Fix my iphone 5c10/3/2023 None of these interventions changed my situation. Downloaded most recent iOS but it failed to install (iOS 8.2) remove SIM card, blow out (both powered on and off) That option was not available to me, so without success, I attempted the following. I spoke to Apple support on the phone and they said connection issues were a Verizon problem, not an Apple problem and to go to Verizon. It still had wifi and worked like an iPod would. ![]() I believe my problem is the same as yours, and that the airplane mode was unrelated. (Note: I never jail-broke my phone, opened it, I was not using it when this occurred) I turned airplane mode off after completing my trip, but my phone never again obtained a signal. I put my phone on airplane mode for this reason. I planned to be out mountain biking and wanted to conserve my battery for an emergency. I was on vacation in the mountains where I expected to have low signal. I will read that again as I have my old iPhone 4 (locked/no service) - but it powers up. *I am not techy at all, but apparently- it may have been possible to roll back to IOS-10 safely, had I archived that back-up pre-11 update?Īnyway.here I am hoping for a miracle! There must be a way to write my phone number to this freaking SIM CARD.I am intrigued by the guy who installed it in his old phone first.& eventually got to select his carrier in the problem phone. I cannot risk losing my “GarageBand compositions”.(so much work!) Makes me nervous.and iTunes is not easy for me to understand.I have tried most of the “fixes” listed everywhere-multiple times, except for “hard reset & full recovery” (wipe). The word seems to be that the IOS UPDATE -11 is the culprit My supposed faulty SIM card found a tower instantly, once installed into else’s phone (great phone kiosk fellow)-so, it’s NOT my SIM after all! I am on DAY-3 of “Searching” - NO NETWORK. I have a 2yr-old pristine iPhone 5s.very gently used. My problem was when i had to replace my charging port this afternoon as it was worn out and not charging anymore. you can get a tool set alone off there too. and new batteries are only 15-25 dollars depending on location. To buy these tools are nothing if you buy a replacement iphone battery or whatever from ebay. ![]() and i did absolutely everything right down to a full factory reset, but short of the "mechanics fix" that others have attempted. Its just taken me 3 hours to figure this out. While its open just quickly check to make sure no other plugs are loose or unplugged and if ti works re assemble. Replace ribbon, boot phone while still open to check if it has resolved the issue. Locate and remove the battery ribbon for 30 seconds Unscrew the 2 little tin plates that cover the charging port ribbon and battery ribbon (youtube charging port replacement if unsure. if you did ANY repairs or have had any repairs done to the phone before your sim issue do this (if you have the tools)īACKUP TO ITUNES (with the password to save everything) Long story short: take out your SIM card, put it in another iPhone, unlock the SIM card and then put it back to your iPhone. I hope this helps someone out there with the "Searching" problem. I went to Settings and I noticed that the Carrier option was now there, so I selected the Carrier option and then the phone let me choose the carrier for my SIM card. I waited a few seconds and the phone was displaying "No service" (which was different from the previous "Searching" message). The phone said "SIM locked" but didn't ask me for its password. At this point I had probably "re-unlocked" the SIM card, I guess.Īfter this, I turned off the old iPhone, took out the SIM card and put it on my current iPhone. So, I put the SIM password and the old iPhone did get a cellphone signal, 3G signal and started working fine. I turned on the old iPhone with the SIM card inside and the old iPhone asked me to unlock my SIM, asking for its password (something that didn't happen in my current iPhone even if I rebooted the phone). So, I turned off my iPhone, took out the SIM card and put it in an old iPhone that I was not using. ![]() I thought this had something to do with my SIM card. I didn't either have the IMEI info in the About section. One thing I noticed when I went to Settings is that I didn't have the Carrier option. But I managed to fix the problem with this:
