My iPhone 5s hasn’t turned on at all. Showed no life what so ever. Changed the battery, tried several new chargers. I plugged it into the computer. iTunes popped up for recovery mode. Once iTunes said waiting on iPhone my iPhone turned on showing the apple logo. Wouldn’t go any further than that. Then iTunes showed an error saying it couldn’t recover the phone.
Try holding down the on button and the volume button(s) at the same time when the phone is off. I’m not sure if this works for apple but it worked for my alcatel. If it works you should see the phone’s BIOS where you have a few things you can do without the operating system (this is also how you ROOT your phone). What you’re looking for is the ‘factory reset device’ option. Use the volume up/down to select the option and the power button to use it. This should factory reset your phone. After that your phone should work normally however I can’t guarantee this will work. Good luck.
