Hey scotty! When the real iPhone didn’t boot it’s because the kernel data backup only backs up the core info of the chip (this does not include iOS ). So when it didn’t boot and was in recovery mode that was because it didn’t have an operating system installed. This is normal as I do these upgrades on a daily basis (I own a repair shop in Vancouver Canada called ring ring repair). Love your vids. Keep up the good work man!
@@JeremyWhite84 i would be frustrated if i were in a chinese market spread across 10 buildings as well lmao but yes this guy does look super stoned 24/7 without the red eye
Watching you push through the obstacles, practicing and reworking your methods is motivation enough for a lot of us. And watching you soak in that tiny little window of happiness and achievement in the end is just everything. You inspire us brother. Please carry on. Subscribed and liked.
It sure impresses me more than those that cut the fails and seem like they did it easily. Now I know it's not easy what he's done, and that gives a better understanding of the achievement he made by learning to do what he did.
Since I have found your channel some time ago, it has been big blessing to say the least. The memory upgrade project is speechless in terms of cost saving. Thank you, Scotty.
This video nicely sums up a programmers life You've got 99 problems, try to solve one, You have got 115 problems Edit : Wow 700 likes and a heart from Scotty himself!! this made my day!!
The Greatness of Being "DONE" after a series of serious pains and frustration is really satisfying :). Even as I watch you doing your thing their kinda excite me lol. You are a true iPhone wizard. Continue uploading great content :) many Thumbs up for you :).
Love your videos. Being a hobbyist phone repair person myself, it's very cool to see someone run through the same anger, grief, and eventually elation that comes with fixing or modding your own stuff. Awesome stuff :D
i think the point he was trying to make is that he can upgrade his phone storage in a few seconds by just plugging in a sd card instead of spending days and a few hundred bucks
Mario you can fit like five 1080p BluRay movies (or two 4K BluRay movies) in 256gb, allowing for space for the firmware. Do you want just five movies on your phone? Space is not often enough which is why most phones include an sd card slot.
If you complain that you can only fit 2-5 movies on 256gb, it's more you than the amount of storage you got lol. First of all, the average encoded 1080p blu ray rip is nowhere close to 40-45gb a movie, and second of all, maybe you should adjust your files to the device your using it with lol. Like it's of any use to put a 4k rip on a phone that can basically show no difference between 720p and 1080p
youfreaker you never download rips. Amateurs do that. You download source material. I have a Deadpool 1080p bluray thats 95gb so I don't know where the heck you got 45-50gb from. I have ender's game that's 112gb 4K bluray. So... Also, you can see the difference between 720p and 1080p. Just because you can't doesn't meam no one can. You can see the sharpness difference. The only resolutions you can see next to no difference is 720p and 768p.
The first video I’ve seen of yours, but with 1.84m subscribers I don’t think you missed me. It’s brilliant to see someone who is willing to show the challenges of soldering. Everyone makes it look so easy and it isn’t. I certainly wouldn’t be brave enough to start soldering my iPhone. Very well done indeed.
I love how you keep in the frustrating times of things not working or breaking too. Modding is full of that and lots of youtubers take out the frustrating parts so it looks like they did it first try and perfectly. These videos are very relatable and fun to watch.
Growing companies in China is really easy. There is this spirit of doing something big. On the other Hand you can only get big by accepting every Single condition of the CCP which is really bad
um how much was the phone with 128gb? i mean I loved this video being i have done this for eeproms on hard drives so it was good but with that equipment most people would just spend the extra money.. exception would be if its not able to be bought. I dont mess with apples because oranges taste much better
@@kennethnicklowicz1030 well, the extra money he spent went into practice & tools. also, he made at least 1500% of the money he spent back from this video.

