currently using iPad mini 2 (WiFi only version, 64GB),
I bought the refurbished one.

when I bought it in 2016, it was on iOS9 and able to be updated till iOS11 without issues.
but when I updated to iOS12, I got stuck to the activation screen.

restore from DFU-mode tried, no avail.
tried normal restore, no avail.
tried using 3rd-party tools (3u Tools), no avail.

iTunes?
this error message.


this iPad don't even got any SIM slots to begin with.

I asked Apple Support forum, they suggested to call Apple.
I can't make a call due to my tight schedule.

from the Support page, Apple did mention about Repair/Service Centers.
anyone knows one from Shah Alam/Klang area?
planning to dropby whenever got the moment.

thanks.
