My iPad is stuck on "Press Home to upgrade"!

Hello guys! So I need some urgent help with this little problem.

I had set a password for my iPad a while ago, and when I got it again, I couldn’t remember the password at all. As stupid as I am, I tried too many times, and I got the “iPad is disabled, connect to iTunes” screen. I manually installed the firmware for the iPad, and I updated my iPad software through iTunes on my PC. When it was done, I was met with a screen that said “iPad is disabled, try in 60 minutes”. I waited, but then a white screen showed up, and at the bottom, it said “Press Home to Upgrade”. My iPad home button is broken, and AssistiveTouch wouldn’t work either. I tried to connect my iPad to the computer again, but the computer is not recognizing the device.

Have I lost all hope of ever fixing my iPad, or is there still something I can do?

If you want to attempt recovering data / information from the iPad you need to get that home button fixed.

Otherwise you’ll need to manually install the firmware with a DFU restore which will at least let you re-use the iPad like it was new. You can re-enable assistive touch via 3utools with the enable assistive touch option under accessibility. iTunes also allows you to do this too.

The problem is, the PC cannot recognize the device that has been plugged in. Any suggestions?

Yeah you'll need to fix the home button to get past the press home to upgrade option.

Can't really force restart an iPad with a broken home button unless you open up the iPad and disconnect the battery.