I know just how he feels at the end.. There is nothing more satisfying than completing a difficult task like this! My moment that was similar to his at the end came when I managed to re-create a super-rare board for the old desktop macintosh SE/30.. This particular board allowed the internal monitor to display 256 grayscale... It was a 2 board upgrade for the old mac , made by Micron. The particular Micron video card which allows this is rare enough on its own, but the 'daughter board', which is the one I had to re-create, is rarer still! I went through a bunch of reverse-engineering off of ancient Micron schematics, and talked with a bunch of people who were familiar with this particular upgrade, to get all the info I needed to re-create the daughterboard from scratch.. I then bought all the parts necessary from mouser and digi-key, and went to work.. When I was done, and it was all assembled, I crossed my fingers and powered it on... BINGO!!! IT WORKED!! You don't know how good that feels until you take on one of these difficult projects, and have it come to fruition! Its an awesome feeling! BRAVO SIR! CONGRATS ON YOUR 128Gb iPhone!! Subscribed!
TheColonel True, but I was even more amazed that there were still technical papers available, in .pdf form, on the old chips I needed to reference for my project! I reached an impasse at one point due to the lack of information on the wiring for the board that I was creating. There was a simplistic diagram in the actual patent for the board, but it was not very specific. So I had to research the pinouts for the main signal switching chip, and was pleasantly surprised at how easily I found the information on the web for this 1980’s era chip!
So, a couple of years back, i watched this exact video, and it blew my mind away. Now, after 2 years, i decided to buy my own soldering station and i started dealing with smd components. My couple first encounters were not very successful, but i remembered this video and i looked back into it, and i got motivated again. With the power of will i will have success, as well as you dear Scott, did. Good further luck!
@@GamerBoy705_yt hello, yes i have been practicing since, and already helped some people with dealing with their broken tech. If you are interested you should definetly try it, the secret is using a good quality flux and soldering paste/rod. Good luck
lol he'd buy almost anything Scotty : i have to go back to Shenzhen markets to buy some missing parts, but i hurt my feet while walking. let's buy a car!
sniperwork Do you have experience of being conned by Chinese market? I would totally geek out to see so many parts for DIY stuff. I’ve watch several videos, it’s giving the impression of...if you got an idea for a project, you probably can find all the parts you need just going to the market.
Brendan Nolastname I’ve tried Amazon and eBay, sometime things come wasn’t up to my expectations. Would be awesome to see and touch it in person as you say.
Yeah the RAM would be impossible because the amount is limited by the software. Unless you modify it which is also basically impossible to do on newer iPhones.
Can older iPhones be modded? I'm currently using a 5S which I love because of the case. it's a cheap imitation survivor case but it's amazing. I'm going to bite the bullet and maybe get a 12 Mini but when I do I was thinking of learning hardware nodding and stripping the 5S down and installing things like a bigger storage and better camera. Do you reckon it's possible at all? Like obviously i know nothing but if I did know something do you reckon it would be possible?
@@sammylpt9076 The storage could be upgraded but it's a finicky process as you saw in the video. A camera upgrade would be limited by the software and the processor. There could be image quality improvement but there are many other factors that limit that, mostly the hardware. Plus I doubt better cameras are made for the 5s anyway. Modding the software could be done but like I said it's mostly the hardware that limits it which definitely cannot be upgraded. Also at your level of knowledge which as you mentioned is next to nothing it's very likely you would break your beloved 5s if you tried modding anything. You've been rocking that 5s for a long time, in my opinion I think it's time to move on and get a new phone. From the 5s you will see a world of improvement if you get an iPhone 12, like loading times, response time, download speeds, image quality, and much more. You don't even have to get the latest iPhone 12, you could get a 11 or 10 or even a modern Android. Trust me, you won't regret it. :)
Harbir Singh there’s a lot of things he could have done better lol. He also seemed dumbfounded when the iPhone went into DFU mode, how are you going to be working on the hardware when you don’t even know how to reset the firmware
He is more electrical engineering, not software engineering or programmer. Typical keyboard warrior act like smartass above me lol. You think your are smart as windows owner?
Hi, I'm here to bring you a great smart power bank idea for IOS phones and others. How about opening a smart power bank case and putting SSD 120GB? Or even enjoy battery charging but put a micro SD reader?
I did the same upgrade to my S9+. The phone came with all the tools needed. I only had to buy a TF card and put it in. Didn't even have to open the phone! $35
Android phones can't install most of apps on the SD card, which means that while you can store more photos and videos, you can't improve the storage for apps.
