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.
Then switch to Android. Submit feedback to apple.com/feedback don't complain on a forum where people are trying to get help.
The information that I provided in my initial post was, in my opinion, quite helpful. As for my remarks about platforms, I wasn't seeking the opinions or feedback of others. Thanks.
So. why Apple will not let me fix my iPhone and I just have to use them? Is this monopoly?
If you do not seek the opinions of others then do not share your opinion on a forum where people can reply and respond.

Actually, I just buy Note 4 instead Iphone 6 plus. I saw that apple was so bad in this error 53. I think quality of these iphone 6 and 6s which is not good.
Does anybody know if this problem also occurs on an iPhone5S? The home button of my son his 5S is broken and he is already on iOS9. Should I take the risk of replacing the home button?
I'll never buy an apple device in my entire life after this bad experience
What, you mean because the device is actually secure? Seriously?
You're repeating what's already been stated over a dozen times in this thread.
:-O god forbid someone does that!!
