I managed to solve the issue I had with sideloadly not working. the ipad is now jailbroken, some interesting facts I found:

• system partition on 16 GB ipad, is 3GB
• on 9.3.6 you only have 100 MB empty space
• there are attempts to offload files and programs to /var but it is dangerous since a reboot could brick a tethered device
• the stashing app for this purpose is not compatible with 9.3.6
• ios is based on darwinOS so it basically is bsd.

my plans for the future:

• try to find the sourcecode for the stashing app so I can port it
• try and find an untether for 9.3.6 or make one myself
• try to run postmarketos, maybe also changing the partitions

possible issues:

• the bootloader is closed afaik so the device might brick if rebooted

edit: the solution presented itself. the vm didnt catch the itunes connection although it caught the device. leaving the device connected while rebooting it made the change. solved.

Hi folks, I'm a tinkerer and like to hack old devices. Currently running postmarketOS on an old oneplus6. Now I want to try to repurpose my old ipad 3 with LTE.

Edit: The problem might be the windows vm since an iphone 11 with linghtning cable also doesnt get recognized.

For that purpose I have tried:

• https://jailbreaks.app/legacy.html -> phoenix (Error: app could not be installed at this time)
• windows VM (I'm on linux) with usb connect, I can see the ipad in device manager and open the harddrive but neither itunes nor sideloadly will connect to it. impactor also wont recognize the device
• exchanging the cable for a different (newer) one, also no change
• resetting the ipad to factory settings to free up space, no change
• reinstalling itunes, icloud, sideloadly
• restarting between each step

If you stumble into this post, chances are you have scoured the internet for solutions to this issue. The few mentions of it out there are answered with completely worthless "turn it off an on again" answers.

Well after spending a few evenings picking apart this issue I finally was able to add an Outlook account using the settings app on my iPad 4 running iOS 10.3.4.

TL:DR

• Install version .12 of ssl-kill-switch2 from their repo
• Add your account :)
• Remove ssl-kill-switch2

Background

Without the above steps, if you try to add an Outlook.com account to your device within the settings app, you would only see a blank WebView splash for half a second, and then it closes. This leaves you with a null account that doesn't work. As you can see, there's not much to go on, and the internet won't be of any help as stated

Well, the description is still directly copied from Reddit (with no edits) and no one is actively posting. Will you move the Reddit members soon? Would love to see this active. Maybe you remember me. I caused some trouble on r/LegacyJailbreak before. But thought I would offer myself as a mod for this community anyways. I would call myself quite dedicated and active. If you look at [email protected], you see a great introduction to iDevice collecting and Jailbreaking. But anyways. Moving the community would be the next right step.
