Nothing is more frustrating than the iPhone boot loop-the endless restarting merry-go-round that leaves a person suspended in limbo with their own frustration. But, lo and behold, there really is a solution. We take you through how to work around such issues and how to restore your iPhone to work the way it did before.
Understanding the Issue
It is very crucial to understand the root cause of the problem before one embarks on the journey to recovery. Boot loops frequently result after a software update has gone wrong, misguided attempts at jailbreaking, or interrupting the process of updating, whereby the iPhone is held hostage in a perpetual cycle of rebooting and teasingly showing the Apple logo, only to sink into oblivion over and over again.
