4.3.3 to 9.0.2 Ipad 2

So I was given these Ipad 2's at my work to sync up with one of the carts as an update hub for all our Ipads. I have two in 4.3.3, and one in 4.3.5.

Everytime I try to update them to 9.0.2, I get an error code 9, and then it soft bricks my Ipad into the recovery screen. I had to download itunes 10.7 to be able to un-brick it.

I have tried to update it on two different macs and a pc. I've used 4 different genuine Apple cables, and I have also tried to boot it in DFU mode. I tried the "shift+click" method to push 9.0.2 and 9.0.1 manually after downloading it to my computer, but I still get the same error. Any ideas? Anyone else dealing with this?

iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3

No problem with your iPad or system. It's Apple's issue. Hope they will notice this serious issue and fix it asap.

I have this very same problem regarding a previously owned iPad2 a friend of mine just bought : iTunes says an update is available (9.0.2) but when it tries to update the iPad, it seems to starts the upgrade process just fine (the new apple logo appears on screen with a progress bar below it) - a few seconds later - the progress bar is still empty - it reboots and iTunes says an error occurred (code 9) - I did a dozen attempts to no avail

hi.

Have you tried this:

back up content of device, put the device in restore mode then run the update via iTunes, once the ipad is back on and running as normal restore the content?

i hope this helps?

i have a couple of these iPad 2 across the country that i need to update to iOS 9.0.2 - let me know if this works?

Don't Update it. I have extensively used iOS 9 on an iPad 2 64GB. It LAGS ALOT. Animations are slow and drop frames, safari and app store constantly reload, and over all its just slow and buggy. I wish I had iOS 4.3.3/4.3.5 back and I strongly advise you DONT UPDATE

you can get the iPads back up and running on iOS 4 by using this method if your stuck in recovery mode after error9 http://jaxov.com/2010/05/recboot-iphone-recovery-mode/