@@kodokudeusotsuki in the older outdated phones you really cant but android 7.0 and up it isn't a problem. I have the option to install straight to my sd card or internal storage when downloading apps
XD mate XD i love android fhones because you can upgrade your storage whit tf cards why does apple dont do that because its money for apple to not include tf card support maby i they dont know how tho put in tf modules into apple fhones XD its a joke but when will they do it ??? i think never because its money for apple i will always buy an android fhone why because i love android for the fact they put a tf card support in it XD
I was following along in my head and once you got to solder balls, I was like nope. Great to watch, my inner electronics geek is complete watching this channel and your builds. The thing I really like are the hurdles and the pain, so true and real, man did I feel your Defcon about the Automatic Tressure Machine
From the evidence gathered in the video, there were 2 primary issues that increased the difficulty his experience, one of which he recognized and fixed it. The first was that he used a setting for the hot air blower that was on the wrong setting, particularly vertical air. This was suggested by how much the motherboard was moving. When the helical air setting is used, the intensity of the air produced is much less so and is much more conducive to removal of large items on the PCB such as the nand flash.
So cool to rewatch this 🙂 When this video was uploaded, this stuff was dark voodoo magic. Now, 3 years later almost to the day, this stuff and much smaller rework, is my full time dayjob 🙂
@Strange Parts, For the screen issue: Next time you have a problem appear out of nowhere like this just clean all connectors with alcohol to kill static. Ideally you should be using antistatic tools like a wrist strap so that doesn't happen
@Hermano Daniel Foxconn United States headquarters in Wisconsin Racine and the good news is they are contaminating the water supply that's use by Milwaukee and other counties. The other good news is wisconsinites are paying full price for the new Corporation facility in Racine Wisconsin.
100%. Apple relies on those profit margins from all options being bought from them, all service being bought from them, planned obsolescence helps bring back new customers... They want to be a monopoly on all things involved with their products to maintain their outrageous profit margins. But with that said I still have an iPhone 6s 64gb I got three years ago for 299.99 contract price and its still good stuff. Just replaced the battery and I can't really tell the difference between it and the new stuff. But before the battery swap..... garbage lol.
thanks for sharing that you just needed something simple as your own lightning cable, a lot of people would have embarrassingly left that part out. but this is why i love your videos.
I'm stuck in one of these type projects now. Money is no option! Must...have...the tools! Will finish project as imagined! 25$ project is around 300, but I have a lot of fun stuff to play with now. Haha
Squid Samnic with boot camp, you just boot into windows, it doesn’t remove Mac OS from your machine, it only allows you to use windows in what is called a dual boot.
And turn your crApple Mac into a radiator because their cooling is wank. Also, apple can't handle anything that ain't apple because of shitty hardware and optimisation.
@@kolezka3914 yea and android phones like the galaxy s10 have options to get more storage with flash up to 1 tb and you can get a micro SD card for it as well. you could also get the base 128gb model and get a big micro SD card. We have options. And either way, a majority of the space that is probably going to be taken up by a phone are photos and videos which a micro SD card is fast enough to read and write
You got it right at the end of your video. I am one of those who would NOT try to save $75 by taking my phone to a Temple Street phone repair shop in Hong Kong and risk at least a 50/50 chance of ruining it. What makes it worse is that they don't ruin it but created some "flaws" in it, that when I find out later and try to get them to fix it right, they'd deny it is their fault. When one spends $1000+ on a new phone, one should not try to cut corners and save $75...
I was thinking about if it was possible to make my own phone, and this really gives me hope. (Also, the microscope footage reminds me of Louis Rossmann)
dekkoo84 I was going to recommend him watching some Rossmann videos to see how he reflows BGA chips and stuff, cause I don't think he really needed to go through reballing and all of that.
"The problems is it's Windows only software and I use Mac." What a third-world guy like me expects: download cracked Windows or Parallels to use on Mac What the Chad engineer who lives in Hong Kong do in reality: buy a brand-new PC.
Damn, a several years ago I'm doing this training myself on many samsung and I fail haha. Love watching this video because it include his fail moment until his success.
