iPad stuck in recovery mode

I'm updating an iPad from iOS 6 to iOS 8 and even after trying to restore it says there is still a problem with the iPad. It sounds like it is stuck in recovery mode but I'm not 100% sure. Is there a way to fix this to prevent it from becoming an expensive paper weight?

Hi.Try to recover iPad by DFU mode, details as below:

1)Run iTunes on your PC or Mac.

2)Keep Holding Power Button for 5s and continue to hold Home button together for 10s.

3)Release Holding power button but still keep holding the home button about 15s.

4) iTunes will show "detected a device by recovery mode"

5) Click to Restore.


Regards,

Anson
