  • Using a voltage that is too low may put your handset in a bootloop in which case you'd have to boot the phone into recovery and restore from a backup, and then install a kernel that works better.

  • bootloop, v.

    Reddit, 11 February 2016:

    Can confirm that Jan 1, 1970 bootloops the device. iTunes will not recognize it in this state. Restoring in DFU (can't update in DFU, that option is unavailable) completes, but goes right back to bootloop. Updating in recovery mode has the same net effect.
