Aug 15, 2014 5:02 AM in response to bhavingajinkarby imobl,What are the issues? What have you tried? What happened when you tried?
If there is an error message, what is the exact complete wording of that message?
You need to provide more details before someone can offer assistance.

Thank for providing these links.
I have already tired options mentioned in first 3 links, but couldn't resolve the issue.
The 4th link, I couldn't check with this option since the application cannot be installed due to system security.
Could you suggest any other way? Can the Apple support team be able to resolve this ?

Mar 27, 2016 1:59 PM in response to bhavingajinkarby IngRafa,I had the same problem and was stuck for 3 days.
Then I tried the restore procedure connecting the ipad to a different computer, and it worked.
Then I connected to my computer to restore the last backup.Here is a link to the restore procedure i used:If you can’t activate your iPad 2 (GSM model) after you update to iOS 9.3 - Apple Support
It seems like the patched version has the same number of the bad one. So iTunes does not download it, but uses the local copy.
I hope this helps..
Rafael.
