Iphone 11 stuck on Restore/Recovery mode and fails (restarts) when Restoring.

Iphone 11.

Having continuous restarts suddenly. Decided to restore from recovery mode.

Did typical steps of Volume UP. DOWN. HOLD SIDE BUTTON.

Now in Recovery mode.

Connected to MacBook Pro, selected first Updating then Restoring. In both cases, when the process was 50% of the bar, iPhone 11 restarts again into Recovery Mode (Stuck in there). Tried also in DFU mode (black screen) but exactly same process after selecting Restore.

Not being able to even restart iPhone 11 again to its normal functionality, so it absolutely useless now.

Please, I need help.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Hi jdopico2,

We appreciate you reaching out to us.

We’d like to confirm some details that may help us be in a better position to assist you.

Did you use the same steps below to reinstall iOS on your device?

"On your Mac, make sure that you've installed the latest software updates (including iTunes if you have MacOS Mojave or earlier). Or on your Windows PC, make sure that you've installed the latest version of iTunes.
Make sure that your device is still connected to your computer. You should see this message: "There's a problem with the [your device name] that requires it to be updated or restored."
Click Update (not Restore) to reinstall iOS or iPadOS and keep your personal data. Don't disconnect your device from your computer until the update finishes."

If you didn't see an error message, but you still see the Restore screen, please use the "contact Apple Support" link in the article below.

If you see the Restore screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Take care!
