iPhone X: iPhone x in reboot loop

Sun, 19 Jul 2020 13:12:45 -0700

Hey y'all, my iPhone x recently got stuck in a reboot loop. I let it do its thing until the battery died, plugged it in and it powered on. My phone behaved normally for about 20 minutes, then back to reboot loop. I tried this again, and after researching I decided to quickly go to settings and do an iOS update. Which worked, for about three days. I've connected it to iTunes and recieved the notification that something was wrong and I needed to update or restpre. I tried both and toward the end of the process it said neither could be completed. Not sure what to try next? Thanks!

iPhone X: How difficult is doing board level repairs on an iPhone X?

Thu, 25 Jun 2020 21:28:33 -0700

I have an Iphone X that I believe has a faulty Charging IC, however after doing a bit of research about doing board level repair work on an Iphone X I saw others essentially taking their heating tools and separating the entire board into sections, as the Iphone X board apparently is several layers of chips all stacked on top of one another.

My main concern, then, is essentially whether or not I’ll need to reball literally the entire perimeter of the board once I engage in this separation or if the balling is simply there to help keep everything together, and a few joints here or there that aren’t 100% perfect won’t affect the functionality of the device. If it’s the former then I might just have to skip the X when it comes to board level repairs, because that’s a level of commitment that’s far and above what was required for previous models of both Iphone AND Android phones.

As an addendum: If anyone does have advice for actually doing the IC replacement as well those comments are also welcome.

iPhone X: Rear/Front camera not working after screen replacement.

Sat, 07 Sep 2019 12:27:39 -0700

So, I bought a broken iPhone X on eBay the dealer said he dropped the phone by accident and the phone just shattered in pieces, the glass was cracked and the screen was cracked and the pixels we’re dead so I couldn’t see anything on the screen. After I realised what I was up against I bought an OLED screen for the phone and moved all the parts to the new screen. Everything worked but when I booted the phone I get a message saying that the FaceID isn’t working and when I open the camera app the camera wont load anything rear and front so I am thinking it’s because the front camera wont activate and so the FaceID wont work, but to be honest I have no idea. I have no idea what I have done wrong and yes before you ask the dealer did say he didn’t change anything on the phone, and before removing the screen I did unplug the battery and yes I have checked both cameras, dot projector, IR camera, Proximity sensor and nothing seems damaged. So I have no idea what I have to do, help will be extremely helpful obviously. :)

iPhone X: iPhone X died after dropping, checking on how to save the datas

Mon, 09 Jul 2018 11:26:31 -0700

Hi, was wondering if anyone could help me. So my iphone X dropped and broke the whole lcd probably because it won't turn on anymore and if I charge it gets really hot. If I attached the charging cable to my laptop it doesn't read/recognize and again it gets hot on the upper part. I haven't sent them to fix yet as I was worried about my data. I wanted to save them first before I hand them to apple. But the thing is I didn't do any backup and no icloud nor no itunes activated. Any means how am I able to save my data? The third party really is a rip off so I was hoping there are other means where I can do it myself? Thank you.

iPhone X: How come the replacement screen I bought doesnt match my phone?

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 09:52:54 -0700

I have an iphone x and was trying to replace my screen. On the left is the screen i received - it seems to have support brackets all the way around and does not fit my phone. However, my original screen does not have these brackets and is flat all the way around. Does anyone know what my problem is + why my iphone x seems to be different than the normal one?

if this is the correct screen…how are these tabs supposed to fit into what looks to be a flat bracket covering?

also comparing other iphones online, mine looks to be a bit different with this top area as well? anyone know whats going on here?

iPhone X: iPhone X Display Not Responding to Touch After Screen and Battery Repl

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 12:56:46 -0700

About half a year ago, I replaced the screen and battery of my iPhone X after the original screen was damaged. Both the screen and battery I used are not original Apple parts. From the very first day after the replacement, the display touch has been intermittently unresponsive. I tried all possible software fixes, including a force reset, which sometimes temporarily resolved the issue. However, the problem has now worsened, and the display touch is completely unresponsive.

I've opened the phone several times, unplugging and cleaning the display and battery connectors before reconnecting them. Each time, the touch functionality returns but only for a few hours before it stops working again. The last time, I only unplugged and reconnected the battery cable, and the touch started working again, but the issue returned after a few hours. I also ran diagnostics using 3uTools and received the error "Problem connecting CPU and peripherals Panic CPU x caller."

Could this be a hardware issue with the replacement parts, or is there something else I should investigate? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

iPhone X: How to reset Maximum Capacity with New Battery

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 10:11:25 -0700

Update:
I've now chosen to recommend my customers to replace the entire battery and just deal with the non genuine battery warning. That way we are not reusing used battery parts and everything feels much more professional.

Original Post:
Hey there,

I replaced a battery on a customer's iPhone X with a ampsentrix battery. Also used my icopy2 programmer to program the new battery.

I got him to try performing a full drain and charge to calibrate it with no luck. He even did it twice.

How can the "maximum capacity" be reset?

Thanks

iPhone X: Powered up after opening case!

Thu, 20 Jun 2024 17:15:00 -0700

Hi,

I removed my SIM card and powered down my iPhone X prior to opening the case to do a screen change, almost immediately the phone lit up? try as I might holding one side of the case with one hand while trying to power off with my other hand it just wasn’t possible, so I immediately removed the battery connector. Before I go ahead with the screen change I was hoping that you can reassure me that nothing would have happened to the software or other parts, the phone was only with power for approximately 45 seconds.
