Updated my iPhone 5s to 7.0.6 and the phone won't turn back on.

I personally had no issues with 7.0.6, if you had your phone plugged in, and all backgroud apps shut down I imagine it will update fine OTA, my finger prints stayed. Considering its a very important security update update, I would suggest doing it. Most peoples phones updated fine I know of. Telling people not to plug a SSL vulnerability in their phone is not sensible.

I've just updated my 5C to 7.0.6 and my phone is now bricked.

Other than restoring to factory settings, is there no other way to get all the data back that's on my phone???

I do not know why this suprises so many people. its software, hardware, firmware nothing is 100% full proof. Read the EULA they are not responible for data this is why backup tools are provided. People failing to use tools provided to secure data is no fault but your own. Always remember you are not obligated to update your devices but not doing so can leave you exposed to threats, the same goes with computers and patches. I just cant believe that these devices and update issues have been around for years but yet people still are not smart enough to protect themselves. Yet they exclaim proudly I have owned every iPhone, nice but you cant operate a door knob good luck in life.

Mine has just finally been rebooted but it asked me for 3 random apple ID's that weren't mine and that I don't recognize. Anybody have any idea what that is about?

Those ID's are associated with apps on your phone or icloud backup. Skip the ones you do not know the apps associated will not be downloaded. Redownload the missing apps under your apple ID

I've never downloaded anything using somebody else's ID though. Thnak you for the advice however!

Well, I'm really worried, here in Argentina we don't have an Apple store to go and say "hey! change this brick for a new one with the patch installed" 😟

Just a question, I do care the information inside my iPhone anyway I can do a backup then I can restore it, but if I can't even start it up after the upgrade, then the backup is useless 😟

Same thing happened here and the awful thing is I'm traveling. Sounds like I'll have to wait and try the iTunes connection when I get home. I should have known better .....

Same here. My iphone 4s won't turn on or restore. It happened after I had tried to update to 7.0.6. It froze in the middle of the update, so I had to restart, and then awhile later it turned off and hasn't been able to get past apple logo since. I tried restoring through itunes, and just kept getting "unknown error (9)". Took it to an Apple store, and to summarize, I have to buy a new phone because I tried to update. Thanks, Apple, way to stick it to the customer.

mine just bricked during update . itunes is doing a full restore now .. doesn't even reconize the serial number. *** !

While downloading 7.0.6 my iphone 6 it froze and said plug into itunes, when i did that, got error phone needs to be restored, couldn't get it to work keep crashing on restore for a few hours, finally restored and now it's stuck on intro/setup pages, stating it 'could not be activated because the actation server is temporarily unavailable' has been like this for 4-6 hours i've lost count how many times i've tried, turn it off and on, plug into itunes, tried over WIFI, removed sim, put it back in, etc, etc. Does anyone have any idea?

sorry iPhone 5 not 6 🙂 wishful thinking

I don't have an iPhone but same thing happen to my ipad 2. I tried everything! The only solution was I put my ipad in DFU mode. Did a restore and it worked! Not sure if you want to try that with an iPhone? If you backed up everything? I would give it a try?

Hope that works for anyone bricked! Or stuck with this god awful update! My *** was numb from sitting so long and trying everything! Good luck!

Try the home button and power button at the same time for 10 seconds.

I tried hard reset, restore, DFU, every advice I could find online, with no luck. Also took it to the Apple store, who told me my phone is a goner. It was working perfectly before I tried to update. Now it's a true brick.
