Apple Logo Looping in iphone X after several trials and problems with Quick Start to sync to new iphone 12 pro
I got an iPhone 12 pro (128GB) 4 days ago and have been trying since to use Quick assist to migrate my data from an iPhone X (256GB). I covered the issues faced there in another post (filled my iPhone x space to force the photo optimization which otherwise doesn't happen unless you are running out of space, so that my photos would get compressed from 100GB to 7GB locally on the phone). While on the old phone the photos took 7GB and i made the quick start from phone to phone, in the new phone a .i ran out of space as photos seemed to take 100GB b. i got constantly 1% mention on photos iCloud not allowing me to optimize the memory settings c. i was blocked from deleting photos or apps. I contacted Apple Support, was asked to erase my new phone - tried several times and repeated Quick assist, and then had to do so through iTunes. What happened next? My iphone X is now looping the apple logo - which is suspiciously close to the whole syncing exercise and updating to iOS 14.4. I tried the different steps including reset/update which do not work, similar to the iTunes practical erasing of all data. Not sure what else there is to do, but I see a close correlation of these two things, and I am beyond underwhelmed with what is going on. Anyone faced several issues/any ideas on what to do? Meanwhile, the new phone got erased through iTunes and still shows the 1 % (while indicating apps and data are downloading in background - which may or may not change the 1% indication). Any thoughts and shared experiences most appreciated!
iPhone X, iOS 14
