Hi,
i have an iPad 1, 3g, with 4.3.3 jailbreak.
Apparently it only has blobs registered for 4.3.3 and 4.3.5.
Baseband is 7.11

In another forum they told me I cannot upgrade to 5.0.1, but I think they interpreted that I wanted to jailbreak to 5.0.1
While i was trying to do that, i always get the 3194 error. Even deleting the gs.apple.com line from the HOSTS file, I get that.

I do not want jailbreak, i want it with regular apple firmware, but iOS 5.

Can I safely restore to iOS 5.1, or there is some risk that I brick it?

Thanks.

You can safely restore the iPad to iOS 5.1.

As your iPad1 is already jail broken, the easiest way to do this is to follow the steps outlined in this tutorial: TUTORIAL - Failsafe method to restore the current version of IOS

If you follow all the steps, at the end you will have your iPad safely on and running the newest iOS.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

If you follow the directions in this tutorial exactly, you should end up with a non jailbroken iPad on the latest iOS version. TUTORIAL - Failsafe method to restore the current version of IOS
If you ever want to unjailbreak again in the future, do it by connecting to iTunes on your computer and starting the restore from iTunes, not the iPad.

If you did a restore from backup, some apps will work and some wont, that's to be expected. A restore from backup will restore your data - but it won't restore the OS.

I think you are going to lose the games scores anyway

The best way to get your iPad ready for a full wipe is when connected to iTunes via PC/laptop (hold power button & home button down for 10secs) until you hear a sound, iTunes will then detect your iPad into DFU mode and ask you to do a full restore iPad backup.