Boot camp can cause com port and usb port problems because of the drivers and some other things it’s easier to buy a new one and not waste the time with this shit.
He can add a headphone jack to an iPhone, add storage to an iPhone, but cannot dualboot windows on mac

My couple first encounters were not very successful, but i remembered this video and i looked back into it, and i got motivated again. With the power of will i will have success, as well as you dear Scott, did. Good further luck!
Did you have any successful attempts?
@@GamerBoy705_yt hello, yes i have been practicing since, and already helped some people with dealing with their broken tech. If you are interested you should definetly try it, the secret is using a good quality flux and soldering paste/rod. Good luck
@@MenTallisT_96 That's awesome to hear
I love how all your titles sound like clickbait but they are the only not clickbait videos on this entire site.
15:42 I tought you were going to say let's go to the market and get an X-Ray XD
Ya mee tooo😁😀
lol he'd buy almost anything
Scotty : i have to go back to Shenzhen markets to buy some missing parts, but i hurt my feet while walking. let's buy a car!
@@RuqiRevolt yah XD
China seems like a paradise for DIY people, are the things expensive?
It depends. Majority like to con westerner and some are fair to all.
sniperwork
Do you have experience of being conned by Chinese market? I would totally geek out to see so many parts for DIY stuff.
I’ve watch several videos, it’s giving the impression of...if you got an idea for a project, you probably can find all the parts you need just going to the market.
Brendan Nolastname
I’ve tried Amazon and eBay, sometime things come wasn’t up to my expectations. Would be awesome to see and touch it in person as you say.
you wont be conned if you know chinese so learn chinese
Or...people should just be honest in their business.
He is one of the most amazing people ive ever seen.
Man! I love your enthusiasm. I was literally dancing and happy that the 128 worked!
I feel like you can literally buy everything in China
You know everything is made in China, even black death spread from China.
Tomas Gaming thats a lie but alass
Dick Fageroni oh geez get a life
Sad, but TRUE.
*but can you buy China in China ?*
i learned from every single video that fail isn't the final destination if you keep trying
I was so happy when i saw "800% memory upgrade" when in reality it was storage, not the ram I expected....
Yeah the RAM would be impossible because the amount is limited by the software. Unless you modify it which is also basically impossible to do on newer iPhones.
Can older iPhones be modded? I'm currently using a 5S which I love because of the case. it's a cheap imitation survivor case but it's amazing. I'm going to bite the bullet and maybe get a 12 Mini but when I do I was thinking of learning hardware nodding and stripping the 5S down and installing things like a bigger storage and better camera. Do you reckon it's possible at all? Like obviously i know nothing but if I did know something do you reckon it would be possible?
@@sammylpt9076 The storage could be upgraded but it's a finicky process as you saw in the video. A camera upgrade would be limited by the software and the processor. There could be image quality improvement but there are many other factors that limit that, mostly the hardware. Plus I doubt better cameras are made for the 5s anyway.
Modding the software could be done but like I said it's mostly the hardware that limits it which definitely cannot be upgraded. Also at your level of knowledge which as you mentioned is next to nothing it's very likely you would break your beloved 5s if you tried modding anything.
You've been rocking that 5s for a long time, in my opinion I think it's time to move on and get a new phone. From the 5s you will see a world of improvement if you get an iPhone 12, like loading times, response time, download speeds, image quality, and much more. You don't even have to get the latest iPhone 12, you could get a 11 or 10 or even a modern Android. Trust me, you won't regret it. :)
That much ram would be possible on a pc but who would even need that much phone ram anyway?
@@rearmisser or you buy an iphone 12 mini and transfer it's logic board, camera, battery, and everything In the 5s. Doesn't make sense but..
The Chinese tech guys have tools for EVERYTHING
Ikr
Aliexpress for all you Chinese needs
Now we need the battery upgrade 🔋
that is the simple one
Isnt that the easiest part?
You can't fix apple
Make the iPhone twice as think and double the battery capacity
Here Samsung have some spare batteries lying around.
You could have just installed Windows on your Mac.
Harbir Singh there’s a lot of things he could have done better lol.
