Hey guys & gals,
My trinity is no longer reading sim cards, ive tried about 4 or 5.
Any ideas? It was just updated to mobile 6 a while back, it had a few problems but nothing this major.
I have checked on my old phone and the sim cards are readable in there.
Is there a way to replace the SIM card reader chip or.. well ya. DOH!
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I havent found anything myself, and I havent really found a place that can repair it either

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I looked for answers and could not find any either.
But here are some repair centers that handle the Trinity:

i cant install install any radio rom, my phone says no gsm. i bought the phone on line, and i dont no what rom was it before, but it has no gsm. then i flashed many radio roms with universal ruu-cid bypassing, but cant install..does not move, stuck at 0% then updat error, i have a g3. and i already searched thru the forum. but those didnt help at all...some solutions i found:
- flash with sd storage, he just posted a pic and didnt explain anything and never reply
- check ur id or something and make sure u have the same id? flash it back to original rom- which i didnt no what rom was installed in this phone before...then he didnt explain..
so, im wondering can any1 plz explain step by step how to flash any raido rom, or i have the feeling that its broken anyways, but wanna fix it if i could. thx in advance to all yall nice ppll
Try installing a WM5 ROM and then reflashing the radio. Also check the version of the bootloader, as that may be causing problems as well. I just updated mine to 1.01. Have been looking for 1.2, but the file available ay the wiki section doesn't seem to work. By the way, do you just not get any network signal, or do you get some sort of messages to that effect???
Cheers!
what does the new bootloader do? should i update the bootloader firs and then try to flash the radio rom? or just flash it back to wm6 then update the bootloader? 1 more thing, will any wm5 work?
I've got the same problem too.. I think it's a defect on the motherboard. I am loosing the SIM card at random intervals, I can't get it to happen - it just happens...
I am buying a new M/B I think something went wrong with the GSM part of the UNI.

I have the same problem with "invalid sim card" ... As I have friend who's GSM repair guy, I got my card reader replaced, and also tried flashing new radio ROM - still loosing it - occasionally it's "no service", and at other times "invalid SIM"
I'll see if my friend will be able to find some bad soldiering on the MB and maybe fix it (optimistic outlook
If anyone solves this notify me
I think it maybe some microswitch on the motherboard, I switched sims - it's something else wrong with the radio part of the jasjar
--summoner
I had similar problem and it was connected with the metal pin where the SIM card is inserted, since it was not pushed enough to get contact with the module. Try this maybe can help
I tried, bent them some and sprayed contact cleaner everywhere...
nothing
COnsidewring the increasing issues of NO GSM, and as such now we have memory upgradation being done, here is the way to tackle the issue.Pls note and understand carefully what u are doing and then proceed.It involves hrdware skills.
-Open the Universal as per the guide and locate the Qualcomm Chip and Radio section, which is near the antenna.
- Apply the flux on the Qualcomm Chip and hot blow it mildly and carefully.This will eliminate any kind of dry solder and enhance the contacts of the chip.
-Reassemble and Immedialtely flash the Radio ROM only.If u can flash, then when reboot, it will show Radio None, insttead of NO GSM, as in case of Blue Angel.Soft reset again and u are back to normal Radio Version.
I hope this helps.I have been able to recover several Unis with this technique.
So you are saying the radio chip needs to be resoldered because some connection is loose?
What do you think is the reason?
--Summoner
Sorted!
I did as hdubli suggested and it worked! my uni has worked for 18 hours straight now whereas before would lose the sim every 10 minutes or so. Quite scary - although I have a rework station, I have never used it on anything so valuable before!
Thanks for the advice,
John
Cool,
What do you mean rework station? How can I do it myself? can I order this FLUX online?
Can you supply photos or more detailed instructions?
--summoner
Summoner,
a rework station is a hot-air blower used for soldering the very small components found in mobiles and micro-electronics. It is possible to melt all the solder under all the pins of a chip at the same time and if you use a little flux to prevent it ixidising when it melts, you can get all of the joints to be perfectly made. A rework station will cost at least $100US and you do need some practice before you risk your uni, but if you know a local phone-repair shop, they will either have a rework station or know a "man who can". Hdubli suggested reworking the Qualcomm chip in the radio section - the picture in the wiki shows at least 3 Qualcomm chips, so I did them all!
If you're happy with the concept and fancy having a go yourself then google for a local distributor of "aoyue" - they are a Chinese manufacturer of rework kit, and any electronics dealer that sells soldering kit will sell you a "residue-free flux pen". I got mine from Maplin.co.uk here in UK for less than $10us.
hope that helps,
JT
Thanks for your reply... I'll see if to get a rework station, it looks interesting - I know how to solder and stuff. but never used a rework station.
Does anyone have online instructions/tips for using?
--Summoner
www.sparkfun.com has some great tutorials on hot-air soldering and reworking of surface mount components. If you do get a rework station, I recommend a lot of practice on some dead gadgets before you risk your uni!
Best of luck with it,
John
Any luck with this rework method?
I tried to rework but no luck.
no gsm with htc phones/hermes
Hey, just a shot. ATT won't help worth crap and their customer service blows. I found out that if you do a hard boot to flash rom you need to remove the sims card. I am not sure if that is the procurring cause of the no gsm issue, but I don't have a data package and they program that sim to block the gsm! Well, blocking the gsm during programming also blocks your device from setting the parameters correctly for acquiring the imei, radio, and protocol version. DUH ATT! They admitted that they dont service the devices to me on the phone. That's my 2 cents. If it works for others let everyone else know. Now, can someone explain to me how to upgrade to 6.5 and where to start for programing this thing to do great things! Thanks, Ryan

