TUTORIAL - Restore your iPad using TinyUmbrella and SHSH Blobs

[XERO]

Hi I went thru the trutorial and have shsh blobs saved, but when I try to restore to say 5.0, and I open iTunes, I can't find the recovery file I just saved to use to restore. Was there another step when I first saved the blob? I end up just rebooting teathered cuz I'm stuck. Thanks.

I'm a little confused by your question, but let me answer to what I think you're asking:

SHSH blobs and the firmware are two different things. You only save the SHSH blobs to use in running the steps for this tutorial. What you actually use iTunes for is to install the Apple firmware, the file ending in .ipsw. This file you can get from here: http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-hacking/24939-official-apple-ios-firmware-download-links-ipad.html

So, you have blobs for a particular version and you've saved them per the the instructions in the first post of this thread. Once you get to the part of the tutorial titled "Restoring a previous firmware," the file f4780y is referring to is that IPSW file you downloaded from the link above. You don't use the SHSH file for anything (iTunes will use it to load the IPSW file).

I hope that is what you're asking - and that this clarifies it. If not, please try again to explain your question and maybe I'll get it that time!

Good luck.

Do you meet all the criteria in the first post? Do you have a wifi only iPad2?

Hi could someone please help me, I have tried all the following instructions but still have problems.

I am currently on an iPad 1, iOS 4.3.1 (jailbroken) and looking to update it to iOS 5.0.1. I have also the following SHSH iOS 4.3.3, 4.3.5, 5.0.1, 5.1 in Cydia right now.

This is what I did,

First I followed a previous guide from you about saving the blobs in TinyUmbrella by first ticking only "Save ALL Avaliable SHSH" and "Request SHSH from Cydia" then click Save SHSH. Then untick "Request SHSH from Cydia" and click Save SHSH. After that I Start TSS Server and left it in the background.

I then put my iPad into DFU mode after which iTunes will prompt me to restore my iPad. I then shift click restore and select the official iPad 5.0.1 IPSW firmware that I have downloaded from Apple.

After which, I get a error message about not being able to restore the device (1600). Am I doing anything wrong or am I using the wrong method to go about restoring it?

Please help me, thank you in advance!

Yes, because you want to move to 501, you need to use this method - http://www.ipadforums.net/jailbreak...ade-ipad1-5-0-1-using-shsh-blobs-redsn0w.html

You cannot restore 5.0.1 to an iPad2 as things stand today, regardless of whether you have saved blobs or not. It simply can't be done yet. You can only restore an iPad2 or iPad3 to 5.1.

You can always restore the latest firmware. i.e. 5.1 today. You don't need TinyUmbrella or anything else to do that. Simply connect your device to iTunes and press restore. However (since this is the hacking / jailbreaking section) you won't be able to jailbreak your iPad2 on 5.1 so be warned!
