UnJail Breaking an iPad

My iPad is currently running a tethered version of 4.2.1 and I am trying to un jail break it.

I thought I could just get the iOS version 4.3 through iTunes and update my iPad and I would be back to an unjail broke state. When I tried, I receive the following message:

The iPad "ipad name" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (3194)

So then I did search on unjailbreaking and it said to go into iTunes and press the Restore button, which I did and I received the same 3194 error.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm selling my jailbroken iPad 64GB wifi/3g on eBay so I tried to wipe it using the iPad <Setting/General/Reset> method. That got me an iPad stuck on the apple logo when rebooting.

Then I connected to iTunes and used the <option key/ click restore> select the 4.2.1 ipsw from my desktop method and that worked like a charm but took a while. (hold shift key / click restore for PC)

You can d/l 4.2.1. ipsw here

After you get the 4.2.1 installed, then update to 4.3. I'm not sure if you could also just d/l the 4.3 to your desktop and point to that instead and save yourself some time.

4.3 ipsw here

Still get the 3014 error when it tries to verify iPad restore with Apple.

Update: I had to add 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com to my hosts file, reboot my computer and then I just pressed the Restore button in iTunes and then it worked!
