Hello all,

i'm new to jailbreaking and have had an ipad 2 for about a year now,
Specifics: iPad 2, 16GB, WiFi, Version: 5.1 (9B176)
Laptop: HP Pavilion, Vista

i'd like to jailbreak my device but need some help to get started,
i google'd how to do it, but the stuff that keeps popping up is usually for the newest devices & updates.

The above information is incorrect. Do not try this or you may leave your iPad2 unable to boot !

There is no jailbreak for 5.1 firmware and until new jailbreak tools are released, you cannot change the firmware on your iPad2.

Have you ever saved any hashes ?

No blobs/hashes, no firmware. Check to see if they were saved by chance for 5.0.1 or 5.1.1.

The new tools, I would ESTIMATE, will be released in January.
 
download TinyUmbrella

connect ipad

open TU and hit save SHSH, make sure in the advanced tab that get SHSH from Cydia is uncheked.

My guess is you won't find any blobs, you are to late.
