• When detected iPhone in Recovery Mode, iTunes will ask whether to Restore or Update. Of course, since iOS 11 beta is the newest update already, let’s click Restore here. Note that it will perform a factory setting and erase all media and data from your iPhone.

Method 3: Try DFU Mode to Solve iPhone Stuck During iOS 11 Update


Should neither solution works, you can execute DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode to get rid of iPhone bricked Apple logo loop. It allows iOS device to interface with iTunes without loading the operating system or let’s say, the bootloader. Here is what to do:

• Still, begin by connecting iPhone with iTunes on your computer.
• Shut down your device completely. Then hold the power button for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds passed, press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home button for about 10 seconds (If you own an iPhone 7 or newer iPhone, the combination is Volume Down and Home button). Release the On/Off button but continue holding Home button on iPhone 6s earlier or Volume Down on iPhone 7 or later.
Please refer to below illustrated guide if you didn’t get the words.





• If the screen stays black, it means you have successfully entered DFU mode, and if anything showed, like Apple logo, Connect to iTunes prompt, you will need to try again.
• Restore iPhone from frozen white Apple logo with iTunes. Same as what you did in method 2.
