iOS "stuck" while erasing I recently decided to start off with a fresh install of iOS due to my springboard crashing often and everything being messed up. I went to Settings &gt; General &gt; Reset to reset the device, and it started out OK. Currently, it's been sitting with the spinner icon (The one you get when you power down) for over half an hour with no progress. Is this normal? If not, what should I do? I have an iPhone 5s, 32 GB storage, but only about 6 GB is actually used. The spinner icon isn't frozen, it's still moving.
This should not happen. What you can do is, press and hold the home and power key for 10 seconds. The device will enter recovery mode and now you can connect to itunes and install the iOS operating system from scratch.
