No cellular reception, wifi just fine
Hi guys, i posted on this matter befor but im going to start an thread on my own for better visibillity.
I got an defective iPhone 6 Plus and want to try and repair it myself. The problem is that i cant get any GSM reception. Here is what works and what i tried to resolve the problem:
All wireless connections like wifi and bluetooth are working (except but cellular ofc).
Everything else also works just fine. When i take out the sim card, it immediatelly tells me "no sim". If there is a sim installed, it either searches for reception like forever or just says no service. I also can see the imei and baseband number in settings. There are no signs of waterdamage whatsoever.
Today i replaced the upper antenna (the one with the plastic housing), the dock connector and the antenna cable connecting the dock with the logic board.
None of that worked.
Im starting to get a little desperate here :(
Does anyone have another idea which part could be broken? Is it the logicboard itself? Is there any way to further run some tests to find the source of the problem?
Maybe the simcard reader itself is damaged?
I would really appreciate some help/suggestions what to do.

Hi, have you tried a different SIM card? Also have you tried turning OFF Automatic network selection In Carrier settings? Phone should then search and tell if there are any networks in range. If there are networks available if you select one phone will tell you if you're allowed access.

Thanks for your answer. No i haven't tried a different SIM card, but the one i use is working in another iP6 just fine, so i guess thats not it right?
Im going to try the second suggestion asap. We'll see if that brings new information^^
Edit: I just tried to test, and for me there is no "Carrier" option (even with the sim installed, while its searching for reception). On the iPhone 6 the option only is available if the sim is installed.

Tried all the suggested "solutions" - none of that either worked or i tried doing already.
Its very strange that both tests regarding the software and the hardware were all fine - and still the problem exists. :/
Can i somehow get Tom Chai to read this post? He seems to know alot about the iPhone hardware.

I am having the same situation of not getting cellular data. I am not sure how many atennas there are? Can someone direct me to get the correct part? My wifi is working just fine. Thanks!
