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 ✅.
2️⃣ Fixing Boot Loop on Android
2.1 ⚡ Force Restart
- Hold Power + Volume Down for 10–20 seconds.
- Phone should restart normally if it was a temporary glitch.
2.2 🔧 Boot into Safe Mode
- Hold Power → When logo appears, hold Volume Down.
- If device boots in Safe Mode → Uninstall recent apps causing conflicts.
2.3 🛠 Wipe Cache Partition
- Turn off phone → Hold Power + Volume Up (varies by model).
- Select Recovery Mode.
- Use volume keys → Select Wipe cache partition.
2.4 💾 Factory Reset (Last Resort)
- Boot into Recovery Mode.
- Select Wipe data / Factory reset.
- ⚠️ This erases all data, but often fixes persistent boot loops.
2.5 🔄 Flash Stock Firmware
3️⃣ Fixing Boot Loop on iPhone
3.1 ⚡ Force Restart
- iPhone 8 or later: Press Volume Up → Volume Down → Hold Side button until Apple logo.
- iPhone 7/7 Plus: Hold Volume Down + Sleep/Wake.
- iPhone 6s or earlier: Hold Home + Sleep/Wake.
3.2 💻 Update via iTunes / Finder
- Connect iPhone to PC/Mac.
- Open iTunes (Windows/macOS Mojave or earlier) or Finder (macOS Catalina+).
- Select your device → Click Update (not Restore) to reinstall iOS without erasing data.
3.3 🛠 Recovery Mode Restore
- Put iPhone in Recovery Mode (depends on model).
- iTunes/Finder detects it → Choose Restore if update fails.
- ⚠️ Restoring erases all data but can break the boot loop.
3.4 🔧 DFU Mode Restore
DFU (Device Firmware Update) reinstalls iOS at the lowest level:
- Connect iPhone to computer.
