Hello there, do these shsh need to saved to the PC?? Or the ipad itself?? But if the ipad jailbreak is not out yet how can it be saved using tinyumbrella which is availabe thru cydia

Tinyumbrella saves them to your PC and puts a request to have them saved on Saurik's (Cydia) servers as well. Saving them does not rely upon a jailbreak.

The SHSHs allow you to downgrade firmware since firmware updates send a request to Apple's servers. "Can I install this firmware?" Tinyumbrella and/or Saurik's servers mock the Apple server allowing you to install older firmware as long as you have SHSHs saved for said firmware.
 
So theres no way for me to save my 4.3 SHSH blob yet if I haven't done so.. I still haven't upgraded to 4.3.1 yet.. still have 4.3 on my iPad..
 
I'm getting conflicting information in this thread. I'm currently on 4.3 on my iPad, never upgraded to 4.3.1 like a lot of people here. I saved my 4.3 SHSH a long time ago.

Some users claim that 4.3.1 is not necessary to save SHSH for it, but others are telling users to hurry up and save their 4.3.1 SHSH before it's too late.

When I use TinyUmbrella, it seems to show only one version saved, 4.3. If it's not necessary to have 4.3.1 to save 4.3.1 SHSH, then how do I do it?

I am only worried that the Jailbreak is only going to work on 4.3.1 for iPad 2. I'm perfectly happy with 4.3.

EDIT!: Looks like I just needed to grab the latest update of TinyUmbrella (which probably supports 4.3.1, whereas the previous version did not.) Download it here: http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/

cool! looks like i wasn't too late, was able to save my 4.3.1 blob.

now should i upgrade from 4.3 to 4.3.2? is there any use in staying on 4.3? It sounds like any JB for ipad 2 will be with 4.3.1
 
I'm on 4.3, what do I do to prepare myself for the upcoming jailbreak? Thanks... do I have to update to 4.3.1 then save my Shsh blob?
 
I'm just going to stay on the 4.3 firmware, because there's really nothing in 4.3.1 or 4.3.2 that I need. It would be more of a hassle to upgrade and then find out later that the Jailbreak was only for 4.3 which would require me to downgrade. I have the 4.3 SHSH blobs saved from a few weeks ago when Apple was still signing it, and I just saved the 4.3.1 blobs while I still can just in case the Jailbreak is only for 4.3.1 and I end up having to restore or something.

The Jailbreak is taking a lot longer than I thought it would take. Ah well, nothing I can do.
 
I have been reading the last few posts about saving the 4.3.1 SHSH Blobs "before its too late" and I couldn't understand how it could ever be too late, after all, how can my iPad get updated with anything unless its connected to iTunes.

I looked at TinyUmbrella and it looks likes this only applies to 3G iPads.. Could someone confirm if this is the case? And if not, what I (as a non-3G iPad 2 owner) needs to do now..

Currently I am on 4.3 and am waiting for a working Jailbreak before I do anything else regarding firmware.

It applies to any iOS device.

You want to save your blobs in case you accidentally upgrade to an unjailbroken firmware and would like to revert to an older, jailbroken firmware. It's not 100% essential for everybody to do, but it's nice to have it as insurance.

If you want to save your 4.3.1 firmware, update to the latest TinyUmbrella and do so soon. I'm not sure if Apple is still signing it.
 
So considering I will be attempting to buy an iPad 2 tomorrow (standing in line in the morning @ an apple store), will tomorrow be to late?

But a userland exploit works, at least for 4.3 and partially for 4.3.x

Yhe reason the 4.3 jailbreak has yet to be released is that the hack contains apple code, and distrubuting the jailbreak would be piracy.

So i think he is trying to write his own code to exchange the apple parts.

We'll have to forget 4.3.1-4.3.2 untethered jailbreak for a bit guys..

i0n1c: The iOS 4.3.1/4.3.2 untether exploits require root access to install. Therefore they cannot be used with iPad2 without further exploits.

I'm hoping that comex will release his damn 4.3 jailbreak, what is he waiting for ?
 
OK so my new iPad 2 has no jailbreak yet. So do I leave it at 4.3 or just upgrade to 4.3.2 for now? What's everyone else doing?
