Try recovery mode.

You have no business trying to install a beta version of the iOS unless you are a developer. Wait until the public release comes out. There is a reason that this is a beta version.

If recovery mode will not work, the only thing that I can think of to try is DFU mode. This article will explain it. Find the link for the correct version if iOS 5.1.1 for your model of iPad as well. There is a link at the end - iPad firmware that should direct you to the website that lists all of the firmwares for the iPad.

What do you mean when you say that the Apple logo comes up every time? Do you mean on the iPad? I have no idea what the iOS install would look like but I assume that you are talking about on the iPad.


Wait - never mind - I know what you mean. The timing is critical when you try DFU mode - the 10 seconds thing - at least that is what I have read. See if you can try it again.


I don't know what else to try if recovery mode and DFU mode will not work.

I'm sorry, but like I said I no of nothing else to try. Maybe go back to recovery mode and see if that will work. And like I also said .... from what I have read, the 10 second timing is supposed to be fairly critical. Try it again. I don't know what else to try.


Other than contacting Apple for help, and they are not likely to want to help since you were trying to download an iOS that you weren't authorized to download, I just don't know what else to tell you.
