IPAD 2 jailbreak 4.3

[Wookiee2cu]

Yes 4.3 came with the iPad 2 when it initially shipped. 4.3.1 was released within a week I believe and units started shipping with 4.3.1 within a few weeks of initial launch. As far as the seller having saved shsh blobs I do not know if it would be an issue since you would be loading it on a different computer and a new iTunes account. As far as I know there were no performance/new features with the firmware updates. 4.3.1 was to patch the exploit, 4.3.2 supposedly fixed connection issues for some Verizon 3G models and 4.3.3 was the update for no longer saving the cache of location services. To verify the firmware, go to settings-general-about-version.

Well I have found a few sellers on craigslist but no one has responded..I have noticed that the majority of people selling iPads or even iPods for that matter on craigslist have never even heard of a jailbreak so I doubt I am going to have any success here. Even the used iPads they are selling I bet they already upgraded so I don't know where to turn from here. Too bad there isn't a store that sells the iPad 2 from the launch date..if you find a place online that sells iPad 2's from April release please let me know..

Hopefully you hear back from the sellers. I wouldn't be surprised that when a jailbrake does come out and if its only for 4.3 you would see some on craigslist and eBay and specifically mentioning that they can be jailbroken; don't be surprised to see them asking for more money as well.

Well hopefully we will be hearing word in the next few days about this jailbreak working with the latest firmware..it would be a shame if it only worked with 4.3..Maybe they are just holding onto some secret info because they don't want Apple to patch it and release an updated firmware..just wish they would at least say something about what is going on

I've got the same issue, I think I'll jailbreak it when I can and then just exchange it once the jailbreak comes out for all iOS versions

So for those like me who want to get the iPad 2 we would have to hope that the new IOS 5 isn't patched as well so they can jailbreak it..I wish I knew where to purchase an iPad 2 that has 4.3 on it

I just got replacement iPad2 from apple store and it has 4.3 my older ipad2 had 4.3.2 so may be I am lucky!!!

Just thinking logically: newer version will have patches from old versions plus new features.

You can expect exploits in a new features only as the old bugs will be 100% patched.

if bootrom exploits are found for the A5 chip, bootrom exploits cant be "patched" by apple...

They can't patch the ones already out in the market, but they can patch it so future ones can not be exploited

From my understanding once a bootrom exploit is found the only way apple can 'patch' it is by changing the hardware (eg from A4 chip to A5 chip).

User land exploits are the ones that can can patch easily through firmware updates.

I'm not that up in this area of electronics, but isn't the bootrom just a bit of software on a chip? Kind of like a bios on a pc motherboard, where the pc one can be updated by the user, the ipad only by apple?

I guess we will find out soon enough

Bootrom hasn't been dumped yet. I don't think "soon" is the most proper definition.
