"No Sim" ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Hi guys,
using this device for a couple of month now without problems
today when I was driving I guess I pressed something wrong 'cause the phone network settings popped and I accidentally chose the wrong provider and now the phone says there is NO SIM!!!! ahhh
Tried shutting it down, restarting it, taking battery & sim out, resetting the phone for yesterdays settings, resetting it to manufacture settings and nothing helped still a message saying NO SIM
so.......... I got to options either the sim went dead in the middle of the day 'cause I told it to use a different provider then mine or the device is a goner.............
tried installing an old sim (not 3.5G) and it still said NO SIM
what say u ?
oh and pls help me
thanks

have you warranty for your phone? looks like you have hardware failed.

well I think the device is in warranty (two and a half month old) the problem is that it was a prize in a competition in the grand nation of america and we are far away from there.....
could it be malfunctioning in the software ?
I am upgrading the rom now maybe it will reslove itself

well updating the Rom to the latest with WM 6.1 didnt solve my problem
is there anyone here who has a similar problem with this or any of HTC devices (Lost the ability to recognise SIM cards) ??????

I've seen a few posts on this forum, complaining on a SIM troubles. If i remember correctly, the reason has been a bad SIM holder socket or something similar. Try looking for those forum threads for more info.
Anyway, the first thing i would probably try is carefully cleaning the SIM socket contacts as well as the actual SIM card contacts with alcohol or something, just to make sure it isn't just a bad contact.

I have been there. My device has been repaired twice and works fine now. The last repair concerned the socket indeed. Maybe that's your problem as well, so check:
- does your SIM work in another mobile?
- does another SIM work in your TC?
- did you clean, reseat your SIM card, try a few times!?
Good luck!

I've polaris too and i've already replaced the sim socket, which malfunctioned..2 weeks after replacement weird things started to happen. I would loose coverage while having a conversation in a place, where all bars are full. Then, after restarting the phone it would show that no sim is inserted AND here's the funny part, after the next restart, the device would return to normal. I could make calls for another day and then it goes again..Right now a week has gone by while i'm restarting my phone every day. The problem is, that right now i need to restart my phone 3-5 times for it to start working normally again (without saying that no sim is inserted).
I can't work out why would this be happening, because if it would be a bad socket, i couldn't use it again after restart, but i CAN.
Can anyone give me advice? Maybe there's a virus from which you can't recover just by flashing the rom

I had the same issue! Therefore I had the phone 3 times in repair under warranty and the issue wasn't rapaired until the third time! All together the phone was in repair over more than 2 months!
I'm pissed off on this lousy service at HTC!
I'm hoping for you not to have such a misfortune then I...

I had the same problem after dismantling.
For me it was that the SIM cable that is going to the motherboard was way to inward. I just withdraw it a bit and that did the trick.

try to install new radio..
if still doesn't works, maybe ur htc hardware problem

I agree with wakhairul2,
if it's not the Radio Rom (GSM depends from it) so it's the hardware!
if it's the second, this is common, Simcard Holder Flex for the Touch Cruise fails easily! but it's also very easy to find a cheap spare..
Anyway, if you have warranty and is less costly then go there..
Else, for a new Simholder hardware check the ebay, Click here to view
You can find for lower than 15 Euros.
Good luck

Can't detected sim card

My friend drop his onpluse 16g version. Nothing damaged because he got case on it but when he pick up phone it appear no signal?! I reboot phone samthing no signal.
He also take out sim card and reput it back but no help
Anyone know how to fix this?

Sounds like something is damaged...
Well, what do you expect? A software fix for what is obviously a hardware fault caused by doing an expensive piece of technology?

No, warranty doesn't cover damage caused by the owner of the phone, like a drop.

