I would guess that the signing information for iOS 7.1 has been removed from Apple's servers. Without this iOS 7.1 cannot be installed.

I can think of no reason why anyone would wish to downgrade from iOS 7.1.1 to iOS 7.1 anyway.

Apple does not support downgrading the iOS. Once a new version was released Apple probably removed the signing information for iOS 7.1. iOS upgrades and installations is only permitted to go to the latest version compatible with the device being upgraded. In the case of an iPad 2 that is presently iOS 7.1.1.

I doubt that has anything to do with iOS 7.1.1

Try resetting your iPad:

Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).

No data will be lost.

If that doesn't work backup and restore your iPad to Factory Setting using iTunes.

See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

If nothing works you may have a hardware problem. If so, contact Apple Support.

no ios device ever supported any type of official downgrade of firmware

working in software I'd say that it's because it mean having to support several os versions and it's 2 times the work for each version

Your ranting and profanity will not change anything. There is no way to downgrade iOS. You are just going to have to learn to live with it and that is that.
