How do I get iPhone 7 side buttons to work

How do I get the volume buttons and the sleep/wake button to work. No sound is emitted and the sound button does not change on the screen when I press volume up or volume down. Additionally the sleep/wake button on the other side isn't working.


The sleep wake button and the volume buttons only respond when used for a forced reset.


These problems all started when my phone got stuck in an infinite bootloop. After restoring the phone most of the functions are not working properly.


The phone is factory unlocked and purchased February 2018.

iPhone 7, iOS 11.4.1

Check also: Settings>Sounds&Haptics>Change With Buttons... should be ON (green).


If the issue still persists, reading the troubleshooting steps you already tried, since your iphone is still on warranty (unless you bought it used), I would make an appointment at your most convenient Apple Store or Authorized service provider and have your iP7 inspected. They will give all the available options:

Apple - Find Locations - Location Selector
