A little late to the party but I'm seriously SHOOK.[br]

My iPhone 6s got stuck in a recovery mode loop after the battery draining, my home button is also broken so I had pretty much no hope for a successful hard reset. I wanted to avoid restoring and losing data so I tried updating my iPhone through iTunes five times with no success. I came across people having success with booting with inserted lightning headphones and since I don’t have any, I decided to try booting with my regular jack earphones in. [br]

it. worked. No data lost.[br]
