data recovery cannot be completed. Please restore your IPhone from backup. I tried to change my password and once I did, the screen went black and then requested I put my passcode in again. I did and then my phone went to a white screen with "Data recovery cannot be completed. Please restore your IPhone from backup." I tried everything I've seen suggested in videos and chat forums and nothing is fixing the issue. The white screen with that code stays on my phone till I turn it back off.

iPhone X - Attempted data recovery failed I am trying to gain access to my old iPhone X again. After failing to input the correct PIN too many times the iPhone deactivated. I thought, while I was locked out of the phone, I would update it via iTunes and put it into recovery mode and selected the update option on my PC. It updated the phone to iOS 16.7. Now my iPhone is stuck on attempting data recovery and it fails over and over again. I've tried force restarting it and doing the update through iTunes again but to no avail. Factory resetting the phone is not an option for me since there is important data on it. After updating the iPhone it locks me out for an hour before it prompts me to attempt data recovery. Is it possible that during that hour the connection to the PC gets cut? Is being plugged into iTunes important for it to be successful? Is there any way for me to repair this? It could be possible that the storage capacity might me an issue, since I think it was quite full when I stopped using it. Is there maybe a way to undo the update through iTunes or something? Please help me if you can!

If you can not input a passcode then there is no way you can access any data from the iPhone.
