Title. This phone's been with me for 5 years now and it has a lot of sentimental value with it. The problem is, the Icloud isn't backed up / the battery is dying.

I already had to replace the battery last August, but since I'm a broke college student -- I had to settle for a third party one because it's what I could afford.

I updated it to the latest ios but then a week after, it got stuck in this bootloop. I've already tried everything these past few weeks from the forced restart and connecting it to my Macbook for recovery but it doesn't even show up there.

This phone means a lot to me, but is it really beyond saving? Thank you. 😞
