iPhone 5s wont stop boot looping

So my iPhone 5s keeps repeating the apple startup logo over and over again and never fully boots. The logo will come on for about 15 seconds and then go off for 2 or 3. Once and awhile instead of just going black, the screen will turn red with lines and stuff then return to the apple logo. I used to be able to turn it off by holding the home and power button down for 2 cycles, but now I can't even do that. I also noticed that it started to loop the low power screen, and that when you shake the phone it feels like the insides are loose. Its been this way for a wile and I need my phone back. Plz help

Okay it's not a problem. It sounds like you opened the iPhone yourself (and possibly took the iPhone to an unauthorized repair place to get a repair), so it is highly likely that Apple won't service that iPhone anymore. If so. the best option is to get an out of warranty replacement.

All repairs should be done by Apple themselves, or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Taken from Apple's Website under "Other services":

Not all issues are repairable. If your iPhone has catastrophic damage from an accident or it’s inoperable after unauthorized modifications, you might need to buy a replacement.

sorry i havent replied till now. So i tryed the stuff in the link and taken it to phone repair places, taken a look insided for myself (the loose insides turned out to just be no adhesive on battery), web searching, talking to apple themselves, just about everything. I really dont want to have to go to an apple store because its far away and its really expensive. The device is recognizable to a computer, but it just dosnt stay on long enough to do anything with it. I just need a way to force it to stay on for longer so i can restore. Any way to do that?
