iPhone 5 stuck on searching for signal mode

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.

best solution is just plug ur phone to computer via itunes... take a backup using itunes on computer....after backing up just restore your phone using itunes on pc...after restoring everything in ur phone will b deleted...but after restoring is completed, restore the the backup through itunes and you will get everything back...everything everything even ur call logs whatsapp mssges txt messages photos...it works with every iphone and i have tried it...goodluck

Finally solution...

This cannot be repaired at home. So you have to take it to apple service center, they will fix it for you for around INR 1200-1500. they said me that my phone had a software problem so they need to install the software again and you can try mant times to restore through DFU mode it's not gonna work.

I have to do this for my iPhone 5, about once a month because calls just stop working, says searching, the dots go empty, it even says i'm connected to another cell provider at times, then goes to call failed. Doing this fixes it for me for about a month then I have to do it again.

Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Roaming > turn off Voice Roaming, which will turn off all the other options, exit. Power off, and power back on, go back into Roaming and turn all Roaming settings back on. Sometimes I don't even have to reboot it, it just starts working again if i just turn off roaming and turn it back on.

That is odd... but it seems like it's stuck in CDMA Mode. I have seen the same thing happen on my iPhone 4S whenever I change SIM cards as I cross the Austria-Swiss border.

There seems to be an iOS bug in the 6.1.X Framework that the radio switching API gets confused with the SIM swap.

I have to flip the phone into Airplane mode, wait about 5-10 seconds, and then the phone will revert back to GSM mode.

Have you called Apple?

Are you in the USA or Europe?

Strange, take it to your carrier or call Apple.

So how did you solve it?i have the same problem

Hello.

I have the same problem. My iphone 5 stuck in searching for signal.

How do you solve it?

I have tried turn on airplane mode then turn off again, switching off iphone and switching on again, and also Reset Network Settings. However, those are can't fix my iphone.

Thanks.

Is your iPhone unlocked for all carriers ?

Yes, it is unlocked I think.

Actually, i did not change the sim card. I bought the iphone from operator that is the same as the sim card operator. 🙂

Just Follow Some Steps Are :

>> Firstly You Need To Tap On The Setting

>> Than Open The Reset Option >> Restore All

>> After That Restore The iPhone Fully

>> After That Make The Setting For The iPhone

>> Than Your Mobile Start The Working Properly Without Any Issue.

I Hope That Info Is Usefully

Ok. PCMACX, I will try and will update in this forum also after I do some steps above.

Thank you. 🙂

I couldn't reply to PCMACX as I was flying over London.

The method described is inacurate, half of the stuff isn't even on the iPhone...

There is no "Restore All" button on the iPhone, nor "Automatically Detect The Signal Of The SIM"

Plus, this step makes no sense, "After That Make The Setting For The iPhone"

What you really need to do is to talk to your carrier if you have no service. But first, backup and reset your phone to factory fresh (Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings)

I found that in a forum !

I will search for more informacion !

If i found i will post here!
