So basically If I choose to Jail Break my Ipad, it will allow me to personalize more and use more 3rd party apps. Are there any downfalls to this?
I've downloaded the pc spirit to my pc desktop, connected my iPad and hit the "jailbreak" button.
Unfortunately it gives me an error message right away,
" the ordinal 3719could not be located in the dynamic link library LIBEAY32.dll."
Any advice or recommendations would be much appreciated.
Pc is running windows xp
iTunes is the latest version
My iPad is running version 3.2

Guys I figured it out.
For those of you getting this same error message, this is what you need to do to correct it.
Go to:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\libeay32.dl
Copy this "libeay32.dl file
And paste it in here :
c:\Windows\System 32
Now try running Spirit again!
Another error message I received was :
"Spirit needs iTunes ver 9 to work" even though I have this version installed!
This is what you need to do to correct that:
Google " Spirit Fixer by Kirma v1.0.1"
Download it
Run it and install
Then move the desktop icon for the Spirit program into a new folder you create on the desktop.
Open that folder and click on the Spirit program icon, and voilà ! You're in business!
Ok... I'd rather leave it to Apple. Not worth the time or hassle for me. Not to mention I'd rather Apple worry about security.
But I get the argument. Thanks.

I have JB'd my iPad, I ran the Firmware Umbrella and I see the Cydia has my SHSH blobs on file.
I think there's a small area that I'm confused about, and that's "updating" the firmware on my iPad.
I've already modified my hosts file to point to sayurks server (sp?), so I'm not terribly concerned about running into any unwanted updates, but I guess my area of confusion is this (Please note this is for the WiFi Version, not the 3G):
1) I see a lot of people talking about the fact that if you do not back up your blobs and you update to a different firmware, you'll NEVER be able to Jailbreak your device again because your blobs don't exist. I don't quite understand that.
2) If I decide I want to upgrade to the new firmware, with my "blobs" on file, but then want to "downgrade", is there a step by step guide as to what to do? How do I access my SHSH blobs on the server? Or the ones I have downloaded to my computer?
I appreciate all the help, and I know a few of these might be stupid questions

Sorry guys!! I'm probably not the first to asked but how can I restored my Ipad if i'm not a jailbreak enthusiast ? I'm already aware that I should used Itunes but is there a website or thread with a well known procedure. I want to jailbreak my Ipad but I have to cover my bases before doing it.
