Quickly press and release the UP button

Quickly press and release the DOWN button

Hold the Side button in for about 20 seconds while you ignore the "slider" if it appears. Keep holding the SIDE button until the Apple logo appears in the center of the screen, then release


If you try this a few times with no luck, there is likely a hardware problem with the phone. Make an appointment at the Apple Store / Genius Bar or take the phone to authorized Apple service shop.
