Hi. So I just got my iPhone 6 tonight, and my person that helped me setup the phone told me about iOS 9 beta. Wanted to give it a try, so I installed the profile, and tried to install it. I simply shut my phone off into sleep mode, turned it back on like 5 minutes later and it hasn't moved. So I clicked it back off and waited. An hot later, it still said 49 seconds remaining. I figured I wasn't workin so I deleted the profile. I did a hard reset , and now it is stuck with the "Update Requested" lettering and the setting wheel spinning. Really scared that I can't fix it and won't be able to get iOS 9 for real on Wednesday! PLEASE HELP ME!!
PLEASE HELP! Super important iOS 9 Beta!!!
Don't worry 🙂
Even if your phone was nearly bricked, you could still get onto iOS 9 after Wednesday by restoring through iTunes and I guess wiping it won't be such a big deal because you only just got it.
Anyway things are nowhere near that bad yet. Select Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage. If you see the iOS 9 beta there then select it and delete.
Max.
Thanks but It is not in Manage Storage. Will I just have to wipe my phone and try the beta again?
I suggest you forget about the beta - in a few days you'll have iOS 9.0 without having to worry about betas. If you want to be guaranteed to be able to OTA update to iOS 9 on Wednesday then restoring to iOS 8.4.1 now will do that for you. At least then it will be over with and you can get on with using your phone. I'll posts steps on how to do that if you need?
I'll forget about the beta, but I just tried resetting all phone settings. I looked and it still said "Update Requesting". I already upgraded to 8.4.1 when I got the phone this afternoon.
If you are already on 8.4.1 then you should be able to do Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings. Then your phone should be back to how it was this afternoon before the beta.
Let me know if this fixes it for you.
When I got the phone, they transferred my contacts. Won't erasing the data get rid of them? I need them? And I can't back up to a computer right now.
If you don't have your contacts synced to an internet account (like gmail for example), then you should do that. Otherwise if you phone ever gets lost or broken and you don't have a backup then they're all gone.
Also you can do an iCloud backup now without a computer. Do you know how to do that?
Not really... Lol
Settings > iCloud > Backup > On
Cant get on my wifi tho. Gonna have wait till I can do that. It will be before Wednesday
Okay. Let us know how you get on 🙂
I will! Thank you so much for your time and info!
