i received one of my family members old ipad and would like to jailbreak it, it's a 32gb ipad with wifi and i think 3g (its asking for a sim card..this is the first apple device i have). its running iOS 5.0.1 (9a405), and its modem firmware is 07.11.01 (is the modem firmware important?).

i tried using redsn0w 0.9.10b5 but after everything loads through (the wall of text, the pineapple) it remains stuck at the apple logo, turning on then off by itself every few minutes. had to recover using itunes. i've been trying this for hours and i can't figure it out.

please help...
