Hey guys, not sure if I just got lucky or not.. here is what I did:
1). With aftermarket cable plugged in (lightening cable to six in my example)
2). I held power + circle to force reboot.
3). Upon recovery I instantly went into Settings > Power and turned on “Power Save” mode.
4). With my cable still plugged in, went to iTunes and music is playing for the last 30min.
GOOD LUCK. hope this helps.
