Reset iphone 8

I'm trying to reset my iphone 8. I did the reset and the phone has been frozen with the apple logo on the screen with a small amount of progress in the bar for hours. I can't access it on my computer through itunes because I can't grant verification. What do I do?

Hi Matrix0523,


Given the iPhone has been stuck at the Apple logo for an extended period of time, we'd recommend the steps from the following resource: If your iPhone won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support


"If your iPhone turns on but gets stuck during start up

If you see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen during startup, try these steps:

  1. Connect your iPhone to a computer. On a Mac with macOS Catalina, open the Finder. On a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier, or on a PC, open iTunes. Find out which macOS your Mac is using.
  2. Select your iPhone on your computer.
  3. While your iPhone is connected, follow these steps:
  • On your iPhone 8 or later, including iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation): Press and quickly release the volume up button. Press and quickly release the volume down button. Then press and hold the side button.

    • An animation of an iPhone with arrows pointing to the volume up button, then to the volume down button, and then to the side button.
  • On your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold the side button and volume down button at the same time.
  • An iPhone with arrows pointing to the volume down button and the side button.
    • On your iPhone 6s or earlier, including iPhone SE (1st generation): Press and hold both the Home button and the side button or the top button at the same time.
  1. Keep holding the buttons until you see the recovery mode screen.
  2. An iPhone showing the recovery mode screen.
  3. When you get the option to restore or update, choose Update.
  4. A Finder window showing a prompt with the choice to update or restore your iPhone. Update is selected.
  5. Your computer will download the software for your device. If it takes more than 15 minutes, your device will exit recovery mode. Repeat steps 2-4."


Should you still be unable to finish downloading and setting up iOS at that point, let us know what specifically happens or changes.


Cheers!
