Feb 16, 2016 5:28 AMby manikandanraj007,you can just restore using iTunes ,force switch off the iPhone by pressing the sleep and the home button together and just leave the sleep button when the screen goes off for 5 seconds. Now connect to the phone with the computer running a updated version of iTunes and press the home and sleep buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds or till when you see a iTunes symbol on your iPhone. Then restore your software . When you do this you again get the phone into the bootloop. it successfully restores till the last but at last when the iPhone restarts and the progress bar is 0 because of the infinite bootloop. To just overcome it download the iMazing app and just launch it . Now disconnect and reconnect the iPhone and the progress bar starts working and your iPhone becomes alive. This one worked for me. I'm using iPhone 5S.

Clearly Apple must do something!
Perhaps insist on their customers passing a simple IQ test before a sale is allowed?
Only one question required: If you read something on the internet that says "Do x because it's really cool" is your response A) Let me do some research on that, B) That's the stupidest thing I've heard this week so, no. or C) Whoa, cool, dude! I'm going to do that as soon as I finish charging my iPhone in the microwave.

I know, right! Best feature of iOS 8! Shame it doesn't work after you update to iOS 9.
Disclaimer: Do not put your iPhone in the microwave. This was a hoax and an obvious joke.
