It is impossible to replace the home button assembly and preserve Touch ID function. The sensor is designed to be secure and it is uniquely paired with each CPU. so if your replacing a screen make sure you keep the home button .
Thank you; very helpful! Just be sure to keep a hand above the screen when prying it open so that it doesn't fly up and break the home button strip. I didn't need heat to remove my home button; it came up easily with a fingernail.
finger scanner will not work unless it's the original one as the logic board has got a code that only works with the orignal touch ID with a chip. You'd need to send it to apple so they can fix it. Maybe they can made i new chip with the same code i really do not know. With a new Home button just know touch ID will not work that's normal
is it posible to take apart sensor from home button? after changing motherboard my tuch id doesen't work anymore is this because motherboard and tuch id aren't from the same phone than originaly? thanks for help =)
Well, I watched several videos and I'm sure I did everything right, but it seems like my problem lays somewhere else. The thing is that touch ID works but home button doesn't, and when I install new home button that I ordered it does the same thing, only thing different is that it does not have touch ID and I understand that, since it's not original. But yeah, I'm kinda out of ideas, anyone knows anything about this?
TouchID can only work with original Fingerprintsensor-circuit, it is tethered to the A7-processor. If you change the homebutton inclusiv flexcable, the TouchID cannot work anymore. Say thank you Apple, making the Iphone securesecuresecure, but you cannot repair it :'( The encrypted information can only be accessed by 1 original (binded) chip which can communicate with the A7 processor, it should be soldered right on the flexcable, I guess.
assholes. no wonder my I touchsensor no longer works after changing out the lower harness. That's almost infuriating for apple to do this because the charging port on mine was damaged, thus causing me to change it. What's interesting is that it doesn't even show it anymore on the general settings in the phone. Interesting.
Sadly, there are no video's out there doing it. There also isn't any tutorials for it. But the little ic (wich is soldered on the flex) contains the key wich is paired with the logicboard. This ic has to be transfered to your new one otherwise it will not work due invallid keys. If you got a heat gun, i would suggest you to buy 5 new touch id sensors and try removing the ic's without ripping the pads on the flex just for training. If you got one of very good without ripping the cable, you can get your original sensor and swap the ic. Sorry for my bad English:) for more help you are free to ask!
I get a touch ID failed error message every time I transfer over the home button to a new screen assembly. The bracket is in the correct position, but yet the fingerprint sensor won't activate. The home button will work, but not the touch feature. What could be the problem?
Is there any way to transfer the flex cable from the original button to a new one so that touch id will still work? Trying to change the color of the button during a screen and rear assembly replacement
Hey Man, I almost break my iPhone 5s because of this video! You said "Little connector needs to be pointed to the right" at 5:03 that should be the left side..
+Lai Mino Hlu You're right! I don't know why people didn't point that out. These videos are very misleading, people follow them and ruin their devices. Because of this idiot, I destroyed that connector since this guy said to point it towards the "right".
Good for you the only thing I don't agree with your comment is that humans don't appreciate it someone else time and this guy make a video so we can learn but he forgets appointed that part showing the Flexi. So for experience next time pay for someone professional to do the job
My main concern with this video is the little metal piece you said had to go in place or the touch ID may not work properly. That little piece started off in a different orientation then you put it at the end of the video. And I can say from experience the position at the end of the video is not the correct position. If you are able to put that bracket in the position you have it in the video at the end, that means you have damaged the bracket and bent it to get it to sit that way.
When i removed the connector that is in black and silver, it made my new sensor work. But if i did not remove it, my new sensor button would not work at all. My iphone couldn't read my fingerprint
Has anyone successfully gotten Apple to replace a broken home button on an out of warranty device? If so how much did it cost? The only other option here is to do it myself but then TouchID won't work so what the hell...
I have an iPhone 5 and do not like the style of the button and was wondering if I could buy one of these replacement 5s buttons with a flex cable to replace it, if I take it into Apple will they be willing to do it for me?
Everyone else says the touch ID will not work unless it is paired by Apple. Why is that not mentioned in this video? Is that because you sell the buttons?
