iPhone 12 Pro Max Abandoned & Unclaimed By Owner - So I Fixed It For Myself

Its back for another video! This iPhone 12 Pro Max was found on the side of a highway being left for several days in the rain. Likely also being ran over at least once. In the last video we tracked down its owner and reached out to him in several ways, but 6 months on and he never claimed the phone. So being left with it I am taking it upon myself to fix it up!

Hey Hugh, i just wanted to give an advice on how you can remove the adhesive from the side of your phone, this trick is actually used by my local repair shop, just take a small motor along with a battery and either take a small screwdriver end or a thin metal rod and attach that to the motor, it helps to speed up the adhesive removal process 😊

@edde3244 Год назад

Yes, you can buy those as well for about $20. Think they are just called "glue remover tool" or something like that

@drunkmosquito4834 Год назад

Hey Hugh, really liked the video. Just want to say that since you have the original earpiece cable you can reprogram it with the i2C i6s programmer and pair it to a new special i2C flex. After that you just have to solder back a speaker. Done it on the iPhone X. It’s even possible to reprogram it if you don’t have the original earpiece flex but you’ll have to take out the Nand and use the p14 pro. So it’s a big advantage that you have the original cable.

Apple Pay issue is rampant in iOS 16. Had a XS that had it working on iOS 15 updated it to 16 and it never came back. Face ID can be repaired via micro soldering, have heard that putting on the screen without it attached to test can trigger that message as well. Its now getting beyond a joke they lock everything and the self repair program is an even bigger joke. You should send the phone off of a micro solderer im sure theres a few who would collab with you and get Face ID fixed its quite cool how they do it, and how they repair I7/8 home buttons.

Hello, That's an impressive restoration. I have some questions about the usability of this damaged phone, if you have time to answer. - Have you been able to do an iOS update ? I ask in order to know if the problems you see about face ID and other, prevents the phone to update or not. - Have you been successful in adding a SIM card ? Have you done a phone call without problem ? - Is the WiFi and the 4G functioning ? In other words, is the repaired phone is usable, and was the hassle of the repair worth it ? Thank you.

No, that's actually the NFC chip on the MB being short-circuited or just down right cracked. This cannot be fixed and Apple would just swap the board / sell you a new phone.
