iPadOS 13 "firmware is not compatible"

Trying to restore a dev iPad to iPad_Fall_2018_13.0_17A5492t_Restore.ipsw on a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9", and I keep getting "This iPad could not be restored because the firmware is not compatible"


I've tried re-downloading the ispw, no go. Anyone else seeing this?

In this situation, the iTunes can't recognize the firmware or the IPSW file is not matched with your device. You can restart your iPad and update iTunes to the latest version. Or download the right firmware file by visiting IPSW Downloader. Besides, you can also use the third-party iOS system recovery tool to fix this issue. Or you can directly go to the Apple store to seek suggestions.
