I just bought a new iPad 2 and it comes with iOS 4.3.5 already. Can I use the instruction here to downgrade it back to 4.3.3? I read some posts which mentioned that I need to have saved the SHSH of my iPad2 in I want to do a downgrade. But mine is fresh out of the box and I do not have such thing with me...can someone please point me to the right direction?

I'm still having error updating/restoring to 4.3.3 with error from apple, saying my ipad2 isnt eligible for the requested build. I UNCHECKED "Set Hosts to Cydia on Exit", on TinyUmbrella, but the error is still there. I would appreciate any help.

I have similar problem. The reason for that is "Apple has stopped supporting/signing firmware 4.3.3", meaning we won't be able to upgrade to 4.3.3. Probably there is/are other way to bypass the 'checking of eligibility' ...... hopefully
