You're unable to select the update option?

does the screen show "plug into iTunes", once you plug in the phone, the option will appear on your PC/Notebook iTunes

Strange, so many running into issues with OTA.
Maybe Apple screwed up with OTA for public release.
I'm changing the title

ya la

i usually OTA one ...


but from 9.0.001 to 9.000002 usually stable

now from 9 to 10
i think more stressful !

Updated successfully on OTA.

If you didn't backup and you're on recovery screen, plug into your comp and use "Update" to get out of the bricked state. You do not need do a full restore. Doing so will wipe all data.

Wait now I'm on the page where the bar is moving after verifying update was shown. What should I see if the installation didn't work?

for previous major update, usually OTA works fines for me
this one seems to break everything, so far like all fail sia

iOS 10.
It should download the iOS 10 IPSW and update from there.

Edit : make sure your iTunes is up to date!
