Official Apple IOS Firmware Download Links for iPad

[Ris]

It is not and has never been possible to upgrade or downgrade ANY iPad device without blobs since SHSH blobs were introduced in IOS 4.

I meant does Apple still allow upgrade to 5.1.1 or is that upgrade option gone since 6.0 was released. I am guessing from your answer that it is gone.

Correct. 6.0 is the current firmware. 5.1.1 cannot be installed without saved blobs.

Updated with 6.0.1 firmware files, but jailbreakers should remember to beware!

All of the links provided above are to the official Apple downloads. They files themselves are not related in any way to jailbreaking. It is just that jailbreakers are often interested in older files

Also, please note you will NOT be able to install 6.0 on your iPad3 device now. It is not the current version of IOS and so cannot be installed. You must use 6.0.1 only.

You can follow the steps outlined in this tutorial: http://www.ipadforums.net/showthread.php?t=52863

If you have never jail broken your iPad, you can safely skip Step 2. However, do all the other steps exactly as written and you should end up with an iPad running the most current iOS.

Good luck.

This is a good information, but i noticed 2 little mistakes:
1. The the link of the iPad 2 (Wifi), v.4.3.2 is the same link of the iPad 2 (CDMA) v.4.3.2
2. The links of the iPad 3 (GSM) and the links of the iPad 3 (CDMA) are reversed (the links of the iPad 3 GSM are really the links of the iPad 3 CDMA, and the links of the iPad 3 CDMA are really the links of the iPad 3 GSM)

Thanks for the correction to the 4.3.2 iPad2 WiFi model firmware. That was a mistake.

However, I do not believe you are correct to state that the iPad3 firmwares are reversed. Apple changed the designation with the iPad3, and whilst they appear different from other generations they are correct. My iPad3 is a 3,3 model, and that is a GSM (4G) device in Europe. The 3,2 devices are the CDMA devices for the USA AFAIK.
I am able to check the validity of the links with my developer account and they appear to be right.

6.0.2 links added for the Mini (rather belatedly )

 

[f4780y]

All the new 6.1 firmwares have been added

 

[f4780y]

Apple have started to refer to model numbers, rather than GSM / CDMA capability. This is particularly confusing as the devices being sold outside the USA (rest of the world) appear to be what they traditionally called CDMA devices "for Verizon", despite the fact that the rest of the world tends to use them exclusively as GSM devices.

So, the first post now reflects iPad4 and iPad Mini firmwares by model number, and provides info on how to find out your model number at the top

How do i know if my ipad 2 Wifi is a A version or a normal version?
