Yet another update and a word of warning to anyone else trying to update their M1 iPad... After 2 1/2 days I finally had to give up trying to install iPadOS 15 beta 2 - and instead tried to re-install 14.6. Some more major bad news: my brand new M1 iPad Pro is now completely bricked. I cannot get it out of Recovery Mode. Neither AppleCare reps nor Apple Developer reps are allowed to support anything having to do with beta software - so their only advice was for me to send the iPad in for hardware service. Yuk. I have no idea which of my not-so-bright ideas was the one that turned this into such a fiasco - but I'm guessing it was trying to update the iPad to a beta OS from a MacBook that was also running a beta OS. Seemed like such a great idea at the time...

Just tried the latest iPadOS beta 2 package (19A5281j) - same problem continues.

Urgently seeking some help here... I've also tried sending my iPad into Recovery Mode and then updating using the 15 beta 2 restore image, but alas, no difference. Finder on my M1 MBAir continues to say "Your Mac is updating this iPad" and it goes on and on and on (even overnight) and never completes

Update: I updated my M1 iPadPro 12.9 to iPadOS 14.6 - hoping that make a difference - but no. "Your Mac is updating the software on this iPad" for over 8 hours now... I've using the restore image: "11-in iPad Pro (3rd gen), 12.9-in. iPad Pro (5th gen) 19A5281h" restore image Also, I'm developing in a remote part of Mexico, and getting a USB-A to USB-C connector is doubtful, so trying to update from my iMac isn't an option... ☹️ Any ideas for how to get my M1 Air to update my M1 iPad???
