How to fix error 4013 iPhone boot loop problem how to fix it easily.

Thank you for this very useful video!!! i was wondering if it may also apply to an iPad 7th gen? i'm worried that otherwise i might have to perform a cpu reball and that's not an easy feat to achieve, specially not in my country.

where can I order a replacement for that faulty cable? thank you!!!

what is the name of the cable and where to purchase?

taking the sim out and throwing it in a different one... thank you. I only hit my head for an hour or so...

you are a genuinely kind person for making this video, i would have been truly lost for months if it wasn't for you. Thank you so much

Thank you for this! 100% worked for me! iphone 6 LOL

Oh a BILLION thank you sir, your method worked 😉...

have an iphone 11 pro max same problem open the phoned disconected all the cables and reconncted them without that one little plug didnt work

Can't wait to try this. After hearing what you said I'm fairly certain I'm having the same problem with my X. I tried calling a friend a day or two before it crapped out and we both couldn't hear one another. Thanks for sharing.

This video is working in May 2023. Thank you man for saving me!!!!

Worked for me. Thanks so much for sharing the info!

Am I able to buy a new ear piece and will it work or is the problem in de software or motherboard??

A million times thank you it worked after getting some water in it and it kept the loop, opened it disconnected the strip and boom turned on enough for me to back it up to my new phone

So it‘s 2023 and i gotta say this really saved my phone and data. I have an iPhone 11 Pro and my phone just randomly turned off and went into recovery mode. I got Error 4013 when trying to update it. I tried all kinds of software and nothing helped. So i opened it up, unplugged the face ID cable and it really worked. The only issue i still have is that my phone turns off, reboots every 2-3 minutes and overheats pretty fast. So backing it up is kinda impossible right now. Could this be a battery issue, or do you know what else it could be? Thanks so much for this information🙏🏻

Absolute legend !!! I spent ages before finding your video. My son will be delighted .

Dude I love you. This is an iPhone 12 Repair that I have and I just fixed it by taking off the ear speaker cable and restoring it.

You're the best! Sending love from The Mobile Phone Doctor in Tampa Bay!

Thank you much for this but can you pls direct me where to buy the PA from please ???? And is it standard oem or third party hardware?

Thanks for this video. However in my case, it did not fix it. I had this problem after reassembling and replacing the motherboard. I took everything apart again, except the mobo. There was probably a shortage or a flex cable I did not plug correctly. I put back everything again but booting up the phone after putting one by one, front cam, rear cam, and finally the speaker / sensor. The speaker is the last part I put back and it worked.

removed cable and now instead of 4013 i get error 9... it finally looks like it will restore, iphone gets spinning wheel and loading bar appears, then boot loops to recovery mode again. FUCK

iPhone SE 2nd gen is giving me the same error message thru iTunes in the middle of a restore. Besides the phone being disabled due to my son forgetting his passcode, the phone stays on with no problem

Worked for me thanks!!! I just cut the cable cause I didn't have all the tools.

Thank You!!!~~~~!!! Repeating what many have said, my screen had a small corner crack down into the digitizer right in the area of the face ID and speaker, welding in the rain last night my phone shut down and started the boot loop issue, tried everything, tore the phone apart, removed battery to make it shut down, unhook all the connections in the phone, redo it all turn it on and boot loop still there, so forced the phone into recover mode, tried updating, boot loop prevented, tried resetting the phone, boot loop prevented it.... Was about to give up and head to buy a new phone but googled error 4013 and your video came up, soon as I you said unhook and turn back on it made total sense, mine likely fried in the rain last night causing the boot loop issue! Major thank you for taking the time to post this video, it definitely helped me when nothing else worked!!!! Subscribed!

Will it work for an iPad? It’s stuck in boot loop and doing everything you have shared.

hey tim i got an iphone xs max i have tried everything you tried and when i ordered a new front speaker assembly with the new prox sensor and my phone is still stuck in boot loop do you have any idea what else could be causing this i am running out of ideas :(

Hi Tim, thank you very much for this video! Helped me tons, happy I could save my data!

