I’m utilizing an iPhone 13. Yesterday, I acquired an computerized replace immediate for iOS 18.x. I imagine I used to be beforehand on iOS 17, though I didn’t pay shut consideration to the precise model. For the reason that replace was taking some time, I left the cellphone linked 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 laptop icon. I’ve tried pressure restarting it a number of instances, however it retains returning to that display screen. I then linked 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 brand with a progress bar which is caught as proven within the screenshot under:
On prime of that, iTunes retains filling up my disk with short-term recordsdata positioned at C:ProgramDataApple ComputeriTunesiPhone Momentary Information 1 ... 8, which I needed to manually delete to release house.
Is there any method to repair this and restore the cellphone with out dropping my information?
The replace was triggered mechanically, and I didn’t make any handbook modifications. It looks as if a bug with iOS, and now I’m caught and not using a working cellphone.
I additionally observed that the identify of the .ipsw file is just not labeled as iPhone 13. As an alternative, it’s named iPhone14,5_18.5_22F76_Restore.ipsw, which I discovered a bit complicated.
