    Thank you everyone for telling me how to fix this! I have Face ID working on the XS and realize it is very important to RTFM :D I had to connect the phone (like it said on the PC app) and do a cloud backup with the original module connected to the programmer (WITHOUT THE TAG), I was able to click the "Acti" button which said some things about High Voltage & it took a few seconds. Afterwards, I connected the tag onto the module & to the programmer and then wrote the .bin file that I had saved. After "Activating" that faulty module showed up with normal D,B,A,S. I've re-assembled the phone & all is working.

    I think after you program the tag on flex, you've gotta attach it to the original flex, then connect the entire setup to that tester/programmer. I could be wrong as I've never tried it but I've watched a ton of videos about fixing face ID with that tag on flex stuff. I think you would at least be able to test everything together. Hope it works out, Jason. Thanks for all of the great videos. I learn something with every one of them.

    Hey Jason,
    When I said stay away from it, I was referring to the old school method where you take apart the dot projector and replace the Romeo IC then re program it. I said stay away as you need some tools: the jcid programmer, some holder fixture to keep the dot projector in place while working on it, replacement chips, special glue and what’s more important of them all, the alignment tools to align the dot with the front when you put it back(you need one tool for every model). It’s not hard and it’s a fun job that you with your skills would appreciate. However nowadays it is not economically viable as you will work about half an hour to 1 hour on it and there’s that much you can charge for the job.
    I don’t do the tag on flex
    Method but I think you have missed a step where you need to blow the transistor that is inside the dot. That is why the tool you use has that funky big power supply connected via cable

    • @ststele

  • @MatthewSuffidy
    @MatthewSuffidy 6 місяців тому

    I am not at all familiar with this issue, but it seems to be that you want to read like a serial number out of the old flex assembly and then get a new one and put the tag in there to give the phone the original serial number. You would not really want to do this method on the original assembly, because it would either work or not if it was damaged. Some one else mentioned you may have to shut down the chip that normally responds on the assembly so the tag thing will respond instead.

    With JC programmer you have to "activate" the original cable after you read it and before you attach the tag-on to it for testing, otherwise it is just like in your case, not going to work... so I guess with this programmer of yours you will need to do something similar, so maybe you are just missing a step. I have fixed a lot of phones using the tag-on cables and they are all working fine after the repair. Good luck :)

    It show's abnormal when only the tag-on flex is connected because it does not detect the dot projector module. and the face id isnt working because you need to activate the dot projector without the tag on. It basically shorts the ic on the module so it can use the ic on the tag on flex! Hope this helps lol

      I think it should be used the other way around. The Tag On should contain the data from the original chip, because of Apple's serialization, but then you can use any flex that works to fix this iPhone. So the Tag On just circumvents Apple's serialization. Just a guess, but I would be really interested in the results of that test.
