Quick question, since I'm new to jailbreaking: should we give the iDevice a full charge previous to jailbreaking? I know it's usually encouraged when flashing custom ROMs on android phones.
Full charge is not necessary, but it should have some charge at least! You cannot brick an iPad if it were, for example, to run out of battery during the process, however don't run the JB if you have 3% battery remaining! A bit of common sence is all that is required...
