What to do if my iPhone stuck in boot loop won't restore? (Windows 11)
My iPhone is stuck in a boot loop recently, repeatedly showing the Apple logo and then restarting, and I can't get into the system at all. I'm using a Windows 11 computer, and I tried restoring it wi...
Yeah, I've had that happen before—it’s usually a system issue, not hardware. iTunes can be useless in this case, but Fixppo saved me by fixing the boot loop without wiping my data—definitely worth a try!

Good luck!
When your iPhone is stuck in a boot loop, sometimes a forced restart alone won't help. If you've tried these methods and they didn't work, here are some more things you can try:
- DFU mode: A little more powerful than recovery mode, entering DFU mode (Device Firmware Update mode) allows iTunes to completely reinstall the system. It's done in much the same way as recovery mode, except the screen will remain black and you'll restore the system using iTunes.
- Remove your SIM card: Sometimes a SIM card can cause a boot loop, especially if a carrier-related update fails. Try removing your SIM card and restarting your phone to see if you can boot it back up.
- Check the charging port: If you're experiencing a poor connection on your phone or dust in the charging port that's causing unstable current, this can also cause a boot loop. Clean the charging port or try using a different charging cable.
- Boot in safe mode: While the iPhone doesn't have a traditional safe mode like Android does, sometimes you can try holding down the volume button while booting to see if you can disable some startup items that might be caused by an app.
