I have an old iPad 2 (2,1) with iOS 4.3.5 which won't upgrade.
It will go through the motions but then fail with an error 9 or an error 3014 if trying to update to 9.2.
Any other manually downloaded iOS's fail with a error "device isn't eligible".
Also tried older versions if iTunes with no joy.
Most of the time the iPad will go into the endless recovery loop, but I found a 3rd party tool to get it out of that and come back to a basic iPad with iOS4.
Can anyone help we get this iPad updated to something newer?

It almost feels like it's being blocked by Apple's verification servers or something. Does anyone know if it is still possible to update a device with such an old iOS?
Method 2: Wait for few hours or even several days and then download the newest iOS version again.
Method 3: Try updating via iTunes on computer.
Method 4: For advanced users: try upgrading with IPSW File.
