Untethered 4.3.1 JB redsnow problems

[DontUnderstandMyIpad]

Baseband issues are for iphone's only, as some need to unlock their's to be able to use the phone with a different SIM. On the iPad there is no need to unlock the baseband, so you might as well ignore any baseband talk.

Thanks.worked.

Great.
Was it "XP compatibility mode" or disabling anti-virus that got it working?
I'd just like to know what the right resolution was for your situation...

If iPad is already 4.3.1 Do I still need to upgrade the firmware?

No, you do need the ipsw file though. Download that before starting.

ISPW File Problems

I posted this on another post but no action. So maybe better luck here.

I have an ipad 1 already upgraded to 4.3.1. Want to jailbreak (I have not done it b4). Everything I read says to download the firmware ipsw onto my desktop. Every location I go to it down loads a zip file and when I extract it here is no ipsw file. So here are my questions

- various tutorials say to hit the shift key and the restore button in itunes and then selection the ipsw file I downloaded - I can find that from my original install of 4.3.1 but it is NOT in the downloaded file I mention above - so can I point to the actual file buried down in some subfolders?
- do I even need to do this if I have already installed 4.3.1?
- If I just run redsn0w it also wants me to find the 4.3.1 ispw file - again same questions as above? ie can I refer to the actual file from when I upgraded to 4.3.1

basically I can't seem to even get started as I don't know if it is safe to link to the actual ipsw file and secondly why when I am down loading from the links for the ipsw file am I getting the zip file and no ipsw file?

 

[Dr.Gee]

???

sorry not sure what you are trying to tell me - I am using Redsnow The issue is can if link to the ispw file that is already on my computer from when I upgraded to 4.3.1 vs the one I am supposed to down load but for whatever reason I cannot. I don't care which one i use if someone can tell me how to download the ispw file - as I have said when I down load it is always a zip file and when I unzip it there is no ispw file to refer to either when I do the "restore" or if redsnow looks for it.

I must not be clear in what I am trying to say.

What happens, if you simply download 4.3.1, then completely ignore the file ending and don't try to extract it in any way, open redsn0w and finally drag 4.3.1 into redsn0w?

Does it say wrong file format?

During my research, I found various people saying that some Windows PCs download the ipsw files as zip files. "They" said to just change the .zip to .ipsw and that's it. You don't unzip it - just change the file extention.

Then, when you run the jailbreak, you just point/link to that file you just re-named.

Think it's worth a shot...

Drag to redsnow

Thanks but what exactly are you suggesting I drag? The entire folder created when I unzipped?

Sorry re read and see I am to drag entire unzipped file. I changed the name and did the drag onto of the redsnow exec file - just get an error message

Try downloading the firmware with internet explorer, without any download helper, you should get an .ipsw file.

Then once downloaded, leave the file alone, don't unzip it. Just open redsn0w and drag the file you downloaded into redsn0w.

Tried To

download the ipsw file on my other computer - windows vista - doing exactly the same thing - downloading as a zip file

please someone tell me if I can find the ipsw file from when I upgraded to 4.3.1 can i just link to that when i do the restore and the redsnow?
