Daily Tip: How to Jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 via JailbreakMe (including iPad 2)
Wondering how to jailbreak using the just-released JailbreakMe.com exploit? It is probably the easiest jailbreak yet, and we will walk you through it step by step after the break.
There is no need to use your computer; it is all done on your iOS device. We would recommend that you fully backup your device using iTunes prior to any jailbreak. This is always a good thing to do, just in case something should go wrong.
JailbreakMe compatibility
- iPad 2: iOS 4.3.3
- iPad: iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3
- iPhone 4: iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3 (Verizon 4.2.6 to 4.2.8)
- iPhone 3GS: iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3
- iPod touch 4: iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3
- iPod touch 3: iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3
JailbreakMe step by step
Make sure your device is running iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3 or 4.2.6 to 4.2.8 for the Verizon iPhone. The iPad 2 must be running the latest iOS 4.3.3 software.
Back up your device again using iTunes.
Once you have backed up your device, open Safari on your iOS device and go to www.jailbreakme.com//
4. Once the page has opened, you should see the following screen
5. Click on the "FREE" button under the Cydia icon, this will then change to "INSTALL". 
6. Click on "INSTALL" button and it will dump you back to the home screen. 
7. You should now see the Cydia brown icon installing on your home screen.Once complete, open Cydia by tapping on the icon on your home screen 
8. Select one of the three user options, normally User. Hit done, which will appear in the top right of the box when you have selected Who Are You.
9. That’s it, you’re done! You should now see the Cydia home screen on your device. It is now jailbroken and you have full access to all the Cydia jailbreak goodness!
If you do have questions or issues, feel free to visit our Jailbreak Forums for help and tips.

Finally. Thank you
Do I understand right that the iPad2 is still secure when locked... unlike all other previous iOS devices?
What are you talking about???
I like how they made this jailbreak look like you're downloading an app from the app store. Nice.
Does my phone need to be running 4.3.3???
yup. i wish he made the jailbreak for 4.3.3 and below.
It worked for my Verizon 4.2.8
I am running 4.3 on my iPad 2 (Never updated) and its working surprisingly smoothly. Will finally Update my iPhone to 4.3.3 (Currently 4.2.1 : /) when I get home. Hopefully Apple won't release 4.3.4 anytime today at least.
It worked on my Verizon 4.2.7 perfectly!
The compatibility list says that iPhones/iTouchs can be between 4.3 and 4.3.3 (4.2.6 and 4.2.8 for Verizon).
Yeah but the instructions specifically say to use only for 4.3.3 so it's messed. I followed instructions. The download fails Don't try it if u haven't. Been searching online and many others are having same problem.
The site itself says not to or just this article? The writers here kind of muddle details sometimes.
U go to jailbreakme . Com and it specifically shows a graphic saying do not upgrade to 4.3.3. Wish I had gone there first. The link from tipb is a dead link. The instructions are so messed. Claims it works for iPhone from 4.3 to 4.3.3 then says u must have 4.3.3 , dead link and when I go directly to jailbreakme.com it starts to download but disappears. Checking online many others are having same problem.
The author's link and details were bad. As for the site, I wasn't able to find where it said NOT to upgrade to 4.3.3.
Greatness!!! Cant wait to get home for lunch and get this done.
A BIG thank you to the jailbreak community, the dev teams and most especially @comex, for his undying dedication to put the ball back in Apple's court!
The link in step 3 is dead
that link only work from an iOS device to jailbreakit, not to acces from a computer.
Tried this, it worked GREAT - in just a few seconds, i had a jailbroken iphone with my favorite apps downloaded. My phone even seemed smoother - for about an hour. Opened up biteSMS, the screen froze and looked like red parchment, then my phone shut down. It was stuck on the apple logo screen for a few minutes, then finally turned back on - in "it Safe Mode". Tried to restart, and it completely froze on the logo screen. I had no choice but to put my phone in DFU mode and am currently restoring through itunes. I'm not totally sure what went wrong, but now I"m wondering - should I try the jailbreak again, or just leave it pure? I love the jailbreak, I just don't want to have to do this again. Opinions on whether it was the jailbreak itself or the biteSMS app? (That was the only jailbreak app I had downloaded so far, other than Cydia itself, of course). (OHHH - and yes, I am on the 4.3.3 software)
Sounds a lot like daily operation for my idevice without a jailbreak... >.>
You don't know until you try. If you're willing to put in the time to reset the device if it happens again I'd say give ti another try.
Did the exact thing to me JB I am currently doing a restore
I had a similar issue after installing BiteSMS. I've restored now. Gotta be a Bite thing - it's not even listed in the standard repo right now.
I had this problem too with a VZ iPhone. I have never had this issue with a jailbreak before.
Did anyone else try it again to see if it worked? And if you did, did you try bite again to see if that was it? Bite is one of the main reasons I JB, especially with iOS 5 coming up, so I wasn't going to mess with trying it again if bite was the problem. Thanks! =)
Can some one make an article of what cool apps and things you can do with your newly jailbroken ipad2? That would be so useful to those of us who are new to the iPad JB scene. I am familiar with cydia apps on my ipod touch but I know not all of them work with the ipad and some are made just for the iPad.
It's called google and research my friend!
I thought it was called "the forums".
Nice, smart ass. I have been doing that so far and would appreciate it if there was a central article where I can find everything I need in one place. I am surely not the only one.

