Help! iPhone stuck in boot loop with weird shadowing on screen

im planning on replacing the display, just need to find a part with a digitizer and lcd with all the small parts

it only turns on when its plugged in as shown in the video, and has a weird shadowy affect after it turns itself off.

anyone know what to do?

ive tried putting in in dfu mode while its doing this,hard resetting also, and it doesn't help

is this also a display issue/recovery issue or is it something else?

are you concerned about data on the phone?

if not, then i'd recommend downloading 3utools and installing it on your PC. put the phone into DFU mode (you will need to google how to do this for your model), connect it to your PC and execute a anti-recovery Flash.

this will install the latest firmware and IOS for your phone.

this usually works for me when i get bootlooping phones to evaluate - but only if the data is expendable.
