Hugh, sometimes the RSoD on the iPhone 5s is caused by the front camera or battery. One time I had a 5s that had the RSoD but the cable on the battery was damaged and when I put in a new battery and unplugged the front camera it turned on. So keep in mind that some RSoD iPhone 5s is caused by the front camera, not the NAND Flash Storage on the board.
@@HearMeLearn Can you? Because I can't. My mind freezes when it tells me "Turn left a 100 meters ahead" Like How far is 100 meters ahead? I need to see it on screen.
I'd recommend using heat instead of alcohol or adhesive remover, leave the device with the magmount down on the heatplate at 80C for 5 minutes and usually you can take it right of.
I just wanted to say thanks for all the tutorials. I've watched these videos for 4 years and you have helped me perfect many kinds of repairs. I'm actually working on opening my own shop. Thanks again! I wish you the best of luck! You sure have given me a lot. I can't thank you enough.
Most repair shops will miss this step. The home button was originally adhered into place. If it’s loose, it can rotate, and this rotating force can snap the cable.
If Apple really cared for the environment, they would allow TouchID and FaceID replacement (with full functionality again) for independent repair providers. Same thing for the replacement and repair of batteries, displays and cameras, repairs that return full functionality without those pesky warning messages or crippling them.
The only they care about is money and all other things they pretend to care about is just a disguise to make more money. If they actually cared about privacy and human rights, they would have rejected the Chinese government's request to handing over users' data.
I totally understand your point of view regarding the activation lock, but take into account that the current activation lock essentially kills the stolen phone market. This is specially important for countries with really high crime rates. Still they can salvage the parts but not the phone as a whole, and this essentially helps to keep your information safe and your phone from ever being sold again after being stolen. The only thing I would change is to add easily accesible contact info so that the owner could potentially unlock the device for the purposes you propose while still keeping the phones away from the stolen market.
No it doesn't protect shit. Anybody can sell you a phone then report it stolen 6 months later to get insurance money, even if you legit paid for the phone, then it becomes blacklisted. If you want your info safe, a reset will delete all your information. So there's nothing to worry about there. Icloud is straight BS
Home button > Show owner contact info If home button is broken, simply make it so starting up the phone brings up the setup screen immediately with that home button pop up
2:21 It is actually because in 2018 Apple accidentally resigned every single version of iOS, but only for a few minutes. So many people were downgrading to iOS 9 that the activation servers became overloaded, causing errors when activating iPhones on iOS 9. Apple has not fixed this issue since then to try and force people to upgrade to a newer version of iOS.
Hugh you have a lot of patience man what can I say. If I fully restored a phone and then the screen got ruined by the adhesive running into it, I think I would’ve smashed the phone into pieces out of frustration 🤣
That 5s looks like it may have a problem with the front facing camera. Some years ago I got an iPhone SE that was boot looping and showed a red screen. I installed the screen from a 5s and it worked perfectly, so I just changed the front facing camera assembly and it started working perfectly
Hi Hugh why don’t you try the new checkrain jailbreak method to remove activation lock and some methods have paid FMI OFF function to remove old Apple ID from the device so you can fully unlock the iPhone until iPhone X.
Nice restorations - you got a good deal there. Shame about the iCloud activation locks though. I wonder if there is anything that could be done to bypass the Apple iCloud locks? it would certainly help make all those locked devices you have, semi-functional (even if not fully functional).
Least it did a great job to demonstrate how strong the adhesive was, if he used enough alcohol for it to be completely absorbed into the backlight. Just to prove the point.
Thedingusmaster420 yeah, although checkm8 is just the exploit, the og tool isnt free though. Sliver is free and can do icloud untethered bypass on A10-A7 devices. It also uses checkm8 exploit btw
Great video, I noticed a few days ago that my 6s on iOS 9.3.5 suddenly asked for reactivation, I was wondering why this happened but thankfully it did successfully reactivate without forcing me to update. It's crazy to what extent Apple goes to force people to update.
Activation lock will still take effect. You would need a bootrom exploit to bypass it and even then it would have issues since the phone is kinda like blacklisted. You cant connect to apple services, cant even download apps (there is a way to with a pc) and a sim card wont work at all.
11:37 I have a question about the home button, so my iPhone 7 Plus screen is cracked and I have to replace it, and when I transfer my home button to the new screen, will I lose any functionality?
5:42 Is it a bad thing to use a heat gun to help pry the screen protector off with the alcohol? I have used a heat gun to help loosen protectors off before picking away at it and I haven't seen any problems with the screen itself
So let me get on thing clear. When Iphone has the "Find my Iphone" turned off, after it's restoration I will be able to use Iphone freely (without any passwords etc.) ??
