iPhone 12 - stuck apple logo, full storage

[aztec123]

Hi guys,

After 2 days of trying all internet suggestions, and "paid" ? thirdparty software, i've surrender to the help of this forum.

the issue is simple, but everyone is trying to complicate it.

the phone has no storage space, so any attemps to update via recoverymode are absurd.

software i've tried: 3uTools, EaseUS MobiSaver, ReiBoot, TunesKit iOS System Recovery, iMazing, with no luck.

always in widnwos pc, tried, win10/win11 pc, 2 types of lightning cables, uninstall itunes, re install it, update it...

am i missing something??

posible solutions i've tried to find are: make a full copy of the iphone on my pc, clone it somehow, and the last one as my last resort is restore it to factory, and try any software to recover deleted photos/videos

You’ve got to unload all your pictures and videos to free up space.
Delete most apps (they can be downloaded from the App Store again)

You need to put the phone into DFU mode, not recovery mode.

DFU mode is to restore to factory, it will not give me the option to update iOs, or any other solution with out erase all my data.

You have no choice. You say your phone is stuck at the Apple logo, and recovery mode doesn't work. You've tried multiple third party programs, none of which have worked.

DFU is your only hope ever to use that phone again.

You have backups, right?

no backup... that why i'm hoping for a miracle solution

There is no miracle. You are going to lose all your personal data on that phone when you do DFU mode.

Damn, you’re right but, not so harsh please ?

Sorry, Apple ran out of magic years ago, so please don’t hope for miracles with their devices or software.
DFU is your only option left, sorry.

no miracle, if you got no backup that’s your own fault. restore to factory seems to be your only option

Have you tried connecting to iTunes on your PC? If there it connects!! Otherwise, nothing but have to do the restore setting!

Now that someone has ripped the band aid off, hopefully you also format and clean install your computer as well. You've installed a bunch of junk software with at minimum, lots of spyware.
