Important Update: Apple iOS 4.3 final version has been released. You can now jailbreak iPad 4.3 with Sn0wbreeze 2.3.

Place all these files in similar folder, anywhere on your Mac.

Step 1: Patching PwnageTool to Jailbreak iPad iOS 4.3

  1. Right Click on PwnageTool app then click on click on “Show Package Contents”
  2. Copy the downloaded PwnageTool bundle (iPad1,1_4.3_8F5148b.bundle) to Contents> Resources >Firmware Bundles. Then close the folder.

Step 2: Creating Custom iPad 4.3 Firmware

  2. Select Expert Mode for PwnageTool, then select your device (iPad).
  3. Browse and select the downloaded iOS 4.3 Beta firmware IPSW
  4. Select “Build” in PwnageTool and click the Next button
  5. Let PT complete the jailbreak process. Once complete, it will create custom IPSW for you.

  2. It will have paths to the tools, change them if required
  3. Start Terminal on Mac and run following commands one by one:
  • Note: First you need to take the Terminal in the directory where ramdisk_maker is located. Then run following commands:

cd ramdisk_maker

./ramdisk_maker.sh

Now follow the instructions as shown in the Terminal window, you will need to:

  1. Create a directory named My_Ramdisk
  2. Rename the iOS 4.3 IPSW to .zip:
  3. Extract the .zip file and look for a file named 038-0408-002.dmg therein.
  4. Copy the 038-0408-002.dmg file to My_Ramdisk directory. Terminal Screen will now show the next step instructions.
  5. Go to ramdisk_maker directory and open the Options.plist file in a text editor.
  6. Search for <key>SystemPartitionSize</key> .. then look for <integer> tag. Place 1116 in the integer tag (should look like <integer>1116</integer>).
  7. Save and close the Options.plist file.
  8. Now move the edited Options.plist file in My_Ramdisk directory. Once you do it, Terminal will move on to next step.
  9. A new file will automatically be created in My_Ramdisk directory, file name: final_ramdisk.dmg
  10. Rename the file final_ramdisk.dmg to 038-0408-002.dmg
  11. Copy the 038-0408-002.dmg file to the extracted iOS 4.3 (Replace the existing file).
  12. Select all files in extracted iOS 4.3 directory, right click and select “Compress 9 Items” to archive it in zip format again.
  13. Rename the zip file to change its extension from .zip to .ipsw.
