iOS 9.3.3 bricked iPad Air 2 with error 56

[bukalemun]

Hi,

After updating the iPad Air 2 using OTA to iOS 9.3.3 from iOS 9.3.2, the device was bricked. It is now not able to restore itself to neither iOS 9.3.x or iOS 10 using iTunes on any computer I tried. iOS 10 shows error 14, and iOS 9.3.x shows error 56. Has anyone encountered such problem? It looks like I'll need to contact Apple at the end.

I thought Apple would have pulled that update long ago from their servers?

It was 2 months ago since it was discovered and documented on this site.

Anybody know if there is a workaround?

This has nothing to do with what the OP said. The OP said that 9.3.3 is causing the issues, not 9.3.2.

He ran into the issue with 9.3.3, not 9.3.2 which the reference is to. I had no issues with my 128GB LTE Air 2 going from 9.3.1->9.3.2->9.3.3.

Yes, the issue is with 9.3.3 and not iPad Pro, it's iPad Air 2. I tried everything, trying to install iOS 10 beta, returning back to iOS 9.3.2, trying DFU, using another computer and cables, to no solution. Looks like I'll need to have the device serviced.
