I recently installed the iOS 14 Public on my iPhone XS which bricked my device. It went into an infinite boot loop. Then I went to recovery mode and reinstalled iOS14. Now it starts, takes me to the "Hello" screen and stays alive for about 10 minutes. Then it reboots.

Is there a way to fall back to iOS13 from recovery mode?

This happened to me as well. iPhone Xs (Model no.: MT9H2QL/A), iOS version 14.0.

Suddenly the device went to black screen with the spinning boot thing on the screen nothing else. It was stuck in that loop all day, until I could get back home and connect it to my Mac and reset the device.

I see from the forums that this issue was present in the iOS 14 beta. But looks like they have not been able to fix it in the Public 14.0 version either.

@sheepdog1963 It seems that we are having the same issue. Any chance you were able to downgrade to iOS13? If so, how?

Any idea who at Apple I send the bill to for bricking my iPhone XS with iOS 14.1? We had to pay off the phone before we could buy a new one that would work. I would like my $200+ back and Apple can have this POS brick they created.

My iPhone 7 had been working totally fine but the update bricked it. Worse, it can't update, it can't restore, and Apple tells me it's a logic board issue.

I keep getting error codes like 4013, 3194 and 2003 (which doesn't even exist). Deeply frustrating.

No need to worry guys, happened to me, no matter the phone, iOS 14.x public release will most likely brick xs max and Xr devices, took mine to geek squad and basically the same night that my phone updated my device got super hot and fried the CPU(did a circuit test with a Genius Bar), apple claims it isn’t their fault, 199 through asurion insurance or 599 from apple, or upgrade, no defect or recall so enjoy :) (I did insurance because iPhone 12’s are on backorder) but that’s also not apples fault ;)
