Hi, i’m having trouble. My son done an update on this iphone 5s and it stopped half way and then went off. Now when i turn it on, the apple sign comes up and then goes out after 20 seconds. Hard reset don’t work as it still does the same and itunes can’t locate it now when i try to restore it
You probably “soft bricked” your phone. If like you said the phone died in the middle of an update the software may have been corrupted causing the phone to not boot up correctly. You should still be able to put your phone into DFU mode and restore your device. Here are the steps listed on iFixit: Connect the device to a computer using a USB cable.Hold down both the Home button and Lock button.After 8 seconds, release the Lock button while continuing to hold down the Home button.If the Apple logo appears, the Lock button was held down for too long.Nothing will be displayed on the screen when the device is in DFU mode. If open, iTunes will alert you that a device was detected in recovery mode.If your device shows a screen telling you to connect the device to iTunes, retry these steps.
