Jailbroken iPad 3 stuck in Recovery Mode after iOS7 update :'(

[skittleyfeather]

Hey guys!

I know there are heaps of posts like these around and I am sorry in advance if there's a solution out there somewhere out there and I'm repeating the same question.

So here's the problem, I stupidly installed the iOS7 update on my Jailbroken iPad 3 after some apps started crashing a little (cos I thought it was time to be updated), and my device is now stuck in Recovery Mode. I tried using RecBoot, but it stuck in a loop and it doesn't work.

Help me out here? :'( I badly need my iPad and I really don't want to restore it.

Thanks in advance x

I'm afraid that you'll have to restore, losing your jailbreak in the process. I hope you have a recent backup. This tutorial, if every step is followed exactly, will result in a fully functional iPad on the latest iOS. http://www.ipadforums.net/jailbreak...lsafe-method-restore-current-version-ios.html

Thanks for the reply, scifan!

So that means I should restore my iPad and then follow the tutorial? Thanks.

The tutorial will show you how to restore to the latest software version. When you carry out the instructions exactly, you'll restore your iPad and iOS 7.0.3 will be installed on it in the end.

Sorry for the really late reply. Was really busy for the past month. Thank you for all the replies! My iPad is up and running iOS7 now

I'm afraid that unless you have a backup of your iPad, you will lose all your data, including your photos. There is no way to recover them from a device that needs to be restored in order to operate properly.

I'm afraid that the iOS cannot be downgraded. There is no data recovery software that can be used, especially on a non-operational iPad like yours.
