Hi f4780y, I'm trying to do exactly the same thing. I have an iPad 1, currently at version 3.2.2. I've followed the guides to a tee, but I'm stuck near the beginning - where after I put the iPad in DFU mode, I held SHIFT and clicked RESTORE - but it won't find my blob file! I checked my directory - and the shsh files are there! When I forced the file by typing the name directly - it said that it's not compatible! HELP! My iTunes is at version 10.5 (the latest). Is this the reason why it won't pick the file? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
