has anyone come accross restore error 53 on an iPhone 6???
iPhone 6
Little history here re: error 53...
- dropped iphone 6, shattered screen.
- took for repair, tech not only replaced screen but used a new (or used) home/touch id button with attached ribbon cable.
- attempted to both update and setup new touch id, neither worked and received failed messages. .
- tried to update via itunes, started update then failed with error 53 - tried many times after with continued error 53 error.
- tried to restore, also received error 53.
- realized my phone was a brick so called back repair service.
- they stated the tech messed up - iphone has a unique home/touch id button and ribbon cable, any other replacement will not work.
- fortunately they retained my parts and replaced the new home/touch id and ribbon cable with my existing one.
- brought home, was able to complete the restore then restored from back up.
So, if you damage your iphone, be sure the repair service uses the existing home/touch id and ribbon cable or you'll end up with error 53. Appearantly, each iphone is linked to this button/ribbon cable and will not work if replaced. If you do have it replaced, you won't be able to update and if you try to update via itunes, your iphone will never work again.
Has someone found a solution for this? Have tried everyrhing without success. IPhone 6 stuck on recovery mode.
Same issue here. also tried all the steps. WTH Apple !?

Strange, I've never heard of antivirus software for an iPhone. Did you get it at the App store?

No, we ARE isolated on our boat. Apple spits on us. Try to call Apple Support a d you will realize it.
Can anyone verify if this worked? I would love to spread this information all over the internet!

Warranty of my iphone 6 still valid until Dec 2015. May I will replace by new one ?
We did that many times but not successful. Did you know exactly what is problem with the error 53. It is touch button fail ? Jason H.
Thanks
This was the problem in my case. Some info in my post 🙂
Thanks for your advice,
But my iPhone didn't change Screen display or Touch ID before. Because Warranty of my iPhone 6 is valid until Dec 2015.

Dear mr.rtk,
I have only a question for you.
Before you update to iOS 8.4, What is version iOS of your iphone 6? And how is your touch ID - it is work well or fail ?
Thanks
