By No. 7, do you mean DFU Mode? If not, try it.

Note:

”If you fail to see the “iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes” message, start the process over again and follow the directions closely. The steps are obviously sort of unusual, and following them exactly is necessary in order to properly enter DFU mode.

If the iPhone screen turns on, or you see an Apple logo or iTunes logo on the display of iPhone, then the iPhone XS, XR, or XS Max is not in DFU mode and you need to start over.”

I had that happen on my iPhone 13 Pro. Over the course of two days (that I noticed) my phone would stay on SOS mode. The problem was the tower that was closest to me, and apparently the only one my phone could connect, was broken. It took Verizon three days to repair the tower.

Go to a different location several miles from your current location. That will eliminate the cell signal. My wife's phone would get a weak signal in the upstairs portion of the house, my location in the lower level, a partial basement, received no signal.
