Stuck in boot loop

"There are a number of things that can be wrong, starting with software corruption AND/or hardware failure.

What everybody here is saying: you must first try to restore from DFU.

1/ Disconnect the front camera, leave it off.

2/ Connect a known good battery. Known good, not necessarily new.

3/ Connect screen (LCD + touch connectors only).

4/ Connect home button.

5/ Connect to computer. Turn on iTunes.

- Restore from DFU:

6/ Press and hold Power Button for 2 seconds.

7/ Keep holding Power Button and now press and hold Home Button.

8/ Keep holding both buttons for 15 seconds.

9/ Release Power Button only.

10/ Keep pressing Home Button for another 12-15 seconds.

Do you see a black screen on the iPhone and on iTunes the message ""iPhone in restore mode detected?"" If yes, click on restore.

If not, report back for other steps."

Have you tried restoring or updating the iPhone through iTunes? You will need to get the phone into recovery mode in order to do so.

Restore or upgrade your iPhone. We are not sure the situation is caused by hardware or software.

The only thing I can think of to fix this might be factory reseting my phone, but I forgot the restrictions password I had set, and it won't let me reset it without the restrictions password. Any, and all help would be appreciated.

Hey @saltyfawn310030 if you put your phone in DFU mode you can reset the phone and as long as you remember your iCloud password (assuming the device is logged into an Apple ID) you’ll be able to get back into the phone and effectively reset it and the restrictions passcode.

What a full of bolony the solutions people give.. i had the exact problem and what worked wass dfu mode exept it wont give you errors like something with cable, have to use genuine, a very small thing interrupted the restore blablabla apple thats what apple is best at they sell you an highly over priced phone thats basicslly useless with their customer service basically having NO knowledge on trouble shooting their product. Take my advice use 3utools i even used a chinese cable knockoff and it restored flowlessly after a week of no sleep looking for fixes via that primitive itunes imazing dr.fone etc. And 3utools can download you firmwares like how torrent engines do check the file for corruption before the files are combined.
