I want to recover my ipad by using dfu mode. My Ipad is in ios 7 and I don't want to update it further to ios 8. If I use dfu mode to recover it, will it automatically update my ipad to ios 8?
iPad, iOS 7
Restoring your iPad will automatically update to iOS 8.4 if it's not an older iPad model.

Even if restoring it with different ways it will still update? Thank you for answering.
If you use DFU to restore the device, the newest iOS version your device qualifies for WILL be installed.
The only way to keep the device at it's current iOS version is to reset the device under Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. This will return the device to an out-of-the-box state while keeping it's iOS version intact.
if your device NEEDS to be restored via DFU, you are unfortunately out of luck.
No matter iTunes or iCloud, it will update automatically.
