Q: ipad 2 frozen after 9.0.1 upgrade
After doing the latest update my screen is frozen, and it shows the iTunes icon. I've tried syncing it to iTunes, and it gives me the options to update or restore. I've tried doing both of those twice. It downloads, and then nothing happens the iPad stays frozen. Any suggestions?
iPad 2, iOS 9.0.1

I had same issue (iPad hadn’t been used for a while so was on 4.3.5). I spent days trying everything, took it to Apple who couldn’t fix it and offered to replace it another iPad 2 for £200! Their final advice was sell it for parts on eBay.
I have since found a fix to get it running again. I haven’t however been able to update it to a later version of IOS (have tried 5,6,7,8,9 without joy) so will have to stay on 4.3.5. I am planning to use Apple’s recycle programme to get a credit towards an iPad mini anyway now that it’s working.
So to fix it I used the software below and clicked on the unlock button
