iPhone 8 freezes when selecting country

I recently factory reset a phone to be sold and when I get to country it freezes up and returns to language. Why is this happening cause it never had any issues before the reset

Hello Frustratingiphone8fixit,


There are great troubleshooting steps that can help resolve issues with the iPhone becoming unresponsive. Based on the description you provided, restarting the iPhone would be the first step to take for reaching a resolution. While restarting is a simple step, it can be extremely beneficial in resolving many issues. You can find the steps for restarting the iPhone 11 listed below and outlined in the following article.


  1. "Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
  2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
  3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo."


Restart your iPhone
