Simple to do, about 20 mins, but Touch ID isnt working as some others mentioned. I wondered if a fresh instal might help? When I go into "Setting" and " Touch ID" to turn on, it tells me "Failed - Unable to complete Touch ID setup. Please go back and try again." Any ideas, not a deal breaker, I guess it beats picking glass out of the side of my face when trying to use the phone!
Did you replace the "Full Assembly" or just the front LCD?
If you replaced the full assembly (and transferred over only your TouchID) you most likely have a faulty TouchID Ribbon Cable that runs behind the LCD Shield Plate. You can swap over your original and it should restore functionality.
If, however, you replaced just the front screen you most likely damaged either your TouchID sensor or your TouchID Ribbon Cable that runs behind the LCD Shield Plate. You can replace the LCD Shield Plate and restore functionality, but you cannot restore functionality by replacing the TouchID sensor without Apple's assistance.

Full Assembly - Product code: IF269-000-3, I moved over my original TouchID as the new assembly did not come with another TouchID Ribbon cable. TouchID worked prior to replacement, if I damaged it I am not sure how, I was very delicate. The Home Button otherwise works perfect. I have replaced numerous screens, this is a first with TouchID though. Thanks

If it ends up that the fault was in that LCD Shield Plate, email support@ifixit.com and they'll get you sorted with a small reimbursement for the part swap :)

Hi Matt,
I experienced the same issue as Bazzoni.
After a battery replacement, neither the speakers, nor the Touch ID function are working anymore on an iPhone 5s. ANyway the home button works correctly.
Do you think that re-initialize the iOS to 10.3 could help?
dcasolini tarafından
I am having exactly the same problem for my 5s. Does anyone have a solution?
bbip90 tarafından
@dcasolini I would recommend restarting your iPhone to see if that resolves things. If you didn't turn the phone off and disconnect the battery prior to repair that is almost certainly the issue. If the problem persists, try reinstalling and checking that components are installed on the screen accurately and connected. to the board.
Matt Zieminski tarafından
I had this issue my 1st few times replacing customer's screen.
Method #1: Each time I took the home button from the screen they originally had on the iPhone & swapped it with the new home button. That then fixed the issue each time.
Method #2: For the times there was only 1 home button present, I suggested that they 1st backup their iPhone using a computer. 2ndly do I clean wipe of the iPhone. 3rdly restore the iPhone from backup. Which will replace all of your files & settings back into your phone as they were.
Both of those methods worked every time I ran across that issue. However, if neither of the 2 fixes work for you, then YES. It is indeed a hardware part that has been damaged during the screen replacement & you should order a new piece.
If you get the "touch ID" error when installing the new piece it is only due to the old home button being registered to the iPhone's system itself & will be fixed with method #2.
WHEN RESTORING, UPDATING OR FRESHLY INSTALLING IOS ON THE IPHONE, THE PARTS REGISTER TO THE IOS SYSTEM OF THE PHONE. Hope this helps you guys & gals.

#2 didn't work for me (only caused me to lose all my settings using Apples stupid iTunes backup/restore scheme)... #1 worked well though - thanks

Method #2 worked for me, I had kept the original home button, and did an update but the error persisted. After an entire restore, phone is like new. Thanks!

Going to try #2. I don't know why I didn't think of that to begin with. I had someone replace my screen and LCD but do have the original home button. If it doesn't work after a restore I will check the ribbon cable since the home button is original to the phone.

You can fix this with iTunes. Do a software repair and it will work again (if the hardware is still oké) I think it happens when the iPhone is not turned off when you open it.

I had the same problem. After screen replacement it's not working.
I fixed it accidentally though.
So here's what I did:
I installed IOS 11 Beta and within IOS 11 the touch ID was all good. I was very exited to have my touch ID working again. The only problem was- the IOS Beta was not stable and my phone was restarting all the time, so I had to downgrade back to IOS 10.
I was pretty sure that I'm losing the touch ID again.
Now I'm back on latest IOS 10 and The touch ID is working perfectly fine with my after market screen.

when ur touch id wasn't wroking did u get a popup message that the touch id isnt working?
simon peters tarafından
This is a first for me. Normally when I replace a display and move the original home button to the new screen, it is a 50/50 chance it will work.. I just installed a new display on a 6s using all the aftermarket parts, and just replacing the oem home button. Well, initially it failed on fingerprint id. I reset, I did an update, still failed. So, as a last attempt I restored fully to 11.2.5 and when it completed, the fingerprint function was working again. I was just about to move the oem home button ribbon, but did not need to do that.

