My iPad Pro 2022 (M2) is stuck at the recovery screen. I’ve tried force rebooting but it again goes into the recovery mode. It all happened when I was trying to restore it via iTunes and it somehow failed for some reasons idk. The iOS got corrupted or something maybe and I can’t even restore it now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
Presumably your iPad indicates that it must be restored:
If you see the Restore screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
These support pages outline the available methods to restore an iPad - either from a backup, or to Factory Settings:
Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup – Apple Support
Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support
Restore all content to iPad from a backup - Apple Support
You’ll need access to either a Windows PC (with iTunes for Windows installed - or more recent Apple Devices App) or a Mac computer (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS).
Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support
Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support
Apple Devices App (Windows PC):

If your iPad isn’t recognised when connected, try using a different USB port; if your computer has both USB-C and USB Type-A ports, try a Type-A port. Otherwise, this support page should help with troubleshooting connection difficulties:
If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Use of a PC or Mac computer is unavoidable. If you don’t have access to a suitable computer of your own, that of a helpful friend or family member will suffice. Alternatively, the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be delighted to assist.

thanks for the answer! I just want to know why I'm unable to downgrade from iPadOS 18 beta x to stable iPadOS 17? I've tried every possible method and every tool available so far but to no success, i just don't want to use the beta version anymore, want to revert to the stable version.
