Susanne · ‎23-10-2019

Hi, I've just upgraded my iPhone 6s to IOS 11 and it is now stuck in a reboot loop - black screen and apple logo. its been like it since 10 pm last night - Has anyone managed to overcome this?

They will, but it's doubtful that anything not backed up will be saved.
They will just reinstall the firmware to get the phone running.

You need to connect to iTunes in DFU mode and iTunes will sort it out for you..

Hi @MI5 Thanks for your reply. I cant do this without losing data, any other thoughts?

Susanne · ‎24-10-2019

I did but it would have meant I would have lost my data which I am trying to avoid!

@Susanne

After the process completes you will have the oportunity to restore the phone from your latest backup, so if you have been backing up as you should be, you won't lose anything.

That's the problem, I didn't back up before I did the upgrade

MI5 · ‎24-10-2019

Oh dear.....
I can't see any other way of getting it back though.
Is your cloud backup turned on?

Would @Susanne be better off making an appointment at the Apple store or even contacting them?
