Iphone 4s stuck on searching for update

He accidentally updated over wifi update to ios 8. I decided to jailbreak but came to know there is no jailbreak available for 8. Read an article about jailbreaking 8. So i updated to ios 8. Tried restoring from Recovery mode and also from DFU mode. I am now totally out of luck. Any idea???? I noticed last time when phone was on 8.

Update It will sound funny but some other places I heard about this trick and work for me like a charm on first attempt. I was in office and tried another trick which suddenly came in mind as a last resort. Switched Air conditioner ON at 18C Least temperature , turned air swings flap at 90 degree angle downward to the chair where iphone placed on top of chair. Kept that stuff about 15 minutes with powered off iphone.

That's all folks. Like 0. Try downloading the ipsw for your device to your computer, DFU mode - and point iTunes to the downloaded ipsw to restore. Thanks for your reply.

I got resolved described issue. I don't "personally" advocate placing your iPhone in a freezer because as I see it, simply turning it off and then leaving it off for a while will in and of itself cause the device to cool.

I've done mor restores than. Care to count and not once did I ever need to freeze my iPhone, even the few and rare times the restore process stalled or at least appeared to have stalled. I simply waited a few minutes and then restarted the process. All was well afterwards.

The Bottom Line

The best place to start is this: go to Settings, turn off Cellular, and then turn it on again. There is a chance the no service issue will be gone, and you will use your device normally. To restart your iPhone 4s, hold the lock button for a couple of seconds.

The restart often successfully solves all kinds of bugs, including this one. Removing the SIM card, and placing it back again can often help.

If that is the case, contact your carrier, because that may be the reason why the device is searching for a service. Navigate to Settings, General, and click on About. If there is an update, download and install it. Click on Settings, General, Reset, and choose Reset network settings option. Keep in mind this action will delete saved Wi-Fi passwords, Bluetooth and other settings.
