Iphone 5s bricked after ios 8.02 update

Yesterday I attempted to update my iphone 5s to ios8.02. The update didn't appear that big and my wifi is currently out so I decided it should be ok doing it with 3g. The update appeared to download fine and I proceded to install. The loading bar was on for about 5 minutes at which point I left it to do stuff around the house, when I came back the phone was stuck on the black screen with the apple, I left it longer and noticed every minute or so the screen would flash blue then go back to the apple. I can't turn off the phone or restart it, I simply wait until the battery finishes. I've tried since the battery emptied but still the same situation.
Are there any fixes I can try myself as I am in Sardinia and as far as I can see there are no authorised dealers nearby.
Btw nothing unusal installed on my phone just ios 8.01

Hi Si7,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
I understand that you attempted to update your iPhone to iOS 8.0.2 but the update never finished. In this situation I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the attached article.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Cheers,
Joe

Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: all the iphones in the house receive the same phone calls ONLY while we are at home. Any ideas on how to fix this?

That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off

IPhone 3g dead after iOS 4.1 update

Hi All, like many I waited to update my iPhone 3g to update from 3.1.3 to 4.0.x.
So yesterday I did perform the update. Everything went well, iOS 4.1 was in my iPhone, but when iTunes started to sync my personal data back, the connection got lost and the iPhone rebooted itself. It kept doing that during data sync. So I restored the iPhone with new firmware, but the same problem occurred during the new firmware load.
Now it only boots in recovery mode and every time I want to recover my iPhone, it reboots you see a progress bar on the iPhone, but the iTunes comes with an error 2. There is no way the iPhone can be restored now. I tried 2 versions of iTunes 9 and 10. I try setting it in dfu mode and restore, but no luck.
I never jailbreaked my iPhone!

Hi Patrick
I have an iPhone4. I tried upgrading to os4.1. Had the exact problem like you had. I thought I bricked the phone. But I got it come back to life eventually. Here is how I did
I used a program called tiny umbrella. I clicked start TSS server then clicked kick out of dfu mode(please check wording for similar ones. I cannot remember exact name from top oft head. But it is below the start tsp server area). Then magic happened the phone reboot and starts like normal. But all my app installed was lost. Luckily all contacts emails messages were retained. That is very lucky! Hope that helps.

IPhone 4 bricked after 7.0.6 update, anyone else have this issue?

During the update to 7.0.6 the iPhone 4 failed to apply the update and booted up in restore mode. When restoring the iPhone fails during the hardware firmware write and displays an "unknown error" Error 12. It happens on multiple computers and versions OSX, including the latest version of Mavericks. Apple support walked through after everything I tried failed and proceded to tell me that the the phone is broken and must be sent in for repair at a cost of $149. So, unwilling to take responsibility for an update breaking a phone that was working perfectly before 7.0.6 update, that is how Apple's newest security patch bricked one of my phones. Beware with the install!
I was wondering if this was common with others or not? Have you had a similar issue, let me know?

Sometimes a hardware issue becomes apparent after a software update, and sometimes its pure coincidence. Most peoples updates will have gone well, forums show the small minority that dont unfortumnately. My 5s and my wifes 5c both worked fine for instance, even though thats no good for you, i'm just saying its not all phones and there is always a flurry of these incidents after software updates. Contact Apple and via the help line, if you have an extended warrranty as you say your phone is 1.5 years old. If there is an issue they will ask you to send your phone in, and an exchange can be made if you live to far from your nearest Apple shop possibly. If you are out of warranty then you can do an out of warranty replacement. As to it being a software issue, have you done a DFU mode restore? Hope it works out.

IPhone 4S bricked after iOS 5.0.1 upgrade

I just tried to upgrade my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.0.1 with iTunes and I got an error message before it could complete. Now my phone is not recognized by iTunes and the phone only shows the connect to iTunes logo. I tried rebooting the phone by holding down the lock button and home button but it just shows the Apple logo then the connect to iTunes logo.
I'm using the latest iTunes version on Windows 7 x64.
Any help would greatly be appreciated but I'm not very hopeful I'll be able to fix this myself.

The restore on my second computer worked and I was able to sync the phone with my main computer to get everything back on it.
So, for anybody that runs into the same issue here's the steps I took to fix it.
1. Install iTunes on a different computer
2. Plug in the iPhone to the secondary computer
3. Perform a factory default restore
4. Unplug the phone from the secondary computer without setting up the iPhone.
5. Plug the iPhone into the main computer
6. It should ask if you want to restore from a backup
7. Wait for the sync to finish.
Not entirely sure what went wrong to begin with but I did send off the crash report to Apple when it asked so hopefully they can fix it.
Thanks to the two responders that tried to help but luckily I had a spare computer to work with!

I have an IPhone 5S and after IOS 7.1 update, touch ID isn't working!!

I did the update of ios 7.1, and now my touch id isnt working! Even reading new prints!

Go into Calendar and click on Calendar on the bottom center of the page. That should list the calendars on your device. Down at the bottom of the list is "Other". That should display which Holiday calendar is on your device. As far as how it is selected, I cannot be sure of that, but I would tend to believe it has to do with your regional settings.
What troubleshooting have you tried on the device?

IHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.

My iHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update. Prompts message 'This accessory is not supported by iPhone'. Has anyone come accross this and is there a fix?

Ring up iHome and ask them for a fix... And if they cant supply you with a fix... Then you should be entitled to a replacement or a upgrade, as firmware upgrades on your ios device should not affect audio products......

I have a Iphone 4 and after the last software update iOS.0.4, my phone is no longer connecting to the wifi at my house.

I have a Iphone 4 and after the last software update iOS.0.4, my phone is no longer connecting to the wifi at my house.
My MacBook Air is connected and my roommates phones are also connected, but my iphone that always was connected to the same network is no longer connecting to the wifi.
The network is shown on the device but I can't join it.
Whats going on? Does someone know how to solve this issue?
Thank you!

Problem persisted after fixes were done so wife called apple today. Their fix is to turn cellular off when in the house and turn it back on when she leaves- the 4 doesn't keep the password so she has to enter the password too... This wasn't a fix ...it's just resolving the connection problem... They also said that they made ios6 have security features so nobody can hack into the wifi without having the password and it has to be entered to use the wifi. My 5 and the iPads stay on with no problems. It's just the 4. So far so good...she's had wifi all day when home. It's inconvenient but it's either completely reboot it with iTunes (which doesn't work for her) or buy a new phone and she won't do that either.
So...Apple is saying that she didn't have to do the updates either and could've stayed with the previous iOS but !!!too late now!!! We've updated because we think our phones will run better but the ios6 just made it a pita for users
I wonder if the hackers of the world are having as many issues as the peeps who are just trying to use their wifi??
