Why is iPhone 5c crashing after 7.1 update?

I updated to 7.1 this evening and since then the phone is randomly crashing. Apple logo comes up for a few seconds and then back to the home screen. Its crashed at least 5 times in the last 10 mins.
Is there a way to go back to the previous software version as my phone is unusable right now.

Thanks kb1951. I've done a restore within itunes. Its all finished (only gave me the option of 7.1) but the s/w is still crashing constantly. Is there anything else I can try?
Apple tech's if you are reading this - please help!

Iphone 5S crashing after 8.3 update blue screen of death

I have an iPhone 5S which is 90 days out of warranty. I updated to 8.3 and the first issue I noticed was my music app. When I play music it doesn't start off from the last song I played - I have to choose my songs again and restart my shuffled playlist. Last week out of nowhere my phone crashed but it was at 80% battery. The screen went black, then blue, then tried to reboot. It "reset" itself within a few hours. Next day I accessed the App Store and it crashed again. It has since crashed several more times using Facebook, email, turning it off...very frustrating. I brought my phone to VZW and they said it was a software issue. I then went to the Genius Bar and they said without restoring the phone and reinstalling ios, they have no way of knowing if it's software or hardware. The phone crashed as the tech was looking at my phone so he excused himself, went to the back and came back with a second opinion "it's definitely a hardware issue and since you are out of warranty, you'll have to buy a new phone for $549". WHAT?!? So wait, you JUST told me that you wouldn't know if it was a hardware issue until the phone was restored so how did you magically surmise this? Then to tell me there is NOTHING that can be done and if I wanted to restore from a backup, I wouldn't be guaranteed that all of my content would be restored to my phone OR there is a possibility my phone would be wiped clean and not restorable at all. Nice try and scare tactic. I left Apple with a phone stuck on the blue screen of death. I went back to VZW and they said its definitely not a hardware issue and even if it were, Apple is the company to seek, not them - they are just my carrier. I am so fed up with Apple. Every update and phone I've had with them has had issues. I don't know why I continue to be their customer. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

Sorry, what i wrote was wrong and i can't edit it again now
Here's what I was actually meant to say,
Hi
You could try basic trouble shooting, that's what everyone usually suggests first but it that fails to work then it is a hardware issue.
Did it start crashing after you installed or or got rid of an app? Oh and has it happened before on any other IOS?
In my opinion you should email Apple explaining the issue and they might be able to help you or tell you it plain and simple that your phone is broken

IPhone 4 crashing after iOS 6 update (low memory)

After updating my iOS 6 update on a iPhone 4 the system is crashing every time I use an app. I´ve already tried to reset all apps and it still remais to crash. Have you any idea of what should I do to solve this.

Hi,
Try to deactivate the FACEBOOK INTEGRATION (go to settings).. After i removed it to my iphone 4 All apps are now doing fine... No more crashing of apps :-) hope it works for you...
The problem is with facebook, go to settings / facebook / your user name and delete your account, the do a hard reset (home+power for some seconds).
dont need to delete the facebook app! just delete your integrate account from settings

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Don't worry about that. iPhone stuck in recovery mode always happens when you update the iOS on your iPhone. There are two ways to solve it.
First is is to put your iPhone in DFU mode.
Step 1. Turn off iPhone
Step 2. Hold down the Power and Home button.
Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the Home button down.
Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that it’s in restore mode.
If DFU mode can't solve the problem, I'm afraid the only solution is to try some 3rd party software, like iPhone data recovery or something like that. You may simply try the tutorial here: How to Fix iPhone that is Stuck in Recovery Mode.

Reset the phone (no data loss): Press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears. After the phone restarts, try updating again.

My Iphone keeps crashing since the new update.. how do I get my phone to work right

My Iphone keeps crashing since the new update 7.1.. how do I get my phone to work right

First, create a separate login on your computer for your friend. Do this BEFORE you do anything else. Next, make sure iTunes is up to date. Then:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in iTunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on her phone will be in her itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore her itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.
