What You Need:
- A computer with the latest version of iTunes installed
- An Apple USB cable
- Your bricked iPhone
Update iTunes
Ensure that iTunes on your computer is updated to the latest version. This helps avoid any compatibility issues during the unbricking process.
Connect Your iPhone
Connect your bricked iPhone to your computer using the Apple USB cable. It's important to use an official cable or a certified third-party cable to avoid any further issues.
Force Restart Your iPhone
To force restart your iPhone, perform the following:
- **iPhone 8 and later**:
Quickly press and release the Volume Up button, then quickly press and release the Volume Down button. Finally, press and hold the Side button until the recovery mode screen appears.
- **iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus**:
Press and hold both the Volume Down button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time. Keep holding until the recovery mode screen appears.
- **iPhone 6s and earlier**:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Top (or Side) button at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen.
Restore Your iPhone
Once your iPhone is in recovery mode, a window will pop up in iTunes on your computer. You will be given the option to either Update or Restore your iPhone. Click 'Restore'.
**Note**: Restoring your iPhone will erase all data from the device. If you have a backup, you can restore your data after this process.
Wait for the Restore Process
iTunes will now download the software for your iPhone, which can take a few minutes depending on your internet speed. After the software download, iTunes will begin restoring your iPhone. Do not disconnect your iPhone during this process.
After the restore process is complete, your iPhone will restart. Now you can set it up as new or restore from a backup if you have one.
