My iPhone 5c is also stuck in Searching.. Mode.

Though I already tried everything possible-

  • Factory Reset
  • Reset through DFU Mode
  • Airplane Mode
  • Date And Time

I'm Able To see my IMEI No. but cannot see carrier options. When I resetted it Through DFU mode then it was working till 15-20 mins then it started showing NO serivce and sooner it got stuck on searching mode. By trying all the Methods I think my Phone is Suffering from hardware issues that can be cured in an apple store only.So ill get it checked at an apple before it gets into the hands of Dealth. For Someone who is facing Problems in Restoring in DFU mode through windows show up with your concern Here In the replies below.
