Restore your iPhone from a Backup:
Did you create a backup of your iPhone just after installing the update? If so, restore your iPhone from it. If not, then take this as a learning experience, knowing to always back up your device for recovery purposes. Important: Back up you iPhone prior to performing this restoration, should anything go wrong from here on out.
