redsn0w: Unable to get through first screen itself.
This is my first ever APPLE unit.
I recently got a IPAD 16GB as hands down from a friend who was not using it since new.
The version in 'ABOUT' section says 4.3.5 (8L1) so I downloaded following firmware from links given in first post
iPad1,1_4.3.4_8K2_Restore
Then I downloaded
redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc18
As I open redsn0w I browse for the firmware & then it just wont doesn't go beyond following screen.
So I again downloaded above firmware, (thrice by now) but again the same results. Then I downloaded
redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc19
But I'm stiil unable to get through the first step.
redsn0w is saved on desktop & firmware on my D drive.
I'm running Vista & have done all given directions for compatibility etc.
I even tried this with firmware
iPad1,1_4.3.5_8L1_Restore but same result.
These files are all proper .ipsw files & NOT in zip as problem sighted by some fellow members.
PLS HELP.
