iOS 8.0.1 Causing No Service, Touch ID Issues on iPhone 6/6 Plus, Apple Support Recommends iTunes Restore

Just read about this again a bit ago. Ive and Mansfield BOTH couldn't be in a room with him. It said Ive wouldn't meet with him unless Cook was there to mediate. A lot of them were against Forstall. Ive was one of the two that were most against him.

I think it's pretty clear that the rest of the executive team tolerated Forstall when Steve was there (or Forstall behaved differently when Steve was around) and things changed after Steve died. But I'm not sure why we're even talking about him because he didn't have a flawless track record either. Neither did Steve.

Went to Verizon because I had no idea others were also experiencing this problem. Got a new SIM card yet still did not work properly. Rolled back to iOS 8.0.0 and no problems.

Get your act together, Tim Cook and rest of the Apple team. Seems like Cupertino is in such a rush to roll out products / software that QC/QA is pointing downward.

It seems that around the time of the first iPhone back in 2007 that the QA issue really started.

1 single device? There are a lot more than one.

There's 1 SoC and majority of hardware shared by both 6 and 6+. Changes in camera/battery don't affect the faults in this update. Testing 1 model of iPhone is orders of magnitude easier than testing the many many Android phones.
 
Apple isn't to blame for this, it's the users who kept begging for updates that weren't ready so apple felt forced to rush something out
 
I'm on a 5s. The update downloaded but I didn't install, then it got pulled so obviously if you attempt to install at that particular juncture, it can't verify it.

I go into Settings and Usage. Initially, won't let me delete the 1Gb downloaded file. Finally does, removes it. Behold, the badge is still there. Even when you browse your way into Settings you can see a '1' by the side of General and Software update even though it's up to date.

Yet more magical sloop from Apple. Honestly this along with the corners of the folders popping out when you view (a folder) and other little cosmetic quirks has me thinking that it's time to re-animate Steve Jobs. Is he not available as a holographic AI ?

Can I say SLOOP again?

Sounds like an underground movement was going on for some time to get rid of Forstall.

Because you work at Apple and know why he was fired?

Everyone know's pretty much way he was fired, but not deserved.
 
I don't get it, don't they beta test iOS updates for months before release? Better yet, don't they TEST iOS updates at all before release?
 
While they're at it maybe they could revert the clock icon back to the iOS version. The second and minute hands look ridiculous.

Apple are not to blame for QA on their own software?

What users?

And we don't control when Apple chooses to do things. They shouldn't ship it until it's ready, and if they ship it before then it's their fault.
 
So is the ipsw everyone is using to fix this issue the ipsw for 8.0? Apple allowing us to downgrade to 8.0

Just wanted to be clear on what's going on.

Yes, but it has been adopted and become the 'standard' suffix to attach to a scandal of some sort. The etymology of the 'gate' suffix doesn't matter, it's more of a symbolic and well recognised way of identifying or labelling a scandal of some sort. But I agree that it's just being thrown around lightly to anything, especially here on MacRumors since Apple's "Antennagate". :D

Nowadays, Watergate would be called Watergategate.

Jobs didn't need a clean track record. What he wanted, he got. As far as what happened after, a lot of articles say he was working to take Cook's place as CEO. Makes sense why Cook would fire him. Especially when you throw in the fact no one liked him.
 
It is indeed a carrier update issue. Everyone remembers getting those "carrier updates" about cell towers? Seems the iOS update hit before the carriers updated that file so the new iPhone 6 models had no cell tower contact information.
 
Thaks to all!

I was able to un-brick my phone by using restore on the 8.0 ipsw file here.

I know its been posted many times, but ill post how i did it.

locate the ipsw file. for my iphone 6+ is was iPhone7,1_8.0_12A366_Restore.ipsw. the link to this has been posted a few times here already.

plug your iphone into your computer and open itunes

on a mac, hold down the "option" key and click "Update" on your phone screen in itunes. this should open finder for you to select a file

On windows, its "Alt" instead of option

select the correct 8.0 IPSW

let it go thru its steps. at one point my phone asked me to allow the restore to occur, i clicked yes.

When it was done, all my settings, apps, etc all stayed. No need to restore.

good luck to everyone trying the same.
 
And now everyone is trying to download the 8.0 file, slowing Apple's servers. Why can't Apple quickly get an OTA out there to revert? I have no idea if anyone has been trying to call me for 2 hours.

It's been pulled, that'll be as fixed as we'll get, probably for a couple of days - while they try to figure out what went wrong.

The folks that got in trouble will need to roll back to 8.0 (or finish the 8.1 update?) via iTunes (guessing there).

Those looking for a rollback process, here is example one for going from 8 to 7, but the process will work fine just going back to 8.0.0 (just use the 8.0.0 file, instead of the 7.1.2 file, for your phone):

Here's the ipsw files for iPhones (8.0.0 is at the bottom, choose the right one for your phone type, it won't work otherwise):

Good luck everyone....
