Error 14, can't exit Recovery

I have a problem with my iPhone 6s+.

It started when my phone started to be slow. I rebooted it, and it got stuck in boot loop (apple logo). I then tried to put in in Recovery Mode and update it via Mac/PC (It did not have the latest iOS). The upgrade failed halfway through with Error 14. I then opened the iPhone and disconnected the LCD etc., but still Error 14 when trying to upgrade. Now it is stuck in Recovery Mode.


Any idea what to do? I would hope not to lose my data, if possible…

At this point in time the only solution would be a restore as the error 14 usually means your NAND is full or corrupt. There have been some cases I have seen where faulty parts or IC has caused this but that is extremely rare.

The apple operating systems get larger in size for every update so if you have a lot of data on your phone and it hasn’t been updated for a while this problem will occur.

All as Apple have to do is leave a signed skeleton IOS for this situation but they never will. I always advise people who encounter this problem and haven’t backed up there data to put there passcode and phone in a draw as I know people are working on a solution for this error.

@imicrosoldering

Thank you for that information, Chris!

Before I did the initial reboot I checked the free space and is was about 800 mb if I remember correctly, so your assumption could be very much possible!

Do you know anything about the timeframe for that workaround (weeks or months or years...)? I would then weigh, the loss of data against not being able to use the phone for that period of time...

Thank you again!

@cryptomaniac I think it will be a long time coming unless Apple addresses the issue.
