iPhone 8 stuck in boot loop

Hello. I just got back my stolen iPhone 8. It has been gone for about 6 months. I got the device back and attempted to power it on, However it gets stuck in a bootloop. I also attempted to use iTunes mode but it doesn't communicate with my MacBook. And as soon as I unplug it, it quits booting up and will not do anything unless connected to power

Try the following twice. After that the phone is probably beyond repair.

Logo Bootloop

see the process below, using the Update option if possible.

Work all through it. There are several stages.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

There is no guarantee you can save any data since your last backup if you need to use the Restore option.
