"There is a problem with your device"

here is the solution? you maybe say: here is the probably solution , or: the solution that works for me is....

we been trying all that you said . NOT WORK.. instead read all the coments in this forum

what ever, thanks for you try to help

Well, the solution worked for me twice, so I figured it would work for other people. Is my solution not working for you?

Ok, so on XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name Here\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates\
Vista/7:

C:\Users\Your User Name Here\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates

You may need to enable hidden folders. 🙂

No I have done your solution over 5 times already. I dont think it is the FW file or version, it is access to the activation server. You just got lucky is all.

I am going to move the file and retry a download ... forced update then I have to quit for a while. Been doing this all day and its VERY irratating.

DO NOT POST IT AS A SOLUTION .. you just got lucky and were able to hit the activation server is all. It is still down or whatever.

Thanks for the try though.

There appears to be some report over at http://www.sizlopedia.com/2011/05/14/fix-bricked-ios-4-3-3-iphone-ipad-and-ipod- touch-after-itunes-update/ . Does this fix work for anyone ? Apologies if someone quoted it before, this is a rather long thread.

Are you sure you properly put your device into DFU mode?

That makes no sense why my device would be working, as it is not like my iPad 1G has a different activation than your iPad 1G . . .

Vorksholk, no. Tried 3-4 times (using lastest update, and several times using other with Shift-click on 'Restore' button in iTunes) - no luck.

It updates, then after update shows iTunes icon and then after connecting to iTunes message about my iPad is broken.

Are you on the latest version of iTunes?

And you are sure your device is properly in DFU mode?

Yep. Checked several times: 10.2.2

Tried on Win7 and MacOS using different cables...

I have also tried that method.

For me it didn't work, but thank you for posting it.

That is very strange . . . Is your iPad a 1G Wifi-only iPad?

Well, I downgraded my iPad 1 to 4.2.1 using tinyumbrella and got the same problem. Now I've tried to update again to 4.3.3 and I got an error that says 'This device isn't eligible for the requested build.'

How without putting into DCU mode I could have ability to restore iPad (I've talking about big button in iTunes -"Restore", clicking on it holding SHIFT key allows to select firmware to flash)?

As I know, if iTunes prompting you to Restore - its a DFU mode.

I've used many intructions including this video:

But.. no success 😟

Mine is iPad 1generation 16Gb Wifi only. Never jailbreaked.

Error was shown yesterday just after clearing settings in the "Settings" tab (so it was even not update)
