Iphone X stuck in a boot loop

It all started when i dropped my phone in the pool. I was gonna change a song, and i accidentally dropped my phone in the water. It was in there for maybe 2 seconds before i got it out. Once i got it out of the pool it shut down. I thought it shut down as a safety mechanism. Couple minutes later it turns back on. After using it for a couple more minutes it decided to shut down on me again.


Trying to turn it back on, it got stuck in a boot loop. This threw me back to the jailbreak days. Usually the best way to fix a boot loop is to just restore the phone to factory settings. I connected the phone to iTunes and tried restoring/updating it. The restore procedure was a success, however the phone is still stuck in a boot loop.


Everything I've done with the phone has resulted in a boot loop. Restoring it to factory settings via iTunes failed, vol + vol- hold power didn't work either. Charging it doesn't help.


Not sure how this can just happen to the X especially because apple claims its water resistant up to 3 ft deep for 30 minutes. Sadly i didn't have a back up of the phone so I lost all my data and I have to go back using my old iPhone 6. I remember a couple years when the 6 was really quick, now its turning into a fossil.


If anyone has any suggestions, im open to them. I'm not sure if there is a warranty on it, maybe if it comes included wit At&t. And i don't want to buy a new phone rn.

iPhone X, iOS 13

Try to put the device in dfu mode by press and release volume + - button then press and hold the power button until the display going black and then press volume- and power button together after 5 seconds release the power button connect the cable to your computer or laptop see the device is into dfu mode and then restore or update the latest iOS version hopefully it’s working I’m tested on my iPhone X
