Ios 8.0.1 bricked my iPhone 6 plus

Can anyone help me out fixing this? I tried downloading is ipsw for 8.0.2 which gets stuck as well a few minutes into the install and its been hours.

Your posts are all time tagged today ... the current version of iOS is 8.1. iOS 8.0.1 has been obsolete for over a week.
Plug your iPhone into iTunes. Choose "Check for Update". Or do Settings > General > Software Update from your iPhone. Either method should get you iOS 8.1.

IOS 5.1.1 bricked my iPhone 4

I recently tried updating my "never jailbroken" iPhone to iOS 5.1.1 and it went into recovery mode. Nothing that myself or the Apple Geniuses could do to get it to update or restore. No problem with the Hardware as per the Apple Genius just software. Due to the phone being Out Of Warranty but less than a year old I have to pay for a replacement.
2 calls to the Apple store Rideau to talk to a manager and no call back after 6 days. Customer service at its finest.
I am not very impressed with Apple due to the fact that is was an official software update that bricked my iPhone and not a hardware or user error.
Has anyone else had this issue and if so have you done anything special to have Apple cover the replacement cost.

Something doesn't add up. The iPhone comes with a 1 year warranty from the original purchase date.
Unless you are not the original owner or if there is user damage.
Where did you get this phone from?

Imessage crashes when trying to add a picture in ios 8.0.2 on my iphone 6 plus

I am using IOS 8.0.2 and i have an iphone 6 plus. I've noticed that after the IOS 8.0.2 update... when i go into my messages application and try to add a photo... it was crash. The whole messages app will crash. I've tried rebooting and nothing helps.
thanks so much!

Hi danmikhail89,
I would like to recommend that you back up then restore your software on the phone in order to address this issue and see if the issue persists. The following article can help you with this:
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If the issue persists, you may want to perform further troubleshooting by restoring the phone, then setting up the phone as new to see if the issue persists without your backup data:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

IOS 8.3 is draining my iPhone 6 Plus battery life. how to downgrade to iOS 8.2?

I never changed my mobile phone using habits. All that changed recently is my iPhone 6 Plus getting an iOS 8.3 update. I noticed my battery life draining quicker than the usual. It used to still have enough juice to last me until midnight, now by lunch time i am already at 63%!
Anyone experiencing this?
Know the proper legitimate way to downgrade from iOS 8.3 to 8.2? Prefer to have longer battery life than have this updated 8.3 in my phone. I don't feel the benefits of the upgrade to begin with.

The rate of battery loss is still slowly accelerating. At this rate I expect less than 8 hours usage time.
I wrote a review of my new iPhone 6 Plus here and brought up the issue:

If anybody has any ideas, or comparative battery life results, please let me know.
Thanks,

IOS 5.1 update bricked my iPhone

I have a 3GS that I tried to update to iOS 5.1 and like the thread title says, it completely bricked the phone. I left it to update and came back an hour later and it said it had failed to restore. Now it's stuck at the infamous USB cable -> iTunes screen. The phone won't connect to iTunes at all. You can hear windows recognize a new USB device, but iTunes never does. I've tried all the solutions I've found on the net so far for entering/exiting recovery mode with no success(holding down the home button and connecting to itunes, holding power and home for 20 seconds then releasing the power button and bolding home for another 5 seconds, etc). I can't even power down the phone. If you hold the power button, it never even brings up the power down slider, so it makes it hard to even test the solutions I've found. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I took it to cell phone repair shop and they were able to fix it by re-flashing the firmware. I lost everything on the phone,
Along with the warranty. "Flashing" the firmware - i.e. hacking it - other than by standard restore methods usually results in an iOS - modem baseband version mismatch.

Safari crashes on ios 8.02 and iphone 6 plus

Today is September 28, 2014. I downloaded iOS 8.02 on my new iphone 6 plus on Sept 25. All was working fin until this morning. Nothing unusual added or deleted.
When I attempt to open Safari, it tries to open but then crashes. I have powered off 2x, without success on restart. Any suggestions?

