These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPad Air 2, iPad Air, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPad Mini 4, iPad mini 3, iPad mini Retina, and iPad mini on iOS 9.0 - 9.0.2 using Pangu9 for Windows.
If you aren't already at iOS 9.0.2 we suggest upgrading to the latest firmware using iTunes. You can find download links for iOS 9.0.2 here. We've also posted instructions on how to update the firmware of your iOS device. Please note that you must update using iTunes rather than Software Update. If you used Software Update you should do a backup then restore to iOS 9.0.2 using iTunes.
Step One Create an iClarified folder on your desktop and download the latest version of Pangu into the folder. If your download is a zip file then extract the archive into the same folder.
Step Two Tap Settings from your Springboard then select Touch ID & Passcode. Turn Passcode Off if it is enabled.
Step Three Choose iCloud from the Settings menu then select Find My iPad from the iCloud menu. Ensure the Find My iPad switch is the Off position.
Step Four Enable Airplane Mode by tapping the Airplane Mode switch.
Step Five Connect your iPad to the computer via a USB cable, launch iTunes, and perform a manual backup. It is very important that you remember to backup your device before continuing as you could lose your data if the jailbreak process does not complete successfully.
Step Six Double click the Pangu executable from the iClarified folder on your desktop to launch the application.
Step Seven You will notice that your device is detected by the software. Uncheck the PP checkbox then click the large Start Jailbreak button to begin the jailbreak.
Step Eight You will be prompted to confirm that you've backed up your device and that it's in Airplane Mode, click the Already Did button (the one on the right) to continue.
Step Nine The Pangu app will now begin the jailbreak process.
Your device will reboot and at the 65% mark, you will be asked to renable Airplane Mode.
At the 75% mark, launch the Pangu app from the SpringBoard then tap Accept. When prompted tap OK to allow Pangu access to your photos.
Step Ten Once the jailbreak has completed successfully, your iPad will reboot and a new Cydia app will appear on your Springboard. Congratulations, you're now jailbroken!
*A big thanks to the Pangu team and all the others who contributed to this jailbreak.

You need to connect the device first with iTunes at least once so that iTunes recognizes the device. After that you can close iTunes and start Pangu.
However 1.2.0 hangs at 30% after device reboot every time.
Actually, just found out that you need to start the Pangu-1.2.0.exe as administrator. Would've been nice if the instructions actually did mention this.
Already jailbroke my ipad so far so good but when i opened the pangu window there was not option to Uncheck the PP box, is that normal? Also the version was/is not chinnese.
Once again, the first pass attempt at a JB by Pangu is completely unreliable. Received a 0a error, had to delete my backup, the JB worked, but Cydia won't run. What good is a JB without Cydia? Expect at least 3 revisions by Pangu before you're able to use this JB.
Egad! Tried to avoid the Cydia substraight by holding down the up-arrow during a reboot. My iPad is now a brick. It can't exit startup! It's been in startup for the last twenty minutes. I'll have to wait for it's battery to run out and then restore it before it attempts to restart again.
I had to restore my 6S Plus since I installed the OTA of 9.0.2. It was hanging at the backuping screen. After restored, it worked like a charm. Thanks!
You don't need to restore the device, you only have to delete the iTunes backup that Pangu monkeyed with. Delete it on iTunes and from the C:/Users//AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/MobileSync, empty the trash and you'll be set.
