Hi everyone. My iPhone 7 fell on the floor and the screen got smashed so bad it stopped displaying the image. Lickily, I had a perfectly working iPhone 7 lying around, so I just swapped the whole LCD assembly. The display turned on and displayed the restore required image. But, when I tried to restore, it would stop halfway and then produce the dreaded old error 53. Why is that? I tried DFU restore, replacing the battery, unhooking the rear cam and all combinations thereof. Please help.
Did you transfer the Home Button from the damaged screen to the replacement screen? If you didn’t, that may be why you’re getting this message.
