How to: Fix iPad Location Services Bug after Jailbreak

So many iPad Jailbrokers have reported broken location services after using Spirit on their iPad WiFi, if you jailbreak a WiFi iPad and then attempt to use an app that wants to prompt you to use your location, you get a failure message. The problem is due to an unfixed bug in OpenSSH.
Note: You need a Mac to run following commands from Mac OS.


Steps:
Step 1: Open SBSettings and make sure that SSH toggle is activated (green) and write down the Wi-Fi IP address of the iPad in a paper.
Step 2: Open Terminal , and type in the following and replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your iPad WiFi address:
ssh root@xxx.xxx.x.xxx
Step 3: You will be prompted to enter your password. If you have not changed it, then the default password should be alpine.
Step 4: Now execute following commands
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locationd.plist
Press Enter,
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locationd.plist

That’s it! The location Services will work again.[via iPadintosh]
