Updated my iPad Pro 9.7 and iPhone 6s this morning OTA. Both went fine with no glitches. Both did take awhile. Time will tell whether things continue without a hiccup.
Thanks, they did manage to "revive" my iPhone. But to answer your question, technically I could get it into recovery mode... but after the recovery finished and it put the OS back onto the phone, I was sent straight back to the boot loop. Not sure what they did to fix this, should've asked but I was in a hurry.
Something else I noticed: I've been trying to restore my iPhone from an iCloud update, and it errors out of ALL of them. I plugged it into iTunes and was able to restore just fine from a backup way back in September. I don't know a whole lot about how iOS functions, but *maybe* there's been some corrupt data in my iPhone for a while now and the update was the straw that broke the camel's back?
No idea, just glad to be back up and running even if I've lost a bit of data.
