iPhone Stuck on Apple Logo: How to Fix

Solution #1: Restart Your iPhone

The simplest way—only if it works– to fix this issue is to restart your iPhone. Just press and hold on the ON/OFF button and slide to power off.

This little trick does the trick in resolving this problem on a few occasions. But if it fails to troubleshoot the problem, continue with the further solutions.

DFU (Device Firmware Update) enables your device to communicate with iTunes even without activating bootloader. Even better, it lets you iPhone to restore from any stage. Give it a try as well to get rid of the problem.

Step #1. Fire up iTunes on your computer. Then, you need to connect your iPhone to your computer.

When your device turns off, you need to hold down the on/off button for 3 seconds.

After the 3 seconds, you have to start pressing the Home button while still holding on the ON/OFF button. On your iPhone 7/7 Plus, you need to press the volume down button along with the ON?OFF button.

Make sure to hold both the buttons for 10 seconds. Then, leave the power ON/OFF button but keep holding the Home button. (volume down button on iPhone 7/7 Plus)

Step #3. If the screen of your device remains black and doesn’t display anything, it means you have successfully entered DFU mode.

Note: If you see the Apple logo or Connect to iTunes prompt, it means you are not in DFU Mode. You will have to repeat the process from step 1.

Step #4. You should see a popup window in iTunes. It will prompt you to restore your device. You have the option to restore your iPhone to factory settings or restore from a previous backup.
