Moving this to the Hacking section where you will get more attention.

What are you connecting the hdmi from ipad to? computer / tv? And try another type of display out app. If it works or doesn't work, let us know

You can try Resupported 4.0+ or TVout2 in Cydia as well. See how that works for you.

I've had problems with cheap HDMI extensions and with the iPad HDMI adapter not seating fully into the slot. This can especially be a problem if you have a cover on the iPad. Once I got a new HDMI cable and made sure the adapter was seating it has worked fine. I've read of some people having the adapter itself replaced. One thing to note, on iPad2 many apps including photo and video will let you display the output via HDMI without even being jailbroken or requiring the display out app.

It keeps telling me I need an iOS update!!!! When I plug it in

I'm on 5.01. It works fine for me. I don't know what's causing your problem.

Well any suggestions? Can I restore my iPad back to its original settings and go from their? I backed up my iPad so therefore I should be able to right? I just don't want the 5.1 software

I can't help with the DisplayOut problem. However, I can tell you: Don't do a restore on that iPad2! If you do a restore, you WILL end up on iOS 5.1 and you WILL lose the jail break! Just so's you know...

Earlier, you said you got a message telling you that you needed an iOS upgrade when you "plugged it in." plugged it in to what? The TV? If so, what app are you running when it says that?

It said I need a iOS update on my phone. I'm running display out! I even purchesed it from bigboss and it still isn't working... Whenever I plug the adaptor up to my phone a message pops up on my phone telling me I need an iOS update! Someone needs to get their sources updated it seems to me, for iOS 5.0.1 on displayout!

Have you tried the suggested other cydia app I gave ?

 

[tatorhead]

Yes but I want a true hd picture not av picture... The tv2 works but not with my hdmi adaptor...

There must be something strange with your setup tatorhead. Display out is working fine for me with 5.01 on the iPad2. I don't think it is the app that needs updated.
