Hi nnolan82,

We see your iPhone progress got stuck after your computer died during an update. Here's a resource to help with that: Apple logo with progress bar after updating or restoring iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Here's an excerpt from that article that you'll want to follow: "if the update or restore never completes or your device is unresponsive, force your device to restart."

Take care.
