Okay so bought a new Ipad 2 64gig last night and its got IOS 5.1 and I want to jailbreak it...

Can I even update it to 6.1.2?? Or is apple going to force me to update it to 6.1.3 which appears I can't JB that ver.


What are my options JB it with IOS 5.1 which is whats on there now or can I update it to 6.1.3 and then use Evasi0n which is what I really want to do..


Thanks in advance.
 
No and No

You can stay where you are - no jailbreak
Or upgrade to 6.1.3 - no jailbreak

iClarified has Absinthe that says can JB 5.1.1 so you telling me that link is dead and I can't JB my ipad at all????
 
Oh ok, you said 5.1 in your OP.

sorry I wasn't paying attention seems..lol

Okay last question when I go to download the Restore.ipsw I have 3 options with the 5.1.1 (Wi-Fi) (GSM) & (CDMA) which should I get??

Is it wifi only, or is it cellular enabled. If it's cellular enabled, what's the carrier?
 
It's with Verizon I added to the plan last night

after using google I'm assuming I want 5.1.1 (CDMA): iPad2,3_5.1.1_9B206_Restore.ipsw

That is right, CDMA is what you want

However, you don't need the ipsw to jailbreak 5.1.1 with absinthe v2.0.4
