How to repair iPhone 6s Plus stuck at Apple Logo endless reboot



Recently, Vipprog made a guide on the repair iPhone 6s Plus displays Apple logo after power on and then continuous reboot. This iPhone 6s Plus was broken once and repaired, but not working.

Firstly, root by iTunes, and it shown 4013 error code. It will display UDID information when using i4 software to root. Generally, the showing of Apple logo and reboot and reporting error code 4013 most because of the damage of NAND Flash IC. But this iPhone can show UDID information, so NAND FLASH IC is not likely to be damaged.

Second, disassemble the iPhone and found that motherboard has been fixed many times. CPU, EEPROM and USB chip are all be welded. First clean the remaining soldering paste and observe whether these welded places has any component dropping off under microscope. After making sure no component dropping off, replace the NAND Flash and root. But iPhone still reports error code 4013. The problem in CPU is less likely happen.

Third, according to repair experience, there is a same problem happens because of the short circuit of iPhone 6S power IC. Remove the baseband chip and iPhone displays white Apple logo and reboot later. Replace a new baseband power chip and everything becomes normal. After researching the iPhone working principles, we find iPhone 6S baseband chip communicate with CPU by PCIE bus. During the power on process, the PCIE bus will be initialized. Therefore, the improper work of baseband will lead to white Apple loge showing when power on.

Fourth, Find a normal iPhone 6S and reboot it. Measure the baseband power supply when it shows white Apple logo. The power supply exists already and the working condition for baseband has been satisfied. The baseband supply’s bitmap is shown in picture 1-1.

Fiveth, Root the faulty motherboard and measure the baseband power supply when the white Apple logo is showing. We find that PP_0V9_SMPS1 and PP_1V0_SMPS3’s power supply has been produced, while PP_1V225_SMPS2 and PP_1V85_SMPS4 has not. That suggests there is nothing wrong with baseband power. It is very likely that the baseband chip is empty soldered or damaged. The circuit diagram of baseband power supply is shown in picture 1-2.

Finally, Remove the baseband and measure the diode data of the circuit towards chip and CPU. The data is normal. Tin the baseband chip and weld it on motherboard. Root it and everything becomes normal. This iPhone 6s Plus has been repaired.
