Hello everyone. First off I would like to say that I do not own a iPad or iDevice so I'm not too familiar with going about issues. However I can follow directions well and know my way around the computer and Android devices (root, rom, etc) well.
So my teacher today gave me his son's iPad3 64gb and said that his son tried doing the 6.1 update with low battery and the battery died during update. He couldn't fix it after trying so he wanted me to give it a shot. I came home plugged it into my MacBookPro and the itunes symbol with the usb plug came on, itunes told me it was in restore mode and if I wanted to restore. It didn't work and gave me a error 9. I then looked up and saw I had to put it on UDF mode which I was able to do and it starts to look for update, then screen comes on with apple symbol and a status bar and error 9 again. I then read about TinyUmbrella and was able to take it off restore mode but it went into a loop of the apple symbol. I manually downloaded 6.1 firmware, I restarted everything as I saw to try this to fix error 9 and seemed like it fixed error 9 but now itunes saying "The iPad could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for requested build." I tried downloading 6.0.1 and same error. What else should I try? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
