iPad stuck in boot loop

I have a 6th gen iPad that was on the iPadOS 14 public beta 3 that is stuck in a boot loop after downgrading to 13.6. I tried to connect it to iTunes but it's not getting recognised and it doesn't boot into recovery either (it just loops the apple logo twice and powers off). What do I do?

If iPad isn’t responding, do one of the following:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On an iPad with Face ID: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.




If iPad still doesn’t turn on, or if it gets stuck during start up, see the Apple Support article If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t turn on or is frozen.
