Hello everyone,

Today I got an error on WhatsApp that there is no space left. I checked the Storage and saw that 110 Gb were free on my device.
So I had the great idea to reboot the device and now I'm stuck in a boot loop.

I don't want to loose any data (specially WhatsApp) and for that reason I have not restored it from scratch. I am trying to use 3uTools to flash a new Firmware (beta version downloaded directly over the 3u app) and when I try to flash it I get:

Network request failed, Apple server has closed this iOS version flash authentication.
ERROR: TSS request failed (status 69)
ERROR: Unable to request SHSH

Any clue on what else I could try out before erasing the phone? Thanks!
 
I was able to fix it.

I re installed the 3uTools app (latest version supporting iPhone 15 Models), placed the Phone in Recovery Mode.
Once it was detected by the computer I went to the Smart Flash Tab, clicked on Easy Flash.

Here I downloaded the latest available version from IPSW. And imported it to the tool.

On Easy Flash I selected the option "Fix Flash" instead of Retain Users Data.
It took about 3 minutes to flash and then the iPhone rebooted into a white screen that showed:
Attempting to restore user data

This took another 10 minutes and then the phone just started as normal, all the data was there.
