Don't upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 or you may experience “no service”

40 points by greenwalls 12y ago

Many users are reporting on Twitter that it causes "No Service" and Touch ID to stop working. Do a search for iOS 8.0.1 on Twitter to confirm.

  Neither is working. Some speculation that it is an OTA issue. AT&T rep told me to try to redo update through iTunes. Requires downloading the .ipsw. I'm giving that a try now. Hopefully they will have a more sensible fix out soon.

  I seruously doubt either of those worked for "some users." Just an impression grab.

Seems like it's hitting primarily iPhone 6 users. https://twitter.com/jsnell/status/514830848374214656 https://twitter.com/jsnell/status/514830848374214656

Upgraded, everything works just fine. T-Mobile.

  I'm guessing not an iPhone 6 or 6+?

    Correct, iPhone 5s.

This isn't a problem on Android because you never get an update.

  It's true... so many locked phones are frozen in time. I had to go out of my way to buy a phone that offers OS upgrades over time.

  One of the reasons I switched to an iPhone. Got tired of blowing money on a new phone to get an OS update.

Anyone with a problem iPhone 6/6+ on 8.0.1 want to dump the apple system log (asl) to see what's going on?

I just confirmed that re-applying the 8.0.1 ipsw through iTunes fixes the issue. Sounds like something is wrong with the OTA.

I had this issue and was able to fix it: I did an OTA update (iPhone 6, AT&T) and experienced this issue. Touch ID wasn't working and "No Service" on the phone. I tried hard resets and resetting the SIM card, with no success. I was able to fix the issue by downloading the iOS 8.0.1 ipsw from the developer site, then connecting the phone to iTunes, holding down option while clicking on update, and selecting the 8.0.1 ipsw. Phone redid update through iTunes (not OTA) and when it restarted, all was fixed. Not sure how non-developers can get the .ipsw file. Not sure how I would explain how to do this to, say, my mother. Hopefully there is a more sensible/easy fix that comes out soon.

  Dev site still shows 8.0 though? Edit: Appears to have been pulled.

Apple has now pulled 8.0.1 - There is no option to update on device any longer.
