- 1-Click to Enter/Exit Recovery Mode Free
- PC or MAC required
The main reason why your iPhone is stuck on the Apple logo or infinite bootloop is because something went wrong during its startup routine. In most cases, the software is to blame but there are also some instances wherein a bad component (hardware damage) is causing the same trouble. If hardware damage is the root-cause, then service would be necessary. Software-related stuck problems on the iPhone can be due to faulty updates, failed restores and data transfers from a computer to the iPhone. Failed data transfer or iOS restore due to security software, defective USB cables, and faulty USB ports cause the system to get corrupted and that’s when your device gets stuck and couldn’t complete the startup. The same thing can happen when you jailbreak your iPhone and the jailbreak process failed or was not completed.

First solution: Force your iPhone 8 to restart.
A force restart usually helps if the problem is not that complex and the system is not yet totally corrupted. It is a simulated battery removal procedure that is similar to a soft reset only that it’s done using the hardware keys. This does not affect any of your iPhone data so there is no need to worry of data loss in the process. There’s a new way to do a forced to restart your iPhone 8. And here’s how it’s done now:- Press and quickly release the Volume Up button.
- Then press and quickly release the Volume Down button.
- Finally, press and hold the Side/Power button for a few seconds or until the Apple logo appears.
Second solution: Use iTunes to update software or restore iOS on a computer.
Using recovery mode to restore your iPhone is the next possible solution to consider if a forced restart failed to fix the problem. It might a more serious software error that needs more advanced solution. In order to get started, you will need to secure a computer (Windows PC or Mac) with the latest version of iTunes software installed. Then proceed with these steps whenever you’re all set:- Connect your iPhone to a computer using the Apple-supplied USB connector or Lightning cable.
- Open iTunes on your computer.
- While your device is connected, force it to restart and enter recovery mode with these steps:
- Press and quickly release the Volume Up button.
- Press and quickly release the Volume Down button.
- Then press and hold the Side/Power button until the Recovery Mode screen appears. Do not release the Power button when you see the Apple logo as you’ll need to enter recovery mode.
- If prompted with the option to Update or Restore, select Update. Doing so allows iTunes to reinstall iOS without wiping your iPhone data.
Third solution: Restore your iPhone in DFU mode.
If your iPhone is not fixed by a recovery mode update and restore then your last best hope would be a DFU mode restore. It’s the deepest type of system restore you can do on your iPhone. Apple technicians often used this method to fix complex software problems that caused the iPhone to act weird or stop working properly. DFU or Device Firmware Upgrade mode is different from the usual recovery mode. It allows your device to interact with iTunes without loading the operating system. In order to get started, you will need to secure a computer with the latest iTunes software installed. Then follow these steps to perform a DFU mode restore on your iPhone 8:- Close any apps or programs on your computer, then open iTunes.
- With your iPhone turned off, connect it to the computer using the original USB connector or Lightning cable.
- Press and hold the Side/Power button on your iPhone for about 3 seconds.
- While holding down the Side/Power button, press and hold the Volume Down button. Keep holding both buttons for 10 seconds more.
- If the Apple logo appears, it means you’ve held the buttons too long and that you need to start all over.
- Release the Side/Power button but keep holding the Volume Down button for another 5 seconds.
