Accessory - Downloading accessory firmware.

My HDMI-Adapter does not work after instaling ios 8.2 to iphone6.

After connecting the adapter to the iphone following message appears:


Accessory

Downloading accessory firmware. Your accessory will not function until the download completes.


No downloading starts. Many attempts.

Restarting the iphone was not the solution.


I won't downgrade to ios 8.1


Does anyone know, what to do?

Thanks

I had the same problem and found several other discussions that mention the same thing. Several of the discussions indicated that performing a restore through iTunes fixed the problem.


What fixed it for me was to:


1. Connect my iPhone 5 to iTunes on my PC.


2. Do a backup to my computer of the iPhone.


3. Disable Find my phone in settings/iCloud toward the bottom. You will turn Find my phone back on if you wish after the iPhone is restored.


4.Select restore my iPhone on iTunes. This downloads the latest IOS version for your device and restores it to Factory settings. Note this process can take several hours.


5. Restore backup that you made to your computer to your iPhone.


6. Turned Find my Phone back on.


7. Tested and the HDMI adapter worked as it had before the 8.2 update.


Hope this helps...