I know it Mighty be to Late nur Insasse u r still wondering - the Touch ID Sensor is paired to the prozessor through the Mac Adress, so in u Chance the button u Chance the Mac adress it wont work
+Bjorn sierink IS NOT NECESSARY, IT IS WHAT HE EXPLAIN WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT. I BROKE THE FINGERPRINT CABLE BY REPLACING THE BATTERY, GLAD THAT I FOUND THIS EXPLANATION FROM ( A TO Z!)
Your answer is the answer from someon that is not worth to walk around on this earth, it lacks empathy. To remember : this is Internet, it's information to get data without having to pay. As a trifle the absence of a pop filter showed disturbing was it than really not possible to contact personaly the owner of the video? Respect and thankfulness, the data that deserve your children but if I read your reaction? It was simply not necessary to made a reaction for the issue pop filter and at least not your reaction. I have to do with people as you, there is no judge... It is are answers from vermin, pest... Yes my English is VERY BAD, not SCHOOLEDUCATED English .. I learn English will driving the lorry everywhere in Europe, Great Britain - Ireland - Denmark - south Europe Italy- Spain whatever. Later I complete this English language on the PC . What you mean is: man stay away from this forum and come back when you have learn speaking English as we do??????? Excuses, learn to be a man, the future respectful father ... If you do not change are you children not word to be born... So simply is it... Note: I never act with words as this... You will not find on RU-vid this words I have written this night... I wake op... It is right now 05.00 hour in the morning, I read your message 04 hour... Wtf wtf wtf... I can't help it... Scam scam.., Change your habitute man...
If the cable gets changed it will not work. The button can be changed with out changing the button. If the cable gets changed, Apple can reprogram the new touch ID to the mother board. If Apple replaces the touch ID cable they will reprogram it to work on the iPhone. If you take an iPhone to them all ready repaired but needing the touch ID reprogramed, they may not work on it for you since they did not do the repair. Make sure the repair person knows what they are doing or take it to an Apple repair service center for the repair.
iphone 5s , 6 and 6 plus touch ID is still at a Toy level technology .. people who think their lucky, beware if its happend after warranty expired. maybe that why IOS 8 has assistive button ..
Nice work but what you didn't showed to the public if if really works or not. You cut the video and not turn the phone on to show the public the you Touch ID never work haha 👎🏿
WOW... Reading through the comments, no wonder people are having problems with their finger scanner after following this guide. Its wrong! The bracket which gets screwed in with the finger scanner ribbon cable is being put in the wrong position, the bracket does not sit on the right hand side. They sit on the left and the clear metal tip hovers over the screw position. Look in the video at where you have just taken the original screen off, the bracket is sitting correctly but then when you refit the button to the new screen you have decided to make a new position up. Please don't follow this guide!!
Your sensor is never going to work since your sensor is unique and i is paired to your logic board so the only way to fix it is to buy a logic board for your 5s + the original touch id for it to get it work You cannot use a aftermarket touch id, altought it is very similar and profesional build it is not going to work since it is not paired with your logic board. Only way is to buy a new logic board with the touch id wich is paired to it but prepair to pay €230 for it ;)
Lorenzo van het Hul Is it paired with the cable or the home button itself?? I have water damage on my connector between the home button and the snap on connector to the cable, so I have touch ID but the button itself doesn't work.
Open up your phone and look at the connector. I reccomend you to take the home button out and put is in isopropyl alcohol for 24 hours. And if possible, take your motherboard out and put it in alcohol for 24 hours. It also could ve your logic board
Not possible to get new touch id to work with new screen, make sure you use original touch id with new lcd. www.cultofmac.com/252406/apple-pairs-every-touch-id-sensor-to-its-a7-chip-to-make-them-super-secure/
finger print is a Apple repair only, cause the sensor is specific for its cpu/board........ maybe it has the sensor but it doesn't do anything! A technician without esd workspace hilarious!
Its kind of funny how you don't pay attention to were the connection spring goes and put it back in the wrong place lol shouldn't be making videos of how to do anything
