Unlock NAND Data for NAND Repair – Fix iPhone X Stuck in Recovery Mode

Today we will share how to fix an iPhone X that is stuck on recovery mode.

Press the power button and the phone is stuck on recovery mode. Then we try to flash the phone. Open 3uTools to flash. The progress bar of flashing appears on the phone and the flashing gets stuck at 20%. An error also appears.

Getting stuck at different progress bar can initially tell us the corresponding repair solution. 11 % with an error and failure to enter recovery mode from DFU indicate that the CPU malfunctions. 13 % with an error means that the connecting port is faulty while 20% with an error always come with a NAND fault. So it can be preliminarily judged that the NAND fault has caused the problem.

Turn on the phone for testing. Since WiFi and Bluetooth addresses are stored on the NAND, and the new NAND doesn’t match the WiFi and Bluetooth addresses on the motherboard, we need to read the data of the original NAND. In the first place, jailbreak the phone.