Best video i've came across
found on reddit someone talk about unplug 1 out of 3 cables that might cause the issue (plus another video ) and now im sure that this is the issue
(Edit : this worked for me 100% I had boot loop, water damage and iTunes error 4013)

Hi Tim, I wanted to know what happened to your phone after replacing the parts. I have 2 questions that I am hoping you can answer.

1. What was the part you replaced? Was it called earpiece speaker sensor assembly?
2. If the part you replaced was the earpiece speaker sensor assembly, did your face ID stop working after replacing the part?

I truly appreciate all of your help as I researched this for a long time without getting anywhere until I saw your video.

This definitely bypasses something that must be a commonly faulty hardware piece. While it did work to allow me to get it to finally update through iTunes, when I hooked the disconnected cord back up, it unfortunately went back into a logo boot loop. Still though, least I know I can access the phone again to double check all y data is correctly backed up for the time being. Thank you very much for this video.

Can you take the cable all the way out ? Or what do I do until I get a new one ???

Tim I don't know how to thank you. I can confirm that this method worked on my iPhone 11 Pro Max in July 2022. Phone was in bootloop for 3 months - several Apple Stores in Germany couldnt fix it and I didn't want to loose my data.

I pluged out the Face ID cable and it worked!!!!! All my data is restored - I am spechless.

genius thx!

This doesn’t work on a 12 or newer. With I had known that before opening my phone and messing up the LCD.

OMG you are an absolute legend bro. I spent 7 hrs, including official support, nothing helped.
You were the last resort and now my phone is successfully restored!!
You deserve to be called genius.

Sincere thanks from S.Korea

Hi Tim, thanks for this. Is it necessary to heat up the iphone XS screen before taking it off? Also, are any tools required to disconnect the wires or can this be done by hand? thanks!

thanks man !!! unplugged the flex cable the phone boots up fine after weeks trying to find a solutions , . I really appreciate you post it.

Thanks, this worked on iPhone 11 Pro.

Thank you so much
like i see you have done a lot for all of us
Thank you

Did you replace just the cable or the entire earpiece speaker and front sensor assembly?

Hey man! I have the same Error 4013 and tried everything and now saw your video... First of all thanks a lot but i sadly cant do it since its an Ipad (7th generation) and i dont know what cable it is there causing the issue and how its fixed. Do you maybe have an idea or advice? Would appreciate it a lot :)

Literally from hassling with iTunes for hrs . Seen this video And ripped my screen off with my bare hands and pried it open with my nails instantly had nothing else to loose 😂 took 5 mins

Crazy thank you man . I woke up to my phone bsn and from history on other iPhones sometimes factory resetting doesn’t even work . Easy quick fix if you don’t care about talking on the phone , And surprisingly my front camera still works . Nice quick video that got straight to the point . I appreciate it 💯

I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max doing the same thing , took it for repair and they said the need to change the sensor or something like that and the sensor cost $250 to fix, how much does it actually cost?.
I have watched tons on videos and your video was the only one that helped

Thanks Tim. I can confirm this worked for me - got me out of the 4013 boot loop. It's an iPhone XR - been dropped way too many times. Got stuck in the boot loop, tried the iTunes Update, and that would always fail after applying the update because the phone would inevitably reboot. Tried a new USB cable - same thing. Found your video, and tried this - took me about 10 mins to unscrew the screen, heat it up, and remove it, and find the earpiece cable, and then remove it - after that, restarted the iPhone, used iTunes to update it, and got back into the phone. Thanks for that!

Thx it worked 👍🏼👍🏼

Hi Tim, I'm experiencing same issue on my IP7 A1660. Struggling with software and firmware but same troubles. But before I had this issue my phone could not reach network coverage. That's why I went for a reinstallation back to original state. And since this, I was never able to activate it again... until this point. Similar to you or just went off after working fine?