[Q] [WORST CASE SCENARIO] I need HELP PLZ just PLZ CLICK THIS :(((

Hello guys
I need serious help here
This is my scenario: Day1:
I heard about this flashing custom roms so i thought it would be cool trying it with my phone. So i successfully did flash some roms and had recover many times after bootloop bcuz of nandroid.
But this time its different i try to install xposed installer and was currently using a custom rom. So i got bootlooped again but i wasn't worried cuz i have the powerful nandroid backup . So i restored my stock rom blah3x and it says successful then i reboot my phone . But the logo didnt show up so i tried to go to recovery again AND suddenly it just go back to this useless stock recovery HUHUHU :crying: idont even know why they make this useless ---- errr..
Day 2:
And this day i found this Sp flash tool blah3x . And as what i learned i need a full backup rom and obviously i don't have it and theres no link for it bcuz its very unknown and unsupported device. But luckily i got the scatter file bcuz, before i was using MDK Droid tools to do things that i dont even know how to . So i tried to flash just the recovery . The one i flashed is the TWRP that i've been using for flashing rom and it was stuck in red bar so i unplugged the cable and reboot to recovery but its still the same. And then i was pissed off , so i click the format all + download and i think i saw a text that shows it was success ful( I DID THAT BCUZ I DIDN'T EXPECT IT WILL HAPPEN). After that i cant reboot to recovery and the phone all i have now is this white light when i plug the phone to pc with/without battery. Its hard-bricked right? am i right?
But i think i have some advantage,
-Im still under warranty
-And i formatted everything in my phone as you can see in Day 2 scenario, so that means that they cant know that im rooted right? am i right?
My QUESTION IS WILL THE COMPANY'S WARRANTY SERVICE REPAIR MY PHONE? WITHOUT KNOWING ANYTHING I HAVE DONE??
Note I'M SCARED IF THEY'LL SUE ME FOR LYING ABOUT IT
SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH AND NOT UNDERSTANDABLE AND A VERY LONG ONE STORY
NOTE: IM USING ALCATEL POP C7

Please someone reply it instantly bcuz i have 3 weeks remaining for my warranty to be gone

Maybe it depends. They might be able to know you did tamper with the phone.

:laugh: Seriously? Worst case scenario they'll void your warranty and ask you to pay for the repair or they will send you back the phone as is.

I don't know anything about this company's policies but in general, if your phone is bricked because you did something wrong and they can prove it, they will probably not repair it under warranty but most likely ask you to pay for the repair or they will send you back the device as is if you don't pay.
Its the same for most OEMs. If something broke under warranty, they will repair at no cost. If it break because you did something that void your warranty, they'll ask you to pay for the repair, if they can prove it (e.g. If the phone can't power on, then they can't prove anything, if the phone does power on and they can see you have flashed stuff, then they'll most likely charge you for the repair.)

If it's dead and you want to make sure it really doesn't boot up you could always format it with a very strong magnet. No physical traces and every chip in your phone will be blank.. But it's also irreversible. But it could also fall under rule number 3..

Hi guys! Do you know where I can buy motherboard to replace the one I have in my z5 dual? It got water damaged and I sent it to the repair shop and their asking me to pay almost the same amount I paid it brand new. (Is replacing the motherboard that expensive? I'll not continue if it is...) So I'm going to try fix it myself or let someone who knows better do it while I'll buy the parts. I hope someone can help me. Thanks!

I then sent it to a different service, they found that the Baseband IC and Antenna needs replacements, I paid the additional payment but they couldn't repair as the motherboard is broke apparently .

hi,
is there any problem with replacing the motherboard, such as the fingerprint sensor is somehow tied to the original motherboard? i'm thinking about buying a z5 with broken display on ebay and using that motherboard. thanks for any help!

Hey mate, i have the same problem, my xperia Z4 got water damaged only sony logo appears and it vibrates three times and restarts, did this same thing happened with you? Did you get the motherboard replaced?

Who ever is thinking that their motherboard is not functioning, you have to try at mobile repair shops.
Sony service center people tell you to change everything but they are wrong.
My Z5 is water damaged and Sony India wanted me to pay 25000 Indian Rupees (convert it).
I've taken my phone to mobile repair shop(Delhi) and paid 5000 rupees for repairs including screen replacement.
Ofcourse screen is not genuine but mobile is working 100%. Fingerprint etc....
If your phone is even vibrating without anything on display, it is not motherboard fault. Get your screen replaced. It will do.

Hello Guys. I too have a Sony Xperia Z5 E6653 Single sim version. I accidentally dropped my phone into water and then the screen started behaving strange. After switching off the phone to avoid damage and turned it ON after couple of days now I found my screen dead. When I touch the fingerprint sensor the phone vibrates, when I press the camera button the LED turns ON and I can hear the click sound. I couldn't put the phone in rice as I was traveling. Giving the phone to service center the technician said that the display IC is gone and he cant do anything. I took the phone to local repair shop and guy told me that display is gone and he can try replacing the display, but still not working. Is there any store in India - Mumbai where the chip level repairs are done, any hopes in resurrecting the phone?

Water demaged
