I think, that iPad software is OK after downgrading to 4.3.3 (with 1013 error too). Baseband module is also OK - because it is the same version. Our problem is: to activate the iPad without connecting to iTunes. iPad 3g after downgrading only needs activation. But this couldn't be done - apple site wants to upgrade ipad to newest version of firmware. What's alternate method of activation of iPad (without iTunes)?

The best bet right now would be to sit and wait

No seriously, @notcom just tweeted an hour ago, that he's looking into the code of tinyumbrella to see what went wrong. So i guess we will hear from him again pretty soon.

Just follow @notcom on twitter and you will get the latest news on this issue.

Edit:
Damn, i'm slow, he already tweeted about releasing 5.00.08 half an hour ago
So keep an eye out for the new version on his website

You Have succeeded in downgrading iPad 2 3G+Wifi to 4.3.3 using TU 5.00.08 "after many many tries"?

Please share the details as I have been unsuccessful with TU 5.00.08 on my iPad 2 3G+Wifi.

Nothing special: I tried once more on "almost" new computer with windows XP, and TU 5.00.07 (after fresh installation Java, iTunes, umbrella). The same effect as in previous times on Win7 - error 1013. AND THEN from tinyumbrella site I download TU 5.00.08 - newborn&fresh since 10 minutes.
So on the same computer (Win XP SP3,jdk-6u26-windows-i586.exe,
iTunes 10.4 x86) tried once more:
DFU mode,
TU+start TSS server
iTunes+shift+downgrade
whole downgrade process past smoothly, with no 1013 error.

You must use 5.00.08. No other version of TU will work for iPad2.

Talking about timing... My 32 gb 3G iPad2, JBen with JBme.com, had a problem with volume rocker (down is fine but up does not work) and I was trying to restore it with 5.00.7 (5.00.8 wasn't out at the time) all Saturday and Sunday (error 1013) without any success. I finally gave up late Sunday night and upgraded to 4.3.5 and proved it is a mechanical problem (thought might be an app conflict). I brought it in to the local Apple store Monday morning and after a quick test, they gave me a replacement -- with 4.3.3 on it.

Naturally/unfortunately it does not have 4.3.3 blob saved. I was able to JB it again and started downloading purchased apps from Cydia. When I was trying to activate the iBluever, I got an error stating I was blacklisted due to too many activation. I have an iPod touch 2G, iPad1 wifi, and this iPad 2 wifi+3G, all have gone through may times of restoration/upgrades. I got on the website and sent app owner eric several messages and all got deleted and ignored (even offered a re-purchase). Ironically I have been advocating for iBluever on the forum whenever I can.

Thank googness that iFile activation still succedded, Retinapad is fine, haven't tried FirewalIP yet. Had I known that 5.00.8 would work for the downgrade, I most likely will keep that old iPad2 (you can still turn the volume up in the settings/sound. But hey at least I got a replacement with 4.3.3 on it. I just need to be extra careful not to screw this one up before the new JB comes out.