You might wanna check if you really peel off the TouchID ribbon cable on the Shield Plate correctly. There's a small piece of plate that attach behind the TouchID ribbon cable and it's important for you to peel off the TouchId ribbon cable with the plate and transfer it to the new LCD.
Yorumlar:
Do you happen to know why this element is so crucial?
Andrzej Grabowski tarafından
Because 9 times out of 10 the home button extension cable fails when replugging multiple times or even once without the metal plate under the extension cable connector to home button cable.
Note that I am not talking about the large wide metal bracket that goes across the home button to let it click on pressure.
Ben tarafından
What does that metal plate do though? That was the only thing I left behind when I replaced my screen last weekend.

THIS IS WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, THANK YOU FOR FIGURING OUT WHAT WE ARE ALL DOING WRONG WHEN WE REPLACE THE SCREEN,
"forgetting to peel off a small piece of plate that attach behind the TouchID ribbon cable"
*There it was, still on my old broken screen, just had to switch it to the new one and now I have my Touch ID back because of you! THANK YOU :)

Is it the same for iPhone 7? I have changed a broken screen and are reusing the original home button. Now the home button don't work at all with the new screen but still works with the old broken screen. Something is wrong with the new screen. My assembly or the cable. I can't figure out what small piece of plate you mention. Maybe it´s different for iPhone 7.

i think you must replace the home button flex extension cable, if you can't finish the id setup. If you see on screen at start up that id cant be used it is the home button itself.
Hello,
So I am also experiencing the same problem. I recently changed screen on the iPhone 6 (gold). This is the third time I replaced an iPhone 6 screen but this is the first time I encountered problem with the Touch ID. After replacing the screen, I booted up the phone and checked Touch ID on the setting. It was on and still got the 5 registered fingers. I wanted to re-register the Touch ID for some crazy reason. So I deleted the 5 and turned off Touch ID. Then it stopped working upon re opening the Touch ID. But I noticed that the Add a Fingerprint button is still active. I have a spare iPhone 6 (space gray) with a faulty Touch ID. I compared it. I noticed differences on it like the the fingerprint button on the space gray is grayed out vs on the gold which is blue. On the space gray iphone, there’s an error message “Unable to activate Touch ID on this iphone” while the gold doesn’t have. So, I am wondering if I can still make the Touch ID on the gold iPhone work. By the way, the gold iPhone is on iOS 11.1 Beta. Anyone? Thanks!

Hi all I have replaced many iphone 6 screens and have never manged to get the touch ID to work with the replacement parts. But as soon as I use the original back plate and home button from the original screen it works straight away. You guys are lucky I guess.

Hmmm..
Im having the same problem except my dilemma is a little different... I so replaced the screen on my Iphone 6 plus i mean the whole screen... The screen i ordered already had all the replacement parts installed on it so all i had to do was literally slap it on and call it a day but...... Im having the issue of it saying Touch ID is unable to active.... confused!!!! I tried all of the suggestions in the above comments and still nothing!!!! Help!!!
I have this problem and I have spent a good hour reading all of these posts. Seeing people's solutions. I have seen replace the backplate, did it, still broke. I checked the button under a literal microscope from my office. I brought it to my friend at Apple who replaced the button. Still broken and I can't figure it out. If anyone has had this problem and has fixed with the same work I've had or atleast close please respond.

From my place it seems to be that if the screen is an 'after market' one. (i.e. non apple). then it comes with some firmware whcih isnt compatible with the apple firmware button. the new screen firmware is identified and blocked by apple. Try a full restore and if a full restore is prevented by iTunes because it doesnt recognise your phone then this is most likely the answer.

Iphone 6 S- I have replaced whole LCD assembly including home button and Touch Id stopped working. I have followed post here and factory reset Iphone- No help. I ended up moving my old home button from broken screen to a new screen and Touch ID is working fine now

As for that one, you need to replace your original home button to your replacement lcd screen because iTouch iPhone home buttons are paired with its logic board for security reasons. Sure this will help
Jm Alonzo tarafından
OK, you changed the display and installed the original home button and Touch ID doesn’t work: then this helped me:
first check that all home button connectors (right at the button and where it connects to the mainboard) are clean, set up properly and have a good connection.
If the problem still exists:
grab your old display and take off the metal shield from the back. 6 or 7 little screws, not too complicated. Take note which screws in which order you replaced to get it off. It has a home button ribbon cable glued to the inside of the shield.
Open your phone one more time, take the display off, exchange the metal plate with the glued-on cable from your original broken display, assemble everything back together: and there you go, good change Touch ID it will work again.
Just be very careful when assembling and disassembling, to not bend the cable too much or stretch it etc, use a good fixation as described in the tutorials.

