Okay so I tried to update my iphone 5s to iOS8 earlier today via usb in my laptop. After about two hours of waiting it says that there's an error and sends my phone to the screen where it says 'plug into itunes' and now it's stuck on the white screen with an apple logo, then the screen goes blue, and it goes back to the white screen over and over. iTunes won't recognize it when I plugged it in. Any help is appreciated

This happened to my husband's iPhone last year when he tried updating his phone.



Congrats on the bricked phone. There was nothing that could be done for his.



What kind of iPhone did you have?

Good point. Just trying to see if anyone would have knowledgeable input here which I know is shooting in the dark but more people frequent the OT

If you can't even do a hard reset (hold down home and off button 10 seconds), then you'll need to take it into the apple store. Make an appointment if you can. If it's going to be a while before you can go in, google is your friend.

Take it to an apple store and have them look at it then.



My husband's phone last year was the last 4 that came out...but it had gotten wet and had acted funky ever since. He should have not pushed his luck and tried updating it.

You think apple would do anything for it? I'm just curious what made it do this, maybe something corrupted or something? idk

mine is just a software problem, no physical damage

I can't give you a reason. I wasn't there when it happened and I can't look at it now. If this happened during an update, you might have gotten fragmented data if it lost connection during the update. That's not supposed to happen, but it's not unheard of.

Happened to the secretary during her last update. You have to go into dfu, wipe and restore from itunes. Either get this thread moved to the tech board or use google.
