customer brought phone in, i noticed a red sensor by the top front camera,
water damaged, so i cleaned the motherboard with iso alchohol, and let it dry after about 10 restores it finally went through, i noticed people said it has to do with the camera, however i tried both connected and disconnected, finally at the end i plugged everything back in place and put screws back in
tried 2 more times and it finally went through, took about 45 minutes for a restore.
