Because the iPad 2 uses the old A5 chip, a standard USB cable connected to a PC or Mac often cannot send the custom payload required to bypass the bootloader directly. To achieve a true untethered bypass, the most reliable and permanent method involves using cheap hardware components to send a checkm8 exploit. Requirements: An board. A USB Host Shield (stacked on top of the Arduino). A legacy 30-pin Apple Sync cable .