Every time you bring up the iCloud Lock story, I always feel down. I wish it could be reworked to be better, as not to create more e-waste as it is, but the incentive for more profit always will be there, which sucks. It means we'll lead to a future that might not be as bright as we can hope to be.
You have to admit though, most iCloud locked phones you see are stolen. Sometimes broken phones that are unable to be signed out of are locked because they're broken, but don't glaze over the fact that peoples phones are stolen and resold all the time. Whether or not the iCloud lock deters criminals from stealing and reselling phones is still up for debate, but regardless, thats usually the case
Bluecolty I’d say roughly half give or take. A lottt are broken or resold and they forgot the account is on there and no one has a way to contact the original owner (I work at a repair shop and see a lot of cases)
@@Bluecolty so trying to track down the original owner might get you arrested for being in possession of stolen property? Even if you got legit possession of the device from an ebay seller? Oh, also in most of the cases the icloud lock doesn't deter criminals from stealing apple devices
He wears the gloves to protect his hands from the shattered glass. The adhesive most likely rubbed off because of the amount of alcohol used to pry off the protector. It are generic working gloves.
@@mick2414 I get used laptops a lot and getting the stickers off is super annoying. Some laptops have a rubberized coating and no matter how gentle I am or what chemicals I use, removing the stickers is a guaranteed way to damage the coating.
Excellent video Hugh as ever, love your channel. However this is a rare time I’m going to disagree with you about activation lock. It is a complete pain if someone genuinely did intend to sell their phone and forgot to unlock it, but otherwise the beauty is it takes a massive incentive away from anyone hoping to steal a phone. I’m not saying it would stop them entirely, but it does provide a huge disincentive because by design it cannot be removed without the owners consent. Even a 90 day grace period would make the phone hugely more valuable to thieves willing to bide their time. So for me, it has to stay, as annoying it can be for the wrong reasons. A better solution might be better software integration, for example a UI prompt if someone tries to reset their phone asking them what they’re planning to do and suggesting they may wish to disable activation lock and better still provide some suggestions for avoiding the phone becoming e waste.
The screen protector stuck thingy happened to me once. What I did was just used the hair dryer to heat up the protector and it came off pretty easily afterwards.
After installing LCD Screen, make sure that the case is cleaned, no sign of adhesive residue to prevent problems with display being contaminated by adhesive remover.
heye hugh, i was replacing a battery on my 5s and i do not remember the passcode wondering is there a way i can remove the passcode or clean it entirely on my old iphone 5s any type of help would be appreciated
The adhesive tape under the battery should only be pulled slowly and gradually, because if it breaks, it's difficult to remove the battery, you have to use a separate tool to pull it under the battery, but just be careful not to bend the battery because it can explode, it's a bit difficult and complicated, but only with enough knowledge and experience, anything is possible, all praises for the video, I learned a lot of things👍🏻
I have an iPhone 6 that's having problems charging - the problem is likely the charge port since the cable works in other devices - and these videos help illustrate how relatively easy it is to repair. I want to fix it to use as a backup (if something happens to my newer phone or I want one I can travel with and worry slightly less if it's damaged).
We've seen a few iCloud locked phones come through our shop and there's nothing we can do for them. I feel like there will never be enough voices calling on Apple to remove that feature for them to actually listen.

Bro your videos are really amazing and we learn lot's of things from you
i am a huge fan of Hugh Jeffrey. a simple good guy indeed.
i love lots! always interesting to see what you get
Please help here, where do you order iphone , like the online sites which ones are best...
Great video Hugh, I agree with your thoughts on Apple activation locks. If only...
Yeah! Thank-you Sir Jeffreys. Very fine work sir!
I have an iPhone 6 that's having problems charging - the problem is likely the charge port since the cable works in other devices - and these videos help illustrate how relatively easy it is to repair. I want to fix it to use as a backup (if something happens to my newer phone or I want one I can travel with and worry slightly less if it's damaged).
Do you sell the repaired phones?
Hi Hugh, just wondering if you can swap pfc connector of ipad pro 12.9 1st and 2nd?
@Williams Brown thanks but I don't like Instagram 😞
We've seen a few iCloud locked phones come through our shop and there's nothing we can do for them. I feel like there will never be enough voices calling on Apple to remove that feature for them to actually listen.
Yeah
I agreee with you
Apple should rework that
I don't why but I love and respect this guy💜💜💜💜
Does anyone else finds his phone repairs very satisfying?
@@Farquad76.547 To be fair, his repair isn't always conclusive. Like how he wasn't replacing the scuffed chassis @12:12 and doesn't do any micro soldering @15:20
