Iphone completely unresponsive after updating to IOS 16

[spring musk]

As the title says my phone has been completely unresponsive to anything,
it's simply just stuck on the screen with the apple logo and a progress bar.
I've tried forced resets and my Iphone will not connect to Itunes anymore.

Looked online for solutions but got nothing that's worked so far

[gentle pecan]

how long has it been stuck on the ios update page?

[spring musk]

Roughly an hour

[gentle pecan]

and im assuming in this time the progress bar hasnt moved?

[spring musk]

Not at all

[gentle pecan]

and when you force restarted what happened?

[spring musk]

Uh, I tried holding down the power button for a while
Tried with the audio buttons and power button
nothing has had a response so far

[spring musk]

Guess you got nothing

Oh to add onto this I updated my phone because it said I needed to

My Wifi and cellular capabilities were gone

Try going back to 15.6 RC. it's still signed I reckon

[spring musk]

I should still be on ios 15.6

Updating to ios 16 is the problem and now I'm stuck in recovery mode

Anything besides connecting the phone to my laptop doesn't give any response

https://i.imgur.com/vN3Fl8g.png I also have this happen whenever I try to update

Is the phone just ruined

[cloud bronze]

nope

Latter in this is the reason for “-1”

because your phone isn’t a iPhone 4

[final kernel]

Try putting your phone in DFU before restoring

Having a restored phone is better than having none

[spring musk]

I'll try that

Actually, I can't get out of recovery mode once I connect it to my laptop

[spring musk]

I just switched to my mac and got this

I'm connected to the internet

[final kernel]

turn off and then back on wifi

Then try again

[spring musk]

will do

[final kernel]

yes, try updating if you don’t want to lose your data

restore if it fails again

[spring musk]

Alright, I'll lyk

@final kernel

weird

[final kernel]

try again ig

alternatively download the latest IPSW you can from IPSW.me

and then option click on update and choose that IPSW

[spring musk]

doing this rn

I'll download that in case

this one didnt work again so ill try with ipsw

[spring musk]

I don't see an option to download from an ipsw

[final kernel]

option key

and click

[spring musk]

Ah my bad

was using my window kb

[final kernel]

try restoring then

[spring musk]

Will do

The ipsw file does the same thing on restore

I'ma try the finder download then retry the ipsw download

[cloud bronze]

did u download from ipsw.me?

[spring musk]

Ye

ffs

turned wifi on and off

and replugged my phone

tried it with a new file from ipsw.me

[final kernel]

Latest iOS IPSW?

16.0.2?

[spring musk]

Yea

[final kernel]

oh

[spring musk]

Is that wrong?

[final kernel]

no

it’s just that your phone might be dead

try futurerestoring without updating the baseband

idk how to do that but if you look it up should be pretty easy

[spring musk]

I don't really know what that is

Alright

[final kernel]

futurerestore is like advanced iTunes

but only for restoring and updating idevices

[spring musk]

I'll try this and see if I can take it to like a tech shop or smth tmrw Idk

if it doesn't work

[final kernel]

I have a feeling that it’s a dead baseband honestly

[spring musk]

Would dropping it be able to cause that

[final kernel]

Baseband is what controls cellular stuff

[final kernel]

Possibly but very very rarely

[spring musk]

I did drop it on the floor the night before

It's possible to replace it though?

I have no idea what I'm doing with futurerestore so guess it's not rly viable
