Um so antenna gate never happened?

At least with Antenna gate, you could hold it differently and have it work

Or you could put on a case, and it'd work

In this case, you can't do anything to have it work

I was talking to Apple Support before being disconnected and he had no solutions other than to restore my iPhone and hope that the 8.0.1 being downloaded is better than the OTA.

He had planned to send me a link to the IPSW file if this didn't work.

Apple says try restore from recovery mode in itunes

I'm on the line with apple and they've connected me with a senior engineer. He is telling me to restore the phone from recovery mode using iTunes. Apparently this is an issue with the over the air update.

I'll keep everyone posted.

 

[Narg]

How to fix!!!

Do an iTunes restore with 8.0.1 and you should get things back to normal on 6 and 6+

 

[cmjars]

Put your phone in recovery mode

by connecting it to iTunes

retore 8.01 from there will get your cell service back

just did it it works

 

[whiteboytrash]

CNTRL-ALT -DEL appears to rectify the issue.

 

[jimmydx]

Resetting or updating with IPSW?

CONFIRMED!!!

For iPhone 6 users: If your phone is having problems, download the 8.0.1 IPSW and option-update in iTunes. This will fix the issues!

I have a phone again! Yayyy!

Is this a RESET or just and update??

 

[lwood1]

Problems with iPhone 5? Anyone?
I've downloaded, but not installed.

No.

 

[scottsjack]

That will probably be addressed in 8.1.

Will most likely be addressed in iPhone 7.

 

[pyrodex]

Ugh...


After the Upgrade trick now I have other issues. Can't open Safari or Mail, Calendar is showing no date, and settings is missing a few key elements for those weird apps.

 

[AlexH]

Yeah, but Safari feels so much snappier.

 

[whirldy]

So the idiots carrier tested this for a week, but not one single person tested it as an OTA update? Brain dead.

Is it only NO CELLULAR if updated via OTA? Are iTunes updaters getting the same issues?

.

 

[bradkrischel]

and you're post number #666

yikes

 

[michael31986]

i hope i can delete it before it installs on the OTA update.

 

[Foss]

Update was pulled. Thanks goodness!

U2 album, the bend story yesterday, and now this.

Disappointing news on an otherwise nice hardware release week.

What do porn and theft have to do with each other?

Both involve a snatch...

As a few others have mentioned, I just confirmed that re-applying the 8.0.1 ipsw through iTunes fixes the issue. Sounds like something is wrong with the OTA.

iPhone 6 on ATT running iOS 8.0.1 is working for me now.

 

[kerrikins]

You guys have no idea how many Samsung marketing people are in here driving up the "my phone is broken" post count. Check the profiles of people posting it's broken...many have just 1 post. Sure, some might have joined just to post, but that many? Come on.

It seems like it's broken for all who updated who have iphone 6. Check my post history if you want, I'm not here to drive up the post count. Just happy that I have my 5S as backup

Good to know, I'll be updating tonight when I get home

 

[ouimetnick]

You just rendered my iPhone 6 plus useless and IOS8.0 already removed
from developers web site....

You did a great job :-(

Touch ID as well?

 

[becomingwater]

I had this problem with iOS 8 update. I have AT&T and it needed a tower update to the phone which didn't happen right away. It took a few hours for the update to go through

 

[c0dal]

Guess I should have read up first. This update killed my cellular service. Wow. iOS 8 has been a clusterf---.
