Description

The listing, 32GB iPad 2, STUCK IN RECOVERY MODE has ended.

I'm giving away my mom's black 32GB iPad 2 (model A1397), which is STUCK IN RECOVERY MODE.

I have tried to restore it from several computers via iTunes, but it always results in an error message (see pics). Not sure if it's a hardware issue, and not sure if it's repairable.

Please ONLY BID IF YOU THINK YOU CAN FIX IT! IT DOES NOT WORK IN ITS CURRENT STATE! Keep in mind that I have not been able to restore it after multiple attempts!

It's engraved w/ "From Laptop to iPad, epy"

The only thing included is the iPad. No cables!

Ships free to winner w/ tracking.

Here's one way you can fix it....go onto your computer and go to www.icloud.com so you can access the "find my iPhone" app, enter your appleID and password, find your ipad, then wipe the ipad clean. After that your ipad will be like new again, done deal.

This ipad doesn't show up on icloud when we log in with the ID associated with it. I think it has already been wiped clean, so it can't be traced. :( Thanks for the suggestion though!

Are you sending it in a box?
Would you lower days?

Jan 7th, 2014 at 9:30:26 AM PST by

Yup, I'll package it safely w/ lots of padding in a regular shipping box (don't have the original ipad box). Sorry, can't lower the days. Good luck!

you hold down the power button and the home button at the same time one that shows up yr you turn it off hold down the power button and reconnect the cable instructions on how to fix this at apple.com it just happened to my grandsons iPad yesterday and I fixed it

Jan 11th, 2014 at 5:44:01 AM PST by

Have you tried to restart it?
Hold down the home button and power button at the same time... And you'll see a black screen then it turn to a apple boot logo. Maybe it will turn back on from there?

Jan 10th, 2014 at 9:44:17 PM PST by

I've tried that, no luck.

Jan 11th, 2014 at 7:46:34 AM PST by

guys... stop and read this. the error Is a hard drive. it needs a new one. no jailbreak will fix. it happens... a new hard drive will run you $65.

As much as I would love to win this from you, I morally can't do it without first telling you about that so this way you could just fix it yourself. I'm surprised the genius bard isn't tell you the same thing

Jan 7th, 2014 at 11:54:06 PM PST by

thanks - i've tried everything short of jailbreaking it with no luck. if it's easy to fix, then my loss is your gain! :)

Jan 8th, 2014 at 11:09:41 AM PST by

its a easy fix when mine did that i jailbroke it then unjailbroke it and it was normal but depends on how long its been like that if its been like that for longer then a year it really cant be fixed unless your like a pro programer

Jan 7th, 2014 at 8:07:56 PM PST by

Jan 7th, 2014 at 3:05:59 PM PST by

Have you tried contacting apple support? =x

Jan 7th, 2014 at 2:54:42 PM PST by

yep, took it to a genius bar. they couldn't restore the ipad either.

Jan 7th, 2014 at 3:02:10 PM PST by

I fix these for a living so hope I get this one

Jan 7th, 2014 at 10:04:10 AM PST by
