#djricekcn: here detailed instruction.....

1. Upgrade it to 4.2 (must a NON DEVELOPER UDID)
2. Let in "recovery mode" hang (itunes will show error that ur a non developer)
3. Unplugged USB connector (ipad always in recovery mode, even u reboot it)
4. Delete itunes & quicktime
5. update host:

6. open portable Itunes10
7. recovery using other firmwire (3.2, 3.2.1, 3.2.2)
8. If you got error 1015, than SUCCESS to DOWNGRADE

PS again: to downgrade/upgrade again, u must delete itunes temporary file/directory that create by itunes portable. solution is: kill ipodservices.exe using task manager

#rookie's: I done exactly the same steps and the result is: "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3194)."

something is wrong...

how do you upgrade to make it infinite reboot? i can only upgrade in a way to make it "upgrade to 4.2" by clicking SHIFT on Check for updates.

 

[djricekcn]

not working for me, gives me "We're unable to complete your activation" on iTunes and tells me to register as a developer. can't even update/restore

you have to get it back into recovery mode by holding power and home for ~10 sec to turn off. hold both buttons til the silver apple shows then keep holding the home button til itunes recognizes it's in recovery mode. then you can select any of the other images.

i can get this far, but i get the 3194 error also. i did apply the fix with no result. i may just go back to 3.2.2 if i can't get anywhere soon. gonna look for a 3.2 img now.

i thought receovery mode is HOME+POWER with the itunes icon.
that other one is usb mode or something...at least from what I remmeber it...regardless I get 3194 (needs signature) error as well. i don't think works without SHSH like everything else.

i guess it doesn't matter how you get there, just as long as you do. my method worked to get me into recovery.

just some info about my ipad. i purchased it today and it's preinstalled with 3.2.2. 16g, non 3g version.

going back to 3.2.2 worked fine.

 

[djricekcn]

Tried it with a SHSH ipad and it works so I guess I can confirm on my end that it only works with a SHSH'ed iPad. I can't get it to work on a 3.2.2 that didn't have SHSH due to that's how it was out of the package

For me too work fine , without SHSH or something else , only my iTunes , i admit i scare when my itunes say i need to be a register developer for downgrade my ipad …for put it in restore mode:

i close itunes
i plug the device in my Mac and keep HOME+POWER pressed
Release power when i see the Apple Logo and keep Home pressed until i see my itunes bounce and say : itunes found a ipad in recovery mode … et voila

my advice is get the IPSW file from Apple server is more safe
