what can i do to fix my brick phone
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015)
You will need to supply details of what has happened, which phone, which iOS and what methods you have tried so far before anyone can give you advice.
Thanks

Did you set the system date back to 1970? If so, start here:
Can we guess that you are regretting setting the time/date to 1970?
If so, your best bet is to have an independent repair shop help you disconnect/reconnect your battery. This will solve the 1970's bug in just a few minutes.
If your phone is an in-warranty phone, then you might want to seek help from Apple to insure that your in warranty status stays valid.
An out of warranty phone that is seen by an independent repair shop has the potential of voiding your option for out of warranty replacement at Apple down the road (i.e. turn in your phone, and buy a refurbished phone from Apple). Although I have never seen this happen, and certainly not for something as simple as a battery disconnect/reconnect.
I guess if you don't go into Apple Stores you would not have seen this happen. But we have many reports of people with Error 53 being told this.
How do you locate a good independent repair shop?

Which bricking method did you use.
there is solution. It can be done.
Good
Tell us how.
I fell for this trick as well but I have a solution to fixing it without having to bring it to a store, or even taking your phone apart!
1. The first thing you have to do is to put it into DFU mode and if you don't know how to do that it is quite simple just google it!
2. Restore your phone with iTunes by plugging it into the computer (would suggest making sure your iTunes is up to date).
3. This part is IMPORTANT! You're phone is going to look like it is restoring but it really isn't (because it's bricked). Once you see the loading bar that tells you that it's going through the process of restoring... UNPLUG YOUR PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER AND LET IT DIE OUT COMPLETELY!
4. Leave your phone unplugged and LET IT DIE OUT COMPLETELY. (this process seems strange but it works).
5. Now that it's dead..charge it with a wall charger. The restoring bar will appear but it's not actually restoring because your phone isn't connected to the computer (obviously),
6. This may even take a few hours but after a while your phone should be charged and functioning.
1.first charge the phone on wall charger.
2. then connect to the PC/system.
3. Hold the HOME button and LOCK button for a while.
4. There appears a ITUNES logo.
5. It ask to whether restore or upgrade. proceed further by choosing restore.
6. Keep patience it will work surely try more number of times same way.
I have got it done same way. it took me two days and 10 to 15 attempts. (yes it works)
Very most important "APPLE" showroom is least bothered to help, They just say your phone is dead.
good luck.
