I have an ipad2 (4.5) (jailbreaked Cydia). Somebody jailbreaked it for me. I didn't want the jailbreak anymore so choosed to update the software. Ipad crashed. First tried to repair it with Itunes. Didn't get an error with a number just that the software was damaged and that I had to try again (after 8 times gave up). Didn't work Searched all internet and tried everything to repair it. I tried Tinyumbrella, red snow, with dfu mode, without dfu mode. Nothing helps. Still only thing that shows is that I have to connect the ipad to Itunes. What to do??? Bring it to somebody???? Or can anyone here help me? Thanks!!!

Try having a go with this tutorial written by my fellow moderator, f4780y: TUTORIAL - Failsafe method to restore the current version of IOS

If you follow the steps exactly as written, you should end up with a stock iPad running iOS 6.1.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.
