I need some help here, I'm already so pissed with this ipad, I'd had tried everything to restore this crap and every single attend ended with this stupid error: The iPad ïPad"could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1604) and all the time tried give a different number.
Please any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming you have upgraded to iTunes 10.5 already. You must.
1) download the correct 5.0 firmware file to your desktop from a link in this thread - http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-hacking/24939-official-apple-ios-firmware-download-links-ipad.html
2) connect your iPad and put it into DFU mode using the instructions in this thread
3) open iTunes and shift-click (Windows) or option-click (OSX) on the "restore" button once it tells you it has found an iPad in recovery mode, and select the firmware file you downloaded in step 1.
You won't get a 1604 with this approach, but if you do still get an error you must post more details about your device, IOS version, and the specific error code. It should not be different every time!
