iPhone SE 2020 stuck in reboot loop.

I bought my iPhone SE 2020 about 2 months ago and it has been working fine until now.

I tried to restart it however, it got stuck on the apple logo and keeps rebooting itself. I tried doing a hard reset myself and that didn’t work. I also put it into recovery mode but it wouldn’t let me update or even restore it from iTunes on my laptop. The phone has now shut itself off.

What do I do to get it to work again?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

I left the phone alone for a few days and I eventually tried restoring it again using iTunes on my pc. It took quite a few tries but I eventually got it to restore properly.

Make sure that iTunes is updated to the latest version on your laptop. Also, shut down your computer and then turn it back on before you try to restore it.


I contacted apple support as well and they told me to follow the instructions for iPhone 8 in this guide: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263
