Made a force restart and the device got back to life, with the latest data used before the bootloop, and with the updated IOS of 14.2 instead 13.6.1!
#DRFONE PHONE KEEPS RESTARTING UPDATE#
Only in the end of the update process got on the iPhones' screen a frozen white background with apple logo, but heard notification sounds from the device.
#DRFONE PHONE KEEPS RESTARTING MANUAL#
Used Apple's manual for an Update, was patient though nervous and almost the whole process seemed fine, no error 14 was received. So I stopped using 3Utools, and started using ITUNES (latest version of 12.10.10.2 from ). Tried the same with 3U tools "easy flash" - "retain user data" and got similar message. Tried using 3Utools "iTunes flash" - "retain user data" option with newest IOS 14.2 and got another error with a frightening message ("The drive will be deeply formatted after the reboot to prevent the recovery of drive data").
Read online and was very worried about the potential data loss.įirst tried using 3Utools "iTunes flash" - "retain user data" option with the same IOS installed (13.6.1) but got error 3002 in about 10% of the process. Thought a restart would help, and got into the boot loop situation. Got iPhone XR, IOS 13.6.1, data was backed up only to several months ago.Ĭouple of days ago I've got a notification about full storage, tried to delete several files, applications and videos, but it was not seemed to be actually deleted. Hey, I've got similar storage and bootloop problems but somehow It was fixed successfully. There is a trial option, but I think I will have to pay to use it, which I’m willing to do, but I want to make sure it will work.ĭoes anyone have any experience with these programs, or something similar? Or is there any other way to try and restore the iPhone’s OS without losing data? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as there’s a lot of data that I’d hate to lose… I read about DFU recovery mode, but it seems like that would do a full restore (losing data).Īfter some research I found some programs like: Fonelab, iMyFone D-back, Dr.fone, and Tuneskit.
I also tried to bring the phone to “recovery mode” and I see an option on iTunes that prompts me to either update or restore, but after the update downloads it tells me that it couldn’t update because the “firmware is not compatible”. Force restarting doesn’t help, it just keeps showing the Apple logo after it turns off. It has been stuck in a boot loop since, when it turns on I just see an Apple logo, and sometimes it blinks. I unplugged the phone and all the apps were stuck and wouldn’t open, so I tried restarting the phone. It happened after attempting to back-up the phone using iTunes (the phone’s memory is full), and I got a message that said that there was an error during the backup.
I have an iPhone XR that is stuck in a boot loop.
