Replaced a screen on a 7 today. During the process, I accidentally broke the small black cable that has the pins that touch the ear speaker on. The rest of the front camera flex is fine, just that section is physically broken. Now, the phone is going into boot loop. It’s showing the Apple logo and the home button is responsive, but is just loading over and over. Thanks in advance. Sam.
Replace the whole flex. This is a common issue if that flex gets damaged. It happens, because the iPhone will only boot when all of its components work properly. So with the flex being partially broken, it will boot loop until the flex is replaced.
