Mar 7, 2016 11:01 PM in response to SeanARby muriukimichael,Hi,I did this but managed to fix my phone before it got bricked.You'll need a working internet connection and a Mac with the latest version of iTunes installed.
This is how to fix it:
1. remove the battery and press the power button for 10 to 30 seconds.(you can do it yourself by following DIY guides or visit the apple store)
This resets the system clock.
2. Restore the battery,(The phone will pick date and time settings from the network operator automatically )
3. Start the iPhone and put it into recovery mode(press and hold the home and power button until iTunes detects it).
4. Restore the iPhone firmware and restore your data from previous backups
5. And your iPhone is back.
Ohh it got really hot while stuck at the apple logo so to stop it from melting(I imagined this happening),put the iPhone into recovery mode by pressing the home and power button till it.You can then follow the steps above to fix it.

It should be noted...
you can do it yourself by following DIY guides
and
visit the apple store
Are two *very* different things. One is risky and could keep your phone bricked. The other gets you a trip to the mall.

Mar 8, 2016 12:15 AM in response to SeanARby Elitegate,Why did you do this? You knew about the bug, you should have als knew that there is currently no fix for that. If you're lucky this is covered under warranty and Apple will replace your phone.

Mar 8, 2016 3:22 AM in response to muriukimichaelby FelipeV,Your "solution" involves voiding the warranty if the warranty is still valid, and if not valid, forfeiting out of warranty service form Apple. As has been documented here, there are other ways to go about resolving the problem. And removing the battery is NOT one of them.
