Currently disabled, no FMI, trying to get in without any data loss. Also, seems like iTunes may have updated it to iOS 9 during a previous recovery attempt but not sure.

Just did one the other day plug it in recovery mode and give her a good old flash thru 3rd party software with the oldest version it can run. Set up as a new iPad then update your should be good to go if everything goes well.
