Cannot activate after restore

[bogotesr]

iPad mini 2 downgraded to 11.4.1 using this command

python3 sunstorm.py -i /Users/bogo/sunst0rm/11.ipsw -t /Users/bogo/sunst0rm/2699597210068_iPad4\,4_j73ap_12.5.5-16H62_3a88b7c3802f2f0510abc432104a15ebd8bd7154.shsh2 -r -d j85ap --kpp --skip-baseband --legacy

Everything goes well. I cannot get the normal boot script to work so I used Ramiel which worked but now I cannot activate. It says "Your iPad could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting your iPad to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." A couple minutes later (and a day later) still doesn't work. connecting to iTunes just gives "unexpected response from device".

Anybody got any idea?

Make sure to pwn with ipwndfu/eclipsa/ipwnder_lite to activate it, then you can use gaster or whatever else later. I always had issues with Ramiel, no matter what it was pwned with.

ipwndfu errors, I haven't tried the others, will report back.

Sadly it would appear that it is boot looping from dfu (which doesn't make sense to me) I can run ipwnder lite and it works but then it unmounts comes back and then running the boot script it cuts out half way though and isn't pwnd anymore

lost a good device today I guess 🪦

Get it in secureROM dfu, not LLB dfu. Make sure you do the dfu combinations to get in normal dfu.

how would I do that @itsnebulalol ?
