I had to restore a while ago and had to jailbreak 3.2.2 for the iosx2 thing. Green poison and redsnow fail a million times, but then one tine, it just worked. I still don't know why. But I am on 4.3.3 now. And I used snowbreeze. But I don't think they have updated snowbreeze for 4.3.5 yet.
Just checking, because all your problems do point to USB / connectivity issues, you are plugging directly into the main USB sockets on your PC, yes? You are not plugged into a hub or monitor or keyboard or anything else like that. You should always do this stuff connecting directly to the motherboard if you can...
I'm pretty stumped. Everything points to the PC being the problem, but it's so long since I did a 4.2.1 JB, and I don't have a device suitable to test it at the moment... Sorry.
Well I'm glad you have your tethered jailbreak. I've removed the link to an external blog as per our rules. Please read them! We have a perfectly good redsn0w tutorial here with all the instructions, including on tethered 4.3.5... - http://www.ipadforums.net/jailbreak...tutorial-jailbreak-ipad1-redsn0w-windows.html
Anyhoo, there is nothing unusual in what you are describing about your jailbreak above. I guess you didn't take the time to read any of our other stickies? - tethered is explained in this one here - http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-hacking/24377-jailbreaking-methods-ipad.html
The fact you can still reboot is just because you have not installed any jailbreak apps or tweaks yet which hook into the kernel. As soon as you do that you will lose the ability to reboot the iPad...
Try installing SBSettings, Winterboard, or anything else like that, and see what happens. You will be fully tethered then.
Glad you got it working. As I say, greenpois0n worked for countless folks, including me multiple times. That's why I was looking towards your environment rather than anything else.
How do I tell if a tweak hooks into the kernel?

When you go to install something in Cydia, and you hit "install" in the top right, in that white box that pops up it will have a list of what is about to be installed. Look at that list. If you see "MobileSubstrate", it is hooking into the kernel. Not a popcorn kernel, the iPad kernel.
