IPhone DEAD after 2.0.2 update!

I updated and iTunes said the update failed due to an unknown error after backing up the iPhone. The phone, still connected, had the apple logo. I disconnected and still nothing but a logo. After several minutes I performed a reset by holding down power/home buttons. After reboot I got the picture on the phone to connect to iTunes or slide for an emergency call. I connected to iTunes and got a message saying "The iPhone "Todd's iPhone" cannot be used with iTunes because information required for activation could not be obtained from the iPhone. Check that the SIM card is inserted in your phone and that it is not PIN-locked". Now my iPhone is completely dead with now way to start over. Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!

Hey Todd,
Was the iPhone in Airplane Mode when you started the restore?
Can the iPhone still make emergency calls? Try to make a call & disable Airplane Mode.
After Airplane Mode is off, try restoring the iPhone again.
If that does not work, try to reseat the SIM and restore the iPhone.

    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......

    Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

  • KT6V 7021 - OnBoard NIC "dead" after BIOS 2.00 update ... any thoughts?

    Hi!
    Just flashed KT6V BIOS 2.00 and now my onboard nic suddenly stopped working.
    The network adapter gets recognized by Windows as usual, but although I do get a dhcp lease from my server I'm unable to connect to any share on it. It's also impossible to surf the web or to simply ping any local/remote host. If I try to connect to the system from any other workstation on the lan it doesn't work either.
    The network status only shows a great amount of sent packages - caused by AVAST! as it tries to look for an update on boot - but only "0" received.
    I flashed the BIOS from the emergency diskette and did a CMOS clear (Jumper) afterwards. And yes, I did disconnect my PSU from the wall socket.
    Since I need network access to the system I tried stepping back to BIOS 1.90 but with no avail - the onboard nic doesn't receive a single paket after it has got it's dhcp lease.
    Any clue what might be wrong and how I'm able to get my nic back to work?
    Thank you in advance for any useful help.

    Hi Fredrik.

    So if you were to downgrade BIOS problems would go away, right?
    I have already downgraded to BIOS 1.90 and the problem stayed the same - the onboard nic is still dead beef.
    Quote
    When clearing CMOS there can be no el. left in your system, so unplug power cable etc.
    As mentioned in my first post I _have_ unplugged the power cord from the wall socket.
    Quote
    If the new BIOS would affect NIC card... Hm, it is hard to see quite how.
    I can't think of any reason either, however, the nic went dead after updating to BIOS v2.00. I assume that there must be some kind of "network code" inside the bios which has to do with the onboard nic - otherwise I'm unable to explain why the MAC address suddenly changed to "11:22:33:44:55:66". If I would only have a clue on how to access and/or flash the nic ... ???
    Quote
    Is there any error marks for the nic in say Device Manager, if you get that far?
    Nope, there is no question or exclamation mark on the network card in the device manager. Windows thinks the card is working, but in reality it isn't. As already stated: No traffic from/to the network.

  • IPhone 4 Dead after i0S 4.3 update went wrong.

    So after finally getting round to downloading and installing 4.3 (haven't updated the iOS at all since getting it last July) I find out I can't download more than 80% or so of the update without the connection "timing out". Note, no other problems downloading large files using the same connection.
    I then downloaded the iOS from a different source (macworld) and the update seems to run smootly until it gets to the "verifying your update with Apple" point at which I get a  "the update could not be completed error 3194 message"
    Getting pretty annoyed at this point and decide to go for a hard reset and restore after saving all my purchases to see if that makes a difference (by holding the home and power keys for 10 secs then letting go of the power key) and the iPhone's screen turns black.
    It's completely dead now and I can't use it at all.
    If I try to restore the phone I am in the same situation as before as iTunes will only allow me to restore if I download and install the latest iOS. I can't download it via iTunes, and I can't install it if I get it elsewhere.
    Any ideas?

    Disabling firewall software during the update is what the regulars on this forum recommend when having problems accessing Apple's servers. And it does sound like you do.

  • 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.

  • My i phone 4 is dead after i tried to update the operating system to io6 through the phone while it is connected to WI FI, Please advise, i have no Back up

    Hello
    I had IOS5.1.1 on my iphone 4.
    i connect my phone to WI FI to upgrade to IOS 6.
    while downloading the 599 Mb, i notice that battery is 39%
    i connect the phone to USB charger connected to PC, and it shows that charge going on.
    after downloading the 599 MBs, it started the long restart.
    after, it start the short restart, then (Please connect to I tunes) appears on the screen.
    this was strang message, since i did the same upgrade to other devices, and it shouldn't ask for this.
    i thought may be because the device is connected to Pc, so, i um plug it from the Pc, but it keeps asking to connect to i Tunes.
    i switch it off, and on, and again it asked to connect the iphone to I Tunes.
    i open the I tunes and connect the phone to the PC.
    then i got this message on i tunes: Error happened, please click Ok to restore.
    I clicked Ok and it took me to this link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    and i do not know what to do, i did restart PC, and reconnect, but nothing new.
    the Iphone just showing the APPLE sign only since that time.
    friend adviced to wait untill the battery is empty and them charge the device.
    i did, but still the same.
    all what i care about are my pictures, i had no back up, and it is my honeymoon photos.
    could any one help ????!!!!!
    the device now is just showing apple sign, even when it is connected to I Tunes, it dosent appear.

