Chosen Solution
I recently replaced my iPhone’s Screen and motherboard. It went perfectly well. Everything works thankfully. However, I noticed that the touch ID doesn’t work. After reading online, I’ve read that apparently the touch ID is made for a specific IMEI. So if the touch ID doesn’t match with what’s in the IMEI, it won’t work. But then I see other people say that they’ve succeeded in replacing the screen with an entirely new home button and have had the touch ID work. I just want clarification. Is there absolutely no way at all to make the touch ID work after a screen replacement with a new home button?
I never heard that the touch ID was linked to the IMEI. It’s done via a secure enclave more info in the handbook here: https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_… Anyway to be short, touch ID is linked to logic board and apple only can pair them. Touch ID will only work with the home button that came with the phone. Any others won’t work without apple pairing them.