Hi frankallegro,
If the issue you are describing is only occuring in Safari, you may want to try resetting the Safari data, as described in the following article:
Safari web settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

IPhone 6 Plus: Crashes, Crashes, CRASHES!!!!!

I have been a very satisfied iPhone 4 and 5 user, while I am now astonished how Apple impaired the smooth IOS experience with iPhone 6 Plus, which I got the first day of its availability.
I don't want to talk about the UI not being anymore as perfectly smooth as it used to be, or the absolutely unintelligent choice of 1 GB or RAM in such an expensive device, which causes frustrating re-initialization of the contents in applications, yet what I want to address here is how frustrating has become Safari, which crashes so many times to be considered unreliable.
I want Apple to quickly solve these problems through a software update, or I can't imagine myself keep wasting my precious time in front of a device that keeps crashing and force me to wait for it to reload contents inside the internet browser.

I've installed iOS 8.1.1 on my iPhone 6 Plus 128GB and it has NOT cured this problem. Had previously found by trial and error that it seems definitely to be an issue with the number of apps installed rather than the amount of memory used - or its a combination of the number of apps and the overall memory used for their storage.
Can install up to about 940 apps with the phone still staying reasonably stable. I had also after this added about 30GB of music and still no problem after several days. So then added about 3GB of podcasts and still no problem.
So yesterday, upgraded to 8.1.1 and after backing up (probably a waste of time), the phone has again been mostly trouble free today. So added about 20 apps later today and the crashes and self reboots started all over again...
Seems to me it's certain Apple know about this problem but either can't or won't fix it. I raised the issue through Apples online chat (BEFORE 8.1.1 became available) telling them about my experience only to be told they wanted me to speak to one of their senior advisors. The senior advisor joined the chat only to immediately wipe (for me at least) the previous on screen conversation. The chat then went dead - so I had to start a new session (because they wanted no evidence of my chat that I could screen snap?). On the new chat, I was asked if I would mind the senior advisor phoning me.
Agreed to this and he rang me about 25 mins later. One of the first things I asked, was had he heard of the issue. He claimed he hadn't (first lie). I explained to him what I'd tried and how the problem seemed to be related to the number of apps installed. He made no comment except to suggest that I try again to reinstall all my apps one at a time and not restore from a backup.
This annoyed me because all he was suggesting was something I'd told him I'd already tried several times. After some heated discussion that got around again to me trying to get him to admit he knew or Apple must know about this problem, he then claimed Apple had never heard of the problem either (lie 2)!
So, I asked him, how did he go from telling me that he had never heard of the problem, to then telling me that Apple had never heard of the problem - weren't the two positions contradictory? His reply to this was to claim that he knew everything that Apple knew.
I then became very angry and we then spent the next couple of minutes trying to shout each other down before I gave up and put the phone down. He did not ring back.
All this suggests to me that Apples senior advisors have been told to deny their knowledge of this problem - lie in other words. And I say lie because of what others have said in this post about their experiences. Although I have thought of repeating the process (chat followed by phone call) to see if I get the same denial from another advisor.
So what to do? Following choices I'm considering -
1. Like others have said, adapt to the issue and restrict no of apps installed
2. Try and cancel contract on phone and return it - suspect this could be difficult
3. Try and swap the phone - although this sounds likely to be a waste of time
4. Consider legal action against Apple - suspect again this would be very difficult
I've been an Apple iPhone and iPad user for several years now but am very seriously considering moving over to Android. It isn't just this iPhone issue either. For years iTunes and its so called backups have been hopelessly unreliable and I've had enough.
But is Android any more reliable than Apple? So many more different phones and a less secure OS suggests it probably isn't!

IOS 5.1 update bricked my wife's iPhone 4S. Updated my iPhone 4 first without incident, but when I went to update her phone, the update wiped her phone clean and is stuck in the restore/update mode. Her phone is now useless. Updated to latest itunes.

iOS 5.1 also bricked her iPod Touch, despite my having no problem updating mine.

