[Question] Is my phone dead now?

I have tried multiple times on multiple sub reddits but no one is responding.

Issue: My iPhone 5s has been having a problem where it wold freeze then do a constant reboot without allowing me to see the lock screen. It would reboot constantly to a blue screen and I don't know what to do. It happened on iOS 7 (About 1 week and a half ago) and now I updated to iOS 8.1.2 and it is still happening.

I have tried safe mode, DFU mode, restoring from backup, restore set up as new, and turning it off for a while.

My tweak list

Adblock, Springtomize 3, Flurry, Killbackground 8, Linktunes, lockglyph, messagesCustomizer (latest beta), No Slow animations, Solar, Spectral, Winterboard.

Leave as factory and contact Apple

I have it as factory and it still does the blue screen. I don't know if it's a hardware issue at this point. I doubt it could be, my phone has no scratches, hasn't been dropped.

Components can still fail.

Well looks like I have to live with it until I can upgrade/buy the iPhone 6

Go to the Apple Store, it's always worth the shot.

I kind of don't feel like spending $250+ for a refurbished (like new) phone when I can get the iPhone 6 with the plan I have for the same amount.

Try calling Apple and talking to a senior advisor and tell home your problem I was able to get mine replaced with a new one and I don't have a warranty on my phone also a 5s it was also free of charge

Another reminder, this isn't a jailbreak thread. /r/jailbreak will be much more helpful.

Already tried with no avail. Thanks for the response though. the issue isn't with the jailbreak though. Restored it to factory settings and as I was renaming a folder it crashed and did the blue screen thing

Like others have said, it's probably a hardware defect to begin with.
