How to Force/Hard Reset iPhone without Computer
Case 1. For iPhone 8, 8 Plus, And iPhone X

It is recommended that you first back up all your data before attempting a hard reset on your iPhone 8. Once you have backed up all your important things, you can proceed to the hard reset process.

Three buttons are used in the iPhone 8 force reset process: Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down button.



Follow these instructions to hard reset your iPhone 8:


Power off your iPhone 8.


Now press and hold the Volume Up button for a few seconds and then quickly release it.


Repeat the same steps for the Volume Down button. Press and hold it for a few seconds and then quickly release it.


Now press and hold the Power button for a few seconds. Release the Power button once you see the Apple logo on the screen. Your hard reset process will start.
Case 2. For iPhone 7 And 7 Plus

Step 1: You will use two buttons here. They will be pressed at the same time. These are the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons. Hold them until the Apple logo appears.


Case 3. For iPhone 6s and Earlier

Step 1: Press the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons simultaneously. Hold them until the Apple logo appears.


Part 3. The Difference between a Soft Reset, a Force Restart, and a Factory Reset

The soft reset is otherwise known as a software option. Using it will not wipe off data from your device. This is also applicable to a force restart in which an iPhone is booted via hardware keys due to non- responsiveness of the touch screen. A Factory Reset on its own performs differently from the two operations. Here, your iPhone is configured back to the manufacturer’s settings, exactly what is obtainable in a newly bought device. The entire personal information, customized settings and input contents are all gone. The option of factory reset should be seen as a last resort, especially when you have made several attempts to no avail. Besides, if you are giving out your iPhone to someone else or you want to sell it, you can opt for this option. It should be noted that factory resetting your phone is a temporary process since you can retrieve your information via previous backup.
Part 4. Assuming The Force Restart Doesn’t Work!

You should not lose hope if your iPhone 8 stop working. There are other available options to consider before contacting your nearest Apple Store for help.Sponsor ads:Speed up USB 3.0/2.0 Transfer in Windows 10

The first option is termed the recovery-mode. Here, a USB or Lightning cable is used to plug your iPhone to a Mac. Perform a force restart; however, do not leave the Side button even when the Apple logo displays on your screen. Next is an icon which will instruct you to connect to iTunes. This is when you can now leave the Side button. Now, launch the iTunes, after which you will be opportune to restore and update your iPhone 8 software. Having achieved this stage, press and hold the Side button again and watch until the Connect to iTunes icon disappears.

Consider this second option if the first one seem not to work. What you do here is to use a Device Firmware Update to the firmware on your iPhone 8. However, you need to first get into the DFU mode by connecting your phone to a system and perform a force restart. You will notice your screen turning black. Continue to holding both the Side button and the Volume Down button for 5 seconds. Now, release the Side button and maintain pressing Volume Down for additional 10 seconds. Your screen will remain black. Launch iTunes on your system now. If the procedure is successful, a message will pop up to inform you that an iPhone has been detected by iTunes in recovery mode. You can now perform a force restart on your phone.

Having performed these two options and your device does not come up, contact the nearest Apple Store and seek support.
