. Email your mp4 files to your iPad. Yea it’s a little crappy but it works.

[@WindowsG]

^^^ though you might need to use handbrake and transcode the file first tho :3

[@d.e.b.b5788]

@michael swazzy A regular mp4 with 640 x 480 video will be perfect, but it will also play 720p files sometimes. It's finicky. So it's not you; it's the clunky Apple software, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've had this ipad 1 for almost ten years, and often I have had to create a whole new windows installation with only itunes on it for it to work and be able to transfer videos and ebooks onto the ipad 1. And sometimes even that doesn't work. So I bought an Amazon Fire tablet, the new 10" one (got it for $75 or so during a sale), works fine once I took all the crap software and ads off of it. But I still use the ipad1 when I go on trips, because the fire tablet's battery dies quick.

can i install instagram/youtube and other social media handles after this?
