How to get from recovery to DFU mode ?

My iPad Air 4 got updated to iPadOS 15.6.1 and the following problem began after that.

  1. After the update got completed, the iPad got stuck in recovery mode. I mean the mode where there is a logo of a computer appearing on the screen with the link support.apple.com/ipad/restore written on top.

  2. Once I saw this, I connected the device to my computer and then opened up iTunes. Then on iTunes there came the option of restore and update and clicked on the same. The latest version of software got downloaded and the restoration process was done. I mean the process where we get the Apple logo to appear on the screen along with the white progress bar.

  3. After all this was done, I expected that the issue will be solved, but once again the recovery page started to appear on the iPad. So, I connected to the computer again and did the same procedure as in step (2). But the problem still persists.

  4. Now, whenever I do connect my iPad to the laptop the recovery page appears and whenever I disconnect the Apple logo starts to appear and disappear every 3 seconds.

I am not sure what mode I am in. I tried the trick to get into the DFU mode. But the thing is, whenever I connect my iPad to a laptop, the recovery mode is initiated and the trick to get into DFU does not work from there. So, what might be the issue ? I think this has got something to do with the version of iPadOS, but I am not sure how to fix it. I was thinking that if I could get into the DFU mode, then maybe I might be able to solve the issue. But, I am not sure how to get into the DFU mode when the recovery mode is already appearing on the screen.

Kindly help me with this.

Thank You!
