iPhone 13: iPhone 13 stuck in recovery mode during update

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 16:20:14 -0700

When I tried to update my phone to iOS 26.2, it went to recovery mode. I tried to update it several times, then tried to restore it three times. I took it to the Apple store where they pretty much did the same thing and then I was told that there is probably a hardware issue with the logic board and that I would have to get everything replaced. I replaced my back housing over the summer so there is a possibility that I put it back together wrong but it was working fine over the past few months so I doubt it. Does anyone know how to fix this or has anyone had this problem in the past?

iPhone 13: Battery still shows service even after tagon flex

Mon, 19 May 2025 02:15:12 -0700

I have tried 2 things:

1- i moved original BMS to a new battery then i added a pre programmed tag on flex and instructions says after i turn on device, battery should say unverified. Which it did, then you restart the phone and it should go away and show 100%. Except, no, after a restart phone shows service and displays 79%.

2- Many repairs guides shows them using any battery, without switching BMS, they simply add the Tag on and follow the steps above. Again, it did the same, displayed unverified then a restart makes it go back to service and 79%.

iPhone 13: After battery replacement, phone shows 1% after restart

Thu, 03 Apr 2025 05:57:25 -0700

I've replaced the battery twice and have had this issue both times (same phone). On restart, phone that was previously charged will show 1% battery and give a low battery warning. This doesn't happen on every restart. If attached to a charger, it will quickly charge back up to around the previous level, see screenshot.

iPhone 13: Cracked screen not working after replacement

Mon, 27 Jan 2025 05:05:22 -0700

Hi all. I am no expert in phone repairs so I appreciate any input! I cracked my iPhone 13 screen by falling onto it. The screen had multiple cracks but was still fully functioning and responsive with no lines / spots.

I took it for repair but when I collected it there was an issue:

The new screen (OLED) would work only when at certain angles (not within the phone shell) and was VERY dim.
The old screen when tested again would not display an image at all - unsure if it is responsive to touch

The repair engineer suggested that the initial fall that cracked the screen could also have damaged something within the phone, which was made worse when removing the cracked phone screen. Although I’m not sure how knowledgable this guy was.

The situation now is I have a phone that is working (e.g. sounds being made when plugged in to charge etc.) but a screen that isn’t working.

I appreciate that without any further information it could be difficult to diagnose. Are there any common causes for this issue that are somewhat easy to fix? Or does anyone have any reasonably priced recommendations for repair shops in London?

iPhone 13: Will disconnecting battery before powering phone off harm my repair?

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 08:48:44 -0700

Dropped my phone yesterday and got a screen replacement kit today. Screen wont turn on and is black, but notifications are buzzing - so I know the phone is on. I want to replace the screen ASAP, but know it is best to have the phone powered off. Will anything bad happen if I open the phone, disconnect the battery, and then complete the screen switch before finally connecting the battery again if I'm unable to turn the phone off because the screen is black? Thanks.

iPhone 13: My phone is stuck bootlooping and has Radio RF Frontend error?

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 02:13:41 -0700

My phone froze the other day and then after a few hours turned on again but without the ability to read my sim, after that I went to apple live chat support and using their diagnosis tool they said it was with the Radio RF Frontend and something about Esim too and after that before bringing it to the apple service center, the phone bootlooped even as I brought it to the service center. How fixable is this problem?
