This works except cannot restore to backup

This works except I cannot restore to backup. If I try, I get stuck on the slide to upgrade error again/

I can only restore to a new phone. This is the only way I can get a working phone.

How can I restore to my backup? Or do I need to wait for the new IOS update? (when?)

iPhone 5s, iOS 9

Hi Nick, thanks, yep I had seen that. I was just hoping there may be a better and quicker solution someone had discovered that didn't involve waiting for Apple to release the next IOS update.


Good news is i have fixed the issue on my OP!


I installed a Beta version of IOS 9.1, then restored to backup. It worked! No "slide to upgrade" stuck issue.

Signing up for the Beta program is super easy and the software could be installed via wifi without iTunes.

Still needed to turn off Find My iPhone first, but that wasn't a problem because I actually had a working phone thanks to restoring it to a new phone earlier.
