I had the same issue, got stuck while update the device. I suggest, press the power button along with the round button on the panel. let the device restart, and you are good to go. I got mine to work this way.

I've found the only reliable way to restore my iPhone is to 1. make sure you have extra room on your computers main harddrive for the iTunes backup of your phone, for my 4s the backup can take up as much as 57gb on my hard drive 2. back you phone up with iTunes, it will ask you, would you like to transfer apps, press yes 3. unplug phone and turn it off 4. hold home button while plugging it back in until you see the itunes logo 5. restore phone to factory settings, this will also update the phone 6. once complete, select and restore from previous backup !! Its important always make sure you have extra hard drive space on your computer and also on the ios device itself, it doesn't need much but it cannot be over capacity, this will cause it to fail. I hope this is helpful.

Just did the update on my iPad. This time, unlike with my phone, it went smoothly. I did get my phone fully restored from iCloud backup, but it took about 5 hours. Glad that's over.

Good going! I may make a stab at it if it went successfully for you.

Restoring from iCloud and time remaining is increasing as it goes. Now that makes no sense at all. I suppose in a while it'll say it's going to be a year before it's done restoring the settings, let alone anything beyond that.

The update hosed my never- been jailbroken phone. I don't think it's bricked but if it had been jailbroken it probably would have been ruined beyond recovery. No way I'm groin near a jailbreak.

You probably didn't do the steps correctly

I did the same steps as always when updating. First time it went so wrong. I think I'll not update my iPad until IOS 8, where at least it will be an update worth spending 12 hours to a day restoring everything.
