Restore iPhone XS failed-declined to authorize this image on this device for this user?? How to fix?
I recently tried fixing an iPhone XS that was in a boot loop after installing a new battery in it and had previously been able to successfully restore this phone, but about five minutes after restore during initial setup again, it started doing the same thing again that was happening before restoring (which was a boot loop sequence). So, I installed a new battery into the phone that was charged over 70% and genuine Apple battery. Then turned on the phone which was currently displaying DFU mode screen and so I hooked it up to my MBP with MacOS Ventura 13.4.1 and ran it through the process. After the latest ios update had been downloaded to my computer, a few seconds into the preparing iPhone for software update/installing iOS software steps, an error message comes up on the screen saying Restore Failed-declined to authorize this image on this device for this user?? This is the first time in many years of doing this process on hundreds of iPads and iPhones that I've ever seen this error msg. What does this mean and how do you fix it?
By the way: we discovered that by unplugging the earpiece speaker, the phone then goes from boot looping to the initial setup screen and you can move on setting up the phone, but when you plug the earpiece speaker back in, the boot looping resumes--so it seems as if the earpiece speaker assembly is to blame for this particular instance but I can't seem to figure out why this error msg appeared or what it was supposed to mean...?
