Mar 25, 2016 2:45 AM in response to GrundiG777by bobseufert,Go for it. Hopefully you made a backup. The reason I said not to was because I didn't want you to brick your iPad. Since it is bricked already dfu seems to be the way to go.

Mar 25, 2016 3:06 AM in response to bobseufertby GrundiG777,Thank you. Backup no. icloud does not see my notes, itunes does not work, and the information needed, so I'll wait with you an alternative way to or more successful blog.

Mar 25, 2016 8:12 AM in response to bobseufertby Ronlys,I just solved my iBrick2 and I wrote the steps on this link:
iPad2 - After the updated iOS 9.3 Build 13E236
(don't worry about your data, it will be safe as before)
- Turn off the iPad
- Hold power and home together for 10 seconds until it shuts down.
- open iTune on your computer, press and hold "Home" on your iPad and connect your iPad to your computer.
- after white apple shows up on your iPad, iTunes would ask if you would like to "restore" or "update" your iPad.(Now your iPad screen will look like this:
) - choose "update", and it will update soon.
- the progress will be a white apple on your iPad screen(actually it stuck about 20 minutes and the progress bar finally moved....)
- after progress finished, stay for a while with the white apple, then it will tell you "slide to update".
- slide and continue update.(Now the progress will be a black apple, and when the update finished, the screen will turn black)
- after update, plug out your usb to disconnect your iPad with your computer
- iPad will tell you connect to iTunes to active your device.
- Reconnect your iPad to your computer, and it will be active.
- enter you password on your iPad and enjoy it.

Mar 25, 2016 8:28 AM in response to bobseufertby elcpu,The new build seems to be for the iPad 2 only. My wife's iPhone 5 still shows "up to date" with 9.2.1.
See the Update at the bottom of this article.
http://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/24/apple-pulls-ios-9-3-older-devices/
Update: Apple has released a new build of iOS 9.3 for the iPad 2 and may be planning to roll out updates for additional devices. Apple has not yet resumed signing iOS 9.3 for affected devices.

I'm hoping. I saw a number of friends insulted the last couple of days because they didn't have a magic fix. We deserve better.
You can say that again!!!!

Mar 25, 2016 12:02 PM in response to GrundiG777by ChitlinsCC,Good to hear.
As I cannot "experience" the fix for myself, could you tell us the details of what you actually did, and at what time?

Mar 25, 2016 12:06 PM in response to ChitlinsCCby elcpu,Good question... Some users like GrundiG777 are having success with the new iPad 2 build but others on the iPad forum continue to report problems.

Mar 25, 2016 12:59 PM in response to ChitlinsCCby GrundiG777,I did so:
1. Included iPad I connected to my PC USB,with the latest version of iTunes
2. Turn off the iPad
3. Press and hold "Home" on iPad and "Power On" - 10 seconds! Releasing the "Power", hold "HOME" some 5 seconds - you hear the sound. Releasing HOME.
4. iTunes would ask you - "restore" or "update" your iPad. Click UPDATE!
5. Wait several stages of loading and do nothing. 30 minutes or more!!!
6. iPad is rebooting and disconnect iTunes. Pull out the USB cable and reinsert it. Activate in iTunes. (Apple ID and password has been entered in iTunes)
That all. Try
