iPad 2 / A1395 recovery stucks at "Waiting for the preparation of drive boot sector"

Postby Richard » 11 Jan 2021 06:53

Hi guys,
I try to recover my ipad 2 / A1395 as it stucks in recovery mode. When I try to download iOS 9.3.5. The process stops at "Waiting for the preparation of drive boot sector". The ipad displays the apple logo and progress bar remains at zero percent. Can anyone give me a hint or is my ipad ready for trash?
Thanks in advance!
Richard

PS: If I use the Easy Flash Options the tools stucks at "Waiting for NAND".

Hello, when your iPad gets stuck on recovery mode, you could exit it through manually force restarting the device. Or you could try the mac repair tool to exit iPad recovery mode with merely one click for free. This software can fix many iOS issues without data loss, you could give it a shot. If unfortunately, these methods don't work, then you might have to contact the Apple Store.

Hello, please try these:
1. Force restart your iPad;
2. Restore iPad via iTunes; remember to back up data as it takes a risk in deleting them all;
3. Use Joyoshare UltFix to fix your iPad issue without data loss and with an almost 100% success rate.
