[HOW-TO] - Downgrade iPad 2 GSM / CDMA From iOS 5.0.1 To iOS 4.3.3 Using TinyCFW

• Notcom, the developer behind TinyUmbrella released a new tool called TinyCFW. 
• What TinyCFW is that it prevents any errors and looping when downgrading iPad 2 GSM / CDMA or iPhone 4 GSM / CDMA from iOS 5.0.1 / 5.0 to iOS 4.3.3 to get their jailbreak.
• The reason why many of you might want to downgrade their iPad 2 from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 4.3.3 is that because there’s no any jailbreak available for iPad 2 except Comex’s JailbreakMe 3.0 which only works on iOS 4.3.3. 
• So if you’re one of those who accidently updated to iOS 5.x, having iOS 4.3.3 SHSH blobs and want to downgrade back, TinyCFW makes this process easier by creating a custom firmware that will be able to be recognized by TinyUmbrella so that the device can be downgraded.
• iPhone 4 reasons might want to downgrade back to iOS 4.3.3 so that they get untethered jailbreak which is only available on that version. 
• However, pod2g and Dev-Team already released an untethered jailbreak for all A4 devices so ther's no reason to downgrade.

What TinyCFW is:

• It will modify an existing ipsw for an ipad2 gsm/cdma or iphone4 gsm/cdma
• It WILL modify the ipsw TO UPDATE YOUR BASEBAND TO THE LATEST!
• It will create an ipsw that you can use with TinyUmbrella AND iTunes to restore to a version of iOS that you have SHSHs for.
• It is primarily for iPad2 with a baseband OR iPhone 4.

What TinyCFW is NOT:

• A jailbreak
• An unlock
• A tool to protect your baseband.
• A tool that will restore your device to any firmware
• A tool for use with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPad, or iPhone 4S

Steps To Downgrade iPad 2 / iPhone 4 On iOS 5.0.1 To iOS 4.3.3

STEP 1: Download the required files below:

• Download iOS 4.3.3 for iPad 2 or iPhone 4 from here.
• Download TinyUmbrella (Windows / Mac)
• Download TinyCFW (Windows - Jar)
• Download iTunes from here.

STEP 2: Now start TinyCFW (note: you must have java installed and at least 2.5 GB of RAM). Once it opens, hit the top button and choose iOS 4.3.3 IPSW.

STEP 3: Now click on the second button so that TinyCFW will tell you the firmware and baseband versions.

STEP 4: Click on ‘Save Target IPSW’ then wait two minutes and you’ll get a file named:
.bbupdate.ipsw

STEP 5: Now open Tinyumbrella and make iTunes look at Cydia’s Server from the “Advanced” options.

STEP 6: Plug your iPad 2, switch it off, and put it in DFU mode.

STEP 7: Finally open iTunes and select the custom firmware you created above to restore your iPad 2.

• Once restored, you’llget your iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.3. 
• You can then head to JailbreakMe.com and start jailbreaking your device

Macbook Air vs iPad 2

Photo Credit (Redmond Pie)

• iPad 2 has a thickness of 8.8mm (thinner than iPhone 4) whereas the Macbook Air is 17 mm at its thickest, and 2.8mm at its thinnest.
• It looks like the Air is much thinner.
• Which one will you carry around? As for me - I carry around my MBA at the office/home and my iPad 1 is mainly at home or during my travel (outside office) or vacation. Of course I need to carry my iPhone 4 (since my iPad is WiFi only)
• MBA can do a lot more for my work as compared to iPad. Nothing can replace the Powerpoint, Word, Photoshop, Emailing, Surfing.
• But the iPad excel in other ways - light browsing, digital newspaper, ebook reading, gaming, watching videos...
• I used to list down 13 reasons why I like my iPad. I tried to purchase a lot of Productivity Apps after a month of usage thinking it can "really" increase my daily productivity.
• After 2 months of usage, I tried downloading several apps that can read PDF files to make my life easier reading eBooks. But it still failed to change my reading lifestyle.
• I heard a lot of students trying to justify their iPad purchase without knowing the long term impact to their study habits.
• I began to find my natural ways of using the iPad after 100 days.
• Nowadays (i.e. after 1 year using iPad), I think the best iPad app for me would be Flipboard. This is my Digital Newspaper and my reading material at home.

Year 2011 will be the Year of iPad 2

Steve Jobs made a personal appearance with his Keynote Speech on March 2, 2011.
A slimmer, faster, front facing camera and at the same price of iPad 1.
What's amazing is the thickness or the thinness of the device! Thinner than iPhone 4!
What strikes me is the "Smart Cover"... Truly unique and I am sure its patented - take a look at how you can roll the cover and turn it into a stand!

Verdict? Are you going to buy?

Why I Don't Need the iPad 2...

• You might want to ask this question yourself - if I already have the first generation iPad, do I need to upgrade and get the new iPad 2 which is expected to be launch in March 2, 2011?
• Personally my answer would be a "NO".... Why?
• I can be proudly considered myself as one of the earliest iPad owner (bought it in April 15, 2010). The ways I use my iPad have changed in the early months. From the first month, second month and third month. I have Jailbroken it several times. Purchased several accessories for it including a wireless keyboard and the camera connection kit.
• But somehow, things have changed drastically when I bought the latest Macbook Air which arrived Nov. 4, 2010. The size, weight and power of MBA attracted me so much that I have used the MBA more often and less on my iPad.
• It seems that all the things which I did on my iPad can be done better on my MBA!! I rarely bring along my iPad to office since its proved not to be the best device for office work. My iPhone is sufficient to cater my iPad needs at office. At work and home, my MBA is my new "best friend".
• Thus, when rumors mentioned about the latest iPad 2 with its new specs,  somehow it didn't excite me (like it used to excite me every time Apple launch a new product). For an Apple Fanboy, its weird eh?
• However, let's see in March 2 when Apple reveal the iPad 2 and see whether if there is truly a new breakthrough technology. Apple fans are also quite disappointed with the recent release of Macbook Pros. Hope, Steve Jobs will not disappoint the fans again...
