And yet, I installed GM Beta on my SE few days ago without any problems xD.

Does anyone know what "bricked" actually means?

 

[Big Brett]

Hey guys my phone is bricked I can't figure out how to turn raise to unlock on.

But really, where is that option.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

iPhone 6 are not affected?

 

[Sickbean]

And....... my iPad Pro is bricked... asking me to connect to iTunes...

WTF.

Same here, bricked my 6s. Now taking 40 years to download 9.3.5 on iTunes.

 

[VAD]

Holy shit, thanks for the heads up I was going to update as soon as I got home.

 

[Tabris]

You don't need to Restore via iTunes, just select Upgrade option.

 

[Fuu]

well fuck me, I'm glad I checked this thread because I had just started downloading the OTA update. Going to do it later at home instead.

 

[kharma45]

iPhone 6 are not affected?

Seemingly not. Just A9 devices.

 

[Luschient]

Started updating my 6S OTA before reading this, currently at "13 minutes left"...fuck it, gonna let it finish up and install.

 

[Iadien]

i think i have the latest version... but its not an option atm, do you mean with a bricked phone?

The latest itunes version will not recognize my 6s. I'm going to try with wifi...

 

[Sullichin]

Well I immediately hate the new Messages app and want to get rid of all the shitty icons.

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.

Cool thanks....update failed twice or maybe three times:

"The problem may be fixed by updating your iPhone, which preserves your settings and content. However, if updating doesn’t work, it may be necessary to click Restore, which erases all settings and content. If you backed up this iPhone to this computer or iCloud, you’ll be prompted to restore the backup onto the iPhone."

 

[Fry]

What is OTA update? lol

Nobody is updating it via iPhone itself?

I'm on iPhone 5S and I've got the option already. Just waiting to get home to my wifi to do it.

All these brick messages! haha

 

[CharminUltra]

Frack, I already started the download. Gonna let it finish. Spray for my iPhone, GAF.

OTA update actually is updating via the phone

 

[Estocolmo]

Important question! I'm I have to go to bed in 2 hours and I need my phone for school tomorrow

I don't have a Mac computer in my home. Can I go to my friends house and use his itune to restore my iPhone? I tried to update the phone but now it just promts me to wire it to iTunes.

 

[Rodin]

Updating now, hope it's not fucked for me (iPhone 6)

 

[pbsapeer]

downloaded 9.3.5 (or whatever version it said) on itunes and its installing to my 6s right now.
Guess we'll see what happens. cant say its not exciting / stressful

Really?

I thought it was through another source other than the actual phone.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Really?

I thought it was through another source other than the actual phone.

OTA means Over The Air or downloaded directly to the device from Settings

 

[ZeroX03]

Try putting it into DFU mode: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263

Yeah that's not working. iTunes doesn't think anything is plugged in.

 

[icespide]

it's literally the opposite of what you thought

 

[Fry]

Hahahaha,

glad to know.

 

[Fret]

Over The Air update

 

[Ambitious]

The new folder opening/closing animation is nauseating. When I close a folder, the blur effect is reduced in a continuous way, but in the end the effect is removed abruptely. It's jarring.

 

[pbsapeer]

Okay so used the update on itunes (after i got the connect to itunes message) and i have my phone working again. If i go to update it brings up iOS10 so its good. havent lost any data or apps from what i can see

 

[artsi]

Yeah, bricked my 6S+

Nice job Apple. Downgrading via iTunes now.

 

[gamma]

Phew, you guys scared me. My 6S just went through the OTA update fine.

 

[cchum]

My shit actually is bricked....nothing's happening even through iTunes. Trying a restore..

 

[SynthFetish]

Does anyone know what "bricked" actually means?

No, no one knows what it actually means. But they think it means plug it into iTunes.

 

[SUPARSTARX]

Damn. Read these late. It's installing....

I got lucky. All is good over here. Doing watchOS3 update now...

 

[tedrotheredro]

Live view of the apple store:

 

[Tabris]

Does anyone know what "bricked" actually means?

Sure, it's not truly bricked because you have an option. But there are users out there that have an iPhone but don't have a computer, so they have to take it in or give it to a friend to fix, so essentially like it's bricked.

Yeah, bricking has always meant a one way street to paperweight status.

This is forcing an iTunes install, hardly bricking.

Ouf yeah didn't think about those people.

Apple Store will be even more insane for the next days.

 

[Kabuto]

My iPhone 6S+ won't connect to iTunes

In my Device Manager, under Other devices it has two Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode), but I can't update the drivers from there. What more can I dooo

Now it keeps saying Unable to connect to iCloud Music Library. Apple...

 

[awilliams213]

Brave souls...OTA

 

[empyrean]

Mine says it can't be updated and needs to restored to factory settings! .

 

[SephCast]

So I went through OTA and got through the black screen with apple logo and progress bar, and now it's just black. Anyone have similar issues?

Edit: Nvm all good, after I just held the power button on.

 

[cchum]

Ok what do I do now...update failed through iTunes...trying a restore, but nothing's happening. Downgrade or something?

 

[epmode]

Does anyone know what "bricked" actually means?

Right?

Bricked means that your device is done. Unfixable by the enduser, even with iTunes.

 

[Fliesen]

so, what's the point in "VERIFYING" an update if said process doesn't detect a borked update file?...

 

[jts]

Sorry guys. Must be the hammered servers dishing out corrupted updates, but the phone should always verify the update.

One of the reasons I prefer to always install the GM as soon as possible is avoid the public release shitshow. Glad I did. Installed OTA in 2 phones with no issues.

 

[Muzy72]

How do I see the update progress on iTunes? This botched update is really annoying me ugh.

 

[Tabris]

OK, iOS10 messages is both obnoxious and fun Maybe just a bunch of people sending me laser messages lol

 

[Treythalomew]

iPad Pro updated fine after OTA failure from iTunes. I had to use my macbook though, windows pretends to never see my stuff.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Why are people using the word bricked? If there is a real problem you're obscuring the meaning.

 

[KingKong]

I can already tell that its gonna take a while to get used to hitting the home button instead of swiping to open the phone

 

[StoopKid]

Stuck at the Apple ID login page.

Should I just restart my phone?
