Sounds like you might have a hardware failure.

Yeah, but you'll need it to be running stock 5.1.1, unjailbroken because they will not help you if the device is modified in any way.

If it runs normally and just turning it off causes it to malfunction, then hardware is a possibility.

As far as the firmware being scrambled up, I believe that is due to "operator error" as I like to call it (based on all the preceding posts).

yeah thats true so its def a hardware issue it did have the ipad bb but managed to downgrade it

the seriel is 929? was it compatible in the first place?

yeah i made a rookie error i still dont know why i reflashed the ipad bb again oh well learn by your mistakes lol and so hardware issue is the problem going to cost me a bit as not under warranty
