cool video Jesse thanks for sharing definitely not a cheap video working out the cash for that What’s crazy is honestly probably someone is manually reviewing the parts and the checklist or maybe that’s the secret code tap it so many times lol

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

haha i doubt it's a manual process

[@BaxromXudoyberdiyiv]

Merci Jesse

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Appreciate it! Thank you so much

[@mithunkhan937]

very informative video thanks for sharing..i also want to know the older version iphone like 14,14 pro,pro max what will happened if you use locked phon display or parts..thanks.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Good question! I've heard it is possible, but never tried it before

[@kennethgarcia533]

can you try this on 12 pro max please

[@gamlesleyyillom4244]

I’m interested in the phones. How much are you selling. And can you ship outside the USA?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

I'm not selling outside of the USA

[@cobblehillsfighter]

Jesse, If you will sell it, depend on the price, let me to know… Cheers

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

$1500!

[@blitzkrieg33]

I’m curious if pairing new parts to the iCloud locked phone free up the old parts that were taken from it. There is a chance it wasn’t logging out of FMI, and you pairing other parts to the iCloud locked phone instead.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Good question. I'll experiment with that & post an update

[@abdulsalim7643]

Is there a way I can join your board repair online ??

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Yes, you can sign up here: 90 Day Advanced Solder Course: vccboardrepairs.com/90-day-course

[@AliAhmed-tp8hn]

Can we do this iPhone xs to 15 pro max or only iPhone 16? Please let me know

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

No

[@mrbigb12]

So will it fully reject 3rd party parts?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Well there are no 3rd party parts available yet. Even then, it should work fine with aftermarket parts. You just can't calibrate them.

[@allsoulsmatterministries5468]

What screw driver do you use.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

In this video, I used the Refox 3D Screwdriver set: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBT3NWF

[@sushles]

You should have put one phone in lost mode

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

I will try that next!

[@Techkorede]

Pls sponsor to come to USA 🇺🇸 I want to be working with u pls ❤❤

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

I am not hiring

[@Jbrimbelibap]

It didn't even work in the end, good job Apple. It is malicious compliance again, or did they make something that doesn't work on their own will ? I was hoping that this would be retroactive, work on older models but looks like it's pointless anyway

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Yeah who knows

[@0xALaLa]

You’re very impatient.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

You're not wrong

[@0xALaLa]

@@VCCBoardRepairs I dislike it as well “being impatient” I can be myself. Here seems more time line is important.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

I didn't have all day to be Livestreaming. I also have a business to run 😅

[@0xALaLa]

@@VCCBoardRepairs Ik brother just remember each moment is dedicated to its own thing. Reduce slots increase rate once work load is completed resume productivity and rate.

[@adamfewings1273]

Too boot into diag mode you need to turn phone off and while holding volume up and down connect to power when apple logos shows let go of button and will boot into diag mode 👍

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Yep!

[@ooloo01]

So you go through the effort of the whole video, but you don’t do the camera calibration when the iCloud locked parts are in? The only helpful bit here would be to see the full calibration and then the settings after with the still iCloud locked parts rather than cancelling the configuration right at the end of it

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Correct. I had to do it off camera because it's a clunky process take took several minutes to finally complete it. New videos will be coming with more details on the process

[@ooloo01]

@@VCCBoardRepairs but in the video it looks like you never finished calibration with the iCloud locked parts on right? Because afterwards we should have seen the parts history show some say genuine, and the others say locked? Or something else like used? Instead it still said finish repair for all parts That’s what I was watching this video for, I wanted to know what it looked like after finishing the calibration with iCloud locked parts

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

It was a Livestream event of brand new devices. I did what I could while I was live. I also have a repair shop I'm running. Don't worry, I will post more info as I learn more about how this all works The key thing we learned is that it does detect iCloud locked parts, but does let you use them as before. My biggest concern is if the iCloud locked parts would lock your phone down completely, which is not the case

[@ooloo01]

@@VCCBoardRepairs ok but we don’t know that of you finished the calibration it may lock them out after that part, we don’t know because you removed the iCloud lock and then calibrated

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

I literally have the phones in front of me. I can easily re do that test right now New video will come. No need to freak out about it

[@tanasovtim]

1st?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Congratulations 🎉

[@georgemarijanovich]

Does any one know why are people still using Apple products, specially iPhones?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

People like them?

[@georgemarijanovich]

@@VCCBoardRepairs I wonder what's there to like. You as a repairer should know how they f..k with people and make it a nightmare for us repairers to repair them.
