1st gen SE cannot boot

The Apple logo seems only.

I tried to hard reset and change the battery, but the same.

The iTunes cannot recognize the mobile (it seems in the PC's hardware list if I hold the home and power buttons)

How can I upload the firmware via USB in that case?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

How do I fix an old Ipad stuck with the apple logo My old iPad is stuck on the boot screen with tha apple logo. No matter what i do "press and hold the top button" etc. the iPad only reboots to the Apple logo. when connected to the Macbook, the IPad is in the "system report under USB-devices. However the iPad is not to be found in finder. As Itunes is no longer supported by my Macbook, it is not possible to recover the iPad. It is an old iPad with sentimental content, hence the effort to restore it.

2021 IPad Pro device bricked by OS update I made the mistake of starting allowing an OS update on my 2021 iPad Pro and the screen went black and stayed that way (not off, if the lights are out you could see it dimly glowing. Now my iPad Pros is a digital photo frame that only knows how to display a photo of the apple logo. I have tried: rebooting (get the apple logo), using the up/down volume buttons then pressing start until it reboots (get the apple logo) letting the battery drain then recharging then rebooting (get the apple logo) connecting the iPad to my Mac to try to fix it from there (Finder doesn't see it, iTunes no longer exists) I have a support appointment but seems I am probably headed for a reset and having to reinstall everything, losing all custom settings in my apps. Is there any solution for this? It happens every.single.time. I allow an OS update. My iPad Pro is only 2 years old, that seems early even for Apple to start bricking it to force another purchase.

Hi there.

if your computer doesn’t see your iPhone is connected, you can connect your iPhone via a different port or use an alternate usb cable. This resource includes additional troubleshooting steps as well: If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

if you’re still unable to restore your iPhone it may need to be serviced. Contact Apple to help you determine your options.

Good luck!
