Error 53 fixed!!!

Apple today has released a new version of iOS 9.2.1 that will remedy bricked iPhones affected by ‘error 53‘ after servicing hardware with Touch ID (via TechCrunch). iOS 9.2.1 is the same version number released last month, but the updated build from 13D15 to 13D20 reflects the resolution for bricked iPhones.

I had my touch id replaced but i never updated my phone (running ios9.2.1) because I knew of the error 53. Can i now update my phone when ios 9.2.2 comes out? Should i wait for ios 9.3??

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.2.1, null

Just to be clear, this will not fix your TouchID if it currently does not work but it will get you past Error 53.

You can update but be sure to backup first. If you get Error 53, follow the instructions here:

Apple has just released an official fix for Error 53.

If you see error 53 and your iPhone or iPad gets stuck on the 'Connect to iTunes' screen - Apple Support
