- →Hardware failure (NAND chip issues)
- →Logic board damage from physical impact
- →Corrupted baseband firmware
⚠️ Warning: Do NOT Do This
Many people's first instinct is to restore through iTunes or Finder — but this will ERASE ALL DATA permanently.

- ✗Do NOT update iOS while stuck in a loop
Our Recovery Process
Assessment
We assess whether the issue is software or hardware-based to determine the best recovery approach.
Software Extraction
For software-related boot loops, we attempt direct extraction using compatible recovery protocols.
Chip-Level Recovery
For hardware-based issues, we extract the NAND chip and read data directly using specialised equipment.
Data Delivery
Recovered data is verified and delivered on encrypted media or via secure download.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my iPhone stuck on the Apple logo?
An iPhone stuck on the Apple logo is usually caused by a corrupted iOS update, a failed jailbreak, hardware failure, or software conflicts. The phone's bootloader cannot complete the startup process and loops back to the Apple logo.
Will I lose data if I try to restore my iPhone through iTunes?
A standard DFU restore through iTunes WILL erase all data on the device. Never restore your device through iTunes if you need to preserve your data — contact us first for a data recovery assessment.
Can data be recovered without fixing the stuck Apple logo?
Yes. We use chip-level extraction techniques that allow us to access your data directly from the memory chip without needing to resolve the boot issue. We focus on data recovery, not device repair.
How long does recovery from an Apple logo boot loop take?
These cases typically take 3–5 business days. If the issue is software-related, we may be able to extract data using iTunes-compatible tools. Hardware-related cases require chip-level extraction and may take longer.
