Another iPad-2 saved


Mine was stuck on the Image of the USB wire

and iTunes was helpless

But

after downloading the IPSW file

I did Option Clcik on the Restore button and the entire process was rally fast about 2 minutes to a "Brand New" iPad


There certainly seem to be some corrupt 6.1 files out there in the Over the Air download process

ok.. after further search on the internet i found a fix. the problem is because i have a jail broken ipad on my computer, it has chaged some iTunes settings and now it can't connect to apple server for final verification,


fix: you need to restore the ipad using a different pc. i tired that and it works.
