You may have to arrange to take the product into an authorized

service agent for the iPhone (or other affected iDevice) to see

if they can apply the correct firmware update, to help resolve the

issue of upgrade; or if they have a way to put it as it was prior to

the attempted upgrade to a later iOS.



Pending some release of another update to the iOS, you'd need

to have someone's hands-on effort to correct the issues your

product faces now, before another round of upgrade attempt.


Sorry that I have no exact method to attempt to resolve your issue.

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
