The following is from TinyUmbrella's FAQ;



And from iH8sn0w,



****************************************************

The New iPad is an A5 device...

TinyUmbrella now has support for saving 5.1 SHSH for Apple TV 3 and the iPad 3 (all versions). As of now we still cannot restore them but we are working on getting that working from a bunch of angles. I'll let you know more when I do.

If you are not jailbroken and want to save your SHSH, your only real choice is to use TinyUmbrella.

iPad3 can be downgraded, the above post is an old posting from ih8sn0w.
Below the post from the Dev-team:

"Starting with redsn0w version 0.9.11b1, those with newer devices (iPad2, iPad3, and iPhone4S) can join the downgrade fun too! In a radical departure from previous versions of redsn0w, it now directly supports restoring IPSWs to your device. The first use of this new feature implements a hack that allows A5 downgrades without a bootrom-level exploit."

Cydia now saves your 5.1.1 SHSH as well as TU.

Hi all,

I got an iPad 3, 16 Go Wifi on iOS 5.1.1 (9B206) that is not jailbroken. Model MD328NF
I'm trying to jailbreak it with redsn0w (already tried 6 versions) and Absinthe (2.0. 2.1 2.2 2.4) and still no success. On Absinthe the jailbreak button isn't even highlighted. And on redsn0w I got this message :
"Sorry, that isn't supported yet for iPad 3".

Any ideas please?

Thanks!

Also there is this that you seem to have NOT included,

The A5 downgrade method actually updates to the latest firmware before downgrading to the earlier one. This process updates your baseband to whatever is newest. DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IF YOU RELY ON UNOFFICIAL UNLOCKS of your iPhone4S. Those who used the temporary SAM technique to unlock their iPhones to specific SIMs shouldn’t be affected by this baseband update.

When jailbroken, can I still purchase music from iTunes and books from iBooks? In otherwords, do I have access to the app store, iTunes, and iBooks the same as before jailbreaking in addition to Cydia? I do alot of reading on my iPad 3rd gen.

I'm new to jailbreaking so I'm just trying to figure this out before going forward.

Thanks in advance.

Can someone answer this question please? I'm also curious about this.

Depends, there have been jailbreaks where iBooks does not want to display protected books you have bought. As I write this, to the best of my knowledge there are no issues with iBooks on iOS 5.1.1.

The app store, and iTunes have never been an issue for me.

if you like to watch movies it is in my experience a cat and mouse game with directv, and I understand with RoadRunner as well. Also if you need access to certain apps by Cisco you may have issues. Generally where you have protected content, is where you are most likely to have issues.

Generally it is not an issue.

To clarify, these issues are caused by individual apps that detect jailbroken devices and refuse to function if they are installed on a jailbroken device. It's not caused by anything inherent to the jailbreak itself. iBooks doesn't have problems in recent jailbreaks because the hack to circumvent its jailbreak detection scheme is now built in to the jailbreak process.

I hate to be a spoil sport, but if the "apps detect jailbroken devices" how can it not be "inherent to the jailbreak"? If we are honest here the "jailbreak" makes changes in the device, that can be detected, if one wants to go to the trouble of detecting...

in my experience companies that worry about people pirating their content, are likely to attempt to detect a jailbreak, and actively attempt to prevent one from using their apps. Also anything that companies have done in the past to prevent the use of their apps they are likely to do in the future again. IBooks has been blocked more than once.

We are arguing semantics here, but to me, "inherent in the jailbreak" means that jailbreaking alone causes something. In the case of these apps not working, it happens because the developers of these apps took the trouble to write code for their apps to detect jailbroken devices and stop working. To me, that's outside intervention, not inherent.

And yes, some developers will continue to try to block jailbroken devices, and hackers will keep trying to circumvent those blocks. Just the same with jailbreaking itself. If you are going to jailbreak your device, you should be prepared to deal with these cycles.
 
and regardless there is already a way to stop them from seeing your device is jailbroken... eventually they will find another way to see, and cydia devs will find a way to block that way, and then a new way will be found to see if it is jailbroken, then another way will found via devs from cydia to stop apps from detecting, and yet another way will be found.. *ive gone cross eyed*

From www.greenpois0n.com the official release site for the 5.1.1 JB: http://greenpois0n.com/
"Absinthe 2.0 supports the following devices on 5.1.1:

iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad 3 (iPad2,4 is now supported as of Absinthe 2.0.4)

iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S

iPod touch 3rd generation, iPod touch 4th generation"

When you do Jailbreak people are supposed to readup on the subject, i included the actual release page from the official Redsn0w Dev's.

So yes, the iPad3 can be downgraded, as the iPad's are unlocked anyway the only issue would be an 4S, which the official pages mentions.
