iPad Air 2 - 9.3.2 update results in error 56
I tried to update my perfectly fine iPad Air 2 to 9.3.2 and now I have an expensive paper weight. Error 56
I assume it corrupted the firmware, is there any way to fix this?
iPad Air, iOS 9.3.1, error 56
Error 56 may be a hardware issue but try Recovery Mode:
Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes.
While your device is connected, force restart it: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button for at least 10 seconds, and don't release when you see the Apple logo.
Keep holding until you see the recovery mode screen and wait for it to restore.
You may have to do the above more than once as recovery mode is difficult to get into.
Restore as New first and test it. Then restore from backup if desired. If the backup is corrupted it will likely bring back the issue.
