    Yes, you can jailbreak it with Redsn0w 0.9.6 b8 onwards by installing cydia.
    Then run redsn0w again by choosing ipad bb to be updated for unlock with Ultrasn0w.
    Becareful when updating to ipad baseband, do jailbreak first and then do the ipad bb update and don't interupt while flashing the bb.

    The newest redsn0w 0.9.9b7 can fetch ipad bb but the old one doesn't. The newer version may not let you install ipad bb at 4.2.1, you can try.

    Will try the newer version of redsnow & see if I can, or if it will let me change the bb to iPad,
    Worth a try....?
    Or would it be best jus to use redsnow 09.6 b8?
    Also is their links on this site for the files &programs that I nd to carry out the process?
    Just thinking is it worth all the hassle bcos I dont want to brick my iPhone.

    How to Fix Sn0wbreeze Not a Valid IPSW Error on Windows? | Jaxov

    Try option 3 on how to fix the sn0wbreez error. Try first restoring via itunes to whatever ipsw you are planning on using, then use that same ipsw for sn0wbreeze. Here's the iclarified link so you can try re-downloading the ispw. oh, and if it works, remember when your phone gets to the process where it's sitting at a green screen, do NOT shut it off, just restore in itunes with the custom ipsw it spits out with the shift restore.

    and about the bb, if you have the 5.08 bootloader, you can use fuzzyband in cydia. im stuck on 6.15 b/c like an idiot i upgraded it to the ipad bb. now i cant officially unlock and have to use either a cingular sim (because prepaid gophone locks me out w/ att sim) or airvoice which are both att.

    MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service, use this to install ipad bb . If you are asked to browse to, then go download ipad 1 3.2.2 firmware

    Run it in xp sp2 mode.
