I more or less successfully updated my phone to ios 6.1.3Įnough to make it call home, not enough to boot into springboard.īut he also told me that he can do nothing to help me out that my user-data is already lost and cannot be recovered. (maybe unsigned?)īut to my research it's the latest OTA for ios5 (which I was running) and the one necessary to step up further to 7,8 and now 9. No ios 6 is still being signed for my device still it's there. He said my phone is running ios 6.1.3, which was the first thing I didn't understand. So I called apple support and talked to a nice guy (really!) I tried to kick it out of recovery mode using whatever tool I could find (an older tinyumbrella, recboot, redsn0w even libimobiledevice for lower level access.)Īnd all failed to fully boot my device so that I can finally back it up properly. the progressbar completed and it rebooted. I mean it's an OTA update, if that'd erase your data, apple wouldn't sell a second device ever. Nothing I could do about it - I thought - so I waited for it to complete. (the biggest mistake!)Īt least my phone immediately powered down (no warning, no confirmation no nothing.)Īnd it rebooted with that frightening progressbar 😟 I must have hit that "update now" button.
TINYUMBRELLA FETCH OTA UPDATE
So, i opened up the software update page in ios looking for a button to delete pending ios updates.Īnd in an attempt to scroll down. so I wondered what's necessary of that and hat could be dropped.Ī bit of googling around and someone mentioned that ota updates are automatically downloaded when connected to a WiFi and plugged in to charge. Sure thing, that's not how backups work.Īnyways, I've seen ~20Gigs of "other data" stored to my phone in iTunes. Hoping that'd allow me to complete the new one. So first thing I did was to delete the "older" backup I had. I ran out of disc space and I couldn't back it up properly Prior it's always a good idea to back it up, right? Now, a few weeks ago my powerbutton lost it's tactile feedback (still working) and -well- I thought it might be time to open it up and replace the button. No display repair, no new battery, no screwdriver ever came close to my pentalopes and no jailbreak was installed. I never updated or jailbroken my phone, it's been "untouched"since it left the factory (came with and stayed on ios5.0) My phone (4s 64GB) is stuck in a recovery loop and I urgently need to back it up