What the hell?! I thought this was for 4.3.3... My iPad 2 is on 4.3.3 and it worked fine. So I updated my iPhone 4 to 4.3.3 and now it doesn't work and takes me to a page that says don't upgrade? WTF?
The j/b took all of 2 seconds. I had to search to find BiteSMS, the only thing I j/b for. But after receiving a text message, my iPhone reset and stuck at the apple logo. Infinite reset loop ending in a restore. Dunno if this was due to the j/b or Bite.
I had the same exact problem but I had just restarted my iPhone after uninstalling mobile notifier.
tried it 2x, and i am fairly certain that its the bite!
i had the same problem, how do you even reset the phone though???
try getting it to dfu mode with greenpois0n then restore it through itunes
Shouldnt they just have waited for september when IOS5 comes out now were gonna have wait even longer for jailbreakme 4 when apple has another bug
Apple probably already fixed the exploit...
AFTER DOWNLOADING THIS JAILBREAK ANY APP I TRY TO OPEN WONT OPEN AND THEN IT REBOOTS. HOW DO I FIX THIS?
I am getting an "invalid checksum" error on IP2 with 4.3.3
After reading everyone's comments I'm a little more nervous about jbing.
I've never jailbroken before, but I thought I'd give it a go. It was really easy and I thank the folks who worked so hard to get this done. I'm not sure if I'll leave it jailbroken though.
Wow!! So Easy Guys! Awesome
Thanks.
Okay so this is the first time I've jailbroken my device and it worked. Now what should I put on it to make it cool? Haha.
Installous
Where can i get installous?
You can get it from cydia!
worked on my iPad 2
I have tried on my new iPad2 and iphone4 - all works fine. however, i can not copy and save all jailbroken apps form the iDevice to my PC using via iFunbox as I used to do with the other jalibreak method. Anyone know?
has any1 tried and had it work on an ipod touch 4th gen with 4.3.3? im a lil bit nervous 2 try after reading some comments
I have, it works like a charm.
was just watching Cydia Install about halfway through the blue progress bar it the icon dissapears!? did apple patch the explot already? July 8th 2011?
4.3.3 not 4.3.4
I tried twice on my iPhone 4 4.3.3 both times after about 10 minutes it got stuck in an endless boot screen...
totally worked on my ipod touch 4g ios 4.3 ish, the newest one, took 30 seconds, easy, awesome, amazingly smooth.
I currently have my touch 4g 4.2.1 os and greenp0ison jailbroken. Just wondering what effects this will have if I update to 4.3.3 then jailbreak it with new jb. Will I lose and/all previously installed apps etc, and also what will happen to installous, loader etc that is currently on from 4.2.1 JB. thanx for any info ppl can offer.
Need help, jailbreak worked finally. I downloaded Bitesms as always, but everytime I go to use it, my phone freezes to the apple logo and I have to restore the phone to get it to work again. I've jailbroken before and never had this problem. I have an iphone 4.
My iPhone has been at the main Apple loading screen for about 10 minutes. I don't think it is going to turn back on. Can anyone help me or give me any tips?
Search DFU mode or force restore. But once you get back to the connect to itunes, try turning it off. Or whil holding the power and home button let go when it restarts.
how to download jailbreak?
my iPad 2 is on 4.3.2 at the moment. Is there a way to upgrade to 4.3.3 (as opposed to the 4.3.4 which is already out) so I can jailbreak it?

Still my favourite ever method of Jailbreaking! It feels like you paid for it! LOL
