Chosen Solution
I’m having issues with my iPhone X. When I try switch it on ordinarily, not plugged in or anything it shows the screen that prompts you to plug the phone in to charge. When plugged in the phone goes to the screen which shows the iphone is plugged in but low charge. It then displays the apple logo for about 5 seconds, then goes black, then goes to the low charge screen again. It keeps repeating this no matter how long its on charge for. I’ve tried putting the phone into DFU mode by pressing the volume up bottom, then the volume down button then the power button it then goes to the restore screen where it asks to plug it into itunes. Itunes doesn’t detect the phone at all, was expecting it to prompt me to restore and update like it normal does. Have been thinking about replacing the battery to see if that’s the issue as it doesn’t seem to be taking charge at all Any help would be massively appreciated Update (09/22/2019)
Hi everyone, the situation has now advanced in a good way! I disconnected the battery, disconnected the screen and then connected the battery back up. Pressed up, then down then held the sleep key and to be shock it detected the phone! From here I restored the phone and updated to IOS 13. I’ve now got to the welcome stage of the phone on iTunes however when I connect the screen back up it goes back into a boot loop! The screen appears to be the issue here I recon. Should I just get a new screen? I’ve checked the connections on the motherboard and they seem okay no visible damage or dust in there. Not too sure what to do
Replacing the battery would be a good first step to try and solve the problem. Also, the reason you’re having issues with DFU mode is because by the sounds of things you’re not in DFU mode in the first place. To enter DFU mode follow these steps: Plug your phone into your computer with iTunes openPress and release the Volume Up buttonPress and release the Volume Down buttonPress and hold the Sleep/Wake button until your phone’s screen goes blackPress and hold both the Volume Down and the Sleep/Wake button for 5 secondsRelease the Sleep/Wake button while continuing to hold down the Volume Down buttonAfter about 5 seconds iTunes should detect an iPhone in recovery mode You can be sure you’re in DFU mode if iTunes detects your phone in recovery mode and your phone screen is black. If your phone shows anything other than a black screen, try following the steps again. Hope this helps!
did you ever solve this? mine is doing the same but when I get to ‘restore iphone’ on itunes, it wil complete tehn my phone goes back to bootloop
Remove the charging flex and power on iPhone,Sometime this faults happen throw the vibrator side.
Just fixed one with this pb today, it comes from the part on top of the screen (responsible for face id, speaker for calls, and light control, don’t know the name in English, in French it’s what we call “visio”. You have to replace it to stop the bootloop (normally less expensive than a battery and much less than a screen). Note that you will lose the face id, but your phone won’t be locked in bootloop. Hope it helps
Just disconnect ear piece/face id and see if phone boots. That is what i did to narrow it down to the face id/ear piece flex cable
Disconnect ear phone/Face ID cable and see if it boots
