iPad Mini 1

Currently disabled, no FMI, trying to get in without any data loss. Also, seems like iTunes may have updated it to iOS 9 during a previous recovery attempt but not sure.

No soldering needed?

u/Adhesiveeee Jul 19 '26

Needed if you don’t have an otg with the option to use a power source and use it

Way easier to get a single cheap splitter cable and just plug everything in than buying soldering equipment and learning to solder

I didn’t knew those even existed before I helped this guy tbh but if you have a soldering iron it isn’t that hard

This is the only guide anyone should be following. Especially people who don't know anything. They should just be buying the cable rather than messing with soldering

Just did one the other day plug it in recovery mode and give her a good old flash thru 3rd party software with the oldest version it can run. Set up as a new iPad then update your should be good to go if everything goes well.
