Q: ipad mini apple boot loop

Hello,

I made the mistake of updating my ipad recently and i now have an issue. When I try to turn it on the apple logo appears and it flashes and then goes blank (screen is still lit) it will continue to do this until the battery dies or forever if plugged in. I have tried DFU mode and everything similar to try and get it into recovery mode and it typically fails. Only a few times has itunes recognized it, and when itunes tries to install the ios it fails because it cannot detect the ipad (error 4005). I even downloaded REIboot and this didnt work either. Please someone help, this has to be a software issue as I know the battery is charging.

thank you!!!

Try updating iTunes and your computer operating system. Change the USB cable you're using.

More information about the error 405 is available here:

Well I tried doing the updates and using a different cord, and the same thing is going on. The only change that happened is I am now getting a 4014 error. I cant imagine this issue is unfixable since it is from a software update. It has to be software related as it worked great before the update.

thanks for the suggestions!

Anyone else have any ideas?
