iPad mini 3 (cellular) won't restore after upda...

Hey,

I'm having trouble restoring my iPad 3 mini 3g (A1600)

i was updating the iOS to 11.0.2 a week ago from the device and it crashed while updating and i can't make it work again,

I'm getting error 9.

i've tried different genuine usb cables even bought a new one

i've tried restoring it from my mac and on another windows 10 laptop

i've tried downloading the ipsw file with iTunes and on external firmware websites

i've tried restoring my mac and installing new clean os and it still makes the same errors

i got a MacBook pro the iPad connects directly to my laptop.. no usb hubs or anything

The iPad worked perfectly before that iOS update pop up showed up..

i've tried clicking on the 'restore' and 'update' buttons...

my device is in great condition good as new.. i rarely use it with my drone..

another weird thing is when is when i go to my mac >>storage >> manage >> iOS files it shows my the ipsw as an iPad air 2 (a1566) which is not my device firmware.. but when i download the firmware from another site for my particular device its downloading the same file and shows the same model (a1566) on that ipsw again..

i've restored so many apple products and it never got that messy..

if anyone could help me let me know..

thanks.

have you tried restoring the operating system from a Virgin device? try connecting to a PC or Mac that does not know your device. At the least, you should see how your

...Device is seen

as i wrote before..

i've tried on my MacBook pro and on a windows laptop didn't work on both

i even reinstalled a new clean copy of mac os on my mac ..

same error..

i've tried anything that is written in that error page..

i really think that this might be apple's problem with recognizing my device and downloading the wrong ipsw file.. (for iPad air 2 instead of mini 3) although iTunes recognize it as iPad mini 3 cellular ..
