iOS 8 Update Failed

WOW... thanks.. this app works just great. The iTunes where telling me I had to recover and lose all my data, but with this, the iphos just reboot and it works just great now. Doing the upgrade again. Once again thanks for sharing.

Guys, I was having the same problem since last night and I just fixed it. Have been following this thread from the very beginning so thought to share how it got fixed.

Well download iOS 8 on your iTunes and try restoring it by connecting your iPhone to your desktop/laptop. If it fails again and again just be patient. The main reason behind it is the server. As expected everyone is trying to download iOS 8, which is actually causing the problem. I've been trying it for hours and got lucky to restore it maybe the load was not much now as it was before. So, if your phone is not restoring just wait for a while and it will surely work once the server is a bit off-loaded. I know how painful it is but all you can do now is just to wait. Hope you have backed-up all your photos and other medias as all the pictures will be deleted once you start using your iPhone/iPad/iPod. Contacts will automatically be saved on your phone if you have backed those up on iCloud.

Hope everyone gets back their devices back to normal and sorry for my English.

Cheers!

I Have successfully installed the IOS 8 update on my iPad Air but when I click the backup now button in iTunes it begins normally but then comes back with an error saying it can't backup due to an error. Has any one had the same problem?

cheers

recboot doesnt work on x64, so i downloaded reiboot and it worked perfectly fine

recboot cannot recognize my iphone 5. any software that could replace recboot? im really desperate now. couldnt use my phone the whole day 😟

I had the exact same troubles after IOS 8 update. Treid recboot on my PC nothing.

About to give up I found Reiboot, downloaded that, worked straight away within seconds.

THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, i thought i lost everything!

i use both of the recboot and reiboot, but when i start to exit recovery mode, my phone instantly shut down and restart every time!How can I do??

I tried this, but my ipad is showing that no device is connected, any advise?

same issue i just waited it out and was able to restore and update

Good to know, that waiting until the servers are less busy will sort things out.
