How to Upgrade Manually to Ubuntu 26.10 "Stonking Stingray"

  With the development cycle for Ubuntu 26.10 officially underway, Canonical has published stonking/snapshot-1 . For early adopters, developers, and enthusiasts looking to ride the absolute edge of the open-source wave, the temptation to jump from the stable shores of 26.04 LTS, Resolute Raccoon, into the development stream is strong. Because the automated release pathways are not populated so early in the cycle, the standard do-release-upgrade -d tool will politely decline to find the new branch. To make the leap, we must step past the guardrails and manage our repository tracking manually. > Important Prerequisite: Upgrading to a day-one snapshot moves your environment into a highly experimental space.

Unbrick Your iPhone Using iTunes


What You Need:

- A computer with the latest version of iTunes installed
- An Apple USB cable
- Your bricked iPhone

Update iTunes

Ensure that iTunes on your computer is updated to the latest version. This helps avoid any compatibility issues during the unbricking process.



Connect Your iPhone

Connect your bricked iPhone to your computer using the Apple USB cable. It's important to use an official cable or a certified third-party cable to avoid any further issues.


Force Restart Your iPhone

To force restart your iPhone, perform the following:

- **iPhone 8 and later**: 
Quickly press and release the Volume Up button, then quickly press and release the Volume Down button. Finally, press and hold the Side button until the recovery mode screen appears.

- **iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus**:
 Press and hold both the Volume Down button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time. Keep holding until the recovery mode screen appears.

- **iPhone 6s and earlier**: 
Press and hold both the Home button and the Top (or Side) button at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen.



Restore Your iPhone

Once your iPhone is in recovery mode, a window will pop up in iTunes on your computer. You will be given the option to either Update or Restore your iPhone. Click 'Restore'.

**Note**: Restoring your iPhone will erase all data from the device. If you have a backup, you can restore your data after this process.

Wait for the Restore Process

iTunes will now download the software for your iPhone, which can take a few minutes depending on your internet speed. After the software download, iTunes will begin restoring your iPhone. Do not disconnect your iPhone during this process.


After the restore process is complete, your iPhone will restart. Now you can set it up as new or restore from a backup if you have one.
