Hi, I bought some broken iPhones to repairing my free time and told the owners to delete the devices from their iCloud accounts so I could reset them when I repaired them. When opening the phone (6s), there was a lot of dirt inside and it turned out the screen had been replaced a couple of times. While disconnecting the homebutton i noticed that the cable was completely ripped of the button. I don’t want to go trough the trouble of buying a new one but I can’t reset it because its still pascode locked. Is there another way to do so? if so how? Thanks!
Put the phone in DFU or recovery mode and do a restore. I gather you have tools if you are repairing phones. · You will need to short pin 11 on the touch FPC to ground instead of pressing the home button.
Just swap a screen from another phone temporarily to reset it.
