iPhone 7 Keeps On Flashing Black Screen And Power On Screen

My iPhone 7 suddenly started to flash the power on screen (white one with the apple logo) and the black screen. It just keeps going in a "reboot loop". It's like my phone is trying to power up, but there might be a software bug or something. I've also tried to connect it to iTunes, and my computer doesn't even recognize the phone. Also, I've tried to hard reset my phone (holding down the power button and volume down button) but the phone just keeps flashing the screens in a loop. Please help!

iPhone 7, iOS 11.4

Hi

Turn iPhone off Make sure your pc is running the latest iTunes 12.7.5 or later.

Connect lead to USB on your pc Press just the power button down on iPhone don't let go Connect lead to iPhone keep power button pressed down until pc sees iPhone Then wait for restore you may need to do this more than once Before it works.

If you still have a problem make an appointment at Apple store or authorised apple repairer.

Cheers

Dear it can be relate with the battery or software also. So what you will do, first just try to update your phone using iTunes and see if problem has been solved. Not then


-> Try to restore but remember at these stage your all data will be erased from phone and you also have to remember your Apple ID and password for unlock an iPhone.


-> still if not then it is related with hardware. Then please visit an Apple Store.

Thank you for supplying an error code.


Error code 4013 is often associated with hardware issues,

If you are shown this error, it's very likely that your Mac is having trouble

connecting with the phone itself; This fact allows us to narrow down the things

that could be causing the problems!


some of the things you should account for are:

- USB Ports may be broken (use a different computer, or different port)

- Cable itself may be broken (use a different cable)

- Internal damage to the iPhone (charging port possibly)

(Basically anything that the connection between the two is depending on)


If you mind confirming this for me;

On the top bar of iTunes a progress indicator that states the current action being executed

such as, "Extracting Software", "Preparing iPhone for restore" and much more

should appear when attempting to update or restore your iPhone.

Do you mind sharing the last message atop that little section before the error occurs?



Edit: If things such as changing cable and ports don't work, then it's highly likely that the problem is within the interiors of your very phone; Water could create an effect similar to what you're experiencing.

Hey!

So, I plugged my iPhone into my Mac (with a lightning cord) and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. My Mac says it cannot update or restore because of error "4013". I have tried troubleshooting options for this error (changing computers, changing lightning cables, etc.) but nothing has worked! My phone is still stuck in recovery mode, any suggestions??
