iOS 8.0.1 has just killed my cellular connectivity

[gopnick]

I successfully reverted to 8.0, which restored cellular service. However, it is telling me that my backup in iCloud can't be used, and I'm hosed.

15 years an Apple customer may be ending soon.

Is this not the real Tim Cook?

Yeah, the support account followed him.

I edited my post after closer investigation lol. Kids and their stupid twitter crap.

Thank goodness I came on here beforehand! Didn't know there was an update... I will wait! # Apple better sort this quick. Don't think I have ever seen anything like this from Apple!

No need to restore. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1789049/

So this will act just like a regular update? As in when the phone restarts, everything will be as it was on 8.0.1?

Restore to 8.0.1 through iTunes, then your backup will work and it fixed the cell connection for me

Apple support says it was only released for 6 and 6 Plus users.....

Says he's consulting with a senior advisor right now..

My old iPhone 4s wants to update to 8.0.1

Yes it does not touch any of your data, Your phone will be exactly as it is now but just with the iOS 8.0

Can anyone confirm that you can now simply hit update and go back to 8.0, my guess is no, that you have to download the firmware and manually select.

I wanted to twitter about it... but Apple was one step ahead of me

Correct.

It's been pulled. So if you restore on iTunes, it will restore back to 8.0.

Thanks... Downloading the 2.1 GB file now...

 

[Trebuin]

Correct.

so if you hit update on 8.0.1, it will download 8.0 for you now?

You should only need to update...much faster.

after reading all these Posts about dead iPhone's after update, one can't help but wonder? Isn't their a 15 day return Policy on Apple products? Thinks Apple would freaken go nuts if all these broken phones get returned. Just a thought folks you never know what would happen if they got hit with all these phones.

Surely you can still type in the passcode as a bypass around TouchID.



Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage -> then look for the iOS update and delete it

Many thanks for the instructions. Much appreciated!

Well no. Technically if you're running 8.0.1, it's newer than 8.0 so you're technically up to date already. It will only show 8.0 as an update if you're on an earlier version of iOS.

That's what I thought should happen. If I were working with apple, I'd simply post 8.0 as 8.0.1.1 and post (revert to 8.0) in the change log. That would make this the easiest.

iTunes doesn't have a copy of 8.0.1. I did it OTA originally.
