My iPhone 8 was not updating properly so I asked for help on Apple Support and they told me to reset it so I did but it did not work properly destroying my hardware. Now my iPhone 8 only turns on to the support.apple.com/iPhone/restore and does not want to reset it when I try connecting it with my computer, What can I do to repair it.
iPhone 8, iOS 13
