yea.... that killed it right there. Hopefully it is not bricked

Try putting the device into “recovery mode”. If the phone is useless

Hold down both HOME and SLEEP/WAKE buttons for 8 seconds, then simply releasing the SLEEP/WAKE button while still holding the HOME button for another 8 seconds.

iTunes should recognize it and you can restore or do whatever it says you can do to get things going.
 
iphone asks to connect to itunes, and itunes recognize iphone in recovery mode and ask to restore, then restoring it stucks in half way
 
Power outage interrupted my update and now mine is stuck a little over halfway on the apple boot screen. No clue what to do. Already tried DFU mode with no luck.
