Q: Error 53 when updating iphone 6, why Apple ?

My iPhone was working fine till I changed my screen after my iPhone screen got damaged after falling down, the Touch ID didn't work after fixing the screen, but the phone was working fine. until I updated to 8.4, I kept getting error 53 message.

 

I read a lot and most people said its because of the Touch ID. Now I lost my phone and I'm unable to update/restore and apple has no official fix and I cant replace my phone because its out of warranty and no apple care.

 

WAS MOT SUPPOSED FROM APPLE TO LAUNCH AN UPDATE THAT BYPASS THE TOUCH ID PROCESS????

 

my phone was working fine and I don't need the touch ID!! why I'm forced now to buy a new iPhone just because ( I updated my phone while the touch ID was not working ! )

 

is there any fix for this issue ? anything to do ?

    Vary nice indeed!! how would you feel if u bought a **** car and manufacturer put a code on every parts so u don't have a choice to even get your car service by other pref repairer??? If that is the case published it so that will warn any Apple buyers to reconsider before investing on an iphone!!! we should have the freedom to choose what we want to do with the **** thing, after all we paid for it right?? or we didn't???

    You joined here today, and picked me out of a thread of 30 replies to rag on me about this subject? And this is your first and only post? You go right ahead and do whatever you want with your device, I don't really care. I just know that the security measures in the iPhone prevent you from changing out these parts except by Apple, to prevent someone from trying to override the Touch ID security. That is why you have warranty and post-warranty work done by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service provider. I'm glad Apple does this for security purposes.

    May i tell u now changing the home button does not get rid of the touch id?? just for your information, Touch id code are stored in the Mainboard ones a user register the id on the touch pad they are paired.  So why design it that way??? unless is to reduce the life span of the **** phone right!!, every one breaks the screen what are the chance that you won't wreck the fingerprint scanner as well.  And u know what, Apple tech cannot even rectify this problem apart from changing u a new (oh sorry refurbished) iphone to be exact hah hah for u to use for a few months and of cause it died out again because its the smash one which had been sent back to China put in new case and restock... so no more iphone for me and many to come as the words goes out....

    So you maintain that Apple should ensure that software updates not be affected by any hardware issues in the phone?


    Philly, correct me if I'm wrong, but before you proceed for an update, there is a term and condition which you must agreed upon. Is there a stipulation that indicates the software may cause harm to your device if phone does not meet the proper requirements?

    In the seven years I've had iphones, I've yet to break anything, and certainly not the screen, on any of the 5 iPhones I've had in that time. And my iPhone is my only telephone so gets used a lot everyday, and is taken everywhere I go every day. Many people manage to use their devices without breaking them.

    I hate to burst your bubble, but I have had a 5s and a 6 screen replaced that were broken, and both done by Apple. Neither of the devices were completely replaced and both still work perfectly, including the Touch ID, so Apple can replace screens without replacing the entire device. After the screen is replaced, it is tested. Should it not have worked and it was more than the screen that was damaged, then yes, you would have had to purchase an out of warranty replacement device. But in my case, that did not happen. So much for your reduction theory.

    No, there's not.  If the phone does not meet proper requirements, an update for the phone will not be offered.
