[Q] Defy cannot detect SIM and memory card.

[vvoytex]

Hi dudes. Bought lately Defy with strang issue. When I put into the slots SD and SIM cards the phone cannot detect it. Only emergency calls allowed.
Mentioned cards are 100% works as I took them from another, fully working Defy. This is red lense,
System: Blur_Version.0.0.1.MB525-nightly.T-Mobile.en.US.
Firmware: 2.1-update1.
Baseband: 3gsmepu93a_u.93.00.2bi
Kernel: 2.6.29 [email protected]+1
BPflex: GM1CP1250JORDAN250AA031
Just wonder if someone faced such an issue before and what would be a solution. Simply before I go for service I`m trying find out if this is a hardware or software problem. Another problem is existing software. Despite Eclair firmware I cannot upgrade it to Froyo or Ginger.
Each attempt(ex:JRDNEM_U3_2.21.1_SIGNED_USAJORDANTMGB_P030_A012_M001_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf, JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC_SIGN_SIGNED.sbf, JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED.sbf, ) ends with Pass on RSD lite, but black screen and only option is return to Eclair.
I`ll be gratefull for any usefull suggestions.

Wipe data from stock recovery.

Thx for reply.
Obviously data and cache wiped prior each flash attempt so this is not a solution in this case.

Have you tried a sbf with higher group code?

Thanks for reply again
Yes I can. Gingerbread SBF`s works. I just flash shadow_2.3.4-134_DFP-10. Phone is boot up but sadly SIM and memory card are still unrecognised. and I can`t do nothing except emergency phone call
It may suggest that the phone has a hardware issue. Can anyone recommend a good (I mean good quality and not too expensive) service in the UK (London)

This might be obvious but you have used baseband switcher? Though on the whole I think you are right in saying that its an hardware issue. No clue on UK providers

Hi, I wish to check - change baseband, but only SBF which allow me to get to settings not contains such feature like baseband switcher and I cant install any aplications as it required memory card, which is not recognised by phone
So I`m in deep sh...t. Visit to service seems to be only option, but thanks for your reply and advice.

Ps. I found what baseband is switched on my phone. This is 3gsmepu93a_u_93.00.2bi
Can anyone confirm that`s correct baseband for UK, please?

Baseband switcher is cwm flashable,so you've got no worries there. I have no clue if its the right baseband
