Can ReiBoot really fix iPhone stuck in recovery mode?

My iPhone 13 is stuck in recovery mode after the latest update. I’ve tried restarting it multiple times, but it doesn’t seem to work.


I recently came across a tool called ReiBoot, which claims to fix issues like this without data loss. Before I try it, I’m wondering if there are other effective methods to solve this problem.


Would appreciate any expert advice or suggestions!

Hi, here are some options you can try.

  1. Have you tried a force restart? If not, here’s how:
  • For iPhone 8 or later: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button, then the Volume Down button. Hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears.
  • For iPhone 7/7 Plus: Hold the Volume Down and Side buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
  • For iPhone 6s or earlier: Hold the Home and Power buttons together until the Apple logo appears.

If your iPhone won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support (HK)

2. Connect your iPhone to iTunes.

  • iTunes will prompt a window. First, select Update to keep your data.
  • If Update doesn’t work, choose Restore. Note: Restore will erase all data on your iPhone.

Also, I’ve tried ReiBoot before—it works for most cases. Still, I recommend trying iTunes first and reaching out to Apple Support for help.