He also seemed dumbfounded when the iPhone went into DFU mode, how are you going to be working on the hardware when you don’t even know how to reset the firmware
Hes a typical mac owner
he could just use virtual machine software on mac to get windows running.
He is more electrical engineering, not software engineering or programmer. Typical keyboard warrior act like smartass above me lol. You think your are smart as windows owner?
No but macs are overated.
Hi, I'm here to bring you a great smart power bank idea for IOS phones and others. How about opening a smart power bank case and putting SSD 120GB? Or even enjoy battery charging but put a micro SD reader?
I love the Windows 3.1 sounds this piece of software makes.
that satisfying sound when he inserts the chip into that talking goldish thing
i’m-💀
i know right!
Why not installing windows on the mac? You can still hve both OSs
Because he works with his mac and only wants to use windows one time?
oh yea buying a new notebook to use windows one time sounds a good idea
You don't know how cheap the notebooks in china are
I'm preety sure it isn't as cheap as installing a VM with windows for free... And would be quicker too...
just bootcamp windows and use it for one time ! why buying a new computer for one time use ?
This was a serious journey and I 👏 am 👏 here 👏 for 👏 it great work, dude, loved this video from start to finish.
I did the same upgrade to my S9+.
The phone came with all the tools needed.
I only had to buy a TF card and put it in.
Didn't even have to open the phone!
$35
Theres a huge difference in the transfer speed between an SD card and phone, and the actual internal storage. I get what you're saying tho.
NAND > eMMC (probably what SD cards use, it is what cheap chinese laptops use so it should be way cheaper than NAND flash)
Android phones can't install most of apps on the SD card, which means that while you can store more photos and videos, you can't improve the storage for apps.
@@kodokudeusotsuki in the older outdated phones you really cant but android 7.0 and up it isn't a problem. I have the option to install straight to my sd card or internal storage when downloading apps
XD mate XD i love android fhones because you can upgrade your storage whit tf cards why does apple dont do that because its money for apple to not include tf card support maby i they dont know how tho put in tf modules into apple fhones XD
its a joke but when will they do it ???
i think never because its money for apple
i will always buy an android fhone why because i love android for the fact they put a tf card support in it XD
Amazing! Seems like I was involved in the whole process. All the ups and downs. Tensions.
You are great.
You my friend should be the Commander of the Genius Bar.
Jag M yes ma brudah
Leader of repair team*
but only idiots can work on the genius bar
Jag M not
I was following along in my head and once you got to solder balls, I was like nope. Great to watch, my inner electronics geek is complete watching this channel and your builds.
The thing I really like are the hurdles and the pain, so true and real, man did I feel your Defcon about the Automatic Tressure Machine
From the evidence gathered in the video, there were 2 primary issues that increased the difficulty his experience, one of which he recognized and fixed it. The first was that he used a setting for the hot air blower that was on the wrong setting, particularly vertical air. This was suggested by how much the motherboard was moving. When the helical air setting is used, the intensity of the air produced is much less so and is much more conducive to removal of large items on the PCB such as the nand flash.
NEXT PROJECT!! Upgrade the soldered RAM and SSD of a 12" Retina Macbook!
this would be great! 12 macbook is the best macbook so far imo
Why not Bootcamp instead of another device? Could have saved you a lot of money.
Was gonna suggest this as well
Yeah. Or even a VM might have worked.
I can only guess he didn't wanna give his mac cancer.
Hase Pretty sure you don't have to put only Windows 10 on it.
Xiaomi product placement.
Loved the price differentiation talk in front of the s9/s9+ billboard.
If it was intentional, it was an extremely sublte dig. I noticed it too and thought the same!
I thought the exact same 😂
So cool to rewatch this 🙂 When this video was uploaded, this stuff was dark voodoo magic. Now, 3 years later almost to the day, this stuff and much smaller rework, is my full time dayjob 🙂
Apple will hate you for this and the headphone jack
Ahmed Shams I'd give him a job if I was apple. It's 😎
Probably is the opportunity for a new apple designer
هلا
They hated him already lol
Apple doesn’t care about people modding their own iPhones. Apple is in the business of selling you new hardware.
