Edit: I just connected it to power and the blinking Apple logo came back. I'll wait a little now and try to but it again in recovery mode. Maybe the problem was just a too empty battery.
Hey,
I would be happy if anyone can help me.
My brother gave me his old cellular iPad 1 (Model A1337 - EMC 2328) with 64 GB.
It was stuck at the Apple logo and I couldn't do anything with it.
At first I put in in recovery mode and saw the connect to iTunes screen, what disappeared before I connected it to my Mac (macOS Sierra 10.12 16A294a + iTunes 12.5.0.68, both the latest version) and I did not manage to get it back.
Then I put it in DFU mode with just a black screen. Now iTunes reconized it and the download/installation of iOS 5.1.1 started but ended with an unknown error 1602. I tried it a second time and the same happened.
After that I tried it with an IPSW file of iOS 5.1.1 what I downloaded myself and got the same error.
What could be the reason?
I just tried to leave the DFU mode again and get back to recovery mode but it does not work, the screen stays black. I tried holding the sleep/wake and home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds and also holding sleep/wake for 5 seconds, then home in addition for 10 seconds, release sleep/wake and keep holding home. Both ways several times.
Sometimes the screen lit up for less than a second while trying to restore and while trying to leave DFU mode.
Here are a few screen shots. At first try i saw the version number 5.1.1 (maximum and only signed version for iPad 1) somewhere but now not anymore.
