android stopped working on my phone ever since my reader crapped out. So as the title states. Anyway?
Sorry, the way android is installed at present requires SD.
The card reader is part of the main flex assembly, and you can buy another off Ebay, however it does require a full disassembly in order to fit it, and will cost about £25, which is a bargain compared to some other phones where a dead SD means a full mainboard replacement.

I damaged(torn off) two of the pins from the sim card reader under the battery from the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2, while taking the sim card out (its a pain taking it out)
now it will not read the sim cards...
PLAN A) i will try to convince HTC to replace it under HTC's manufacturer Warranty...
PLAN B) buy another T-Mobile Touch pro 2 cheap damaged and swap the mainboards, or buy the mainboard if possible alone...
PLAN C) fix it myself by replacing it with one from eBays "Blackberry Curve Card Holder"
PLAN D) leave it on my desk until the dust covers it, and i no longer remeber of the phone...LOL..
so anyone else damaged the sim reader or any other part of the phone???
and yes, i will post pictures of the phone...and the progress of the fix(if i fix it)...and that is not the actual picture,...its a FCC pic. that is where the sim reader is....if i choose to fix it, i think i don't even have to unscrew the back housing since i can even see the solder connections with the battery removed
Hey, how did you damaged them? I have just realised that I have the same problem in one of my xperia x1. When I look at sim slot I can see two pins which looks different from the others and from this in my second (working) xperia. Now I am thinking how to get to them.
I'd like to hear the "ran over" story...
After 7 months of daily heavy usage
Nothing really, only a few minor scratches here and there, that´s it
The SD card reader on my Kaiser broken and doesn't work... (H/W problem.)
Is there anyway to NAND without SD? My kaiser already HardSPL and I can flash the Android kernal with CustomerRRU.exe via USB. However, it seems SD card is needed to flash the 2nd part (Chief's flavor). Anyway to do this without SD?
Thanks1
As far as I know, once you go NAND you pretty much rely on a working SD card reader. What exactly is wrong with the SD card reader?
If you feel brave and have some soldering skills, you could try to open up your Kaiser and repair it. Most of the time when the SD card reader is broken, the solder joints are broken. Which is not a surprise since the only thing holding the SD card slot is the solder. The annoying problem is getting the protective plate off the card reader slot, if there is one.
Thanks for the reply! My Kaiser seems got a broken flex cable or really serious problem since not only the SD doesn't work, yesterday the phone cannot even detect SIM card! Guess need to fix it one way or the other... Anyway thanks for your reply!
I actually had a similar problem with another phone. Those tiny cables that run through the phone are extremely fragile. I was able to fix it by lightly sanding the connector with 2000 grit sand paper, and coating it with dielectric grease afterward. Even then, I still had to pull it out and push it in again a few times before the cable was working.
Hello, I recently bought a Desire Z with a broken screen from a kid. I swapped the screen and it turns on nicely, however:
It doesn't read any SD card, at all. Could this be a loose ribbon cable?
The outermost right part of the screen doesn't react at all, maybe half a cm. Broken digitizer?
Any experience and/or knowledge on this is deeply appreciated.
Just a quick update if somebody comes over this via Google.
I took it apart once again and double checked all the ribbon cables and such, seeing that these can be a *****. It now reads SD card, but the screen still acts the same, so the digitizer is most likely broken.
My Samsung Galaxy S II (SGH-T989) phone will not detect my sim card. This started happening after I opened up the phone and nearly broke it trying to remove the "motherboard"? I know I caused it, but the problem is I don't know what it is I have to replace in order to fix it.
Below are some photos that could possibly help. The first photo, the part highlighted by the yellow circle, that part was bent off when i tried removing the board. Don't know if that would affect the sim card or not
The next photo, this cable I'm not absolutely sure what its purpose is for. This is not the original cable, the original cable was broken off somehow so i bought a different cable off ebay. Not sure how this affects the phone.
It could be the sim card and memory card part entirely except its hooked in fine and I have no other reason for it to stop working.
I don't mind buying parts except there's not much for sale. The only parts for sale ANYWHERE is the sim card and memory part and the usb port.
So my question I guess would be what exactly could be causing this sim card issue considering the actions I've taken with opening my phone?
If you're not familiar with what error I speak of, it's when instead of the bars you see a BLOCKED icon.
Any help would be great, thank you.
Hello, I accidentally damaged my sim tray and now only one of five sim cards works. I put crappy nano sim adapter in tray and when I pull it out, adapter rip off one golden pin. There were three and now is only one.
Is it something which is repairable?
Whoaes! That aints no goods..
DO you still have the pin? You night be able to work it back into the hole and have it connect well enough to be used again.
Otherwise, you can look online for Gnex parts and attempt to replace the component that holds the sim card. But if you are really stuck, you might be advised to either take it to a professional for repair, or replace the phone entirely with a new model. Either a different, phone, or another Gnex, which you should be able to find used all over the place.\
I really don´t need that phone, I have new one few months, but I want to sell it. Maybe I would find someone who will buy damaged phone but hoped that it is not as bad.
It ´s sad, beside this the phone is in excelent condition
One thing, some sim card work like normal and other sim card from differetn operator is not recognized.
