Is there a way to go from 4.2.1 to 4.3?

[pego99]

Marilyn thanks for the help but I have a few more questions about using snowbreeze. Ideally I would like to go from JB4.2.1 to JB5.1.1 on my ipad 1 if I can do this and still have all my screens, folders and apps remain the same is this possible?
Can snowbreeze do this via those instructions without having to remove the 4.2.1 jailbreak first (I don't know how to remove it).

Well I tried this and it didn't work. Itunes said there was a error and didn't restore. I was trying to go from 4.2.1 JB to 5.1.1 JB, maybe that's too much? Should I try 4.2.1 to 4.3.5? How do I deal with the blobs that I have and the fact that the ipad is jailbroken. Is that why the itunes error? Please help.

What error did you get, exactly?

It does not matter what blobs you have. For the iPad1, the most current software is iOS 5.1.1. If you follow the tutorial - backing up both App Store and Cydia apps, then putting your iPad in DFU mode to install iOS 5.1.1 (stock) - then you'll be able to re-jail break the iPad1 on iOS 5.1.1.

You cannot go from jail broken on one iOS to jail broken on another directly; you have to move from jail break iOS, to stock iOS, then jail break the new iOS.

I tried to use the snowbreeze method which was linked from the article you linked to on page 1 of this thread. Snowbreeze says "Once the restore is complete iTunes will treat the iPad just like any other newly restored device, even though it is jailbroken..." Snowbreeze claims there method goes from JB to JB. It creates a special snowbreeze ipsw file that is JB and allows restoring in DFU mode. I followed the instuctions in creating the snowbreeze 5.1.1 ipsw file. Itunes did not give a error number it just said there was a error and it quit the restore. Anyway it didn't work with that method. What method should I use to go to 5.1.1 JB but have all my apps, screens and folders to survive.
