Hi Shane, Yes, it is necessary to first restore a jailbroken device to it's original state so to speak before you can upgrade to a new version of iOS. Anyhow, sounds like things are back on track for you.

I unplugged it and when I pluged it back in, it said the iPad was in recovery mode. Then it said that I had to restore the iPads software before proceeding to the update. Is this how it normally works when trying to update or restore A jailbroken iPad? Should I have done something different, or are these the steps that you take in doing this? And what exactly is recovery mode, and how do you enter into it? I just got a message saying that the iPad software had been restored back to factory settings, so I think I'm on the right track. But just curious on how this works, because I've never done this before. I called Apple, and of course I knew that they weren't going to be of much help since the iPad is jailbroken, but the guy that answeredthe phone once I mentioned it was jailbroken, sort of had a for lack of a better phrase, smart ass tone in his voice when he said that would be the reason why you can't update. Maybe try a restore but I really can't help you any further. So I figured I would reach out to you all about it... Thanks for any and all input regarding this. Shane.
