Hi
Any further progress on the solution of this problem/error?
I've got an iPad 3. I was running a standard update and the iPad got stuck in restore mode.
When turned on it displays the connect to ITunes screen with the USB cable came up.
I tunes recognizes that it has connected to a device that needs to follow the restore procedure and the serial number say N/A.
It takes about 10 minutes and reloads all of the firmware but then ends with:
“The iPad, “iPad” could not be restored. An unknownerror occurred (52)”
I’ve seen this error 52 listed online by others but no solution. Maybe we have a hardware failure that happened with the latest update by coincidence? I have tried to restore with Mac and a Windows computer and ran the restore several times with the same results.
It runs what seems fully to the end of all the steps and status bars, and stops with the above code at last minute.
Looking for similar failures and possible solutions. Since is out of warranty they said it could not be repaired. Maybe others have had their machines repaired if it is indeed a hardware issue. Up to the time of installing the update the machine worked without issue.
