Hi All.
Have been given an iPad 2 (Wifi and 3G) but i just cant get it to work. iTunes sees it and says its in recovery mode and i try to restore (both by just clicking restore) and by manually trying by downloading the correct update. Nothing I try works. I either get an error code (21, 1600) etc or it just gets to about 75% done and says "restoring ipad firmware" and nothing happends. Any way i can get it to restore?
Thanks
iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3
Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097
Tried all that, thanks. I can get it to start to restore but then it just freezes when it gets to "restoring ipad firmware", same thing whether i let itunes update it or if i manually update.
Hey,
I have the same issue... did you ever get this resolved?
Sadly no. Sold it on in the end.
It happend to me last night as well. I keep getting the same two errors 3965 and 4005 and i am unable to restore any ipsw firmware version on my iPad 2.
I just clicked update ipad software to 7.0.3 when prompted in itunes and it didn't go through with it.
Is there any solution for this? Or should I take this to an Apple Store? Thanks
the only way to restore your Ipad 2 is to open your Ipad and remove the LCD screen then you have to remove the volume control doughterboard connectore cable from the logic board (you can see this in youtube how to open your Ipad). Then connect your ipad to PC and make restore through Itunes it will take 5 minuts maxiumum.
For sure 100 percent it will work! fix every thing back and restart your ipad. This is the only way to get your ipad working again.
After that when it is working let me know if you want to know why this problem occured?
I think you forgot to say:
put it under water for 2 minutes and wait for the bubbles to come out.
iPad stuck on firmware update
