When you connect your iPad to the iTunes thru USB the iTunes will show you 2 button which is "update" and "restore", the update button will automatically download a newest signed iOS from the apple server and update your iPad automatically. While the restore button will be use if you have the latest iOS which already downloaded thru your iTunes to restore the FW to your ipad. Pressing the "shift" key and restore button is for restoring a manual downloaded iOS where you will need to locate the iOS that you save to a particular location.

Restoring from backup wont lose the jailbreak?

The VPN thingy will only be needed if you have Error establishing a database connection message after pressing the Absinthe App for the last jailbreaking process otherwise you don't need to perform the task at all.

Then if wanna warranty claim how to remove the jailbreak if restore doesnt remove it?

i don't know why but i use safari every time without even a single crash (ipad2 wifi with ios5.0.1)

Go to your iTunes Preferences and under the Devices Tab, it should have a list of your Backup. Check the time of the backup before your restore and that's the one you should choose when you are restoring your backup.

Absinthe will create a backup of your iPad 2 and it will be an empty Backup so choose an earlier backup file.

Try quitting all your apps in the multitasking bar and perform a soft reset(press and hold both standby and home button till your iPad rebooting logo).

shift+restore / shift+update then find ipsw in pc folder = reinstall the OS?

Shift + restore and choose the firmware file that you have downloaded will wipe clean your iPad (Clean restore) and re-install the iOS

There is no Shifit + Update

Restore (without pressing Shift) does the same thing (Clean Restore) but iTunes will download the firmware file (which is prone to disconnection) that is why people recommend you do a Shift + restore as you download the firmware file outside of iTunes so you don't need to worry about iTunes failing to download the file.

Supposedly you don't have to do a clean restore with Absinthe but as I mentioned, a lot of users are reporting long wait times due to the fact that Absinthe uses the Backup/Restore exploit so the bigger your existing Backup, the longer it will take for the jailbreak process to finish.

izit ipad 2 ios5 already jailbroken?
