Today, I was installing the official 3.0 firmware update for my iPhone. Apple's authentication servers crashed. I now own an iBrick. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I bought my first iPhone. Today, I broke my first iPhone. FML
Today, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. FML
Today, at the Apple Store, the crew, security, manager, technician, and fellow customers alike, never bothered covering up to laugh at me when I went there to have my phone fixed. Someone somehow hacked my iPhone, and when I use the Face ID, it makes a bloodcurdling scream of fear in full volume, then shuts down. FML
Today, I went to the Apple store to try and figure out what's going on with my iPhone. After an hour of speaking to three different geniuses and waiting around, their solution was to "Google it." FML
Today, my parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. FML
Today, my iPhone got back from being fixed. When I opened the box there was a note attached to my phone that said, "All you had to do was turn it on." FML
Today, my history teacher confiscated my iPhone. She dropped it on the way back to her desk, and I now have a shattered iPhone screen to fix. FML
Today, after calling the insurance plan for my new iPhone a "huge waste of money", I promptly dropped it in the store while trying to put it into my pocket, cracking the screen. FML
Today, I gave my little brother my iPhone so he could play a game. I soon forgot about it, and when I got it back two hours later, there was pudding and a couple of big cracks in it. FML
Today, my new iPhone was stolen from my school locker. After canceling my service, sobbing, having my mom yell at the secretary for their lack of security and finally agreeing to change to a private school, I found it in the corner of my locker. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

put your iphone into DFU mode, then boot it with 1clickboot.

That happened with my Ipod touch when I was jail breaking it. Just go onto youtube and there is a million tutorials on how to unbrick your iphone/ipod touch. You got to reset it though. thats the only bad part.

You really didn't expect this. The 2.0 did the same thing and you can just reconnect and it will authenticate. YDI for thinking this is an FML

umm Wow I like htc and nokia phones better than anything else... Not a den of either apple or blackberry And i prefer pc over mac Just cuz it lets you do more stuff and is compatible with a lot more things But apple has it charms as well Not everyone fits in the same shoes ppl which is why have so many options So chill ppl Its not a ******* big deal And op ... Fyl . . . It must have felt horrible You were thinking that it would become better but instead ... Its became a brick Its saddening And ppl who say this is not ******... This website is not meant for something seriously ******. It say "share you every day onenrutoate moments and other funny fails" This post fits the criteria So puts being such bitches

Just put your phone into DFU mode by holding the home and sleep button, when the phone shuts off you keep holding the home button and press the sleep button for 10 seconds and boom! You should be in DFU mode, than just connect to iTunes and restore :)
