Sorry to hear that you are unable to setup your iPhone. The reason you are unable to setup your iPhone is that it detects that the Touch ID is not passing the integrity check. This can be attributed to the screen replacement for your iPhone. To get passed this, the best thing to do is to contact Apple Support. More information on this is outlined in the article below.

Thanks for the input. I appreciate your help. But the problem with my phone is that it is not setting the Touch ID only. Rest my phone is working fine and it has no other problem. It is connecting to iTunes properly and working fine. Only I can't unlock my phone with Touch ID and other transactions enabled through Touch ID.
Anyway thanks for your Input.

Feb 17, 2016 8:27 AM in response to k007pkby ChrisJ4203,It has to do with what norm123 said. You changed the screen, not Apple, which is causing the device not to meet the integrity check. Only Apple can replace the parts and reconfigure to ensure they pass. Unfortunately, unauthorized opening of the device and change of the screen will have voided your warranty and post-warranty support from Apple. If you attempt to update the iOS on that device, you will encounter the error 53 norm123 describes and it will brick your device. I suggest you attempt to contact Apple support to see what they say, or make a Genius Bar appointment to have the device examined. They can provide you with your options.

I attempted to contact Apple support at the Authorised Service Centre. But they outrightly denied to offer any solution to the problem because of third party intervention in repairing the device. In the meanwhile I came to know about the new patch on the iOS 9.2.1 that
allows the Bricked iPhones due to error 53 to be restored. My device is not bricked as yet but I am afraid if this update will restore my Touch ID setup.

Feb 20, 2016 8:21 PM in response to k007pkby ChrisJ4203,It shouldn't at this point, however it highlights the need to not allow 3rd party repairs to the device. It is your decision as to what direction you wish to proceed in now.
