My phone is frozen during the ios 7.1.2 update. What should I do?

I tried updating my phone to the new 7.1.2. It has been hours now, and has not progressed in the update. It will not shut off either. What should I do?

Hi cgravseth,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you were updating your iPhone and now it is completely unresponsive. The following article has some great information for troubleshooting this situation. Numbers 1 and 2 are irrelevant or you have already tried with no success. Start with number 3 and try to reset the iPhone. If that doesn’t work move down to steps 5 and 6.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Please feel free to let me know if you need further assistance.
Have a great day,
-Joe

  • HT201210 My iphone 4 is frozen during the iOS 6 installation.

    It has been frozen showing the apple and a half-complete bar for 4 hours now.  What should I do?

    Fixed!
    [BTW... I was doing my update wirelessly without using iTunes or plugging my phone into the computer.]
    I was scared to touch any buttons while it was in the middle of a OS update.  I talked to Apple support, and they had me try the following:
    1.  Hold the power button to see if it went away.  [It did not go away, so they went to option 2.]
    2.  Plug the phone into my computer with iTunes open.  [I could not do this b/c I'm in the middle of downloading the iTunes update.  So, they had me to to option 3.]
    3.  Hold power button and homescreen button until the frozen screen goes away and the reboot screen with just the apple shows... just like when you reboot your phone for any other reason.
    The last one worked. It ended up going back to the apple with the progress bar, and the install went all the way.  It was a bit slow to load the last 1/4, but it worked.  Then, the phone went back to just the apple reboot screen.  I was concerned because it sat there a couple minutes, but then the iOS 6 configuration screen appeared.
    Now we shall see how the rest of this goes.....

  • Some water it fell to the hole where I can put my air plugs or air phones? And now the sound its not working. What should I do?

    What should I do when water fell on the hole where my air plugs goes and where I can hear some music?

    Best to take the iPhone to the Apple genius bar and have them ckeck it out...see if it can be cleaned and restored or needs replacement.  Water and electronics do not play well together.

  • HT6058 During the installation of the ios 7.0.4 update my screen froze with the iTunes icon and arrow under that and a picture of the usb plug under that.  Thanks for messing up my perfectly well functioning IPad 2 with your lousy update!  What now?

    During the ios 7.0.4 update, my IPad 2 froze.  The picture on the screen is an iTunes icon, and arrow inder that and a picture of the apple usb cord.  It will not go away.  I have tried hard and soft turn offs.  Please help!

    Philly:
      When there is an iOS update available, iTunes asks if you want to install it. I chose to only download the iOS 7.0.6 update, but not to install it until I had done a backup of everything on my iPad. When that iOS 7.0.6 update failed, I had NO iOS at all, just a bricked iPad.
    When my son did a "clean restore" that was the same thing you'd do to wipe an iPad - just install iOS 7.0.6 and install basic iPad apps.  When you turn the iPad on after that, it indicates it wants to be connected to iTunes. At that point, my son yanked the cord so nothing else was installed.  Then, with iOS 7.0.6 already installed, iTunes on my PC didn't say it wanted to update iOS, and allowed me to choose my previous backup to be restored. All was straightforward after that.
    Again, there are places on he web where you can download various versions of iOS, along with a PC utility that will do the iOS update. I think these utilities are for when you want to hack your device, so I'm not crazy about this approach.

    Wait it out for couple of hours.
    Hope you have a backup.
    If you have a backup ready, restart the computer.

  • I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

    I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

    My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced."  Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
    One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures.  Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible.  My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode.

    What is showing on the iphone screen?
    Try this:
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    Make sure itunes is updated to the lates version on the computer.

  • My update failed and now my phone is frozen with the apple symbol

    I was updating my iPhone and it failed and now my phone is frozen with the Apple Icon.  It wont turn off or anything

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Can anyone provide me with a link to the OS X bash Update 1.0 for OS X Lion Server v10.7.5, apparently there is a specific update. I have searched the Apple site without success, I have found the Mavericks, Mountain Lion and Lion version but not the server versions (which do exist, see Apple security updates)
    With Lion and later there is no such thing as a server version of the operating system, this is unlike the previous Mac OS X 10.6 aka. Snow Leopard which did have a specific server version of the operating system.
    So, in reality one only needs Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks versions. The server software is merely an application these days.

    I repeatedly receive an error when my IPad is trying to restore during the IOS 5 update. The error is (-50).  How do I fix this?

    Try restarting everything and then try to sync or reactivate. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, reboot your iPad and then try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
