Apple has released an update to iOS 9.2.1, which helps to restore the devices bricked by ‘Error 53’ after unauthorized repair.


If you're one of the affected users, you should connect your device to the computer and restore it using iTunes.


[IMPORTANT] THE UPDATED IOS 9.2.1 VERSION IS AVAILABLE VIA ITUNES ONLY! THE OTA UPDATE WON’T FIX THE ISSUE.


If after the restore you see any other error, please refer to the dedicated Apple Support article below.
