How to restore the iPad mini (A20 Pro)

Four steps, and the one that matters most is the first.

Back up first

A restore erases the device. Make an archived backup in Finder or the Apple Devices app — an iCloud backup taken on a newer version cannot be restored onto an older one. Our backup guide covers the difference.

Get the file for your exact model

Check Settings → General → About → Model Name, then download the IPSW for that device. The download shows the file size; compare it with the SHA-256 under Details if you want to be certain the file is intact.

Restore in Finder or Apple Devices

Connect with a cable, select the device, then hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and click Restore to choose the .ipsw. Update keeps your data but only works upward; Restore erases and is how you downgrade.

Set up or restore your backup

After the restore the device starts fresh. Restore the backup you made — only if it came from the same or an older version than the one you just installed.

Questions? Answers.

Which iPad mini (A20 Pro) firmware can I install right now?

Apple is currently signing 1 of the 1 builds listed for the iPad mini (A20 Pro); the newest is iPadOS 27.3 beta (24C5037i). Use the Signed filter to see only those — an unsigned file will be rejected at the end of the restore.

How do I find my iPad mini model?

Settings → General → About shows the Model Name. Every iPad mini (A20 Pro) has the identifier iPad19,1 or iPad19,2, and model number A3595, A3596, A3597 on the back or in About. The Wi-Fi and Cellular variants use the same restore image.

What does "signed" mean?

Apple's servers must approve a firmware before a device will accept it, and Apple only approves the builds it is currently shipping. A signed file can be restored today; an unsigned one is rejected at the end of the process, however you obtained it. Signing status changes without notice, usually within days of a newer release, which is why this catalogue rechecks it automatically.

Will I lose my data?

A Restore erases the device — that is what makes a downgrade possible. An Update with an IPSW keeps your data, but only when moving to a newer version. Either way, make an archived backup on a computer first; an iCloud backup taken on a newer version will not restore onto an older one.

Where do these files come from?

Every download link points directly at Apple's content network (updates.cdn-apple.com). The catalogue — which file belongs to which device, its size and its SHA-256 — is assembled from Apple's own software catalogs by way of AppleDB, and nothing is re-hosted or modified here.
