Restoring goes in a loop

Hello, I desperately need some help. Today i opened my phone to look at my broken power/lock button. i was really carefull, and followed every step of the Ifixit guide. When i closed my phone and tried to turn it on, i needed to restore it. when I was finished restoring it, Itunes told me that i needed to restore it again, like nothing had happend. i've now done this over and over again, but just the same thing happens.

Can anyone help me?!??!

I will be greatfull for every advice!

What happens with hard reset---power button plus home button for 10seconds?

If power button isn't working, disconnect battery, wait a minute, connect again, then prompt phone to boot by plugging in ac charger

Nothing happens. I still need to restore as before...

any other idea?

Is it normal to need a restore after opening your phone?

Two thoughts. 1.) take apart your phone and disconnect home button flex and try again. The 'need to restore' symbol is called recovery mode and is prompted by booting with the home button pressed. Maybe it 'thinks' its being pressed.

2.) you can restore the part of the phone that says you need to restore. To do this, you have to enter DFU mode --look up how to put your phone in DFU. Then try restore.

Lastly, no. Phones do not prompt you to restore after opening normally

The problem is definitely related to the dissolution of the phone, I have had such cases ..

Disassemble the motherboard and connect it again, I'm sure you will see the motherboard sits under pressure or not in his place.

Check that you have not harmed the motherboard.

I disassembled the motherboard and put it back together, but still got the same problem. I just can't get passed the restoring. I didn't see any damage on the motherboard, i didn't really know what to look for either.

I'm getting really frustrated at my phone(or my self) now.

Anyone got some more advice, i'm happy for anykind of advice now?

thanks for trying Fixmart Laboratory
