Was reading the BLOB tutorial thread and came to this comment

If you happened to receive an error, such as an iTunes 1013, this indicates you have a 3G device and your baseband is out of sync with the version you are trying to install. The baseband of the 3G iPads have blobs too, however these use stronger security techniques that the standard IOS SHSH Blobs, so they cannot be saved and replayed.

Does this mean 3G iPad BLOBS can not be applied to restore the iPad ?

Thanks

No. It means the baseband of the 3G device is protected by stronger security than the firmware. I think you probably dredged that up from an old conversation? Best to forget it as it was stated pre-5.x I would have thought.
