Searching...

[Anonymous]

I started doing the ios8.1 update but cancelled it as i was at work and since then my signal just says searching... and i cant get any messages or internet coverage. I have tried resetting and swtiching off and on again and i have also switched air plane mode on and off again but its still not fixed.

Any help would be grateful!

At what point did you cancel the update?  The download or install stage?

Good question raised here - If during install you will have to connect to iTunes to repair the OS.

If you interrupted the update it just pauses u till you hook back up to iTunes or connect to wifi for the OTA avenue of updating.

If you have a local Apple Store then either pop in and see a specialist or book an Apple Store Genius Bar appointment as suggested / or see a guru at your most local O2 high street shop.

Also try Settings , General , Reset , Reset Network Settings.

A half installed update like this can do really freaky things.

Assuming it's not in the mode where it graphically tells you to connect it to iTunes, I'd to a full factory reset on it and either restore from a backup via iTunes or set it up as a new phone and simply sync it via iTunes to get most of your stuff back.

If connecting to iTunes doesn't fix it I suggest you contact Apple directly.
