Hi George let me try to help you … do exactly like i say please and let see if that work OK
first restart you computer and ipad ( i don’t know if you are in Mac or PC)
when both are restart.
plug your iPad in your computer
1) press shift (PC) or option (mac)
2) maintain the key pressed and them press update in itunes you will see a window open and them localize your firmware 4.2 and let iTunes do the job for you , normally that should work fine … if not find RecBoot 1.0.2 in Google download the one you need (PC or MAC) and when your iPad show the itunes symbol and the error message start redBoot exit and enjoy your device in 4.2 beta 2
PS: this tool also work for downgrade
I hope that help and work for you
Well. I'll be darned. It worked. I have no idea why it worked, but it did.
The
only thing different between this morning's attempt and yesterday's several attempts was the cold boot of both the PC and the iPad.
Thanks very much for your persistence and patience.
If you choose to do your own thing that's your choice if it fails don't complain.
Now, you know perfectly well that you are wasting your breath!
