What is Reiboot

ReiBoot is an iPhone recovery tool that allows you to fix your Apple smartphone with your PC. For many years, iPhone owners had relatively few options if their Apple devices ever crashed. Luckily, that has all changed with this comprehensive restoration and recovery software. After you download this program, you can fix a wide variety of issues ranging from corrupted firmware updates to the dreaded recovery loop. Here is a quick look at just a few of the reasons why Apple fans might want to take a closer look at Tenorshare's recovery tool.

This program has a relatively small footprint, and you should be able to download it within just a few seconds. Once it has been downloaded, setting it up will only take a minute or two. ReiBoot is a free download, but you will need to create an account and pay a small fee if you want to unlock some of the advanced features. With a paid account, you will have access to an advanced mode that lets you carry out a “deep repair” on any Apple device. It will also give you 24/7 access to their support team and a variety of new themes.

In order to use ReiBoot, you must first plug your broken Apple device into your laptop or desktop. The program should automatically detect the device and run a full scan. That scan gives you an incredible amount of information about your phone including your current operating system, your last firmware update, and a list of recent software updates. For the average person, the most useful feature will be the firmware download and installation tool. ReiBoot can automatically restore a phone to a previous firmware update so that it once again works correctly. That tool should fix the vast majority of issues that users run into.

If you want more advanced features, then you will probably want to purchase the paid version. While pricey, the paid version unlocks quite a few features that could be invaluable. That includes a system recovery tool that can fix your Apple device without reverting it an older version of the firmware. The paid version also unlocks a data recovery tool that allows you to pull files off of your Apple device even if it has been severely damaged. You will once again have access to old photos, movies, contact lists, written files, songs, and audiobooks.

Overall, ReiBoot is an extremely useful tool if you have an iPhone or iPad that has been severely damaged or is no longer working properly. The paid software can be pricey, but some people would prefer to fix their own devices instead of heading to an Apple store.

  • Simple recovery tool
  • Eye-catching user interface
