    • Finally, press and hold the side button (3) until the Apple logo appears, and then release.

    • The screen will temporarily go dark as the iPhone shuts down and reboots. Keep holding the button until you see the  logo.

    I’ve been trying to restart my iPhone X since yesterday night… doing it the way I always do (volume up or down and hold side button) and NOTHING. I just came to look for help online and all the same thing. BUT I found your way… and I got my phone back!!!! It was frozen on the same screens, unresponsive. THANK YOU!!!

You saved my day. My iphoneX did not respond to anything after connect with the itune. I tried to shut down by holding volume up/down + side button but it didn’t work. So I tried your method and it worked!!! Thank you so much

will it delete all data from my iPhone?

_TR0xuu_ -

No, it will only reboot the operating system. Your data and settings will persist.

Face ID has stopped after changing the screen, how to fix

You have to have a machine that puts the old serial number on the new part so the phone recognizes it. It's called "parts pairing" and it's why Apple sucks. I have seen someone do it with an EEPROM reader/writer but I could not find one for purchase so you would need to go to an Apple-authorized repair tech to have your new parts reserialized.
