It sounds like you may have downloaded the file from some other source besides Apple, yes? You should be able to go through iTunes and restore your iPad properly.

Yes i downloaded from another source,but iTunes rejects the iPad and says that it may be damaged and cannot be activated for service and some other stuff ill post a screenshot if i need to

it just hangs on apple logo until i connect it to my PC ....and then it goes same as before

Its probably not your iPad that is damaged, but rather the file system.

You might want to try holding the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears on the screen then let go of the buttons. At this point you should be able to do a complete system restore to iOS 4.2.1 through iTunes.

Succes...gonna try restoring from the same file...if it wont work ill try restoring directly from apple but im afraid that itll update to 4.2.3 which is unjailbreakable

It's an Aple logo and a bar filling under it...same as before....but i hope that it'll work now...
