From TU Blog:





I've updated TinyUmbrella for iPad 2 GSM/CDMA users allowing them to restore 4.3.x without the fear of the recovery loop. Assuming you have 4.3, 4.3.1, 4.3.2, or 4.3.3 SHSHs and restore to one of those versions, TU will allow the restore to complete successfully.
It is important to note that I added this functionality so that iPad 2 users wouldn't be left without a way to downgrade to 4.3-4.3.3. It is also important to note that this functionality will only remain for so long as Apple signs the current firmware (4.3.4). Use it while you can! :)
Special thanks to @oLunatiko for his help in testing this release!

Wow!

That's truly awesome for the iPad2 GSM/CDMA users!

Thanks for seeing/posting that. Should alleviate a few concerns for the new "I'm-just-learning-how-to-do-this-oh-rats-I-goofed-up-up-and-now-I-can't-restore!" jail breakers out there. :D

In case anyone reading skipped over this part of confucious's post:

1) You STILL have to have saved those iOS 4.3.3 SHSH blobs!!! No blobs = no restore. This Tiny Umbrella update means nothing without them...

2) And yes, that window's now closed - you can't get 4.3.3 SHSH blobs any longer

Sorry for been a pain but am I right in understanding that if iPad 2 3G owners have saved 4.3.3 blobs we can downgrade from 4.3.4 as long as Apple are still signing 4.3.4 (probably until the release of iOS 5) do you need 4.3.4 blobs also from latest TU or not?
Thanks

No, you don't need 4.3.4 already saved, but TU will save them for you anyway if you ask it to...
