I have this big issue with iTune. On my i7 and some other iphones, itune just simply crash whenever I connect iphone.

Sometimes if lucky, the phone will register on itune. But as soon as I tried to restore a backup, itune crash.

Any help would be appreciated!

Then I bought a new battery, thinking that maybe it could be a battery problem. I have replaced the new battery and the iPhone turn on again but with the same problem, the boot loop.

I tried to connect the iPhone to my Mac and recognizes it. But still not recognized when charging. Now I'm with the iPhone opened, connecting and disconnecting the battery flex connector, in order to not waste the battery, and trying to restore the software with iTunes holding volume down and power button, showing the black screen with a lighting charger and iTunes logo.

The process starts, but when the iPhone is automatically restarted during the process it show the logo, and then the loading bar under the logo 0,5 seconds and the iPhone restarts on showing the black screen with a lighting charger and iTunes logo again. The process fail with error 4013.

I have tried the process with iTunes and Dr.fone and I have the same problem. Any idea? I need to repair it without pay 370$ if possible...

Thank you!

I hope someone can help me. I've been fixing iphones for years with no real issues for friends and family that is until now!

Ive just replaced an Iphone 7 LCD for the 1st time and I was incredibly careful transferring everything to the new display.

All looks great but the Home Button is behaving very oddly! There is no error so the phone is accepting it but for some reason it will only do half of what it should.

It won't wake the phone but it will accept a finger unlock if you switch the device on with the power button.

It won't return to home screen with a single press but it does accept double Taps to lower the screen down.

Its kind of like its not understanding the haptic feedback correctly even though it does appear to part function and the phone is accepting it.

Has anyone else faced this issue and does anyone know of a solutions. The replacement screen was one purchased by my friend from Ebay. (Its not OEM but appears to be very good quality.

Thanks in Advance

It’s working perfectly good but do I need to take it to the technician for checking maybe of corrosion? Cos I’m afraid that once it’s checked they won’t fix it again well.

iPhone 7 screen replaced. Back plate, home button and front camera flex transfered (as I have done in the past already multiple times with success). When powering up I end up in a reboot loop.

Disconnecting front camera flex lets the device continue to its iOS without problems. Tried a new front camera flex without success. Tried another screen without success apart from one time when a new screen (with already attached back plate in-the-box) allowed a SINGLE normal bootup. Second restart gave bootloop again however (lucky stroke or Apple restrictions caught off guard?).

Also interesting: when I plug in the flex when in iOS it disables the previously working home button but doesn't provoke a crash/reboot.

Very curious all this but the fact that flex worked once or hinders home button working let's me suspect software, rather than a damaged flex or fpc connector :/

Oh yeah and a return to the original parts doesn't help either...

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

@jessabethany: I'd sure love to hear your thoughts on this one :)

I have some issues with an iphone 7 screen replacement. Replaced the customers screen and looks like the homebutton isn't working anymore, but the touch ID reader still does. I have readed already some answered question involving homebutton troubles. Some say entering DFU mode and installing the software again should solve the "half" working home button issue, but in my case it didn't....

Wat i did so far is handled the screen repair with the most precision, after the repair checkt all the cable's and connection's and everything looks fine at first site. I entered DFU mode and reinstalled the iphone but i still don't have a result...

Is there anyone that had the same issue ?

Can the homebutton still be rescued, or is there anything that i overlooked or still can try to do ?

Please tell me you're all given a BIG thanks in advance for reading and taking your time to do, and try to help.

Thank you

The story is I got this from a friend who has no access to it he says it’s fully functioning and wiped it’s just he cannot access it due to lack of proof that he purchased it he heard about me and how I fix old phones and tablets and says if I fix it I can keep it as he already has the 12 so I’m asking here for help

(I added this for information I told apple what I told you they like aways said that it’s unfixable and it’s better off I dump it and get a new one)

Thanks for the help appreciated
