I’m utilizing an iPhone 13. Yesterday, I obtained an automated replace immediate for iOS 18.x. I consider I used to be beforehand on iOS 17, though I didn’t pay shut consideration to the precise model. Because the replace was taking some time, I left the cellphone related to a charger and stepped away for a bit.
After I got here again, the cellphone was caught on the black restore display screen displaying the cable and pc icon. I’ve tried pressure restarting it a number of instances, nevertheless it retains returning to that display screen. I then related it to iTunes (model 12.13.7.1 on Home windows 10) and used the "Replace" choice. Sadly, the replace fails after about 10 to fifteen minutes. After failed "Replace", at the moment iPhone is solely displaying the Apple emblem with a progress bar which is caught as proven within the screenshot beneath:
On high of that, iTunes retains filling up my disk with momentary information positioned at C:ProgramDataApple ComputeriTunesiPhone Short-term Information 1 ... 8, which I needed to manually delete to unencumber house.
Is there any approach to repair this and restore the cellphone with out dropping my information?
The replace was triggered routinely, and I didn’t make any guide adjustments. It looks like a bug with iOS, and now I’m caught and not using a working cellphone.
I additionally observed that the title of the .ipsw file isn’t labeled as iPhone 13. As a substitute, it’s named iPhone14,5_18.5_22F76_Restore.ipsw, which I discovered a bit complicated.
