Managed To Brick iPhone

Wifi calling can be switched off via portal. No idea if this helps but figured it could be worth a try?

I have wifi calling disabled on Vodafone and I still get the boot loop issue.

I'm here at WWDC. Intalled iOS11 on my iPad Air Monday nite. Played with it, plugged it in to recharge. When I woke up in the morning, iPad was down to 40%. I figured that I didn't plug it in all the way. When I finally got back to my room last nite, it was down to 20% with no use during the day. So I tried to work with it plugged into my laptop (MBPr 2016, full config below) and it was not charging. I spent the remaining 20% of power trying to figure out how to get it to charge until it no longer boots. Up until that point I was able to run apps, etc. All it does is show me the dead batter image and sometimes it switches to the Apple (booting?)

Here are some of the things that I've tried to get it to charge:

• Power down/up.
• Complete shut down holding the power & home buttong down.
• Connected Apple original cable to usb ac adapter (hotel room usb, powers my iphone 7p just fine)
• Connected Apple original cable to 3rd party ac adapter (it was charging the iPad just fine before)
• Connect iPad to powered usb-c hub (JuicedSystems)

One thing I haven't been able to try is the Apple usb-c to lightning cable, but I don't have one of those. Hopefully, they'll have one at the WWDC labs that I can try.

Here's my hardware info:

• MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016)
  • macOS Sierra v.10.12.4
  • 16GB ram
  • 256 Flash storage
  • Juiced Systems USB-C powered hub (http://www.juicedsystems.com/BizHUB--USB-C-Multiport-Gigabit-HDMI-Hub_p_46.html)
• iPad Air w/ 126mb ram
  • Previously had of the latest version of iOS 10 (it's not booting so I can't get the exact version/build)
  • Updated to the WWDC iOS11 using iTunes.

I will post a rdar as soon as I can get some free time today.

Out of interest, how many of you that have problems with Vodafone Sim's have an iPhone that is locked to or was originally locked to the Vodafone network, as opposed to having bought a Sim free iPhone and inserted your own Sim card?

:-( That's a shame. just an idea. any hints in the troubleshooting logs?

This was my experience on an iPad Air. It had iOS 10.3.3 developer beta 2 on it.

1. Installed iOS 11 developer beta profile (iOS 10 developer beta profile was already installed)

2. Started OTA Update

3. Plugged in (charger, not computer) so update would install

4. Returned some time later, had white screen stating something like "update will take a few minutes" with an activity indicator

5. Some time later (5 - 10 minutes), realized the activity indicator was frozen and iPad was very warm

6. Restarted by pressing both sleep and home

7. Stuck on Apple logo screen for a few minutes

8. Restarted again, same result

9. Unplugged from charger so I could try to restart and put it in DFU mode

10. Just before I pressed the buttons, the lock screen appeared, so I ended up creating a screen shot of the lock screen.

11. Plugged back in to charger

12. Looked around at new iOS 11 stuff a bit

13. Downloaded Swift Playgrounds (I'm an experienced developer, but I had not tried the Playgrounds app before)

14. Started Playgrounds in Portrait, rotated to Landscape, messed around in Playgrounds a bit, then exited

15. Home screen would not rotate to Portrait

16. Shut down by holding sleep button

17. Powered up, stuck at Apple logo

18. Restarted, same result

19. Plugged in to macBook Pro, iTunes recognized iPad, iPad still at Apple logo

20. Used Option-Click to restore iPad using downloaded iOS 11 beta restore image

21. Set up as new iPad

22. No more problems so far

Note that I didn't try to restore from backup, so I don't know I would have ended up stuck at the Apple logo again or not.

Same issue here on an iPhone 6S with Vodafone UK sim. Will report to Apple.

Anyone on Vodafone with a device that shows the boot loop with SIM card installed they can try getting the base band logs on iOS 11 beta 1? Apple have followed up on my bug report but I'm back on 10.3.2 Instructions here https://developer.apple.com/services-account/download?path=/iOS/iOS_Logs/Baseband_Logging_Instructions.pdf Let me know if you can help

Further profile and logging instructions are here if needed https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/profiles-and-logs/

I have vodaphone, trouble is send feed back but is only is still on beta 10.3. did mention it was 11 though

Yes I tried this, if you have an unlocked phone you can install it with no issue but you have to make sure you remove your simcard before phone restarts, i did this and it worked fine, but as soon as i put the Vodafone sim card back in the phone, the phone become unresponsive, removed the sim card and phone worked again. It is deffinetly somthing to do with Vodafone sim cards.

I take it no-one has vodafone UK working yet? Likely to wait for public beta here as it's my primary device

Reset into DFU mode and restored back to 10.3.2. It took an absolute age and many attempts to get it to stick, but... eventually it did. If you're still stuck persevere. 🙂

If all else fails DFU restore. It's what worked for me. I've decided to hold off for a more stable beta - I don't have enough devices to spare! 😉

I am, and this thread indicates there is an issue with the UK Vodafone Sim and IOS 11. Hopefully, it will be fixed in the next beta. In the meatime, I'm back to the saftey of 10.3. 🙂
