Hey everybody How can I update my jailbroken iPad 2 from iOS 5.0.1 to 5.1.1, preferably while keeping it jailbroken? Or at least have it unjailbroken and then rejailbroken with all my current hacks? Does SHSH blobs have something to do with it? If they do, please help me, I'm a total n00b when it comes to SHSH blobs. Thanks a heap
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.
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? http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_downgrade_back_ios_5 Seems like it wouldn't and I'd need to use redsnow.
