Downloaded fine, but stops at 20% install screen. Holding the home and power button to reset doesn't do anything it starts over and still freezes at 20%.
Got a tip for us?

Managed to go 2 years without downloading iTunes. Uh oh. Now I can't respond to iTunes wanting to be the base for this phone.
My wifi works fine and my iPad updated just fine over the air. No idea what happened. I really dislike iTunes since it's a bloated mess and bugs me about updates every 3 days.
Well yes they do updates but it's only 1 click to say no do not update and since you are not using iTunes anyway (but just to fix your download) then it shouldn't be an issue for you.
You can always not use iTunes and go into an apple store and ask for help or call them on the phone for support. There are other ways you can get help besides downloading iTunes.

The problem is that since I haven't used iTunes before I can't confirm on my phone linking iTunes to my phone since it's frozen. Is there a hard hard reset like taking out the SIM card or something?
press and hold the top and bottom buttons until your phone goes off, then press the bottom button to turn it back on, the install should restart or continue.
edit: oh it still freezes... uh in that case go to apple store.

Before the window closes you can downgrade to 7.1.2 which is much more refined and stable at the moment. You can downgrade and then hold off on iOS 8 until 8.1. The choice is yours but make it quick if you wanna downgrade!
