After IOS update, iphone 8 stuck in a Boot loop.

Question

After IOS update, iphone 8 stuck in a Boot loop.

Hi, i updated ios to the current version(05/15/2020) and when i checked in to use my iphone 8 again & see if it was done the update, i found it stuck in a Boot loop. i have tried all the trouble shooting i know from google and using itunes to fix it first then third party software(and tried all of them multiple times)

I have gotten some degree of improvement but still have the same problem.

My phone was working fine before this as far as i know... over the last 2 years my phone sometimes turned off and went black with zero phone, button etc... functionality for sometimes 10+ minutes but usually no more then 1 minute, then would turn on without any prompts/action from me with the grayish screen with turning loading circle in middle and then go to passcode screen and phone would be fine after that(until it happened again)

I didn't think anything of it cause i know these things happen without cause for concern cause of a glitch usually but now that my phone is having the boot loop problem that i cant fix, i'm worried maybe there was a hardware problem that was never diagnosed like a lose or broken connection.(or worse like a malfunctioning/broken part)

Thank you axel for replying but i already exhausted all available options(including what you suggested) this post was so hopefully someone could tell me what the problem might be because there has to be someone here that had a similar /same problem that was found to be hardware issue and can tell me what piece of hardware is/can broken/not connected etc,,,

i want this post to also serve as a record of this problem.

i am not covered by apples warranty and will not contact them for repair considering the level of repair service quality and value they offer is not adequate (to put it politely)
