YES! I can corroborate that the current iPadOS 14 Beta update APPEARS TO FIX the 3-minute boot loop issue. As I write, I've had several hours without problems on Public Beta 3, which is the only one so far to fix the issue. As said by others, make sure you get Beta 3 to test whether it fixes this issue for you. (On my first go at this I was (automatically) given Beta 2, and was only offered the OTA update to Beta 3 the next day.)


TL;DR:


Opinions: (1) Some people posting on this forum seem to have different and/or additional symptoms to the original poster, and the majority including me (symptoms summarised below). So if this fix doesn't work for you it probably means that you have a different underlying problem that needs a different solution. (2) While I'm glad this seems fixed for now, the whole thing leaves a bad taste. Final word from Apple support at every turn has been, 'this is a hardware issue: pay £$500+ for repair'. This fix proves (if we needed proof) that iPadOSes 13.4.1 - 13.6 contained a 'bug' that unnecessarily bricked some relatively recent, top of the range (once), previously fully functional iPads FOR 2 MONTHS. There did not appear to be a mechanism for affected users to get a fair and timely resolution, so some (many?) paid for repairs or new devices. (I relied on my personal iPad for work and my employer paid for a replacement, fortunately just a week ago and so eligible for 'open-box' return.) My opinion of Apple would only be (mostly) restored if I see the bug acknowledged in 'patch notes', and hear that people affected get repair and replacement costs refunded on request. I get that affected users were 'a drop in the ocean', but the fact we've been vindicated (it's a firmware 'bug' not (just?) a 'hardware issue') shows that Apple needs a better procedure for this type of situation. Otherwise, they're accepting that some customers are going to get screwed, and they're fine with it.


Symptoms: immediately after updating to iPadOS 13.4.1 (and I assume any firmware 13.4.1 - 13.6), my iPad Pro Gen 2 10.5 reboots to Apple logo 3 minutes after sign in leaving the following in Settings>Privacy>Data Analytics: 2 x "stacks+thermalmonitord...ips" followed by "panic-full...ips" "no successful checkins from com.apple.thermalmonitord in 180 seconds..."


Timeline & attempts to fix: I upgrade to 13.4.1 on/around 10 May; posted in this forum on 19 May; had a tech support chat session in mid-May; emailed customer relations (as suggested by MichelPM) in May; had a Genius Bar appointment on 19 July (when I finally got back to London). I lost count of the number of DFU restores and iPadOS upgrades through 13.6 - none of which fixed the issue.

Hi,


Anyone had similar issue with iPad Air 2, I have tried to update to beta 3 and 4 but i never managed to complete the installation as it continually boot on apple logo.


Also tried iOS 13.6.1 but installation did not complete and reboot on apple logo. I have reverted back to iOS 13.6 and now it reboot randomly.


See below panic report log

This looks different than what most of us on this thread have experienced. My panic-full-xxx.ips file would have:


no successful checkins from com.apple.thermalmonitord in 180 seconds\nservice:


My issue started with 13.4 but I could install updates if I closed my cover to turn off the display once I started the Update process. Good luck to you.

Just installed iPadOS 14.0. I wasn't particularly hopeful but this is the last chance for us isn't it? Anyway, after it installed the boot loop is still there, in fact sometimes it reboots after 3 mins and other times after only a minute. I really hope others are luckier than me, but Apple obviously don't care. As one of their employees said to me on the phone a few months ago - "We sell millions of iPads every year, and only a few thousand have problems." Also implied that to have a few years' use out of an iPad is a good deal.

Really, really hope the update works for you all somehow.

Would highly recommend anyone who purchased their iPad with a credit card to see if your credit card has a free extended warranty coverage on top on the standard warranty. Some credit cards offer 2 years extra coverage. This protection may even stack with other warranties you may have purchased like Best Buy or square trade. Worth checking on that in case you have this benefit.

It says 14.2 Public Beta 3....sorry I didn’t include that earlier. It continued to work for several more hours but then did have one reboot but now working more than 10 hours straight without another reboot. Also seems to have fixed a problem in fully charging the battery...previously it would not charge past 47-49% after 13.4.1 update but have now charged it to 100% twice. Strange....

I'm new to the club :( - iPad Pro 10.5 must have updated from a stable version and now I'm stuck on a boot loop on 14.0. Just to confirm I'm having the same issue - do you see the white Apple logo boot screen for around 10 seconds and then the screen goes black and repeats?


I was able to get it boot once laying flat on the desk but when I picked it up boot loop starts again :(
