Bootloop after screen replacement, not able to restore.

I've got an iPhone 5s that I replaced the screen for, since the screen replacement it has been stuck bootlooping. I am able to get into recovery mode but it won't update nor restore, keeps running into error 9.

Have tried updating itunes, using different battery, different charge port, different screens, different cables doing it without the camera/speakers flex plugged in. Is doing it now with the original screen as well.

I'm at a loss... Please help.

You may want to check the logic board for long screw damage. If you incorrectly put the wrong screen bracket screws in the wrong holes, you can damage the copper traces below and cause boot issues. This s a serious failure and requires a micro-soldering repair. For an iPhone 5S, it may not be financially worthwhile.

Go to step 17 of this guide and double check the screw lengths. If you put a long one in the wrong hole, then look into standoff hole to see if the logic board is damaged, as the pictures linked above show.
