iOS 14 Beta 2 bricked my iPhone XS

Any cases of any iPhones getting bricked by updating to iOS 14 as of coming out to the public like not in BETA.

Yes, I upgraded my iphone XSMax to the public iOS14 and it bricked. Trying to restore now following the instructions below.

I have the same experience as Prebrules. I can get it to recovery mode and I can reinstall the OS, but it reinstalls iOS 14. It takes me to the "Hello" screen and lasts about 10 mins before crashing and rebooting.

Clearly iOS14 doesn't work my iPhone XS. I can't figure out how to install iOS 13 from recovery mode. So I think my only option is to wait for a new iOS14 release from apple and then install this through recovery mode.

Any other ideas appreciated.

After spending 10 hours on this, i eventually got it to downgrade to iOS13. What a pain.

I have the same problem, My phone rebooted 20 times and worked

The issue I had isn't with the beta but with the final public release when it was released last week. I took it to a store and they suggested I need a new phone... Even though my device was working completely fine before the update. Anyone know how to downgrade the software to iOS 13?

same issue here with iPhone XS. Spoke to support and told me to bring into store to fix it. Cant downgrade to 13.7 as apple stopped signing it today.

issue is the phone just reboots every few minutes with iOS 14.0 and 14.2 beta.

The same issue with the final public release of iOS 14. I've updated from iOS 13 to iOS 14 a few days ago and everything worked fine until today. For no reason, iPhone(Xs Max) rebooted and went into an infinite boot loop. When trying to restore it(in DFU mode), I get the following error: "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (4013)." Tried multiple times...

Any suggestions?

Same issue happened to me today, I opened facebook app and suddenly my phone got stuck which afterwards led me to an infinite apple logo boot loop, does anyone know if making the cellphone completely discharge would work in order to resolve this issue? Any tips will be appreciated since I live in Costa Rica and our Apple stores do not have the same support as US based ones.

UPDATE: I found this amazing piece of software that resolves more than 150 iPhone issues, including the one we are having! I payed $45 for one month of it, and it worked like magic :) I’m typing this reply right now on my phone, feels good man, look up for Tenorshare ReiBoot Pro

My phone is infinitely bootlooping as well after ios14 install. I have been doing a lot of research on this topic, and think I may be discovering something here. I had my screen replaced at ubreakifix roughly 1 month ago. phone worked great after, just a simple cracked screen that was bothering me. After updating to ios14 I immediately began the infinite bootloop. If I mess with the buttons and hold the screen in a certain spot, I can eventually bypass this and the phone turns on. It will work great, no issues at all even for extended periods. Once I lock the screen, it begins to bootloop again.

I brought it to the genius bar, who were unable to find any issue with the phone (and they cracked it open for me) other than noting that the screen turning on was causing a panic-full analytic error. I then went over to ubreakifix, who were at a loss for words. today, ubreakifix called. another customer had come in, with an iphone 11 (also had a screen replaced recently). They went to install the new ios14 and have begun bootlooping infinitely just like me.


Is it possible that the new ios14 is searching for aftermarket repairs/parts and once identified, causing the phone to panic and crash? I was told by apple support that my only option was to pay them for a repair, as I am out of warranty and "am not allowed to go back to ios13".

Have we lost our right to repair? I am extremely upset with apple right now... so much so that if this is true they have lost a customer for life

I am a computer technician and I am very familiar with iPhone issues. I faced the same issue as the rest of you after updating from IOS 13 to IOS 14. Mine was not a beta version, it was the major release that everyone got. My phone is an iPhone XR and it is brand new. My phone has never been dropped nor has it had any contact with water. It has never been repaired. It does not have charging issues. The board is perfectly fine. IOS 14 has a major issue with it. I was able to track it down to specifically its interaction with Facebook, but I also noticed it dropped the cell phone data connection. I verified that it was not on the host end. The phone still worked on Wifi, but the cell service simply dropping out of no where was very weird. Knowing a restart would normally fix this issue, I decided to restart the phone and the phone stuck in an endless bootloop, with the apple logo. I plugged it into my computer on a most up to date iTunes, with an apple cord. I attempted an update and it failed. I attempted a restore and it failed. It would appear it was a hardware issue but it is not. The next thing I did was visit this form and tried some of the techniques. Nothing seemed to be working for me. The phone got stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. I decided to pay Reiboot Pro 35$ for a one year subscription, at the advice of one of the comments on here. I attempted the take out of recovery mode option first. This option failed. I attempted a restore and this option also failed. I attempted the last option of an advanced restore that deleted all of the phones contents and it worked this time. If you have an iPhone on IOS 14, I suggest that you backup your data to iTunes ASAP. You will need the data to restore the phone to after you wipe it clean with Reiboot Pro. This is an honest review of exactly what I faced and how I fixed it. I do not have any affiliation with the program mentions, but it did work for me. I hope this helps!

I just had a similar problem with upgrading to public release 14.0.1. My issue started when after updating iOS my Face ID stopped working. I have the iPhone XS 256GB and had no issues with the phone prior to the update. After trying to reset the Face ID settings with no luck I decided to power down the phone. After it turned off I turned it on and the boot loop issue started. Took it to VZW store and they could not help. Came home and connected it to my laptop. Once connected to my laptop it booted up successfully. At that point I backed up to iCloud and the performed a full erase and restore from iCloud. Have not experienced the boot loop since but still cannot get Face ID working. Patiently waiting for apple to release a fix.

iPhone XS was boot looping. After reading a lot of forums having to phone calls with Apple and trying to restore on multiple computers I let the phone die. It took about 2 days of me checking it because it does turn off after trying to boot for a long time eventually it turned back on with no issues so try that.

I had the same issue with my 10xs max. The only thing apple could tell me is I needed to pay to repair or replace. After deciding I wouldn’t invest another dime in such faulty products. I went a month without my device. I read and tried the tenorshare reiboot software mentioned in this forum and it rebooted my phone out of recovery mode for free. This malfunction didn’t start until the iOS software update. Please try that before you pay apple they don’t stand by their products or software.
