That version of iOS (5.1) is not supported by Absinthe. Absinthe only supports jail breaking the iPad3 on iOS 5.1.1. You have to upgrade to that iOS first, then you can jail break it.

As scudder pointed out - can't hurt to try. Others have successfully jail broken the iPad without "cleaning" it up first. I have no time estimate, however, because I did mine from a fresh restore...
All you have to lose is a bit of time should it not work because you'll have to start from the beginning with a clean restore. Again, just make sure you have a good backup before you start any of the process.
But, hey, if it works - time saved!
Do us a favor, though? If it does work (or not), could you come back and let us know? May help others in making the same decision. Thanks.
Good luck.

Perhaps you can enlighten me the advantage the untethered jailbreak of iOS 5.1.1 over iOS 5.0.1.

30daytrial said:1. I want to go to the latest operating system Apple is offering, as long as I can access Cydia, but at this date; it looks like it's more trouble than it's worth.
I've reset a few times but nothing has changed. Need to read up on how to restore with DFU and try again.
Thx to those taking time to help.
