WARNING IOS10 bricks iPhone

[cola79]

It's not bricked. Bricked means you can't do ANYTHING with it.

Sounds like a random issue. Restore fresh from iTunes to iOS 10 and then restore your backup. Problem solved. Is it a minor inconvenience? Sure.

Well, i cant do anything with my SE.

Recovery does not work, and the phone just shows an itunes logo.

Minor inconvenience? iPhone bricked, iPad mini4 worked.
NO LONGER!
Problem solved using DFU.

Glad I got the GM last week! Good luck everyone.

If you check out the manage storage section in your settings, you should see iOS 10 and be able to delete the download.

Thank you SO much!

So you need to go to the Apple store and swap your phone?

I love how snarky people get. This has happened to many people. It's not user error, it's a bad download.

Lol I was just joking. That's my go to joke. Even when my wife can't figure something out technologically I say "User error."

 

[samcheezay]

off topic but my message effects aren't working when i hit and hold the ^ arrow key on the right hand side...any ideas?

I report the user error to the apple support supervisor for them to investigate.
To thank me they are sending me a new iPhone 7S plus for taking the time to report it.

Apparently this issue only affected some persons who updated within the first hour.

We experienced a brief issue with the software update process, affecting a small number of users during the first hour of availability. The problem was quickly resolved and we apologize to those customers. Anyone who was affected should connect to iTunes to complete the update or contact AppleCare for help.

My iPad Air 2 updated perfectly, but my iPhone 6s Plus didn't. I have it back to normal after connecting it to my MacBook.

You need to hold the send button on the right (up arrow)

[RadioGaGa1984]

iPad Pro iPhone 6s and Apple TV all updated perfectly as usual.

 

[Maltoo2]

just updated my 6s+ and had no issues what so ever

 

[SundaeWarship]

updated my iPhone 6 around 1:15 and it worked fine for me. My buddy tried it around the same time and he got the iTunes "message".

 

[AhemThisGuy]

My update worked fine. I updated via my phone.

Shows "error 12" after trying restore which I believe means replacement phone only answer sadly.
FIXED! DFU the solution.

Not random, mine now demands iTunes to get it going again. I would suggest people use iTunes to do the update.

 

[bchreng]

Updated my 6s+ about half an hr ago OTA with no issues.

 

[mrex]

User error.

... to trust that an update will work?

1. OTA didnt work
2. itunes tried to offer only ios935
3. itunes own updating is fked up...
4. when you finally get itunes to update itself, you are able to get ios10
5. While your are downloading the file, itunes ask you to update your phone (as it was in the beginning)
5. Updating your phone to ios10 failed (a bug in itunes - it is still downloading the file!!) - it really didnt even try to update it.
6. Ignoribg itunes bug, and waiting that the file is downloaded, you are are able to fix the first error.

User error???

 

[Maltoo2]

both my 6s+ and Air2 updated with no issues 6s+ within the first hour of release

Yes. User error.

 

[mrex]

Could you please explain how it is an user error when a) ota update doesnt work and b) itunes is false reporting back to you? (it is telling you that the update failed althought it is still downloading the file.)

 

[adriancmr]

I started to update at 18:13 UK time, iPhone 6s, now says connect to iTunes. iTunes wouldn't load on my laptop so had to reinstall it.

Now it wont update or let me restore, a few minutes after clicking update or restore it comes up with an error message saying failed to connect, check network settings......

Any suggestions?
