How to downgrade from iOS 5 to 4.3.3

[hpcomputergeek]

Today JailbreakMe was released and I want to downgrade my iPad 2 to 4.3.3 so I can jailbreak it. Any tips on this???

lol...downgrade your iPad 2 from iOS 5 to 4.3.3? Just curious, especially after reading your iPhone thread, how you managed iOS 5 on your iPad 2?

i just did it. it was that simple as doing shift+restore! it worked. apple are liars. you can downgrade. they're still signing iOS 4.3.3. duh.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. You got lucky. Either way, good job.

Yes Great topic. But Sometimes it doesn't work properly. So what can be the alternate.

It is only hard to downgrade on the phone because of some changes that are made probably to the modem associated with the phone part. The iPad will downgrade like you said because they are still signing 4.3.3 you just can't restore you have to download the ipsw and do a Shift/Option + Restore to it. It worked for me no problem.

Yes they are still signing and will be until iOS 5 final release.
