iPad Air M3 bootlooping

[raw dagger]

After just getting MobileGestalt with ashell mini my iPad bootloops. Apple logo, black screen, a small blink, nothing.
I didnt even manage to do any tweaks, just grabbed MobileGestalt, connected it to misaka, checked out tweaks, found nothing interesting, tried installing trollstore just to get a "find my" error. Disconnected, tried to install tvOS beta profile to get rid of OTA message, it sent me a error, I decided to reboot it. Shut off and now this.
M3 11-inch, 18.6.2, 128 gb
Currently shaking and scared af. Please help

Gets into recovery mode tho. I'm afraid of having to update iOS and losing data, even though there's nothing really valuable on it.

Why would you try to install trollstore

if you read you would notice that it isn’t compatible

And anyways restoring it should update it to 26.1

data won’t be lost

Was curious what it would do, i know it’s incompatible anyway. Could it break it someway? It said that “find my” is enabled, and it can’t do nothing. I don’t think that just installing TrollStore interacts with MobileGestalt in some way.

[jovial pagoda]

Ok

Well you have to restore it

open iTunes, restore, done

What data on there

[raw dagger]

Yeah, but how do I know the MobileGestalt isn’t corrupted? Isn’t it persistent to updates?

[jovial pagoda]

I think it has an original file

[raw dagger]

What do you mean?

Oh i got it

But how could it break if nothing changed

Everything I did is I grabbed the file. I did read it, not write… Or the grabber script has some bug?

I can’t explain this other than that

[raw dagger]

nothing important, i just don’t wanna reinstall all the apps

the whole situation is weird since i did apply the tweaks on my 16e and even regenerated after, and it’s doing just fine

[jovial pagoda]

idrk how to help rn, maybe wait for someone that’s knows more than me

[raw dagger]

:(

thanks for the effort though

[patent nebula]

did you back up the device before running misaka?

[raw dagger]

no

or maybe yes

is there any way to fix it other way?

[tawdry shadow]

Use nugget remove tweaks

Works for me when removing tweaks

[raw dagger]

but i used misaka, and didnt do anything at all with the file

[patent nebula]

i think he's fucked, he said he tried to install trollstore lol

[tawdry shadow]

Js do it

[tawdry shadow]

BRO WHAT 😭 😭

[raw dagger]

well it said that find my should be disabled, so i guess it didnt do nothing

[patent nebula]

your only option is to take it to apple directly and see if they can restore your ipad to the latest version without losing your apps, or try it yourself and restore the backup after restoring your device

[raw dagger]

there is one sad thing

even though this ipad is still on the warranty

i live in the worst place in the world

russia

and there is no apple stores or anything

alright, fuck the apps and photos, could the corrupted mobilegestalt file be persistent to updates/restores?

[patent nebula]

no

[raw dagger]

ok

[patent nebula]

if you restore your device with finder/itunes it will fix itself

I'm not sure if your problem is that simple though, since installing trollstore is different than a small tweak to a file

[raw dagger]

also i saw in some thread on github (or somewhere else) that the security something mode that is tweakable on 26+ might be persistent to updates

and it is stored in mobilegestalt

and it was just a theory

nobody tested it

[patent nebula]

right, but restores are different than updates, you're basically reformatting your device completely

[clever owl]

clearly stated on the github btw

[raw dagger]

and im not blaming anyone

i know that im a goofy goober

just need some assistance right now, thats why i came here

[clever owl]

restoring is only thing you can do ig
