My iPhone 5 isn't working after upgrading to iOS 7?

Yesterday I upgraded to iOS 7 from a torrent. I used UDIDs and everything. When I finished upgrading, my phone showed a blank(white) screen with a 1/2 inch black stripe in the middle. Now it won't turn on or off and iTunes won't detect/recognize my phone. I have a 2011 MacBook Pro that is running OS X Lion. What can I do?

You may have just turned your iPhone into a brick.

iOS 7 is not scheduled to be released until this fall. What you may have downloaded at best was a Beta version of it, at worse complete garbage released by some person who is getting off thinking of all the poor people who are sitting like you with a dead iOS device because of them.

What can you do? My advice is to drop the phone in the toilet and take it to the Apple store. They're more likely to be willing to work with you on getting you a new one if they think you had an accident as opposed to doing something as risky as downloading a new iOS that is not out for the world to see yet.

Nothing you just said has any value.
