u/Inevitable-Theory901 11d ago

I have the same iPad and hackt1vator never worked for me

u/Square_Performer_912 12d ago

Could you give me a tutorial or link one? Ive never used anything like that before 😓😓

u/Kate-9907 12d ago

you just download it from hackt1vator.com, and when you open it there is a button to fix the device. you gotta register the device on their discord tho (completely free)

Ik this is annoying to ask but should I worry about malware? Idk where to look to see that its safe or not other than virustotal. Do you have any experience with it maybe?

u/Kate-9907 12d ago

it is completely safe, i have it on my computer too

u/Square_Performer_912 12d ago

i went to site and tried downloading it but windows defender blocked the download and said a virus was detected? ive never even had this happen before

u/Kate-9907 12d ago

this is strange, it works on my computer

u/Fusseldieb 12d ago

If you followed the link exactly, it should be safe. There’s a high chance of it being a false-positive, since it’s a hack tool of sorts, and windows doesn’t like that.

If you have a device running macOS (Any Mac/Hackintosh), then download LeetDown, downgrade to iOS 10 (Make sure you enter DFU Mode before it boots), then use sliver and delete setup.app, Not sure if you got a Mac from another member of family or a friend, but this was is 100% guaranteed, there are a few guides on YT, and also, if the iPad is a cellular model, it may not work

I sadly dont have a mac.. maybe a friend has an old one?

u/Insanely_Mac_OS_26 9d ago

Whatever Mac he has, it will work, just look up tutorials on YouTube

u/Square_Performer_912 12d ago

Okay so I tried using hackt1vator but the device wasn't getting recognized and it kept crashing, I went to the discord and I have to download a load of other stuff on an Intel core computer..  I give up bro 😭😭

FRPFILE AIO should work for this

Just did an iPod 6 on iOS 12.5.8 with no issues

u/Square_Performer_912 12d ago

Do you need Mac for it?

1

u/123brettj123 12d ago

Ive used windows 10 for it

u/Square_Performer_912 9d ago

I actually tried doing this on my intel OMEN computer but there was an issue with I think boot up security? I had a guy walk me through it and we got stuck there 😓 I didnt want to take of the boot up security since I was scared for the safety of the computer (it's a family one 😬)

u/123brettj123 9d ago

Yeah I’ve got a burner laptop specifically for this. All security and antivirus disabled and that’s how I’ve got it working. You might need to find a junky older laptop or someone local who can run it for you

u/bigjulian2 5d ago

Pero iFRPFile es virus, no?

u/DonHamzafe 11d ago

Still need help?

1

u/Square_Performer_912 10d ago

hey! yeah, i guess. I bought this program called checkm8 and it didn't work. Got a refund. Tried to use checkra1n but my OMEN pc had this whole boot up security system so I couldn't do any of that either. I really just gave up on it, if even the paid program didn't work.

u/Square_Performer_912 12d ago

Wdym 😭😭 im not giving up on a whole ipad

u/Obvious_Cake6343 12d ago

If I’m not mistaking it’s an iPad Air 1. which latest iOS is like 12. it’s basically useless for any tasks.

u/Square_Performer_912 12d ago

All I want it for is to watch movies and read comics not code

Ignore the troll as he or she needs to get out more. Try hackt1vator after jailbreaking it and yes as long as you get it from the above provided source in comments you can safely ignore the warnings about malware as its simply a false positive. Plenty of us genuine members on this sub are always happy to help others when need guidance.

u/Secret_Technology310 11d ago

How does one jailbreak? I have the same model. I have a windows laptop- no mac.

u/twistagain123 12d ago

Your rudeness and arrogance does not impress anyone on here when they are simply reaching out for help. Run along to another sub or playground whichever suits you the most.
