📱 Phone Stuck on Boot Loop


💡 Fixing Android & iPhone Boot Loops Step-by-Step

A phone stuck in a boot loop keeps restarting endlessly and never loads properly. This can happen on both Android and iPhone due to software errors, failed updates, or corrupted system files 🔄📵. This guide provides step-by-step fixes, advanced tools, and pro tips to restore your device safely.

1️⃣ Initial Checks

  • Charge your phone – Low battery can trigger restart loops.
  • Remove accessories – Unplug headphones, battery cases, or docks.
  • Soft restart – Hold the Power button for 10–20 seconds.
  • Update via PC/Mac – Connect to iTunes/Finder (iPhone) or OEM software (Android) if possible.
💡 Sometimes a simple force restart is enough to break a minor boot loop ✅.
