Q: Phone stuck on apple logo after iOS 9 update.

Did your update survive the first reboot of the phone? This morning, I thought I had resolved this issue by putting my phone into recovery mode, doing a clean install of 9.0.2 using the IPSW file downloaded from Apple (using the Shift-Click-"Restore") method, and then re-loading my backup.

Everything was working, with NO data loss, until I rebooted the phone. On reboot, it stuck at the Apple logo as usual.

Going to try the iBackupBot method next. Fingers crossed.

My iPhone was replaced today at the Apple Store under warranty. All is well now. I was able to restore from my backup with no issues once I got home.

Hi,

I have the same above problem.

I have updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 9.0.2 but I am not able to restore it with my last backup taken from iOS 8.1.4

Now since Apple has stopped signing iOS 8.1.4 I can't revert back to iOS 8.1.4

So now I am stuck with iOS 9.0.2 without my earlier data, Can you please specify which files did you specifically deleted? OR can you please help me find out the solution?

I can be available via Team Viewer or any other app if need be.

I need this urgent.

Thanks,

Sanket S.

This is apparently a common issue.  I have it too.... Awaiting a fix to restore my data.... have disabled backup to iCloud in the meantime....

Here are all the threads I found on this including this one:

After my experience, I would encourage anyone with this issue (and with a device in-warranty) to go brave the crowd at the Apple Store and get your iPhone replaced. I know it's not the ideal option but it was the only thing that worked for me.

@dustinspaulding

Something does not add up though....  A replacement would fix this if it is a hw issue....  Is that what you are alluding to?  If it is software, then our existing phones should be able to be 'reset' to the same state as a brand new phone and then it would work.  I have tried a number of things to get it to that state without luck.

Will go to store though and see what they can do.... biggest issue is they don't have usually a 6s available.... 

Have same issue
Restored with iTune, I had backup of my iOS 8 now when I try to restore my backup it stucks on apple logo  tried 4,5 times
Worst experience ever with ios update , No I lost all my messages, apps data, whatsapp chat everything gone.

I have same issue
but I try to resolve this problem with another solution.

open backup itunes with 3th party software to copy photo,sms,phone address,whatsapp chat and apps data.

you can search in internet for that.

Can you please tell me the software name?

itools    can explorer your backup and choose restore

iBackup Viewr            can check file and restore

iExplorer                    can check file and restore

PhoneRescue            restore file type

FoneLab                    restore file type

Someone tried to update to iOS 9.1 to see if the problem is still there ?

BTW dear all listed tools are not able to get back sms etc.
I was able to manage and get back my Whatsapp chatt and media by using iBackupbot, I've created a new backup on iO9 and modify it with iBackbot and restored back to my device and got my all whatsapp chats and media etc.
Now I just want to get back my SMS.

Anyone tried 9.1 to see if this works?

Not fixed in iOS 9.1. Apple has already replaced my phone once and the Genius Techs were completely stumped when they tried to diagnose it. I was able to get the new phone to 8.4.1 (the tech said i HAD to update the phone to iOS 9, even when I told him it would just break it) but now Apple has stopped signing 8.4.1 and I'm stuck with a stuck phone.

APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS.

Just tried about an hour ago, no dice. Phone gods allowed me to restore backup 9.1