I thought that I had bricked my phone as well when I upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 5.1 but I just fixed it last night after 3 hours of trying everything. My phone was stuck in recovery mode and had the icon telling me to plug it into iTunes, but iTunes didn't recognize my phone at all. I tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but still nothing worked. I tried changing the USB port that I plugged my iPhone into and THAT is what worked. I have no idea why, but my computer finally recognized my phone, but had to be restored. Luckily I had a very recent backup so restoring it wasn't so painful.
Try changing the USB port where you plug in your phone on your computer; hopefully that works for you!

IOS 8 update via OTA bricked my iPhone 4s. Error 2006

iOS 8 update via OTA bricked my iPhone 4s. Error 2006
Done a update on my iPhone 4s 64GB phone. done it over the air then comes up in recovery mode. so plugged in iTunes (most up today on a macbook pro) downloaded IOS8 again then when i do a restore it comes up with the error message "The iPhone "IPhone" could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (2006)
Computer: macbook pro 15" mid 2012
2nd computer: just been rebuild with windows 7 on it all up today and latest iTunes,
Cable: 3nd Party
Cable: Apples down brand only 2 days old as bought this one for in the office, (and seems to work with backing up my iPhone on to my macbook pro)
also restarted the machines and checked again for any updates nothing els plugged in to any of the laptops and it makes no change still get the same error message.
anyone have any clue what is going on.
also i have never called my iPhone "iPhone" (from the error message) must of been a bad install of ios8 (OTA) to bring that name up.

My Iphone 5 got stuck right after I installed iOS8 also. Mine would not let me past the Hello page. I had an iCloud backup, so this is what I did.
Downloaded iOS 7.1.2 to my computer. http://www.iclarified.com/750/where-to-download-iphone-firmware-files-from
Restored My iPhone using iTunes.
-Launch iTunes
-Plug phone into computer and hold down the sleep button and wake button on your phone until it shows iTunes restore
-Hold Shift in windows 7 while you click restore in iTunes
This will erase everything on your phone and install a fresh version of 7.1.2
I had an icloud backup so I applied that to get all my files and settings back. (you can not apply a backup from iOS7 onto iOS8 so that is why I did everything above)
I then tried to install the iOS8 update from iTunes instead of over the air. No luck there either.
I guess I will stick with iOS7 untill the next build.
I hope this helps. Remember if you do not have a backup that includes all your pictures and such don't do this Because all will be lost.
Has anyone else got iOS8 installed just to get stuck on the Hello page?

IOS 7 update bricked my iPhone

As the title says, the latest update completely bricked my iPhone 4. The phone was working perfectly fine before the update.
I payed 700$ for this phone so the question is how do I get Apple to fix this? I checked the site and it's seriously asking me to "purchase" support for this phone. Sorry, I'm not paying for apple to fix their products they broke with their own update.

Here's a list of other people who have had a similar/identical problem just in a 2 minute search of apple's own forums.

Hi there,
I've just installed ios 7.0.6 on my iphone 4 and now lost voice on outgoing and incoming calls.It rings on incoming and I'm told rings on the recipient's 'phone, but then no vocal communication...its just dead. My simm is ok, i've checked it, I've done a full clean and restore of the 'phone. Still no calls.
I've not caused any physical or water damage to the 'phone. I would welcome any help/suggestions to get my calls back asap.
Please help.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

Ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s + very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

Welcome, sorry to hear your news, there are numerous threads on this issue. Try the trouble shooting on the other threads, I do not recommend sticking it in the freezer or heating with a hair dryer though,
If it's within warranty and trouble shooting doesn't work, get it. Ack to apple ASAP and get it replaced.
Many others are in the same position, who also have a 4s
Good luck

After recently downgrading back to iOS 6.1.4 on my iPhone 5, I am trying to get back my apps but every time I go into the App Store it only shows the option "Open" for the apps that I had previously. The apps don't appear in my home screen. HELP

After recently downgrading from iOS 7 back to iOS 6.1.4 on my iPhone whenever I go into the App Store to redownload my apps it only gives me the option "open" but I don't have the apps, therefore I don't HAve the app to open. Please help

How can u downgrade. Apple doesn't allow that. Unless your iPhone 5 is jail broken. iOS 7 isn't even out yet. There Is no way u can get iOS 7 unless it was beta. And if so beta is having some issues.

TS3694 I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.
