we have another problem facing us: iphone 7/7+ - if you are so unlucky to break your homebutton or sensor flex, your phone will not boot, it will just stay at the apple logo. You simply cannot just go changing them with aftermarket parts or OEM parts, it must be fully original (not chinese-original), which means 1. much, much harder to get, 2. much, much more expensive. This does, however, not effect screens, you can easily use the high copy grade - as long as the small parts are ORIGINAL! So, fair warning my friends, be very careful not to bust anything when taking the screens apart. Basically, Apple reinstated error code 53, but not as an itunes error, more as a phone that'll brick when booting. If you switch to original parts, it boots just fine again. Apple has not yet solved this in the latest update like they did touch-ic error on iphone 6S, and who knows if they will at all. Back in the day, they got convicted into removing error 53 (if you had aftermarket homebutton installed on ip6, your phone would brick on updating in itunes, until original button was mounted), as it was a violation of consumer rights, as Apple was making it possible, only for Apple to fix it. We are facing the same problem here, basically - and as i see it, there are 2 solutions: Apple will have to change this (as this haven't been a problem the since ip7/7+ release, but is a new thing in thread with ios 11), or we be very careful, and buy original parts when we mess up. My personal opinion: get a lawsuit going, so we get the possibility and freedom of using the parts we want (and the customers want in most cases, as it is much cheaper for them as well), back!

BTW, i don't know if this can be viewed as a question, sorry for that! This is basically just knowledge i've been researching, and passing on to you, so that you don't have to spend days looking for a fix that will not work ;)

Any recommendations for getting the chip cover to fit perfectly every time? Has anyone taken off the OEM chip cover and replace the non-OEM cover with it? Could you just pop off the non-OEM chip cover and simply place it in the small area inside the phone where it should fit and it'll naturally cover the touch IC chip without it actually being glued on? The 7 Plus phones have more wiggle room for this chip cover, so I've never ran into problems with that model.

just over night my iPhone is showing the apple logo (contonious, no blinking). I tried:

-new battery

- hard reset

-recovery mode

-DFU Mode

Just the DFU Mode helped a little bit. But in the end, it shows three different failures

- iTunes failure nr -50

-iPhone can't be identified

-iPhone can't be activated, because the iPhone doesn't send an activation information (i don't even know what that means :D)

Sometimes i can connect the iPhone with iTunes and it recognized the iPhone, but the display continious just shows the apple logo.

Thanks in advance for help.

Well, I get it charged up and, half the icons are stuck on waiting (the person probably updated it and didn't let it fully finish?). So go into settings, it's on iOS 11.2.5 so I figured,

I'm just going to reset it because that will probably clear the waiting icon issue junk, I tap "Erase All Content and Settings"... nothing. So I tap it a couple more times.. nothing, so I tap "Reset all Settings" and it does it. Cool.

It froze ~half way through, so I hold power and volume down button to restart, and it's in recovery mode. Fine, I'll restore through iTunes, no problem.

Extracts the software... Restoring phone... Apple logo on screen. Then Bam!

Error 14. Phone's stuck at Apple logo with the loading bar anywhere from like 1% to 50% across.

OK, different cable. Error 14

Different USB ports. Error 14

Uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled. Error 14

Hackintosh Laptop. Error 14

Turned off all the Windows Defender junk. Error 14

DFU Mode. Error 14

I'm not sure what more I can do, I contacted the eBay seller and they say it's my fault because I "Tampered" with the software. There's not an Apple Store for 90 miles. Since it's used, to send it to Apple would cost $330, which is more than what I paid.

Edit/Update: 5/29 : Had the phone sent to a relative in Las Vegas, he took it to an apple store and they printed of a sheet saying the phone became bricked after trying to restore and throws error 14 indicating a hardware issue, and that I need to either replace the phone or refund with eBay..

So I got given an iPhone 7 to fix, Basically what is happening is it is getting so hot it causes the iPhone to warn you its got too hot and wait for it to cool down. My first thought something is shorting so let’s rule everything out, I put the board into an iPhone 7 that works perfectly and it still overheated so its a board issue. I do have some 99% alcohol on the way and my plan was wet the board, plug her in and wait for a part to dry and then that tells me what is overheating. It feels like the top back but i was wondering if this is a common issue and how anyone has managed to solve it.

Many thanks all

Upon switching the devices on, both units are going into boot loop.

I’ve tried restoring the device on my mac, but am getting error 9.

I’ve also tried;

Disconnecting camera/proximity sensor

Disconnecting home button

Connecting old screen just incase I got faulty replacements

Is there anything I’m missing? I heard it might be Audio IC, but if the device cant boot at all, this can’t be it, right?

I left the phone off all night, then in the morning I turned it on by plugging it into a wall outlet, phone booted up and wact normal like I was setting it up for the first time. Set it up as a new phone, works great EXCEPT, anything involing the microphone wont work/freezes. Pressing record on voice memos or video recordings, the recording button changes from a red circle to a red square but the timer doesnt count and it doesnt respond immediately to stoping the recording. Thoughts? Also, I cant hear or be heard on phone calls, sounds like hardware?

3/21/2018 Apologize in advanced for the long post!

Read through a lot of the great knowledge on here, going to give it a shot, I just wanted to ask in case anyone could help expedite my process.

I bought a used iphone 7 for $100.00 that was stuck in a boot loop (White Screen, black Apple Logo). I have an iphone 5s that I've had for 3 years and after doing research online, seeing that iphone 7s stuck in boot loops was fairly common, I figured I'd take the risk of trying to get it out.

Brought the phone home, put in in DFU mode and got the software updated to current ios. Tried downgrading to 10, found out that doesnt work. It would show up in itunes with the older owners name, battery percentage, available space, all the basic info. I let the phone charge on my Lenovo laptop via genuine lightning cable all night long.

The nextmorning I read some users had issues with the phone getting to about 75 percent completed status on the updating software bar and the phone would just reset. The solved this by opening up the sim card door and using a hairdryer directed towards it to get the phone hot and this would work. My phone would appear to get 98 percent of the way done, the itune message would pop up and say, "The update was complete, your device will restart in 10 seconds.."So I gave it a shot. Didn't work. Then I tried it again later and after my phone cooled down a bit it worked! Phone started up like it was a new iphone, ran me through everything, touch i.d., new pass code, insert sim card. I attempte to restore it with my iphone 5s back up. Back up seemed to go just fine, it restarted the device with the white background/black logo but then loaded my passcode prompt. Typed in my new passcode, phone froze for a bit and rebooted. Again prompted me to enter my passcode, after it accepted my passcode, it showed a white screen that said I needed to update, updated it and it back in the boot loop. Re-heating it hasnt worked.

I apologize for the wordy write-up! I realize that it, being a used phone, is probably water damaged, but my hopes where that the wordy write-up may help more expereienced users crack this one.

Questions,

- My 5s is running 10. 3.3 when I ran the 'restore' option on the 7, that doesnt also load that ios from the 5s does it? Could that have made things worse?

- If it is water damage, what components might be damaged? Are they worth replacing, by myself (decently skilled DIYer) or a pro? I was looking at NAND's and upgrading since its only a 32 gb.

Should I just part it out and try and break even? Is that even an option?

Thanks so much!
