Hi there, just curious which iOS you were using on your phone at the time when you got error 1110? I also have an iPhone 11 Pro that's boot looping due to full storage and am hesitant to plug it into iTunes to figure out the error code because I've heard that could corrupt my data. However I know I was using an older iOS - I think 13.4, so I suspect I'm dealing with error 14 as I've only heard of error 1110 on newer operating systems like iOS 15.
Gotcha, thanks! That's what I'm starting to gather. Going to give 3utools a try first and see if this is in fact error 14.
This may be a dumb question, but just confirming that in order to try any of these fixes the iPhone must be in recovery mode first right? Mine is still on a continuous, but slow boot loop. I'd hesitated to put it in recovery mode because a data recovery specialist told me that that would automatically wipe my data, but it seems like they'd have to do the same thing, and as long as I don't plug my phone into iTunes & use 3utools instead, it may not automatically wipe all of my data.
Putting your device in recovery mode won’t wipe your data. Choosing the recover option in iTunes/Finder will.
Another posy on Reddit also mentioned letting your device boot loop til it boots normally, DO NOT unlock the phone, then find another phone to call your device to enter settings for deleting apps will bring it back to life. You can check it in the comments:
My device booted normally for once, before I saw this solution.
Cool, that's what I thought, thanks! I saw that mention of the phone possibly booting normally, however I tried that numerous times maybe 10 hours into boot looping and it didn't work. It's been looping for days & is now dead as that was seemingly the only way to get it to turn off. Same recovery tech told me to stop trying to hard restart it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ While I haven't looked at it constantly, I haven't noticed it boot regularly yet. Might charge it back up and try to get it to boot normally again and if not, try 3utools. Thanks again! Glad you were able to get your error 1110 fixed.
I’ll just re-post what I wrote on Reddit.

TLDR:
[https://www.mfcbox.com/blog/about-i...m/blog/about-itunes-1110-error-repair-by-mfc)
This paid software actually saved me from boot looping, despite it looks scammy.
Detailed steps:
1. Purchase "1 Year iMFC function Activation", follow the instruction from the product page to activate your account
2. Follow the instruction from here: [https://www.mfcbox.com//blog/about-.../blog/about-itunes-1110-error-repair-by-mfc/)
3. If the first flash resulted in an Apple logo with a \~1% progress bar under it that stucks for a long time, force reset and enter recovery mode and flash again. Mine work in the second flash
4. You should see the iOS being flashed and after it, your phone should boot with white background and prompting for data recovery. It's ok to unplug now. Things should be OK til this point, just wait for it recover all the data and the long-missed homescreen should appear after that.

My story:
My iPhone 11 running iOS 14.x was bricked few days ago, right after I purchased a new iPhone 13 pro and attempting to transfer from the old to new. I got like 13xGB of photos and videos, and since I adopted a kitten in June, a huge chunk of them are pictures of it growing from a kitten to a cat.
Tried leaving it to boot for two days, it had booted successfully once but I haven't read the solution in this post so I just tried to delete some app and it became dead again.
Tried to flash new iOS via Finder and 3uTools as suggested in [https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-related-error-14-on-iphone-x-256gb.2292829/), gets error 1110.
Tried even buying Reiboot as they claim to fix the full storage boot loop issue but that just flashes a new iOS like any other free tools, and obviously didn't work.
In the Mac Rumours post I saw a comment that claims to solve error 1110. I wasn't down to that originally as I've already scammed by Reiboot. But after some thoughts on the bed, I noticed that they're the first saying being able to solve error 1110 (which is newly introduced in iOS 15). I decided to get up and give it a shot.
Despite it costs $80 and they host their software in Google Drive, and Google Drive even alerts me for virus found in their software, I still paid and downloaded as I was so desperate and I’m using Bootcamp anyways so worst case I’ll just wipe that partition.
The first flash left me with an error
[
and an Apple logo on my iPhone and a \~1% progress bar under it that doesn't seem to move.
[
Since I'm from Hong Kong and I can speak Mandarin, I just called them to see if I should wait or what (or that I fell into another scam). They answered the phone after two beeps and told me if I can't exit recovery mode with their toolbox, simply hard-reboot, enter recovery mode again and flash again.
The iOS was flashed successfully on the second try, I was prompted with this screen on my iPhone
[
And the rest is straightforward: Wait for data recovery til it reboots into normal lock screen, delete some apps to free \~10GBs and transfer to my new phone.
Hope this helps someone with their precious data!

You mean choosing "Restore" will wipe device in Recovery mode? It is fine if I choose "update" right? My data will still be there?
Same thing happened to my XS 512 GB iOS 14.8 with some approx 300 MB of free space. So anyone else succeeded to exit the bootloop / error 1110 with 14.X iOS with the new MFC solution? They mention iOS 15 in the description page and I wonder if it is working the same with 14.X? Hopefully more and more people who saw their important data suddenly unavailable will get their phones back
Wow that’s a very detailed walkthrough of how you managed to solve the issue, thanks!
Actually I’m from HK too (yay), but I didn’t call their tech support. Instead I emailed them with my log files. The MFC team responded me quite promptly but sadly so far I’m still stuck. When going back to 3utools, it now says that there’s an error code 9. Guess I need to try other methods…
Try installing the update thru iTunes, go on recover mode and click "update". Change the cable, update itunes, etc.
You are right - after completing the repair function in MFC tools, I tried updating the iOS in iTunes. And voilà my phone is back to life finally! Now I’m backing up the photos.
Glad it worked man! 3u tools never worked? How long was your phone bricked for? What OS version did you choose? How did you fix the error 9, just by using itunes?
Guys were your computer also acting up with virus detection when installing MFC Tool?
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!!

that's not virus, just because some antiviruses still don't support the Taggant System and show false positives , so don't worry
