Hi everyone, I was restoring my iPhone 6 and all was going perfectly. Just at the end it was installing the firmware when my stupid laptop just shut itself down. When I rebooted the install had failed and sent my iPhone into recovery mode. I’ve tried restoring it again but it gets to the Apple logo and doesn’t do anything. The computer just says “waiting for iPhone” I’ve even tried 3utools to exit recovery mode and tried flashing it too. My computer picks up the phone in recovery mode but once it starts booting it’s just frozen. I’ve tried dfu mode too and it didn’t make a difference, Any suggestions? Thanks
Do you get an error message in iTunes? Sometimes you have to leave it connected for a long time before you get one. My concern is that the NAND (memory chip) may have become corrupted. I know you have tried several troubleshooting steps but I’ll list my normal steps for the benefit of anyone else who finds this answer. Pay particular attention to the ones in bold: Try a hard reset (Home & Power button for 10 secs)Use a genuine Apple Lightning connectorUse a genuine Apple charging brick and let it charge overnightTry to connect it to different computers (mac/pc if possible) with an updated iTunesPut the phone in recovery mode (search DFU Mode). Careful, this can reset your data Use 3uTools for putting it in and out of Recovery ModeUse 3uTools to flash the firmware (you can’t downgrade)Check the condition of all the flexes (with magnification)Disconnect the Front Camera Ribbon from the logic board and reboot your phoneDisconnect the screen assembly completely and see if iTunes will recognize the phone.