Your channel is so underrated, huge respect to you
This channel deserves a lot more subscribers unlike some others which just keep talking without doing anything practical. AMAZING VIDEOS!
IKR!! 10 minute videos with barely any content on them. This guy has 30 min videos with a lot of content! He deserves more subscribers!
TAVARISH. so much talking . about nothing
I love how he says i give up *FOR NOW*
@Strange Parts, For the screen issue: Next time you have a problem appear out of nowhere like this just clean all connectors with alcohol to kill static. Ideally you should be using antistatic tools like a wrist strap so that doesn't happen
Just imagine how much money he spends on each of these videos, props to you
That genuine reaction at 26:40 just melts my heart
+1
Indeed, the feeling of accomplishment.
I have never been this happy for someone. I was almost praying that you pull this off and felt like I was doing this with you.
First human on Earth who was helped by "check wire" suggestion.
I just put an SD card in my s7 edge. I feel sorry for iPhone users having to go to this much trouble ha
Who gives a shit? Your Edge is a fire risk.
I feel sorry about all the android users that can't record a video longer than 10 minutes in 4k on their SD cards. Everybody can be a dick, you see.
@Hermano Daniel Foxconn United States headquarters in Wisconsin Racine and the good news is they are contaminating the water supply that's use by Milwaukee and other counties. The other good news is wisconsinites are paying full price for the new Corporation facility in Racine Wisconsin.
100%. Apple relies on those profit margins from all options being bought from them, all service being bought from them, planned obsolescence helps bring back new customers... They want to be a monopoly on all things involved with their products to maintain their outrageous profit margins. But with that said I still have an iPhone 6s 64gb I got three years ago for 299.99 contract price and its still good stuff. Just replaced the battery and I can't really tell the difference between it and the new stuff. But before the battery swap..... garbage lol.
Ok. And now tell us about sd-card data transfer speed in your android phone
I'd love to see a strange parts series for the iphone X
girlsdrinkfeck Samsung charge alot for the iPhone X displays because they currently own most of the OLED display market.
I thought LG was the manufacturer of the displays
I think they are going to switch to LG, but currently it's Samsung
thanks for sharing that you just needed something simple as your own lightning cable, a lot of people would have embarrassingly left that part out. but this is why i love your videos.
This guy never disappoint.
559k subscribers. lucky number, amtech says.
Louis Rossmann you should do a collaboration with him
What do you think of his soldering skills lou ;)
Hahah, well played:) Thanks for all you've been contributing to the repair world. I'm definitely a fan.
Hey, louis is here too. They might be right though... a collaboration seems necessary. You guys both could do a how to video
Louis Rossmann wohoo! If you guys collab that would be so much better than that Linus episode
Haters will say scotty already had a 128 gigabytes version
Harsh Sharma does he have haters?
The. Guys at Apple 😏
Haters will say this is a stupid fucking video and a waste of money
iDeep have you done it? Not trying to be hostile btw
Harsh Sharma im sorry but you have a mac, did you not think of just installing windows on it?
I love watching the people's reaction around you as you walk down the street talking to your camera in a different language to them.
I'm stuck in one of these type projects now. Money is no option! Must...have...the tools! Will finish project as imagined! 25$ project is around 300, but I have a lot of fun stuff to play with now. Haha
Just run bootcamp, parallel, or a virtual machine to run windows on your Mac.
I always find it funny when people look back at you when you do your vlogs outside.
hes a tall white guy walking around cina with a camera, what do u expect? LUL
I've never been so invested in something I would never come near attempting. Kudos sir.
Apple disliked the video.
yes,I think so
Apple and all apple workers disliked this video
How do u know
ali burak because there part of apple
we fuck apple
I’m the 512gb guy 🍝
Federico Cerva UR THE BOSS
hi 512gb guy
Your video was great!
Ya I have 4 gb on my pc I don’t see what this guy used 128 for on a phone
Legend
The best thing to watch in this video is that he just keep going
I love to watch short videos but when i watch your videos never skipped a sec. Enjoy watching your Videos :D
You could've just installed Windows on your Mac with boot camp haha
I think he likes osX and doesn't want to remove it from his mac
Squid Samnic with boot camp, you just boot into windows, it doesn’t remove Mac OS from your machine, it only allows you to use windows in what is called a dual boot.
