Chosen Solution
My 5S got stuck in a searching mode where he can’t connect to the Sprint network. It was working fine until afternoon yesterday suddenly stopped working. When it was on Wi-Fi I am able to use iMessage and use apps like Safari and access the Internet, but I still can’t make or receive calls and I also can’t send text messages. I tried doing reset network settings, and even it all out restore, with no luck. I’ve also tried ejecting the Sim card and reinserting it. I still have the same problem. I googled around a little bit and found this website suggesting that the antenna and it may need to be fixed on the iPhone five model. The parts on the iPhone 5s, but I can’t find any type of repair list it for the cell antenna. Is this possible? I don’t see any type of package on iFixit. Thank you.
The problem here could be a faulty baseband IC, the phone usually goes into “searching” with this fault and is unable to find a mobile network, to further check whether this is the fault, more often than not the modem firmware number (which you can find in settings > about) , is blank To fix this problem, it can be done by reflowing the IC, but as with any reflow, the fix is never guaranteed to be a permanent 1, the best fix is to have it removed and reballed (new solder applied)
Don’t replace the antenna, this is a main board problem, replacing the antennas won’t help
Hello have you tried another sim it’s possable the sun could be the problem. Anyway if another sim is having the same issue then you need to replace antenna it is located on the dock connector so you will need to replace it. iPhone 5s Lightning Connector Replacement
I have an answer just throw that piece o $@$* from sprint down an elevator shaft and all problems solved!! Becauae SPRINT SUXXXX
Poop ,,,$@$* this thing wont let me say $@$* haaa
did u try puttin it in rice
Yes replace the lighting port as the antenna is located on it
Main board problem. Replacing the charging flex will resolve nothing. As another has already pointed out there are multiple attanie and the likelyhood of simultaneous failure is too slim. Moisture commonly causes this failure. Especially if it is located on the underneath side of the Sim on the main board. Try placing a different cellular provider’s sim a lot of times certain frequencies are damaged at the end of the day your sprint phone is only suited for sprint network usage. Goodluck
Try resetting the phone, it might help, had same issue in the past. replacing the antenna will not help.
I got 5c, it’s keep searching, no bet work for past 13 hours, what do I need to do. I did all resetting but doesn’t working.
I have an iPhone 5S I water on it
Try using R-SIM 11+ or replace Docking cable
For me, this link was very helpful to solve the problem (No Network and No Firmware ) Synch your iPhone 5s with Mac’s iTunes and at iTunes, use “restore iphone” button. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/799…
i phone 5s serching essu
Put it in rice. Add some chicken and salad with balsamic vinegar. It’s a classic Filipino dish.
My issue is almost the same except it’s my wifi. I cannot log into the wifi @home. Other iPhones can android and apple. My iPad is also working on the home wifi. I’ve done everything (I.e.reset back to factory, update, dfu, restart dsl router,). I was able to get onto &log in use the “unhelpful”istore in the mall. what gives? Please Help! Thank you
