Case 1 iPhone XS Aftermarket Screen True Tone Restoration With Original Screen
Go to Settings>General>About and check the software version of the phone – iOS 13.2. Tap Display & Brightness. We can see that the True Tone has been turned on with the switch being green. Turn off the phone and take apart the phone.
Disconnect the battery and remove the original screen. Continue to remove the front panel sensor assembly flex cable. And install the detached cable to the new aftermarket screen. Get the aftermarket screen installed and press the power button to turn on the phone.
Go to Settings>General>About to check the software version of the phone – iOS 13.2. Tap Display & Brightness. We can see that the true tone option has vanished. Power off and remove the aftermarket screen.
Now, let’s restore the true tone with the multi-functional programmer.
First, connect the display extended module with the programmer. Next, connect the original screen with the display extended module. Press the ‘Check’ button on the programmer. The indicator light is on. Continue to press the ‘Read’ button on the programmer. The programmer starts to read data.
Once finished, disconnect the original screen and connect the aftermarket screen with the display extended module. Press the ‘Check’ button on the programmer. The indicator light is on. Press the ‘Write’ button on the programmer. The programmer starts to write the data to the aftermarket screen. Once finished, disconnect the aftermarket screen.
Now we can assemble the phone and test. Get the aftermarket screen installed and connect the battery. Press the power button to turn on the phone. The phone turns on normally. Go to Settings>General>About and check the software version of the phone – iOS 13.2. Tap Display & Brightness. We can see this time that the True Tone has been turned on with the switch being green.
