iOS 10 - NICE BRICK!!!

[SkydiverTilt]

good deal...my download is taking forever, not sure what the delay is.

Again....


A bricked phone means one thing: your phone won't turn on in any way, shape or form, and there's nothing you can do to fix it. It is, for all intents and purposes, as useful as a brick. A phone stuck in a boot loop is not bricked, nor is a phone that boots straight into recovery mode

Hmm maybe the server are getting slammed????

Between that and network bottlenecks between the user and Apple...

 

[John Yester]

I was being sarcastic lol

Not too happy... I started the update and fell asleep. I now awoke to bring prompted to connect to iTunes. I DO NOT USE A DESKTOP ANYMORE. What do I do??

Is everyone keeping their phone plugged into power when doing the update?...wondering if folks plugged into power are having this issue as well!....

 

[Brummy16]

Mine was plugged into power

Interesting...I would think then a corrupted download or something since servers are getting hammered...

 

[Brummy16]

Gonna try it from itunes

Yeah, I was plugged in the whole time.

I should have known better - I'm an enterprise sys admin.

With full backup, cleanup, and restart it still failed. Two 9.3.5 download attempts have failed, third going slower. I need a polite but strong way to say not happy.

My 6s dos the same had to connect to iTunes and update back to 9.3.5 and it works now but not planning to update to iOS 10 until at the earliest tomorrow afternoon

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.

 

[Griffin2012]

Backed mine up before install and was running 9.3.5 for awhile... and...bricked! Restored phone and works fine. I will wait awhile until they figure out what the problem is with OTA updates. I did try again after reinstall, but received a message saying they " unable to connect to iTunes"?

you can play your silly little word games all you want, but if I can't use it...IT'S A F'IN BRICK!

Ugh, why does John need to be so aggressive in his responses? Honestly...

Sorry you find the truth told succinctly to be aggressive.

Temporarily...

Very cute, but since the other user already downloaded and installed iOS 9.5.3 and then 10 I could chalk it up to old mac, old itunes version, bad connection, multiple computers and devices on my internet, xfinity having a slowdown....soooooooooo i'm not sure what the problem is.
