Hi everyone,

I have some problems with my ipad2 while trying to update to 5.01, hope someone can help me here.

My iPad2 is jail broken.

Current Firmware: 4.3.3

I want to update it to 5.01.

These are the things i tried...

1) Download 5.01 firmware and shift+restore using iTunes selecting the new firmware --> Gives 3194 error
2) a) Downloaded Tinyumbrella and followed instructions in the tutorial about the blobs, last seen was with 4.3.3, 5.0 and 5.01 blobs at general page
b) Started the TSS server and put iPad2 into DFU mode while connect to computer
c) iTunes started, prompting to restore in recovery mode
d) Shift-restore with 5.01 firmware ---> Gives 1600 error
e) Closed iTunes and reopened it followed by step d ---> Gives 1600 error
f) Exited DFU mode and shift-restore ---> Gives 1600 error

I am stuck at the 1600 error and not sure what else to try.

Do I need to download the 4.3.3 firmware and shift-restore it to 4.3.3 before upgrading to 5.01?

Hope someone solved this issue with this similar problem. Thanks in advance!

From what I know is we can't update to 5.0.1 at the moment until ih8sn0w releases his tool to do so which may take some time.

Your only options are 5.1 stock or 4.3.3 jb

Correct. You can't restore 5.0.1 to an iPad2 as things stand today, even if you have blobs.

Thank you very much iRager and f4780y! Guess I've got to wait for 5.1 jb before updating.

I'm sorry, but you cannot put iOS 5.0.1 on that iPad2. The only iOS you can put on, at this time, is iOS 5.1, which is not jail breakable ... yet.

The tethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1 is for the iPad1 only. The iPad1 can be jail broken at any iOS (tethered or untethered); the newer iPads can't (again, yet ... though we all hope).

Bottom line, there is no option to you at this time to jail break that iPad. So, honestly? My recommendation is that you go ahead and upgrade to iOS 5.1 and join the rest of the gang waiting for a jail break of that version. That way, you can enjoy iOS 5 goodness, which has got a lot going for it. Also, I believe the odds are we'll see a jail break for 5.1 l-o-n-g before we'll see one for 4.3.5.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But, it is what it is.

sigh........i guess that the only choice then....i guess ill update to 5.1 before i regret not updating(like now....i regret not updating to iOS 5) well...that was because I thought 4.3.5 was jailbreakable and that iOS 5 isnt T_T
oh well...


btw i have another question can I use the 5.1 on this site to update????
cuz Itunes is gay....i try to "download only" and everytime i try to pause it, it returns to 0%

 

[Mickey330]

Yes, you can use the iOS 5.1 we provide here.

The easiest way to do it is to download the firmware (appropriate for your device) and then put your iPad into DFU mode to do the restore.

Rather than me re-type the instructions, have a look at this sticky: http://www.ipadforums.net/showthread.php?p=361477

Good luck. Do let us know how you get on. And, keep an eye on this section for the latest news on Jailbreaking 5.1. Hopefully, we'll hear something soon...

Thx dude i tried doing this before but I had crappy instructions to follow and it didn't work and these instructions r sooooo much better.

 

[boxerboys]

as i start to jailbreak my ipad 2 device (5.01) it says that "The attached device has a backup password set. You need to disable the backup password in Itunes before you continue. Start iTunes,remove the backup password and start this program again."

I know this was from a few months ago, but what was the resolution to this? I am experiencing the same thing with the encrypted backup password.
Thank you
