Note to Self: iPad mini 2 Jailbreak and Activation Lock Bypass

What I did to make it work

Jailbreak (checkra1n)

  1. Flash JustatechCheckra1n0.12.4Windows.iso using Rufus or balenaEtcher.
  2. Disable Secure Boot in BIOS.
  3. Boot from the USB.
  4. Follow on-screen instructions.
  5. When the progress bar moves and it says “Right before Trigger”, quickly unplug and re-plug the USB.
  6. Wait until the process finishes.

Bypass Activation Lock

  1. Turn off Real-time protection in Windows Security.
  2. Install Hackt1vator from https://hackt1vator.com/ and run it.
  3. Connect the iPad to the PC and follow the instructions.

Optional: Install Sileo instead of Cydia

  1. Same steps as jailbreak, but use odysseyn1x-v2.16-amd64.iso after that.
  2. No need to unplug/re-plug USB.
  3. Do not install Cydia.
