iPad How to update jailbroken iPad2 from iOS 5.0.1 to 5.1.1?

Try reading the forum a bit more on SHSH

Use xbackup or pkgbackup to backup you cydia tweaks.
Backup ipad in itunes

Restore to 5.1.1
jailbreak with absinthe 2.02
Restore backup from itunes
Restore cydia packages

 

Yup. Listen to this man.

And SHSH blobs have nothing to do with backing up your tweaks. You should still save them in case you wanna go back to your previous firmware for w/e reason.

 

Exact method I used on an iPad 2

 

Is it currently possible to upgrade a jailbroken ipad 2 from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1.
Thx

 

No, have to wait for the new redsn0w and depends on full blobs for iPad2 from 4+ onwards

since apple isn't signing the 5.1.1 update, if we don't have blobs for 4.x, we can't go laterally from jailbroken 5.0.1 to 5.1.1?

 

I believe you can providing that you have restored your iPad after purchasing it otherwise you will hit an APTicket error during a restore via redsn0w!

 

I wonder if it's easier to just upgrade to ios 6 from jailbroken 5.0.1, then use redsnow to downgrade to 5.1.1, then re-jailbreak? Anyone know? And would this guide work?

Seems like it wouldn't and I'd need to use redsnow.
