Solution

This http://www.techpetals.com/no-udid-install-ios-4.3-beta-2-on-iphone-ipad-ipod-without-udid-2901 should solve this problem.

I have chosen to go with Larzy, him being from the same country as I and all.

And it worked like a charm instantly, my iPad 3g is up and running again, with 4.3 beta software....thank you very much Larzy.

In case you are in the exact same situation as I, regarding your iPad being in recovery mode and you need its UDID to register it, Larzy wrote me a way to find it:

Mac:
Users -> User -> Library -> Application Support -> MobileSync -> Backup

Win7:
Users -> User -> AppData -> Roaming-> AppleComputer -> MobileSync-> Backup

The name of the folders in the backup folder corresponds to the UDID (only the first 40 digits, in win7 at least) of the device the backup belongs to. I found my iPads UDID this way.

hope you all get your ipads working again.

all the best

rukiiii

Wouldn't it be easier to follow this guide?

Alternatively, it seems that you can register your UDID here... I haven't tried it yet, and am just wondering whether it is legit?

well my registration was cheaper than 6$ and it was done by a trustworthy person. Regarding the method you are linking to, that isn't really applicable for the scenario I listed, but may work for others before they end up as I did.

I used them previously for 4.2 beta. I have since signed up for my own dev account.

I have done a couple for people on here too. There are a few other people registering.
