For info, you can jailbreak 5.0.1 on iPad1 just fine with redsn0w, but first....

To restore back to stock 5.0.1, follow all the steps in this guide - TUTORIAL - Failsafe method to restore the current version of IOS

i cant jailbreak it, it says that the build is unrecognize... help me with this jb thing...thanks

Redsn0w is not ready for iOS 5.0.1, yet. So, when you first start the jailbreak you must have downloaded and then point redsn0w at iOS 5.0. The iOS on your iPad will remain 5.0.1, but the jailbreak will be done by using the 5.0 coding.

In other words, you need both iOS versions on your computer: 5.0.1 to install on your iPad to upgrade it and 5.0 to jail break and reboot your iPad.

Then, after jail breaking, when you reboot your iPad, you FIRST must point redsn0w at iOS 5.0.1. Then, after you see/get the acceptance pop-up from redsn0w, then click the 'just Reboot' button.

This "pointing" action MUST be done every time you reboot the iPad.

Hope this helps.

i have a ipad wifi only 16bg with 4.3.5. there is no way to downgrade right? i read that the wifi only are a bit different, but this is not true right?


i just bought it, it came with 4.3.5. even being wifi only there is nothing to do right?

Right.

You need to have saved SHSH blobs for iOS 4.3.3 in order to downgrade the WiFi-only iPad2 to that iOS. Since you just bought it, there is no way you could have saved them. So, no downgrade possible.

Sorry.
