I have my iPad 3G have been jailbroken & it's been running good but last 2 days I see some update on Cydia I just go ahead update them after that cydia ask to restart springboard & after my ipad restart it go to recovery mode & just stay there even I turn it off (by holding power & home button as the same time) it still go back to recovery mode. I try to restore thru my iTunes 9.1.1 & iTunes show me an error 9 & it put my iPad back on recovery mode. What I did wrong? Any advide? Please help. Thans in advance.

Put the ipad into DFU mode before restoreing.

#1 connect to itunes
#2 hold both home and sleep/wake buttons untill it reboots
#3 once the screen goes off to reboot count to 10
#4 after counting to 10 release the sleep/wake button but continue holding the Home button.

itunes should pop up a message saying it found an ipad in DFU mode and you can restore it.

I think I am having the same issue. I wish I would have read this before I installed that update. I just got the little "thinking" circle.

Actually I just did a hard reboot and was patient and it loaded np

I do the same as you said but when I try to restore iTunes show me an error #9 & it stop & put it back to recovery mode again. Any more advise?

Update and restore alert messages on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off of the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Thanks let's me try connect it to different USB port with a different sync cable see it may work, if not can I try with another computer with iTune 9.2?

It do the samething with different USB port & cable. Should I try with iTunes 9.2?

I guess if I were you, I would see if you can get an Apple store to help you. I don't know where you are located. Then I would stay away from Jailbreak for a while until you get some more experience. Just me of course, you are taking some chance with Jailbreak though.

Doubt he would want to do that since his iPad is jailbroken and voids the warranty...
