My question is this: I changed the battery on my iPhone 5 and now it won't turn on anymore. When I connect it to my PC, it goes into recovery mode, but it freezes at the end and gives me error 16. I read somewhere that it's a hardware error. I tried another battery, removing and reinserting it a couple of times, and it's still doing the same thing. The phone was working perfectly fine. Oh, and I can't do a hard reset or anything. It only turns on when I connect it to the computer and automatically goes into recovery mode. Does anyone know what it could be?OpenAuthorless asked 12 years ago • Fallas2786 views0 answers0 votes
