How to Downgrade iPad 2 on iOS 5.1 / iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 5.0.1 Using Redsn0w
Dev team has released a new version of Redsn0w (0.9.11b1) that allows iPhone 4S and iPad 2 users to downgrade their iOS device to iOS 5.0.1 so that they can use the Absinthe jailbreak to jailbreak their device.
This is a step-by-step guide for users to downgrade their iPad 2 on iOS 5.1 or iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 5.0.1.
Some important points before we proceed:

Just upgraded my iPad 2 to 5.1.1 for the fun of it and then downgraded it to 5.0.1 ... Worked like a charm !! Good job !! Keep up the good work
-
Do you somehow think the firmware for the iPad 2 will work for downgrading the new iPad? Even though it was released as ios 5.1?
-
wow! it works in my iphone 4s downgrading from 5.10 to 5.01... then jailbroken :)
-
no need to upgrade to 5.1.1 if you are in 5.01. you can downgrade directly to 5.01 fron 5.1. it works in my iphone 4s. million thanks to developer!
-
I see....you still would need SHSH blobs :(
-
In my opinion, if pod2g can reserve his exploit for ios 6, no need to release jailbreak 5.1 if redsnow can downgrade to 5.01. It works on my iPhone 4s.

how cani get ipad 2 5.0.1 shsh blog
-
If you are in 5.01 I think there is no problem. You can directly jailbreak using absinthe. You can save shsh using TU
-
Ooh then he should definately wait till ios 6 because u are the only one that matters?As long as u have ur jailbreak... Right???Did u ever think there are people who's device was shipped on 5.1 so it's impossible for them to downgrade... Ever thought of ur felow humans??Jeeeeez... Can't believe how selfish some turds are.Did u cought the ion1c fever or what??
-
Lol. I'm sorry! I never think of it. Yes you are right!
-
do you need to use Absinthe to jailbreak once downgraded or can this be done in windows?
-
Yes, use absinthe like we did before
-
at last, the waiting is over.. greatful that it is released already.. million thanx.. keep up the good work

Hi, uhm i have an ipad 2 wifi running on 4.3.2, what can i possibly do to jailbreak my device? Should i update my firmware to the lates version? I haven't tried jailbreaking this even one. Please help! : (
-
upgrade it to 5.1, then downgrade it to 5.0.1, then do the absinthe jailbreakif you follow some guides, they are very self explanatory, let's not act like a baby that needs feeding
-
jailbreak the 4.3.2 version first though, so you can save your blobs, or see if there is a way to save them without jail breaking it
-
I need help.. I'm using Ipad 2 4.3.5.. can i jailbreak my device? i've been googling about jailbreaking 4.3.5 but most of them say cannot.. help.. what should i do?
-
Do not attempt to upgrade to 5.1.1 just so you can downgrade to 5.0.1.There is no way for you to get to 5.0.1 as you do not have the shsh blobs.Either jailbreak the firmware you have or wait till the next available jailbreak before you update.
-
Downgrade stops and window closes at stitching shsh.I have all the correct firmware and blobs are save locally and remotely for 5.0.1 but this keeps happening.Running redsn0w on windows 7. Any help would be appreciated.
-
I do not have the shsh blob saved locally but when i jailbreaked 5.0.1 i had opened cydia but now after upgrading i dont have cydia... (i am on ios 5.1)but should i try this method\are my shsh blob saved with cydia servers remotely
-
OMG IT WORKED! THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH.GREAT TUTORIAL. Finally easy steps and not Bull S**TAGAIN THANK YOU.
-
I am currently on 4.3.0 (Ipad 2) No SHSH Blobs at all.So should I update it to 5.1.1 or keep it at 4.3.0? Because I don't have ANY Shsh blobs at all and I heard Pod2g was going to release it for only 5.1.Thanks!
-
You may want to wait until pod2g releases his jailbreak.
-
You can find out if Cydia has cached the SHSH blobs by using TinyUmbrella. Launch TinyUmbrella with your iPad connected to your computer and click on the Save SHSH button. You should be list of save SHSH blobs under the General tab. You can also select the "Request SHSH from Cydia" option under the advanced tab to download them locally.
