iOS 4.3.5 error 9 when updating to 9.0.2

Hi All,

can´t find any iPad2,2_9.3_13E5181d_Restore.ipsw download link. 😟

Please help.

Greetings

I also happen to encounter that problem too, all I just do was restart my ipad2 GSM and plug it again update. that solved my problem about error 27

Just Google it, you will see a download link in Reddit post/comments j, I think its ghost something that has the link of DL sites

Found it. Thank you!

Okay, still getting Error 27, here is what i'm doing,

1. Open latest version of iTunes on Mac.

2. Plug in iPad

3. Select the ipsw to update from

4. Wait about a minute or so

5. Error 27

6. Restart ipad via 3rd party software and now back to beginning.

I've tried it again after restarting it through the software and tried turning it off and back on again.

OMG it finally got past error 27 !!!

I have had the update to 9.3.1 fail so many time I was ready to give up.

Did all the same as before but rather than shift-clicking on update, I shift-clicked on restore. Selected the same ipsw file and it did not give an Error 27.

Restore completed and I'm now running 9.3.1. Yeah, kinda slow. May see if I can back up to 9.2

Had I not figured it out earlier today, this would have worked for me. I was hitting "update", not "restore". After updating to 9.3 I got the Ipsw for 9.2 and that's where I currently stand. 9.2 is a little slow, but it's totally bareable. My iPad now is 100 times more useful! Thanks and goodluck guys!

Thanks so much for all the help everyone - I almost got stuck waiting on Apple to get into the developer program! &I was derping and did the same thing at first, haha. Anyhow, I updated and at long last, am up to speed with the current update! Now to see how it runs. 🙂 At least I can get current applications now & sign into my email addresses; I'm glad Apple included a way of updating.

Hi makhonkit,

Have you tried updating to the Beta? This should work. Here is the link:

Hope this helps,

This helped me. Thanks a lot of the information.

I have ipad 2 GSM with iOS 4.3.5. I tried every **** recommendation to upgrade or restore to 9.2 and could never succeed.

I tried upgrading to iOS 9.3 Beta (iPad2,2_9.3_13E5181d_Restore) but no luck.

Then i tried restore with iOS 9.3.3 (iPad2,2_9.3_13E5181d_Restore) and it worked !!!

This helped me too. Thanks a lot.

I also have an iPad 2 that I can't restore, I went to Apple Store, they told me the Motherboard was faulty, then with a third party software, I was able to restart it and reach the settings, my version is 4.3.5...

So I do not trust Apple anymore has they clearly want me to buy a new device, saying that the iPad is faulty.... which is wrong.

They just make the upgrade impossible for some devices, maybe it was announced in your 13821 pages of term and conditions, that I agreed..... No I can't agreed with your method anymore.... bye Apple

A friend of me brought me an IPAD 2 with firmware 4.3.5. It was sitting in a drawer and he decided to use it now. He told me that he plugged it into the computer, iTunes suggested an update to 9.2 and then it showed error 9 and the screen went black. He tried to restore it with the home + sleep key but to no avail. It took me 2 hours to fix it so if someone has the same problem here are the steps:

1. Download and install the trial version of Wondershare Dr. Fone for iOS. Start it and follow instructions, then click Recover from iOS Device. That will restore it to previous firmware - in my case 4.3.5.

2. Google iPad2,2_9.3_13E5181d_Restore - there are links in Reddit, download the file.

3. Start iTunes, hold alt while clicking Restore, choose the iPad2,2_9.3_13E5181d_Restore.ipsw file and wait until it updates.

Now you have an usable iPAD with 9.3.1 beta version. If you want you can downgrade to 9.2 version. Hopefully Apple will soon release 9.3.1 so update becomes much simpler via iTunes.

This worked! Thank you so much for your post.
