My iPad is stuck in recovery mode
I got it secondhand, it isn’t damaged at all but apparently it was left uncharged for a little while and now it has the recovery mode screen. I’ve tried initiating recovery and I can only get past this screen like 1 in 5 tries, but even when I get past it and it says it’s in the process of recovering it, the progress bar fills less than a tenth of the way and won’t go further even if left for hours.
is it totally bricked? Would it even be worth the trouble of taking it to a repair shop or would that be just as expensive as getting another refurbished one?
EDIT: I’ve tried flashing it with 3utools, and I’ve tried directly downloading the IOS to recover it in Itunes, but both end up getting stuck eventually. Recovery gets stuck at 90% and flashing gets to about 20, when it starts unmounting the filesystem, but it’ll stay this way for hours. It also doesn’t seem to want to stay in DFU mode long enough to recover anything, it boots out of it and then tries to recover normally which it can’t
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Try restore in DFU mode, or use third party software like 3uTools instead of iTunes.

I've tried it with DFU to the same results, and I've tried flashing it with 3uTools but it seems to get stuck around 20% while unmounting the filesystem? I don't know if it just takes a particularly long time but I've left it like this for quite a while with no progress. It just seems to be in a recovery loop where now it doesn't say to connect the device to Itunes it just immediately goes into the progress bar of recovering but gets stuck when it's at about 90%
