hi all. im a newbie and i am sorry if this question is simple. but i am just starting to learn about the Apple world thru my new ipad2. i have researched and i still do not have a definitive answer and then i found this site, which seems to be the best place to get the right answer. before i came here i keep getting conflicting answer as to if my ipad2 can be jailbroken. conflicts include whether it is 3g or not or "wifi only" or 3g-gsm or 3g-cdma etc. well mine is wifi+3g. does that mean im out of luck because its 3g. my settings say 4.3 as to the version. does that mean im out of luck. it seems that i need to get to 4.3.3. but if i do does that mean im good to go. how do i get to 4.3.3 (if that indeed is the answer) from 4.3. obviously id like to be able to run stuff not just from the apple store. thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome! Start here:


Official iPad2 Jailbreak Thread

i did check that out. it seems that i cannot, but i thought there was a way to get 4.3.3. i guess this is my welcome to the apple world. thats why im a pc and android user.

I suggest you wait for 5.0 to be jail broken. No idea when it will come out, but it will some time. Just keep following IPF and when it happens it will be reported here very soon.

Sent from my iPad using iPF

I will do that. Thanks very much

3g-gsm is same as wifi + 3g model. if in any case apple still allows you to update to 4.3.3 here is the link [Moderator edit: Removed link to external site because we already have that type of info here... Please, read the rules. Thanks.]

huh glassheart? i thought i was out of luck until 5.0. it also says on the forum FAQ that nothing can be done. see here at the official thread Official iPad2 Jailbreak Thread . i see you are also a noob. are you sure about this and is there somethig that we are not aware of? how would one know "if apple allows " this. and if they do, what are the procedures for upgrade since Itunes tries to force 4.3.5 on me? anyone? thanks

To be clear, it cannot be done if you don't have saved blobs for 4.3.3, and it sounds like you don't. Our sticky is accurate and up to date.

thanks for clearing that up. correct me if im wrong but i would only have saved blobs if my ipad2 was already on 4.3.3 at one point?

Not quite right, but you would only have them if you asked Apple for them in May or June this year, when 4.3.3 was the current firmware. That was the only time you could get them. You can get blobs without having the version of IOS installed. It's all about timing.
