These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPad using Limera1n for Windows.
Step One Open your web browser of choice and navigate to http://www.limera1n.com. Click the Download for Windows link at the bottom of the screen.
Step Two When prompted save the download to your desktop
Step Three Double click the limera1n.exe file from the desktop to launch the application
Step Four Click the large make it ra1n button
Step Five You iPad will now be placed in recovery mode.
Press both the power and the home buttons.
When Limera1n asks you to, release the power button.
Your phone will now be in DFU mode
As limera1n performs its exploit you will see the image of a lime raindrop on your iPad.
Limera1n will let you know when it is complete.
Step Six After you power back on your iPad you will see a new icon on the SpringBoard entitled limera1n. Press it to continue.
Step Seven Once Limera1n opens select Cydia then press the Install button at the top right of the screen.
Step Eight Once the Cydia installation has completed you must reboot your iPad.
Step Nine When your iPad has restarted you can run Cydia. Let it do all the necessary updates.
NOTE*: To remove the limera1n icon from your desktop you can install CyDelete from Cydia then use it to delete the application. Eventually this capability should be present in limera1n itself.
***A big thanks goes everyone who made this jailbreak possible.

Do NOT use with VMWare Fusion. I spend yesterday 'unbricking' my ipad because I tried to use this with VMWare. Got the iPad free again, used Bootcamp and seems to be working flawlessly.
I get through the jailbreak process, i see the green raindrop but in the end i see no white app icon not even after rebooting the device. I tried many times
For those that can't get it to work, make sure you have latest iTune running in the background when you doing the JB. The iTune will keep asking you to restore the iPad just close the window when it pop up. I tried twice without the iTune running and does not work. The third time I let iTune running in the background and it did the trick. Good luck.
I have Ipad 3.2.2 If the jailbreak doesn't work, will a full restore bring my IPad back to working factory condition with no traces of Cydia or limera1n? Thanks.
Me too, it gets all the way through the process and I see no raindrop. Even after reboot and tried again I got nothing. Hopefully someone can help us out.
It does not work with Ipad 3.2.2 (7B500)
Since limera1n said that it have performed its exploit, there are no image of a lime raindrop on the iPad and no icon on the SpringBoard.
I got limera1n running in my iPad. The only downside is I can't download cydia. Cydia is blocked by Chinese government just like Facebook,Twitter and YouTube. Can someone post a tutorial for iPad proxy setting? Most of the users need to bypass the block by using proxy severs
Thanks!
I tried to install this at 2010-10-10 13:30 and everything is working fine, after JB, I can also installed the 'Cydia' from Limera1n as well.
Cool....