  • NO SERVICE ON iPhone 5 AFTER 7.1.1 UPDATE - (showing all the steps I made just to try and bring the signal of my carrier back) HELP!

    Hi there, I did an iOS update for my iPhone 5 model: MD300ZP/A (FACTORY UNLOCKED)
    After the update through iTunes. I restored my phone from the back up. I noticed that the signal bars for my carrier (Globe Telecom - Philippines) we're abnormally low. I tried calling my wife and it didn't push through. Tried a text message and it did not send. I had 2 bars of signal in a place where I normally have full coverage. My LTE and 3G works though.
    After this I decided to;
    1. Reset the network settings and nothing happened. Still no signal.
    2. Put into airplane mode - waited 5-10 secs and turned off airplane mode. Still no signal.
    3. Turned off 3G/LTE - waited a few secs. - Still no signal. - Turned it on again. Still no signal.
    4. Did another full restore and update. Still no signal.
    5. Another full restore and update to new iPhone (not restoring from my back up). Still no signal.
    6. Put the iPhone on recovery mode - Plugged into to itunes. Made a restore from back up. Still no Signal.
    7. Did No. 6 again and DID NOT restore from back up and set up as new iPhone. Still no signal.
    8. Did another recovery mode and then restore. Ejected the phone and restored from iCloud. Still no signal.
    9. Did another recovery mode and then restore. Ejected the phone and set up as new iPhone. GOT A SIGNAL! But still did not let me push through calls and text messages. Then the signal went away.
    In between these steps I would get a "Update Carrier settings" window. I would see that and then click update then observe the phone. Nothing happens. Still no signal.
    In between those steps again I would choose not to "Update the Carrier settings" and then the iPhone would carry a signal and then I will try to call but nothing happens once again.
    10. I tried putting in other carrier sims and ONE worked - (Smart Telecom - Philippines) the other did not (SUN - Philippines).
    11. Tried putting in my wifes sim (same as what didn't work for me) (GLOBE - Philippines) Still did NOT WORK.
    12. Tried putting the sim that doesn't work on my updated phone to my wifes iPhone 5 which was still on 7.1 ONLY - AND IT WORKED.
    13. Called my carrier and still nothing they have told me has helped.
    now my iPhone is stuck on no service when I input the carrier sim that I have been using on it for a year now. Never jailbroken nor unlocked by a 3rd party software.
    Anything I missed???
    HELP APPLE HELP!!

    hello...
    I am having the same issue here... just upgraded my 5s to 7.1.1 (never jailbroken - factory unlocked) and then boom... NO Service!!! Searching ... that's it. currently using Smart Telecom Sim... at first it was working for me... after 6-7 hours, it started the No Service issue. I cannot send a text or make a call...
    I did the steps you have taken but it is still not working... any updates on your end?

  • Music player bug on iPhone 5 after iOS7.1.1 update

    Good day everyone,
    There are over 30,000 discussions here so i would like to post this report. after i updated my iphone5 to ios 7.1.1 i have been experiencing a bug with the music player. the bug is when i started to play a playlist and tried to select other song within the playlist while a music is running, my action give a next command instead of playing the music that i selected.
    i hope for your quick resolution.
    thank you..

    I think all you need to do is Reset your iPhone (press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release).  My iPhone 5 on 7.1.1 does not do this, so it is not an iOS bug, just a quirk in your particular installation.  Worse case, you may need to do a Restore of the iPhone, but try Reset first.

  • Unable to sync iPhone 6 after iOS 8.1 update

    I recently updated my MaBook Air to OS X Yosemite and replaced my iPhone 4 with an iPhone 6. I backed up the old 4 and restored it onto the iPhone 6 no problem. Everything was working fine, no issues. A day or so later, iTunes prompted me to update to iOS 8.1 (from 8.02 which was on the phone when I bought it last week). After updating (again no issues), I find that the Health App no longer works (all previous data entries had gone, and when I come to add new data, it just freezes). Also, when I come to sync the phone with iTunes, I get to 6 of 7 steps and then it fails with error code 1723 unknown error. Becoming very annoying now, this has happened several times in the last few days...... grateful for any suggestions before I completely wipe the phone and have to start from scratch again....
    Thanks,
    Ian

    I have the same problem... My device is overheating and my batteries dies after half of day!
    Before everything was ok!
