When you say restarting it, are you restarting it, or factory reseting it? And, what CSC file did you flash with?

Can the update still effect your phone if followed your steps?

I flashed the 930a file for at&t from here on site not at home to see file on computer . I haven't done a factory reset I figured with new firmware I shouldn't need to. What does this have to do with iris scanner cause it's not working anymore either.. starting to think maybe it's hardware

Sometimes a so called "dirty" flash with other firmware can affect some functions. If you've some data (photos etc.) on it you want to keep, make a backup first and then give the factory reset a try. In most cases this will help to get rid of missing features. Don't forget to repeat the steps for installing and activating the shield after this.
