components inside your iPhone might have been damaged, affecting how the hardware mechanisms work
together in powering up your phone and running the system components in it.
B. Your iPhone device has been jailbroken
Jailbreaking an iPhone means you’re removing or disabling all restrictions implemented by iOS 10 to the
device, allowing your phone to be “free” so you can maximize its use such as installing free apps and changing
the tools, themes, and app icons. If you have jailbroken your iPhone, some essential settings might have
changed that possibly contributed to the red screen issue. Jailbreaking, in the rst place, is risky, so you must
already be aware that this one can cause such issue to happen.

If the red screen issue is happening but it’s not stopping you to use your iPhone, you can restore its factory
settings (/ios-data-recovery/recover- les-after-factory-reset.html) and have a fresh start in using your

downloaded rmware or to download it straight from the browser. Once done, click the “Select” button to
initiate the iOS system repair or recovery process.
Step 5: Downloading and Repairing
After verifying the specs of your phone, FoneDog toolkit will start downloading the rmware package that’s
