"iPhone stuck on attempting data recovery and has boot loop:

———-

Q1. “Everything was enabled on it but it only did up to 5 gb. If I buy it will I have access to all my old things or does the phone need to be working to do that.”

A1. No. Items need to be pre-uploaded. With only 5GB of data, you wouldn’t store much (by today’s standards). A photo can be up to 4MB in size. 1000K photos would be 4GB at max.

Q2. “Is there any alternative ways for the boot loop to stop or to bypass the attempting data recovery?”

A2. Get this Serviced:

Set up a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store. Being an earlier model, this may not be an option. So, you'd have to take this to your local AASP. See (B.) below.

"iPhone stuck on attempting data recovery and has boot loop: I plugged in my phone and then it started restarting every 3 minutes and could barely work. I tried to update it using a pc but it ended up getting having the boot loop on the attempting data recovery screen after it did its update. Is there any way to recover my phone without losing anything on it? It’s a IPhone SE 2nd Gen if that helps"

Getting an iPhone Out of a Boot Loop:

Your iPhone apparently is stuck in a boot loop. And this typically happens when you unsuccessfully download somethings or an update install stalls while in the process.  So, refer to my User Tip: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - User Tip

"It says cannot update and when I press restore that doesn’t work either"
