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

[dojoman]

Get it right first time Apple, or you want more commercials from Samsung making fun of you?

 

[Risco]

The update has been pulled.

 

[jrcsh6]

Haha, Yea my 6(-) on ATT is out. Trying restore....
Read this headline midway through the black screen with Apple and status bar...

 

[Carlanga]

I will update when the jb comes out, prob around 8.2 lol

 

[critter13]

they pulled it

I think they pulled the update. iTunes says 8.0 is the latest version

 

[TsunamiTheClown]

Wow, I know i would lose my job with a DOA update like this...

 

[nep3d]

Don't make excuses like an *******.

Agreed, this is not acceptable for those affected.

You don't need to do a full restore to fix the issue. I did the OTA update and lost service/touch ID. I then downloaded the ISPW and did an option check for update. iTunes then installed 8.0.1 again without needing to restore my data.

Thank you for posting this! # so glad I don't have to restore everything.

Steve would... *SMACK*

Will this update automatically download and install when i plug my phone in tonight on Wifi??

If so, how do I turn off automatic download/install of system updates? Thx...

 

[thomamon]

Looks like they took down the file to update... Trying and no luck.

Plugged into iTunes and hit update, says I have the latest.

Restored via the .ipsw - Cell service and touch ID now working on 6+.

That being said, Health book no longer will open. Crashes instantly.

This seems planned to stop bend gate news. Bloomberg reporting it and interviewing the video maker that's gone viral. This is apple response to "kill the noise"

You sound just like Rush Limbaugh.

 

[Nozuka]

i dont think tim cook will be happy with all the bad press.
which is good. things might improve with ios9

 

[macduke]

Restart the phone, let it download, there will be a button under settings once the update is verified that says install now, don't hit it

Also, if your battery is under 50% then you're safe because it will stop the install. That saved my ass. Glad I didn't recharge my 6 Plus last night.

Update: Apple has pulled iOS 8.0.1 from the Developer Center and it is also no longer available via an over-the-air download.

It is however still available via iTunes.

 

[macintologist]

8.0.1 is working beautifully on my 4S

 

[I8P'CS]

So they create more bad press to quiet the bad press...if this were true, may be time to sell apple stocks...might do this anyway...

You'd rather have issues with software that can be fixed with a software update in the future, than people returning iPhones, based on bend gate going viral. Just my feeling not confirmed.

No service is unlike Apple. Bugs apps crashing etc is.

RT@Apple: At least Safari feels snappier

 

[forza1976]

Support told me the same thing, restore in iTunes to resolve. Restore in process...

 

[KdParker]

I think they pulled the update. iTunes says 8.0 is the latest version

So even going to the iTunes will not help now?

 

[apple.snapple]

Well, I'm stuck at work where I cannot install iTunes, so I'm stuck with a bricked phone until I get home late tonight. Freaking amazing.

Hopefully this works. I have a slow connection right now.

My iPhone 5 was already getting "No SIM Card" before this update. Think I'll skip this update.