This didnt work - I swapped iphone screens (got a new one) and had to move the old iphone home button over too for ti to work - apparently the fingerprint scanner/home button is coded to the phone hardware/.
Tom Thomas tarafından
Yes it is, it has been like that since 5S (touch ID function present in the home button),. Apple claims it is so so it prevents someone bypassing login on your phone which is mostly BS but bottom line each home button with touch ID is paired with that specific device mainboard and if you rip cable attached directly to button the only thing that can be done is new button and reprogramming by Apple machine that can do it which costs an arm and a leg.

On my iPhone 6+ with new screen fitted and original home button the fingerprint sensor had stopped working. This solution from Martin Williams worked perfectly first time round. Many thanks Martin.

This is great thank you method worked first time. I was so annoyed when my iphone6 screen was replaced after complete shatter, even though the Touch ID worked with the shattered screen once replaced it didn’t. Guy in the shop said no correlation, obviously it was. But this had worked perfectly thanks so much!

I had this exact problem after screen replacement and went without TouchID for months figuring I had somehow broken it. I recently reset the settings on the phone to try and fix an unrelated issue and an unexpected result was that TouchID now works again.

Had the same problem, there must’ve been some damage to the cable that runs behind the back plate. Because when I replaced it with a spare backplate it worked. I did put the phone all the way back together and did not test it while it was still open, because I did not want something strange to keep the fingerprint sensor from working
Hi! I had the same problem when I tried to disassemble and reassemble my iPhone 6S (I wanted to be sure I can make it before ordering a new screen).
When I powered it on to check if everything was working as usual, I found out that Touch ID wasn’t working anymore. I had a little bit of trouble disconnecting the home button and reconnecting all the other cables attached to the logic board, but I did every operation very gently. I thought it was hard that I made any physical damage.
I disconnected and reconnected everything another time, but Touch ID didn't start working. That's where I did some research on Google. I completely reassembled the phone, I was about to restore it with iTunes, I powered it on and boom, this time Touch ID was working.
I don't know, maybe this could be helpful to someone.
Does anyone know what caused that issue?
I had the same issue with 6S. To fix it I transferred the old button to a new screen. Everything is working fine now.

Turn it off, turn it on with on button and volume up held. Keep holding them until screen goes black. Wait a few seconds then turn on normally. Then set you fingerprint.
I think it is maybe a bios reset, but your files and apps are unaffected.

(i.e. non apple). then it comes with some firmware whcih isnt compatible with the apple firmware button. the new screen firmware is identified and blocked by apple.

This may be a dumb question but was the phone powered off and battery unplugged when you plugged in the front display cables?
If not you will need to turn the phone off and on and try the TouchID again.
Otherwise you probably either have a damaged home button ribbon connector / home button extension cable (the one that comes on the metal back plate to sit behind the screen assembly) or you are using a different home button and not the original one that is linked to the logic board.

The iPad deactivates the Touch ID Function permanently even for the original Home Button "maried" to it if you only one time connect another or no Home Hutton an swtich it on.
Alsways connect the original Home Button to the Display Assembly and then connect the Display Assambly an then Switch the iPad on otherwise the Touch ID fundtion is gone for no good reason eccept to pester and annoy you.
This sabotage bevahiour has no protective justification. It is possible to replace broken wires on the Touch ID Home button with the Touch ID still working means it is possible to Tinker atnd lissen to the cummunication over those wires to try to reengineer the security function without the device noticing it so disabeling the Touch ID function isn't protecting anything.

If the replacement screen is not an original Apple screen then the touch id will not work. You must replace the after market button with the original apple button from your old screen and even then it may not work. You must swap the buttons over before the replacement screen is connected to the phone. If you want the touch id to have a chance at working don't connect the replacement screen before the button is changed over.
Paul Ingarfield tarafından
Ok I did all that and it still does not work! I read that there are defects in the ribbon that connects to the home button , which runs under the las plate!
