HELP. "No Service" on my iPhone 6 - iOS 8.4

I have this "No Service" issue on my iPhone 6 iOS 8.4 This happened 2 days ago, after my battery died (expectedly, merely a minute after it still has 1% left), I charged it until it's usable again. I noticed that it shows "No Service" on the upper left. I tried to put the "No Service SIM" on my other iPhone, which is iPhone 5, and nicely it has signal, definitely, I may conclude that it has no SIM issues, I tried to bring back it to my iPhone 6, sadly it still shows "No Service" I did so many things like Airplane mode on/off, manual selection of carrier, hard reset, Reset Network Settings, Firmware upgrade via iPhone 6 Restoration, upto the point when I erase all the settings and data, then restore it, still it shows "No Service". What can you recommend to me before I bring this up to Apple Service Center (that could be miles away from my house)

TLDR: My iPhone 6 iOS 8.4 has "No Service" after recharging it from an intentional dead battery (a minute after 1% mark.) I did many things like hard reset, restoration, and complete erase of data and settings. Still "No Service" HELP.

ADDITIONAL: I already did what Apple recommends me. -> If you can't connect to a cellular network or cellular data - Apple Support

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4, 3 months old.

Does your iPhone connect to WiFi? Does it now show full charge? When you say hard reset, do you mean reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears?

If you did the reboot and it still does not see the cellular network with a valid sim, take it to an Apple Store Genius Bar and have the techs test it for hardware failures.

Yes, it connects to WiFi. It reaches 100% (full charge).

Yes, hard resetting by holding the lock button and home button simultaneously until Apple logo appears.

I'm just trying to find any fixes before I bring the unit tomorrow to Apple Service Center. I have valid SIM (working on my other iPhone)

Considering all you have done, at this point there are not many things left but an Apple technician.

By the way, while you tried the sim in another iPhone and it worked, did you try the sim from that other iPhone in the one having the problem?

I'm having the same issue and I've done everything I can to try fixing it. I'm out of the country on vacation for the next two months and there's no Genius Bar here. Please let us know if you've resolved it and how!

Thanks!

Hi, Dinnch

Any updates on this? Did you get it to Apple Service Center?

Here the same exact problem. Iphone6, iOS 8.4. The phone did not catch the carrier network, just showing "searching..." for any well-working SIM from any other iphone including other iphone6.

Thanks

Does the iPhone show an IMEI? Settings>General>About>IMEI

You may have to scroll to see the entry for IMEI.

If there is no entry for IMEI, make an appointment at the nearest

Apple store to have the iPhone evaluated.

Thanks imobl, but that's not the problem. The IMEI is ok, as always. There is a lot of people commenting on internet about this issue. Now I will try downgrading to ios 8.0...

Hi, so the same thing happened to my iPhone 6, the message of no service just appeared. However, my sister has an iPhone 5, and hers is older and has been through a couple of broken screens - so i figured it was just bad reception at our country house. Needless to say, it didn't improve when i accidentally dropped in in the toilet a couple of days after first seeing the 'no service' message. Long story short, I contacted my carrier who explained that I have ruined my phone for ever and ever and that the water damage is enormous! I felt really bad obviously, BUT, I am my fathers daughter, and if he taught me anything it's to always have a backup to restore to. I chose a backup from march, before the last update - and needless to say i totally fixed it. No more 'no service' i have plenty service, and my carrier is an idiot. Hope you all are having luck fixing your phones!
