Hi everyone, I’m from Egypt (Cairo) and I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max running iOS 26.1 that is stuck in boot loop (Apple logo appears and disappears every 10-15 seconds).

Problem details:
  • Storage is 100% FULL (0 bytes free)
  • No iCloud backup, no computer backup at all
  • Data is extremely important (photos, videos, WhatsApp chats…)
  • Tried 3uTools → error -100 at 71% (fails during filesystem writing because of full storage)
  • Recovery mode & DFU mode → same result
I need a solution that keeps ALL user data (Retain User Data / No erase). Data loss is not an option.
Please advise any working method or suggest a trusted technician in Egypt (Cairo or nearby) who can fix this without losing any data.

Thank you very much!
