iPad 2 or iPad 1?

You connect it to iTunes and it will download 4.3.4 and not 4.3.3 so DON'T restore via iTunes if you want to stay on 4.3.3

Since I'm not sure if wants it for iPad 1 or 2, click on the link below and choose the necessary firmware for your iPad (1 or 2)

This only works for iPad 1 (Wifi & 3G) and iPad 2 Wifi Only. Will not work if you have the iPad 2 3G version.

Have you jailbroken before? If you have, then Cydia may have stored your SHSH

There is no way to get it from Apple as Apple no longer signs it (You can set TU to get it directly from Apple during the signing period as sometimes Saurik's server can be overloaded)

BUT

You are correct that if @yeahh has jb'ed his iPad previously, there is a strong possibility that his SHSH has been saved to Saurik's server. There is a chance however that Saurik may have been overloaded as there were more than 2 million iDevices that jailbroke via jailbreakme 3.0 so Saurik may have not been able to process all the SHSH (That's why you see the word TSS Pending in Cydia)

But as I said, I strongly believe that if you have jailbroken, the SHSH is probably in Cydia so just point TU to get the SHSH from Cydia and he should be good to go (unless he's using the iPad 2 3G)

Based on the comments it seems like it's not working for the 3G. We need some sort of tutorial from iClarified or something because there is a lot of parameters in TU that may/may not make it work.

If it appears in Cydia that you're good to go. I personally would get the SHSH from Cydia (via TU) and save it locally (to a computer, dropbox site ... whatever you like)

Just use TU and go to the advance Tab and make sure you check the button that says "Get SHSH from Cydia" and press the big "Save SHSH" button in TU and it will get it from Cydia and save it locally in your computer.

I remembered editing (or actually adding a line) in the .com.springboard.plist which enables multi-gesture. I didn't have to install winterboard.

If you have saved the SHSH for the iPad 2 for the 4.3.3 then you should be able to downgrade using TinyUmbrella or by pointing your host file to Cydia.

Dev team mentioned that due to the baseband of the iPad 2 3G getting upgraded with the new firmware, and due to the fact that there is some sort of unique ID generated by the new baseband, it is not possible to downgrade even if you have saved the SHSH.

HOWEVER,

TinyUmbrella in its latest post (version 5.00.06) mentioned that he has updated the program to ALLOW iPad 2 3G owners to downgrade so I'm not sure.

There is no harm trying. Report back to us if you are successful.

If your new iPad 2 Wifi is already on 4.3.4, you cannot downgrade (since you do not have SHSH for 4.3.3 saved)

If your new iPad 2 wifi is on 4.3.1, you also cannot restore to 4.3.3 (as you do not have 4.3.3 SHSH saved)

If your new iPad 2 comes with 4.3.3, rejoice and be happy as all you need to do is to visit jailbreakme.com and jailbreak your iPad 2.

HOWEVER,

If anything happens to your iPad (you need to send for warranty repair or something went wrong with your iPad), you will have no choice but to restore it to whatever latest firmware Apple has released for the iPad 2

Nope, I think the dev and even comex is concentrating their effort on iOS 5 now. It took them like 4 months to come up with the jailbreakme 3.0, so I don't think they will waste their effort on 4.3.4 as iOS 5 is coming out in a couple of months or less.

So how many infraction has it been for this thread? David will be visiting soon I guess.

IPad 2 can only be jailbroken on 4.3.3. There are NO other version that the iPad 2 can be jailbroken other than 4.3.3

I sent mine for warranty claim (screen bleeding) and was worried that I would lose my jailbreak, but it came back with a new unit on 4.3.3 (I have no SHSH for this new one though so if anything happened....)

Got my iPad 2 replacement unit from Machines last week and it was on 4.3.3 so was able to jb using jailbreakme. Anyone know if iFaith will work with the iPad 2? Want to try and save the SHSH but not sure if it will work with iFaith. For sure it will not be possible with TinyUmbrella

If you do a stock restore, the your iPad will be upgraded to 4.3.5

Even I you have downloaded the 4.3.1 and use the Shift + Restore method, you will be not be successful, you will get a 3194 error which means Apple has recognized that you are trying to restore to an ineligible firmware (as apple is only signing 4.3.5).

The ONLY way you can restore to firmware other than 4.3.5 is if you have saved the SHSH for ech firmware you want to restore to.

If he has never jailbroken before, he may not have saved his SHSH for 4.3.3, so he will not be able to upgrade to 4.3.3

This is my experience. I sent in 3 iPad for warranty fix to Machines KLCC.

1. My ipad 2 was on 4.3.3 (jailbroken) and I restored it to 4.3.5 to get my warranty - I got a new replacement set on 4.3.3
2. My wife's was on 4.3.1 (not jailbroken) - got new replacement on 4.3.3 (which I promptly jailbreak)
3. My father in-law's iPad 1 was on 4.3.1 (jailbroken) - restored it to 4.3.5 for warranty and got a new unit as replacement on 4.3.3

So ALL the replacement unit is on 4.3.3 while the units on sale is on 4.3.5.

The ONLY way to jailbreak an iPad 2 is IF your iPad 2 is on 4.3.3. You just need to visit www.jailbreakme.com

There is no other way and no other firmware version.

The two iPad 2 that I bought in late March both have severe light bleeding. So when I come back to KL, sent them straight to Machines. Both were replaced with new units though my wife's unit took 3 units replacement (new unit came back and still got light bleeding)

My father in-law's iPad 1 suddenly went blank and restoring to 4.3.5 doesn't help so that one went back to Machines as well.

The Machines people know me already, the one with 3 iPad and all 3 had to go for warranty.

Now happy coz all units are on 4.3.3 and all brand spanking new.
