Q: iOS 4.3.5 error 9 when updating to 9.0.2

There also is 9.1 beta

MichaelTechMaster,

Thanks for letting me know about 9.1 beta.

I'm not sure if Apple is aware of this issue. So, I'm not sure if is is worth while to try 9.1 beta.

I will wait until I see the release note.

Guys!
I had the same problem until yesterday.

I was trying update ipad 2 from 4.3.5 to 9.0.2. My iPad hung up on an apple logo (error 9).

After 2 sleepless nights I found this: http://www.tenorshare.com/products/reiboot.html

Just install and clik "exit recovery mode". I still can't upgrade to 9.0.2 but at least iPad is working

I have same problem, and my version is even older 4.3.3, .  Hope Apple can provide a solution soon, since a lots of apps cannot be used due to such old version.

So why would you possibly let over twenty iOS updates pass by over a period of five years or more before deciding maybe it's time to update?

It just used by my son to play some games, sometimes surfed online probably.   Recently, he gave to me, and I want to use it to watch video, and found the apps cannot be used due to the version is too old.

Thanks for the information,

I'm having the same issue.

iPad 2, 4.3.5 to IOS 9, Error 9.

Apple - This is a bug guys. Can you please take a look?

Same problem here. Upgrading an iPad 2 (4.3.5) to iOS 9. I've tried everything I could find on google in order to solve this issue with no success. I event tried update the system using libimobiledevice / idevicerestore with no success. Here is the log if it help some Apple techie to look deeper into the problem:

When it reaches this step, the devices reboots and the script stops.
I believe some of the errors reported above are the reason to the error (9) occurence on iTunes.

No Apple technician or engineer will see this. Either send it through feedback or call AppleCare and arrange to send it through them.

I had hoped that iOS 9.1 or iTunes 12.3 would take care of the problem.

But, wishful thinking.

Well, I guess I have to wait for the next version then.

Hello,

It's not possible to move from 4.3.3(4 or 5) to 9.02.

To update to 9.0.2, first you have to update to 4.3.5 after this to 5.0 or 5.1.1. When 5.1.1 is ready go to the ipad settings -> general -> software update.

Then apple will invite to update to 8.0 after update 8.0 you will able to update to 9 ios.

The problems is that itune doesn't work with old version of ios and if you try to update with itune to ios 5.0 you will se error 3002 or 3xxx.

Here show how can update to 4.3.X to 5.1.1

<Edited by Host>

Thanks for the information.

I tried to follow your instruction.

But, in my case, there is no available blobs for my ECID. So, I cannot upgrade to 4.3.5.

Do you have any suggestion?

Any help will be appreciated.

Seriously! This is annoying! Why can't Apple fix this!? I'm having the same issue. I've tried everything. This is a great paper weight.

I downloaded the old iTunes, I tried to trick the iPad it was 2011,.... I don't know what else to do.

Having the same problem, tried old ipsw files and tried iTunes 10.1 on an old machine with the latest ipsw. Only the latest ipsw and current version of itunes will check out with the iTunes servers. Looks like we just wait and hope Apple fixes this.
