iPad 2 Air - Stuck in restore mode.

Yaayuh! · 10 Oct 2018 at 16:35

Had a problem with the iPad getting stuck randomly with the default black screen and Apple logo now and then when i went to use it.

Decided to update it to iOS 12 to see if that fixed it but the update kept failing via the iPad. I tried via iTunes and it failed mid update and is now stuck in restore mode.

I keep getting the following error when trying to restore from different computers and different cables jsut to make sure.

Am I screwed?

"Buy our software to do exactly what iTunes does".

There’s free utilities available to get iPad/iPhone out of restore mode, I’ve used one for Mac before but can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called!

Error 14 is a flash memory failure I’m afraid
