Chosen Solution
I keep trying to restore my iPhone X with iTunes and receive an error 56 every time. I have updated to the latest iTunes, tried different computers, new lightning cable , and closed all programs except for iTunes. I see there is software sold on the internet such as “dr fone” that claims to fix this problem. I’ve read this is probably a hardware issue. The phone just stays stuck on the recovery screen. I have also tried to put the phone in dfu mode and tried to restore with no success. I consider my phone permanently dead and willing to experiment on it to try to bring it back to life. Any thoughts on how I should approach this problem. Thx.
My thoughts are that this should be brought to the attention of Apple. If you have access to an Apple Store, bring it in and have them check out the phone because if you do have a hardware issue, let them make it right. Don’t waste your money on software that will probably not help.
The apple official has some solutions. Mayby you can have a try. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204770
