i tell u what,i'm very scared of redsnow since i tried to do something with my iphone and it deleted all my 25gb of apps,games,music,pics,etc etc what i tried to do was to upgrade to the latest os (4.3.3) and i succeded but it was like jailbreaking a brand new iphone,got the 4.3.3 with 32gb free and all my stuff gone so tell me if i'm wrong once u run redsnow it tells u to browse for the ipsw that u want to install and then it tells u to enter dfu mode,conect it to itunes and select the hacked ipsw,that's what i did and as i said it deleted all from my iphone and then i had no signal so i needed to upgrade the baseband and then run ultrasnow to unlock the phone,it was a nightmare and a very sad day for me so believe me i don't want to mess with redsnow unless it's to jailbreak a brand new iphone or ipad

Well, I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I've used redsn0w literally dozens of times over the years without issue. We have a very good tutorial in our guides section. It sounds from your description that you were given some bad advice on how it worked. It is nothing to do with custom hacked firmwares (thats sn0wbreeze and pwnage), and does not install or upgrade your IOS at all. It simply overlays the jailbreak on top of an existing device.

I've also posted a guide on how to upgrade a jailbreak to ensure you lose no data, apps, or settings at all.

If you ever get round to trying it again, make sure you read all of our sticky threads in the hacking section as well as the tutorials we have produced. These contain all the facts relating to jailbreaking and should avoid you making any mistakes that could potentially cause the loss of data...

Hope that helps.

well when u're a noob u pay the price but lately i'm getting familiar with all these and i'll ensure to read all the stickys as u said,can i ask u a question? do u know if there's any chance to install a dvorak keyboard not hardware? i mean when the ipad is vertical u get a prety big keyboard and it's a pity that there are no numbers and/or symbols above the qwerty u know like a real dvorak keyboard,do u know if there's any chance? i googled for an answer but got results about the apple's wireless keyboard but i ask for a built-in dvorak.. thanks for your answers
 
Try Cydia - 5-Row Keyboard for iPad. Works a treat and closets you'll get a the moment. You must also install a 4.3 keyboard fix package available free. Look at the ultimate list of tweaks sticky for more info.

do i need winterboard also with it? coz it wants to download both winterboard and 5-row keyboard for ipad together
 
Yes. Cydia automatically includes dependencies with any product. You must enable the keyboard in Winterboard by ticking it and then also enable it in the Settings > General > Keyboard area on the iPad.\
And don't forget the 4.3. keyboard fix either.

not working.. installed winterboard + 5 row + the fix,rebooted,enabled everything but when i tap to bring up the keyboard it just stays without poping up the keyboard..
 
Well, it does work. I assure you. Lots of people use it. Check your configuration. Does your keyboard setting look like the top one in this screenie. And ENSURE that the theme is also TICKED in Winterboard.

Oh, and reboot. That's always helps! :D

Bootlogo doesnt work

Bootlogo doesnt work for me. I have an ipad2 and used jailbreakme.com so there was no question about replacing boot logos..
Is there any hope for me?
