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.

My BA stoped recognizing any SD card, by the excelente service of apexlaptops, they tell me that without seing the PDA it coulb be the SD reader or the controller chip.
They say that they can fix it, or send me the components and DIY.
They told me if I have a 0,20mm soldering iron I could do it.
Well... has anybody ever done such a delicate procedure of replacing a chip or a SD reader or anything like it?
I don't know why, but my external sd card reader DOESN'T clip the SD Card when inserted. It always ejects the card
I considered to fix it myself, but it seems that a tiny piece is not fitting well so I'm thinking of ordering a replace part that I could use to get over this.
I have found screens, buttons, SIM readers, but nothing about SD card readers. Do any of you know where to buy this ext. reader?? Thanks!
I believe its directly a part on the motherboard but i could be wrong ...
If it were mine, id just take it apart and fux it myself

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.

and here is a video how to fix it . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqutnx1tp5s
best of luck
Recently switched LTE carrier for the N7 and the sim caught a pin on its way out. Broke it unfortunately Anyone know the part number for the board holding the SIM card reader? Been Googling but can't seem to find it Was able to find replacement card readers but I suck at surface mount soldering so that won't work.

Hi, here is the part number and you can get it from ebay but often the touch function is lost after replacing this board.
Just get something like this instead. It's a cheaper and simpler solution to the problem.
There is another option though. While SMD soldering is difficult, you could easily solder a wired SIM card permanently there.
:good:
Thanks! I will look into it and see what I can do. I rather not have to carry an external mifi device.
