Ipad 4 update to iOS9 - Resetting itself every 2 minutes

I recently tried to update my iPad to iOS9 - unfortunately this has resulted in the iPad resetting itself every 2 minutes.

Took it to the Apple store today where they attempted a full restore, but wouldn't progress past the loading bar. Now when I turn it on I just get stuck at the "Connect to iTunes" page.

Basically, upgrading to iOS9 turned a perfectly fine iPad into a shiny paperweight. Word of caution 😟

iPad, iOS 9.0.2

Hi! Try the DFU mode:

Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds
Press the Home button while holding the Power button and hold both for 10 seconds.
Release the Power button, but KEEP HOLDING the Home button.
After about 15 seconds, iTunes will tell you it has detected a device in Recovery Mode.
Restore your device

If these steps don't work, contact Apple and ask for help.

Thanks Cohen - unfortunately this is the process we did in the Apple Store - it simply reaches a full progress bar during the restore then doesn't do anything further.

They've told me in store it's likely a hardware issue, and since it's over 12 months since purchase they're not liable. They offered me the option to buy a new iPad.

I have done the DFU for like 3 times, It doesn't work! Apple should set another update for this problem!
