Iphone 6 plus stuck updating

JeanAmos · September 23, 2020

Hey people !

So this iphone a friend of mine gave me to repair, is unable to power on, and if plugged, itunes prompts me to restore/update the phone.

The issue is that it seems to struggle to apply the update and is still unable to boot.

I was just hopping someone might be familiar with this issue, thanks !

Put the iPhone into recovery phone and then try the itunes restore on the software. ALL DATA WILL BE LOST.

I can't get it in recovery no matter how long I press the home and power button, it just turns on and off it's weird

If you like to tinker with things, you can get a pentalobe driver and unscrew the two bottom screws. Then open the device (a guide at iFixit.com can help if you haven't done it before). Use a philips head #000 to unscrew the battery screws and disconnect the battery. Then reconnect--and prompt to boot with home button held down and usb inserted. That will force it to boot into recovery mode.
