Is there any solution to this problem as i am facing the exact same issue?
I am having the same problem too. I tried to update my iPad2 to iOS 9.2 on the weekend. It appeared to work and then just hung. I ended up getting the image of the iPad charger with an arrow towards the iTunes logo. I have tried numerous times to update and even restore my iPad in iTunes, but my iPad cannot be detected by iTunes.
The iPad is totally broken. In turns I get the apple symbol or the charger and iTunes logo. Nothing else. The iOS 9.2 update has corrupted my iPad!
UPDATE: Found a post that helped me fix my iPad. I have now restored to factory settings. I've lost all my data, but at least I have an iPad that seems to be working so far. See this post: Re: iOS8 update failed on my iPad2, now stuck in recovery mode
