But i think nobody here think of that. What i tried do describe yesterday: I think you have three options: A) Do nothing, hold the firmware. But with the risk, that there maybe comes another update from apple before the next jailbreak is ready. in that case you have to wait another jailbreak longer. B) you update/downgrade, and use the benefits of the situation without waiting C) It fails.. you aren't able to able the jailbreak.. but in that case you only have to wait until the one from pod2g is out (wich is much short than option A) Another option is to wait a few days, hoping that apple not release an new version durning the next days.

Otherwise do nothing and keep 5.1 until a jailbreak comes. And hurry up so save shsh ^^ Sat, 12 May 2012 07:18:31 +0000 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/22834622159#IDComment359052429 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/22834622159#IDComment359050114 Try to save shsh/restore to iOS 5.1 before. TinyUmbrella still catch shsh for 5.1.0, maybe they still sign it? Or it is a bug i dont know Sat, 12 May 2012 07:13:09 +0000 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/22834622159#IDComment359050114 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/22834622159#IDComment359045204 After a night full of "Restore failed" on Windows... ...i successful restored my iPad 2 3G from 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 within the first try on 10.7.3 :) Again thanks :) Sat, 12 May 2012 07:01:57 +0000 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/22834622159#IDComment359045204 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/22834622159#IDComment359042833 Done :) Lost the motivation to go on, thats why i changed to mac, restored again 5.1.1, turned off mobile data, removed the sim card and entered dfu. Than selected 5.0.1 and 5.1.1and some shsh blobs for 5.0.1 i saved someday with tinyumbrella. And it worked. At some point at the beginning he waited to long for my ipad. at the same time "initDevice failed" appears in console. While redsn0w keept searching i klicked on itunes. 1 second later redsn0w found my ipad and moved on. after the next restart i closed itunes because it started to raise messages if i wish to restore the ipad.

And another one to submit them. Not a bad idea if your currently on 5.0.1, if you're not sure if your're files are valid.. and for a "just in case" its under ~5 min to get them to cydia.

But all this is answered on google durnong the comments below Sat, 12 May 2012 06:41:35 +0000 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/22834622159#IDComment359036285 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/22834622159#IDComment358991015 Like i said, i asume the error is raised by something different, itunes always raise error no matter what i do^^ most people know what i mean. i restored 5.1.1 without any error and try again after a reboot. but you are on ios 4? why waiting? based on pod2g's twitter the jailbreak is still some weeks away but theoretical working on 5.1.1.. if apple release a fix before the jailbreak is released and you are still on ios 4.x, you cant use the exploit Sat, 12 May 2012 04:54:27 +0000 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/22834622159#IDComment358991015 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/22834622159#IDComment358987829 If i followed/understand the whole 5.x and shsh thing right (in context of iphone 4) the important point is a signed firmware, not the redirection. (the right blobs a already built in the custom firmware?!) So imho it should point to apple, cause since 5.x they never pointed to cydia if i restored my iphone with a signed fw. But im really not sure here, because iphone 4 use limera1n, dont know i the exploit here is able to use a signed fw or do something else.

(sorry if i missed something and this idea is crap) Sat, 12 May 2012 02:34:43 +0000 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/22834622159#IDComment358919591 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/22834622159#IDComment358909466 ipad 3g or ipad 2 3g? in case of ipad 2 3g, i could test (and report) it with mine if the problems arent so brutal. can you evantually post the direct links to some of them with details (if you now where they are), i dont find them while flying over the pages. (ipad 3g is a4 and limera1n, so i guess ipad 2?)

Most of the people don't know what it means to provide a tool like redsn0w wich (in addition to the jailbreak stuff) works this stable for a very large community (naturally composed of people without a special technical background about ios internals) In addition working on two platforms in composition with Apple Stuff like iTunes/Bonjour/... Every one knows that iTunes/Bonjour, even without modification, isn't always working correct. So again thanks for the awesome work!
