Q: What happens to error 53 devices now?

Excuse me but if an iPhone 6 device has an error 53 due to just an unofficially replaced screen and home button does this new force restore procedure make it usable once again? I assume TouchID still doesn't work, but can it work after force restore as a regular non-TouchID iPhone device? The device has no activation lock, so should I be worried of anything else not working, like non working AppStore or anything else please? Thank you all

    That is what it's designed to do. Did the procedure not work for you?
