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 with iTunes, but iTunes can't connect to the phone at all, and I can't do anything. Is this a system problem or a hardware failure? Has anyone encountered a similar situation and know how to solve it? Now my phone is completely paralyzed, and I'm really anxious. Please help!
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!

Once my iPhone was stuck in a boot loop, which gave me a headache. I tried to force it into recovery mode. I turned off my phone, then held down the power button and volume down button. After about ten seconds, an icon for connecting to iTunes appeared on the screen.
At this time, I quickly plugged my phone into the computer, opened iTunes, and finally recognized the device! The next step was to choose to restore the system. Although the entire recovery process took a long time, the iPhone finally restarted and the problem was solved. If you also encounter this kind of boot loop problem, you might as well try this method, which is quite effective.

Thank for your reply, I totally understand how you feel. Being stuck in a boot loop is really frustrating! Your recovery mode method seems to be quite reliable. I have also encountered a similar situation. However, I couldn't connect to iTunes at that time, which made me speechless. After seeing your method, I feel that I have to try to enter recovery mode again. It seems that this step is still the key! Your phone has returned to normal. Have you encountered similar problems?
DanielRomero What did you do when this issue came out? It is a common problem during iOS upgrade. Kindly force restart the iPhone and check if your iPhone is still stuck on boot loop and won't restore from previous state.
