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.
You might tell him that gasoline goes stale in a month or two and could damage the engine (even if authorized).
Also, I'm not certain but I believe that it's illegal (safety).
I did buy Kayo gasoline several years back and I'm not making that up!
If you want to have fun, ask him about the new mandated gasoline cans that the EPA laughingly calls "No Spill."
Oh, goodness. I'm not that brave.
Glad to see apple have back tracked on this one, they were clearly in the wrong.
So much for the isheep and there claims that Apple were right.
Care to tell us now what that reason might be? Totally unrelated to maintaining security as has now been completely proven by Apple. So, what does that leave as a valid reason now?
Nothing wrong with my speling. Ants which follow without analysis or question are obediants.

Seriously?

Yes, they take themselves very seriously.

Does that mean we don't have to then? (he asked hopefully)
And yeah.. Gail's reply was one of the nicest and more than was deserved.
