I recently installed the iOS 14 Beta 2 on my iPhone XS which bricked my device and put it into an infinite boot loop. Restoring is not possible and gives an 4013 error. Apple Retail store ran diagnostics and said the motherboard is fine but don't know why it's unable to restore and since the device has been used to run the beta they don't have the resources to assist me.

I tried to restore both iOS 13 and 14 via IPSW files via both Mac and Windows with no success. I read on other formus that I am not the only one.

Any advice or suggestions?

Hi everyone! So I have an iPhone XS. Installed the iOS 16 beta. Long story short after installing a week or 2 later my phone gets 'bricked' Honestly I don't believe it. My phone doesn't get off the dead battery screen or the apple logo reboot screen. I went to Apple and Best Buy and they both said it was dead. The apple logo comes periodically. Please help! Is it really dead or can I recover it. Honestly, Apple should offer a replacement program or something. You help them test and they recieve info. While if the phone bricks. Oh no its your fault but heres another 500-1000 phone! Buy this!
