Iphone 5s firmware on iphone 6s mobile

[tasirm]

I had a working iphone 6s 16 and i went to update it on Apple Service centre and they updated it. But i dont know what they did to it. It is an iphone 6s from outside but the firmware is of iphone 5s and also No functions of 6s are working not even 3d touch. Now they are asking for the Bill of the phone so they could replace it (maybe) ??
Is it possible??
What should i do??

No, its not possible to install another devices firmware to a different model device.
You're confused.

 

[Stevessvt]

Try to dfu recover it.

 

[tasirm]

Well

No, its not possible to install another devices firmware to a different model device.
You're confused.

Didnt do anything

Your phone is just proof that something isn't working, not that you have 5s firmware installed on a 6s.

Why do you even suspect that anyway?

Nope. Cannot happen even if you wanted to do it on purpose its no possible.
If you tried a DFU restore like you said above and still having problems bring it to Apple.

Settings > General > About

What is your phone named?

That's just the name of your phone. I can name my phone Moto Razor
Sounds like you restored using an older devices backup file. Using a 5S iphone backup on your iphone 6S. That's where your confusion is.
You can use another devices backup file, you cannot use another devices firmware .ipsw file.
So restore with itunes and setup the phone as new like we told you above and you didnt do.
When its done restoring and it asks you if you want to restore from backup do not select the 5S backup again.

I will third this and say you phone will be named with the same device name that was backed up.

Just change the name back

I have enough knowledge about phones, So i know if my phone was just named iphone 5s..
There are other things as well
3D touch doesnt work or show in settings. When i see details about my phone in "Antutu" app it shows the details of iphone 5s.
I also took the phone to apple service centre to update.. they updated it to latest version (before update it was working fine as an iphone 6s should) but after updating its IMEI no. Changed and shows iphone 5s .
And also when i look up the new imei, it says "the imei no. Has been replaced by Apple.
I unfortunately lost my bill of the phone otherwise Apple Service Centre Would have replaced the phone .. what should i do now?

You should take a screen shot but blur out your IMEI. Go under settings > general > about, then screenshot the model number.

I'm just curious what it'll show there.

Sounds like there might be something wrong with the device and/or the installation, but it isn't something where something for a 5s was loaded on a phone that isn't a 5s.

There it is screenshot with model no. @Septembersrain

Im also confused because its impossible to install firmware of 5s into 6s. But when i look at my phone i dont trust these chinese engineers. They can do anything.. maybe!!

Sorry, but what Chinese engineers?

Maybe it's an iPhone 6.

That's showing a gold Sprint iPhone 5s. Weird you mentioned your IMEI number as being different. The Sprint models have an ESN, no IMEI right? I know they're moving to MEID from that but I don't know if they already had on the 5s.

This seems really weird.

I was just being sarcastic as iphones are assembled in china.

But im not a sprint user infact im not from america. Im from Kashmir n here we dont use iphones on contract. So i really dont have any knowledge about anything u said

If it was iphone 6!! Then it would show iphone 6 in itunes or benchmarking apps. And the back of the phone clearly has iphone written on it. And prior to update it was working fine as an iphone 6s should.

I also took the phone to apple service centre to update.. they updated it to latest version (before update it was working fine as an iphone 6s should) but after updating its IMEI no. Changed and shows iphone 5s .

Sounds like the service center swapped out your phone.

I also find it strange that the screenshot you posted is the resolution of an iPhone 5/5s/SE. If you had taken a screenshot of an iPhone 6/6s/7, the resolution would be different.

Wouldn't you notice the body difference? This whole thing seems really fishy somehow. Or is it just me?

Looks that way to me too

The whole situation doesn't make any sense.
Not sure what he's looking for.

That screen shot is of 4 inch(5/5S/SE) iPhone (not iPhone 6 or 6s)

 

[Mr_Brightside_@]

Post a picture of the phone.

I have enough knowledge about phones, So i know if my phone was just named iphone 5s..

If you know so much about phones, why did you bring it to an Apple service center to install an update?

I also took the phone to apple service centre to update..

Can you take a picture of the outside of the phone and post it here as well?
