Part 1: Check If Your iDevice Can Be Restarted or Not

After your iOS device is erased by iReaShare iPhone Data Eraser, the software will reboot your device, and you will see the interface as shown below:

If there is only the Apple logo on the screen of your iOS device but no progress bar, it means that your device gets stuck at this screen, and the restart is unsuccessful.

If you can see a progress bar on your iPhone or iPad, your device will be restarted successfully.

Part 2: What to Do If the iDevice Fails to Restart

After confirming that your iOS device cannot be rebooted, you can follow the methods in this section to fix it.

For iPhone 6s and earlier:
