Okay...well...now that at least two of us have "restored" and got stuck, how do we fix this? :-)

As has been mentioned many times already. Download blackra1n here: blackweather

Plug iPad in turn on iTunes. Click make it rain. Your iPad will go into restore mode. Close blackra1n. Click restore. It will tell you 3.2.2 is available. Restore. If it gets stuck at the end of the restore run blackra1n again and make it rain to unlock it. Again kill blackra1n after running it. (you aren't using it to jailbreak.).

Once you are back to 3.2.2 you will have to activate again, best to just restore your profile now.

Once you are back to everything working how you want it and everything is on your iPad opt-click (for mac, shift click for windows) the check for updates button. It will bring up the selection dialog. Select the 4.2 beta 2 restore. It will update if it gets stuck again use blackra1n to resume update. When it comes back you will be in 4.2 with everything intact.

when i start blackrain i get a message: asl.dll is missing.. im on win7.. can some1 help?

cheers..

Well, the answer appeared to be to remove the iPad and turn it off.

When I turned it on again, there was a status bar like it was finishing an upgrade or restore process, and then it booted up with 3.2.2.

No 3G working yet, but device itself seems okay and WiFi working.

Maybe 3G will come back soon.

Thank you for your patience.

Blackra1n EXE file needs to be in the same folder with asl.dll.

Go into Program Files/Common Files and then look for it in the Apple Support folder.

You have to launch it from in that folder.

Helppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i updated my ipad to 4.2 and realized you have to be a developer to actually run it. my ipad has 4.2 on it but it just shows the connect to itunes screen. i cant downgrade it either because im not a developer! Someone register it for me or show a way out!
