IOS 12.1.1 - Unable to use iPad - Activation Problem- iPad Model Prob.
Hey!
I recently encountered a problem with my iPad Air 2 (Cellular+Wi-Fi A1567) after restoring to the latest iOS 12.1.1. My device could not be activated because the activation information is invalid in iTunes. So now my device a not usable, I couldn't activate using WiFi as the antenna has broken.
What I found when I was playing around:
- iTunes, the "Model Identifier" Was wrong as it shows iPad5,3 instead of iPad5,4 (which is mine)
- Under "Regulatory" there it also displayed the wrong model number(A1566 EMC 2822)
Please see the images(https://imgur.com/a/4yBr4Zt) for more information(Sorry i can't get the picture of the back of the iPad)
I tried the iTunes restore & update function in both recovery mode and normal mode.
Is there a fix for that?
Apple repair cost me $400+ in my country which is going to cost me an arm and a leg.That's why asking for help here.
Thank in advance!

Hi, the first question should be what model of iPad do you have? Do your iTunes is updated? Do you have backup copy of all the data? Did iTunes show you error code if yes wich number? Did you try another lightning cable and usb port? Because if is in recovery mode there is a problem with the iOS and hope you have a copy of the iPad on iTunes or iCloud.
Try this app to exit the recovery mode :

If you see here there is a list of devices that can be updated to iOS 12.1.1.I think that you can check the models and confirm you model.If right now the iPad is in recovery mode and you don;t have a backup you can try two things:

Your hardware markings are telling you have a iPad Mini 4 (Cellular/WiFi) and the 3rd image is telling us you have a iPad Mini 4 (WiFi only). So clearly this is not a iPad Air2
