iPad 2 in restore loop. Won’t restore in either DFU or Restore mode Firmware loads until “Updating Baseband” then restore is stuck. 3U tool log shows the restoration stalling at “Updating baseband\n”. Re-setting iPad returns iPad into restore loop SHSH shows iPad2,2_9.3.5_13G36_Restore.ipsw is correct iPad has battery works Constructive thoughts?

iTunes error #1 and reflowing Appears to be hardware fault in either degrading flash or baseband chip according to the article above. With an Apple Ipad 2 16gb GSM worth about $30 - $40 it doesn’t make sense to aim the “parts cannon” at it. Regards
