‘‘Hi there. My iPhone 4S (model A1387) will not boot into iOS. iPhone boots up initially and displays the apple logo for 3 seconds. Then it goes to a blank screen for another 3 seconds and the process repeats . I tried a restore but I got the error No. 9 ! I tried to hold the home button and in the same time Sleep/Wake button , but same issue. So anyone that can help me ? I do not know if this is Hardware or Software issue…. Thanks, hopefully someone will help me!’’

@sebs123 start off by replacing the battery and then re-evaluate. Use this guide iPhone 4S Battery Replacement for that.
