Sim Card Error...Dropped Phone

Hi guys,
Been on CDs for a while as a guest running ARHD Rom on my sensation.
Got a bit of a problem, when I got in from work today, my sensation fell from my sofa on the laminate flooring. The phone seemed to work until rebooted it. The sensation is displaying "insert sim card to phone".
I have rebooted it a few times, factory reset, sim card in and out and even a small bit of paper on top the sim to ensure contact and its still not working.
I am starting to think its hardware related which means sending it bk to HTC.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
P.s. I gave taken the ad whilst trying the above. I have not reflashed the Rom yet as I would not think its software related.
Many thanks
Wad

Micro Sim in Xperia L C2104

I have an Xperia L as my secondary and Note 2 as primary. The Note had to go to the service centre so I tried using its micro sim in the L. It won't register and keeps saying No sim. I tried moving it around to no avail. Can anyone throw some light as to how I can use my micro sim in the L immediately? Cannot buy an adapter for now.

I suggest you to go for adapter.. Moving sim card around would damage the sim circuit..

Adapter is the way to go....they come really cheap.
Otherwise you may damage the connectors
Maybe you are not putting it in right place in right way.

I seriously suggest you get an adapter, you might break the phone due to this
mirco sim is not designed to go in normal sim

Carrier Unlocking

I dropped and cracked the screen on my Photon Q. :crying: It works but it keeps acting like the screen is touched where the crack is.
I ordered a replacement on ebay and received it. I rooted it with Kingroot. It is running Android 4.1.2.
I called Red Pocket Mobile to have them activate the device on my account, but they said they could not until Sprint unlocks it. :crying:Sprint customer service tells me they cannot unlock, unless I have the following: :crying:
account number attached to the device confused: )
account holder's name (

account holder's password, or the last 4 digits of their SSN (
)
IMEI or MEID (found both under settings )
phone number attached to device
There is a phone number in the device settings. When I enter that into Sprint's customer service phone robot, she does not recognize the number. So, I am assuming the person has moved their number to some other company. (
)
Suggestions / solutions?
Could I somehow move the software and settings from the cracked one to the new one? Some kind of bit-by-bit clone or something?
Other Solutions?

I guess you could put the old motherboard inside the "new" phone. It's simple - all you have to use is a torx 5 (or maybe it was torx 4) screwdriver.

Thank you for the suggestion

I have very bad luck. Murphy must just hate me LOL. But, I will take it to a shop and have that done. Should be inexpensive if it is so easy...

Is it possible to convert Single Sim to Dual Sim?

Hi
I'm about to purchase a Z5 (I know that is has 2 years now, but on a sale I think it's still a good buy). I'm wondering if it is possible to convert E6653 to E6683. I have a Huawei P8 lite and I have done it using https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/guide-debranding-converting-single-sim-t3305977 . Is there any thing similar for the Z5?
Thanks

Is this really possible ?

I think NOT possible. Hardware should support this. After looking sim tray for both models, not possible to do that.

I agree that the hardware must support. In the P8 lite the trays are separated but the second SIM tray holds either the sdcard or the second SIM. You can see it in this picture that the SIM is put on the side
. So the Z5 single SIM tray might hold 2 SIM as well. The question is if the Z5 hardware will read the second SIM in that position (and then the software would have to be dual SIM, of course).
Thanks

Unlocking LTE Bands 4 and 17 on M2 aqua D2403?

Yes, the title sums up what I'm curious about.
Turns out I got an Xperia M2 Aqua with a broken display as a hand-me-down from a friend. I fixed it and it's working great! (check the pics if you'd like).
Spoiler: Pictures of the process

It's alive!
It works and looks great!
... except for the lack of proper LTE bands for my carrier, specifically bands 4 and 17. So yeah, it's currently stuck on 3G/HSPA, which is fine for chatting and checking email, but can be a bother for more intensive tasks.
I know there's another model of the M2 aqua which properly supports such bands: the D2406. Would cross-flashing the modem/baseband from that model do anything?
I actually thought about doing a motherboard swap but I would have to dumpster-dive the local phone repair market to get a motherboard from that specific model (or buy one online), and I can no longer justify the cost, time and effort haha.
I remember reading some LTE band unlocking tutorials for qcomm phones which used the USB diagnostics mode and QXDM or QPST for altering raw values. It seems very risky, that's why I'd rather ask if someone here has had a positive experience in this area, and if so, I'd ask for guidance or advice on the matter.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
