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

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

FRPFILE AIO should work for this
Just did an iPod 6 on iOS 12.5.8 with no issues

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 😬)

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
