Unless you have SHSH blobs for iOS 4 (any version) AND iOS 5.1.1, I'm afraid you cannot downgrade that iPad to any jail breakable version. And, I'm not sure if you can downgrade from iOS 7 even with those blobs (you could on iOS 6, but I've to heard about from iOS 7).

If you don't have those blobs, then there is no way to downgrade to jailbreak; you'll have to wait for the iOS 7 jail break.

If you do have the blobs, you'll need the redsn0w jailbreaking tool. Holler if you need help using it...

P.S. And, since you talk about a jail broken iPad, I've taken the liberty of moving your post over to the Hacking section. Thanks for your understanding.

here is what I tried. in redsn0w, I went to extras, even more, restore, IPSW, I selected this file iPad2,1_5.1.1_9B206_Restore.ipsw , then I selected iPad2,1_4.3.5_8L1_Restore.ipsw, device goes into recovery mode, then I get this , then I click on local and I get this so I select, 00000B0F38FA938A_4.1-8B117_cydia.shsh and it doesn't like my blobs. I tried remote also but I get this

That's actually not possible. Build 8B117 is 4.1, and the iPad 2 Wifi model began on 4.3, and the Rev-A model back on 5.1, so iOS 4.1 never existed on the iPad 2. You're using blobs for another make and model of device. Blobs and/or APTickets must match that of your specific device

Did you ever save the blobs for your device (usually with Tiny Umbrella)? As willerz2 said, you can only used blobs specific to your device - and you must and can only save them at the time Apple was signing that firmware. In other words, you can't save them after the fact.

no i never saved the blobs for my device. i did not know the blobs are device specific. well thanks any. i guess my option is to wait for ios7 jailbreak.

You have 5.1.1 blobs with valid APTickets. Your 6.1.2 blobs are fragmented and do not include APTickets, not that it matters at the moment since you cannot selectively restore to 6.1.2. Since you do not have iOS 4 blobs for your device, you cannot downgrade to 5.1.1