Welcome to the forum
You are in the wrong section
Universal does not means all HTC devices, it refers to a specific model
Try to look into the proper section of your device
Good luck,
Hi guys
I've had an o2 Ignito for the last year and its given me no trouble whatsoever.
I've tried various roms for it, all with no problems.
All of a sudden, I'm getting no signal at all. o2 confirm the phone has not been blacklisted or anything and my sim card works ok in other phones.
Any ideas?
o2 have said send it back and we'll repair it... I've got a cooked rom on there of course.
I've got a o2 stock rom called: Xda Ignit2_UK_2.10.206.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe Would that be enough to get past they're security checks? Do I need to remove HardSPL 1st? I've searched the site and I can't get my head round doing it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that could help

Reverting to stock SPL is always the last step.....be sure tot restore stock ROM and radio first.
good luck!
Great stuff mate, thanks for that link. Don't know how I missed that.
It may be, that sticking a new rom on there might fix it. I'll let you know
glad i could help out, this one is even more clear:

The stockROM you mention has a radio in it (it's the last part of the description) so when you put this on it you're good to go.
He..everybody in here is/was a noob at some point, so no worries
Worked a treat, o2 were arses getting the phone back to me, but they did
In the end it was the main board that went so that's been replaced. So new EMEI number :|
Is there an easy/cheap/FREE way of unlocking it? I'm thinking of selling it because I've lost the heart with it somewhat.
Thanks again for the invaluable help, gotta love these forums
your most welcome, but can't help you out with the unlock thingy....never had a locked phone
O2 uk dont lock their phones! i have an ignito! they are not sim locked

Sell it, or get an upgrade.. Or just unlock it again. All three are just about as easy as each other. I stumbled upon a complete noob guide to flashing the other day. I think once you have a custom SPL on there you're good to do pretty much anything.
Hello XDA users!
I know a few of the forum members have found sources in China willing to do s-off, which is assumed to be using stolen equipment from an HTC Service center. Can anybody give me a lead on how you found these kinds of shops? I will be traveling through Shanghai in a few weeks and would be curious to see what's out there. I can speak Chinese, so even a general idea would be a nice start. Obviously more details are better. Even if the shop you went to was not in Shanghai, any clues that might help me find a similar one would be most appreciated. Cheers!

go on taobao.com, and search for ＂soff one x 上海＂， then just ask the seller their shop location in china

willing.?
i reckon they paid off some insiders to get the proper files to achieve s-off. Yes, they are doing business, gave you s-off inexchange for moneys.
Highly dis-encourage for doing this...
try and get the files dude, find out what they are doing,
Success!
So just to update anybody who is interested, I did manage to pull it off when I was through Shanghai. I found a guy on Taobao named Mr. Wu who left his cell number on the auction, as well as the address of his store. When I got there I called him to see if his store was open and if he could do it. He said no problem. I met him at a McDonald's near the store and went up.
He first connected a small black box to a 9V battery. The box had a ribbon cable that ended in a micro sim card adapter. He put that in the phone's sim card slot first. He then fished around on his computer for the appropriate Diag file (he had dozens of different phone versions) and copied it to a usb which he connected to the micro-usb end of the phone. He then booted the phone into some kind of mode (couldn't see the screen) and within about 15 seconds it was done. I paid him 200RMB (about 30 USD)
One thing to note: both my Data partition and the SD-Card partition of the internal memory were corrupted by this process. The phone booted fine (System was intact) but Data was reformatted to ext-3 from ext-4 and I had to ask the phone to format the "SD-Card" partition. Luckily I had backed most things up on my computer beforehand. My HBOOT version was unchanged (0.94) but my phone was now "Locked" again. And of course S-OFF.
I can how happily flash boot images without being at my computer, which is pretty nice. If anybody has any further questions, let me know.
u dont need to flash boot.img at all lol, just flash the rom or kernel and they already include their boot.img ^ω^
congrats

If you have even flashed a RUU, then it may be a hardware problem. Try with another sim card. Same thing happening?

I don't think this old Desire could be repaired, especially in my country.
But you could give it a try, just make sure to ask for the price. Sometimes it's better to buy a new one :laugh:

yes thats the matter, if they ask for somehing huge then it will be meaningless not to buy a new phone. anyway thanks. i have already submitted it to the serice center. lets cee what they would say.
Hi, I had a problem with my Note 2 and I brought it to a UK Samsung repair centre, they did something to it and now my IMEI reads 0049990106400001 (which is different from what the sticker on the pack of the phone says).
The issue is that Samsung won't touch my phone now because it's not a UK phone (I think they did not realise that the first time round).
Anyway, don't get me started on this... after searching the net for days it seems I have to restore my IMEI. I tried a few methods, but unsuccessfully.
I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on what I should do, or maybe the name of a reliable company that would fix this for me.
Thank you.

Yes I read that thread, thanks.It seems like it is really tricky to repair IMEI on the GT-N7100. I got in touch with cvxcvx, maybe he can do it remotely, even though it does not seem like an option.
Good, I hope you get it fixed soon.
Kind regards