And turn your crApple Mac into a radiator because their cooling is wank. Also, apple can't handle anything that ain't apple because of shitty hardware and optimisation.
Or he could install a Windows virtual machine with VirtualBox :)
PNathan When you've got money it doesn't matter lol
Upgrading memory
Apple users : pulls out microscope
Android users: pulls out new micro sd card
you have to know that SD card is slower than welded chip in Iphone
@@kolezka3914 yep but its fast enough for a lot of things like videos, photos, music, some apps
@@MrWizardjr9 say that to 3 yo memory card( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@kolezka3914 yea and android phones like the galaxy s10 have options to get more storage with flash up to 1 tb and you can get a micro SD card for it as well. you could also get the base 128gb model and get a big micro SD card. We have options. And either way, a majority of the space that is probably going to be taken up by a phone are photos and videos which a micro SD card is fast enough to read and write
Koleżka not gonna spend hours welding a chip to fit iPhone when I can just buy a sd and fit it in. In a couple of minutes
I like how you make every video an adventure. And It's more than 10 min
You got it right at the end of your video. I am one of those who would NOT try to save $75 by taking my phone to a Temple Street phone repair shop in Hong Kong and risk at least a 50/50 chance of ruining it. What makes it worse is that they don't ruin it but created some "flaws" in it, that when I find out later and try to get them to fix it right, they'd deny it is their fault. When one spends $1000+ on a new phone, one should not try to cut corners and save $75...
Its wholesome how happy he gets when he accomplishes it I love content like this
I was thinking about if it was possible to make my own phone, and this really gives me hope.
(Also, the microscope footage reminds me of Louis Rossmann)
He did a video on this and made his own iPhone by buying the parts of the iPhone. You should check it out!
Good luck on the phone man!
dekkoo84 I was going to recommend him watching some Rossmann videos to see how he reflows BGA chips and stuff, cause I don't think he really needed to go through reballing and all of that.
Kyle Moore iirc Linus done a video with him regarding bga repair on a gpu, should check it out
Louis is the man!
You bought a whole new laptop? For windows? All you had to do is install windows along with MacOS on your MacBook with bootcamp , it's very simple
Maybe he also just wanted a second laptop. Nothing wrong with that.
virtual machine :/
It Is called Bootcamp, It is Super useful.
Sevendogtags maybe,but the reason he mentioned here is specific , he said this machine only supports windows so i have to buy a windows pc.
Servus He didn’t buy a Microsoft computer though dummy. Microsoft Windows and macOS can both run on a MacBook.
"The problems is it's Windows only software and I use Mac."
What a third-world guy like me expects: download cracked Windows or Parallels to use on Mac
What the Chad engineer who lives in Hong Kong do in reality: buy a brand-new PC.
Couldnt he just have used a vm
I'm from Venezuela. Yup, I was think in that way
Yeah, I would have tried a VM first; then if needed, installed a version of windows on the physical ssd.
What about driver?
Could've done a bootcamp partition, right?
Strange Parts: "I have to buy a new computer"
Bootcamp Assistant: "Am I a joke to you"
He doesn't know software. He knows hardware.
IEJ7to1 *IEJ7654321* - No Mac owner that’s even the least bit technical doesn’t know about Boot Camp...
Damn, a several years ago I'm doing this training myself on many samsung and I fail haha. Love watching this video because it include his fail moment until his success.
Buying a copy of Windows and using Boot Camp? i sleep.
Buying a whole new computer to use one (1) bit of software? REAL SH!T
Galaxy brain: using Wine to run windows programmes on non-windows OSs
Or just virtual box
Still cheaper than buy a iPhone with more storage space ahhahahah
real shit.. macintosh has very little in the way of software compared to pc... gee I wonder why...
fuck mac.. limited shit
Boot camp can cause com port and usb port problems because of the drivers and some other things it’s easier to buy a new one and not waste the time with this shit.
I just love that "I did it reaction" and its tech edition style....🤜🤛🤜🤛🤜🤛
