Hello, I have replaced the screen on an iPhone 5s. After replacement it couldn’t boot up properly, I mean it stuck on the apple logo. So I thought I could put it in DFU mode to restore it with iTunes. Once put in the DFU mode and connected to iTunes on a Mac, iTunes started to restore and downloaded the newest iOS. When it finished downloading it wrote “Waiting for iPhone”. Ok thats normal. But than accidentally on the phone appears a red screen. iTunes gives me an error 4013. Thought it could be the front camera as I faced that problem in the past already with other iPhones, so I disconnected only the front camera, but still same error. Thank you
Did you make sure the screws are not mixed up? Mixing up the screw can cause long screw damage to the board.
Even a damaged front camera flex can cause red screen of death boot if you didn’t know already.
According to Apple you would need to reinstall iTunes. And when Apple tells you to reinstall iTunes you know that’s a dumba** response. Maybe it was caused by the hardware because the iPhone 6s also encountered the same problem and have to use the original touch id cable for it to work. Try put your original home button and front camera module in the new screen and see if it works
