i need help getting my phone out of a bootloop

my phone has been stuck in a boot loop for months now and i cant seem to get it out of it as of last night i was able to turn it on and get into the phone itself but i tried to update the phone and then it got stuck back into the bootloop, i havent tried plugging it into a computer to update it yet because i do not have a USB-C to lightning cord and only have the iphone charging cord, am i able to update my phone using one of my school provided chromebooks so i do not need to purchase a new cord?

iPhone 7, iOS 15

An iPhone restore can only be done from a Mac or PC using Finder or iTunes, Chromebooks are not compatible for what you're looking to do.


If you do not have a cord available, you can always contact support and see about setting up a service appointment at an authorized apple service center if you do not have an Apple Store nearby.
