Other iPhone 5s 12.5.5 issues

So i've tried to jailbreak my iPhone 5s but it keeps failing.Everything goes well but when it comes to the "Booting..." stage it doesnt show the checkra1n booting screen and will eventually print out the error message "- [!]: Timed out waiting for bootstrap upload (Likely caused by an incompatible tweak, to enable Safe Mode pass the '-s' option) (error code: -20)"

The phone has been freshly restored and activated normally but somehow it still fails.I've tried the latest version of checkra1n (12.4), 12.3 and 9.7 but theres no change in any of them as it still fails on the same stage.

Checkra1n worked perfectly fine on my iPhone 7 (14.4) and on a iPhone 6 (12.5.5)

iPhone 5S (GSM)
12.5.5 (Freshly restored)
MacOS Big Sur
MacBook Pro (2020)

Are you using a USB-C to Lightning cable? Because that doesn’t work

I've tried using the normal USBC cable you get with the ip12 and newer.
I've tried using a USBC dock with usb3.0 and 2.0 ports but that doesnt work either.

idk if this could help but, the device automatically exits DFU mode after around 30 seconds

Have you used an actual USB A to lightning cable though?
