iphone 6 plus displays no IMEI when dialing *#06#

IPhone 6 Plus displays no IMEI when dialing *#06#. There is baseband firmware in “about iPhone”. And iPhone keeps displaying “is searching”.

Repair Process

Customer sends one board only. First assemble it to testing iPhone assembly and test. After power on, iPhone will display “no SIM card” without inserting SIM card. If that happens, there is modem firmware in “about iPhone”(picture 1-40). That is to say, there is baseband.

Picture 1-40

Numbers on the back of modem firmware suggests there is baseband CPU. There is not baseband, if without numbers. Input*#06# on the dial interface without inserting SIM card. If it is normal, the same IMEI in “about iPhone” will show up.

If there is no response and IMEI after inputting*#06#, in addition, there is baseband firmware, so the problem cannot be caused by baseband. Displaying no IMEI after dialing *#06# is often caused by the two RFFE bus of baseband. There are four test points under NAND Flash , as shown in picture 1-41.

The four test points do not reveal any copper. Therefore, we need to use a pointed probe Multimeter to measure or scrape them. The normal diode data is between 300-400. But the RFFE2_CLK (picture 1-42) diode data is 750 which is seriously high.

Picture 1-42

It is clear that RFFE2_CLK signal antenna is not normal. The diode data 750 comes from CPU. So the circuit breakage of baseband solder pad has been excluded. The normal diode data is about 400. The diode data of RFFE2 is from the DSM amplifier, and it probably caused by DSM amplifier’s U_DSM_RF pseudo soldering. The material object of DSM amplifier IC is shown in picture 1-43.

Reassemble DSM amplifier and measure the diode data of RFFE_CLK. Now the data is 380 that is normal. After power on, iPhone shows IMEI when dialing *#06#. Insert SIM card and the signal becomes normal, even for several days. The trouble is removed.

Slove iPhone X Won't Turn On

Image
Customer delivered a iPhone X and described the fault is not to boot after the phone drop accidentally. It reports error 56 when restore the iPhone X. How to repair this fault? Because iPhone X is the two board connected through the middle column, it is easy to drop the point. It may be that the solder points from NFC chip to the CPU part have fell off. Take apart the iPhone X by iPhone Screwdriver Repair Tools , take the upper board off the main board, when separate the main board we see a row of points have fell off. Picture 19-3-1 Look at the location map on WUXINJI dongle , it is surrounded by a ground wire, in fact, there are 6 useful points dropped. The ground wire does not need to be filled, the 6 useful points are added by professional phone welding tools. These are the signal wires of the NFC chip, so the iPhone X would report error 56. Picture 19-3-2 Then the tin of the middle column is repaired by iPhone X BGA reballing stencil , and the AP part is welded bac...

Setup and install the zxw tool Dongle Wizard

Image
So, you recently purchased ZXW Tools from our vipprog online store have no clue how to set it up?  Well, here is a quick guide detailing the installation process.

IPhone 6P Front Camera and Distance Sensor Fault

Image
Received a iPhone 6 Plus, the customer said that the front camera can not be used, and the distance sensor has problem too. The two failures are concentrated on the front camera flex cable, which is likely to be caused by the damage of the wiring. First, we have to eliminate the possibility of the external parts fault, then consider the motherboard problem. Remove the screen assembly and replace it with a good one, we still can't turn on the front camera and use the distance sensor. Disassemble to measure the ground resistance of the front camera seat of J1111 by Fluke digital multimeter , it is found that several pins are infinitely large, and the related inductors are loose when touch with the pen. It seems that the small components are pseudo welded. 19-1- 1 Remove the motherboard and observe it under the Trinocular Stereo Microscope , we can see that the touch was repaired before. 19-1-2 The back of the sub touch chip U2402 is the front camera seat J1111, an...
