it's been pulled. i think if you force reboot mid-update it cleans up and just goes back to the old. not that I would recommend you try that as it's fairly dangerous.

Mine's stuck at "Preparing Update" even after a reboot. Perhaps it will never fully prepare!

Same. I think the only way they can fix devices in this state is to push an 8.0.2 release.

There have got to be some seriously pissed off individuals right now.

They really need to test their releases. It would have been enough to enable this OTA update an hour earlier for final internal testing only. This would have been obvious.

I wonder why they keep having these fuckups like this and others (iPhones "currently unavailable" on preorder night). Even Apple seems to have C-grade people in some positions of power.

Yeah, it's virtually impossible to brick an iPhone.

You'd be surprised - somehow the fact that I paid full price for my 5S last year broke the activation system, so that every time I installed a software update (which I had to do constantly, since all of the replacement phones were running an outdated build of iOS 7) it killed the cell radio. I went through so many hardware replacements that they eventually gave me a brand-new-in-box phone and reset the 12 month warranty.

Tried a factory restore via USB and still no service.
Now where do I find build 12A365 for the iPhone 6...

You think they didn't test this? More logical is it got accidentally released too early, or the wrong build?

Giving limited access to internal testers before a full release is part of final testing. It's testing whether the update process for 8.0.1 is set up correctly.

Looks like the apple servers no longer sign 8.0.1 so don’t bother restoring with that build and download 12A365 manually right away.

Good luck downloading that because their CDN appears to be completely overloaded now. 200 kB/s on my 150 Mbit connection. Haha, what a giant clusterfuck.



oh heh. :suicide:

a specific vein of lasagna
Son of a bitch, just took the case off my 5 and checked, and sure enough, it has a slight (2 degrees maybe) bend in the same exact spot as those 6+s. If I press on the top left,me bottom rises off a flat surface a couple of millimeters. It's been in cases since purchased, so I'm pretty surprised and annoyed. Guess I'll have to put a goddamn Otterbox brick around my 6. Also, I wear straight leg jeans, not slim or skinny.

You can add "Hack" to this. Everything from DDOS to rooting a phone to the very annoying idiots who post from another person's Facebook "Bobbie Sue You Been Hacked!", because the person left their Facebook logged on.

FWIW, restoring a 8.0.1 backup on a 8.0.0 device does not work. Wonder if I’ll be able to restore it when 8.0.2 is out or if the backup is completely shot, not that it matters for me because luckily I still have a backup from yesterday.
