NOTE 5 not recognizing SIM card anymore

so yesterday i swapped SIM cards from iphone 6s and note 5 but the issue is that i'm idiot , because i have inserted the iphone 6s sim tray in the note 5 by mistake :crying: :crying:
then i have gently removed the iphone 6s tray from the note 5 and everything was fine and didn't look like i broke something in the sim card reader , but after inserting the right tray with the sim , my note 5 didn't recognize it , that moment i knew my life turned upside down and became like hell ! , i've been searching in the last 2 days for a solution but i didn't find any tutorial on youtube , i didn't even find sim card reader for sale !!! , i don't even think that i can replace the sim card reader with a new one even if i had the chance to get a new sim card reader because the note 5 sim card reader isn't similar to the other sim card readers
please help meeeeeee , i'm confused i can't even sleep i keep thinking about what would happen if this problem stays for ever ! AND i didn't forget that i'm stupid
thank you

Hi,
I'm Daniel from Brazil,
I've read your history and I'm afraid passing by the same problem,
Early days I update my note 5 for 6.0.1 Indian ROm from SamMobile, and my phone didn't conect on operator network any more, just sinalize Emergency Call Only, So, I thought this was a problem with my new Rom and Since saturday try 12 Rom/s 2 customs and 10 differents between 5.1..1 and 6.0.1.
And them I finally read your topic and came to my mind that before update I change Sim Card from my Note 5 and put by the wrong side the Sim Tray.
I'm thinking that my Sim Card Reader can be broke.
I will sinalize this problem for the TI support tha is analyzing my phone.
Thanks for this topic and i try to see if this can be fixed.
I could say to will try to find a person that fix MotherBoards and can make a laser welding.
In Brazil there is sim tray note 5 to sell:

i just was wondering if i can install dual sim card reader in my note 5 , knowing that it came with 1 sim card reader exactly like your's
and by the way i don't know what makes the single sim reader more expensive than the dual sim reader ! ,
on ebay:
single sim reader reaches 17$
dual sim reader reaches 5$ with free shipping !
what an awkward logic .....

fixed it costed me about 150$

Help dualsim

Hi to all.
My Note8 n950F not is dual sim is only mono sim.
Is possible upgrade to dualsim? Any Mods? I believe the hardware is the same!

I doubt it's the same. In DS you have a hibrid SIM card tray where the second slot is capable of holding SD card or a SIM card. With normal Note 8 you won't be able to add the SIM card in SD card slot.

Is ok question of tray,I change it.
The question is second IMEI !

There is a way but the other sim won't be active unless you activate it. Those dual sim flex cables are available

Any more explanation? What are dual sim flex cables?

Note 8 N950F - Convert to dual sim?

Hello,
Am new user of note 8 N950F.
At my last phone, i was using 2 sim cards. Now i see that N950F support only 1 sim card and 1 memory card
Is there any way that i can use 2 sim cards in n950f?
Thank You!

I don't think that is possible for the N950F. As it is designed to as a single SIM device.

Sorry!
Please delete post!

Strange how there's 2 sim toolkits running still.
I'm ok with pie but oreo starting to sound better.
Call recording and dual sim would be nice...

Depending on where your device originates from you may stil have call recording after you hae installed Pie onto your device. I installed Pie onto my N950N and I still have Call Recording on it.

if you device comes with the hybrid simcard tray, you can either use dual sim & no SD Card, or 1 sim and 1 SD Card.
Back on oreo you can buy those adapters to use 2 simcards and 1 SD card simultaneously but on Pie (One UI) samsung decided to block it.. so you can either use Dual Sim & No Sd Card or 1 sim & 1 SD Card.
I hated this.. so i went out to installed a pre-rooted custom rom as close to stock i can find, which the ROM maker edited it to accept the dual sim & 1 sdcard mod. I lost my knox and samsung pay, bt got samsung pay to work on my samsung gear sport instead. dont misunderstand me, spay still doesnt work on the phone but can work on gear sport if you hide the spay related packages via magisk hide.
Secure folders dont work anymore unfortunately. it was my favourite to "hide" apps and a seperate and secure photo gallery..
as for call recording, google decided to kill off 3rd party call recording (yes, google not samsung did it).. BUT since android has native call recording, and is activated via CSC, and having a rom that is pre-rooted, i went ahead and activated call recording.. and enabled camera shutter sound option (to enable the option to switch off camera shutter sound in camera app)
so, if you do not mind loosing knox and knox related features, go get yourself a custom rom. (i personally went for Dr Ketan's ROM)

Thank you!
This sound good because andorid version on my phone is 8.0.0 and smasung experience version is 9.0
Is anyone have experioence whit this adaptors? @BluePhnx

But this isn't really dual sim.. U can only use 1sim at a time. Unlike real dual sim with active standby for both sims

You are right!
Don't think you can truly convert a single sim phone (SM-N950F) into a true dual sim phone (SM-N950F/DS).
Because I think you'll need 2 IMEI's numbers while the SM-N950F has only one IMEI number. So that is probably the only choice is to switch between the sims.
I deleted my first post because that was more for the dual sim phone and not for the single sim phone. Sorry for the confusion on that!
Hopefully someone has figured something out for the single sim phone to use 2 sims at once (1 active and 1 in standby mode)!
Wish the OP luck on figuring this out!

Ohhh, on sime per time. Is same as single sim
I will continue use my single sim note 8

yes, this isn't a dual sim this way. In my opinion is dual sim constantly have 2 number available.
Like the SM-N950FD

Dual Sim Issue ?

Don't Know Why When I Put Dual Sim Cards In My Phone Only Sim Card 2 Works But If I Put Only 1st Sim In My 1st Sim Card Slot It Works Flawlessly? Please Help ?

Interesting. I use dual sims and mine works fine. Zero issues with either sim thus far. Can you elaborate on your experience and I'll can try to duplicate it?

Out of curiosity, do you have a sim pin set? I do on one of mine, and the phone seemed a little hit and miss at asking for the pin when it was in slot 1, instead, it basically just ignored it.
I've put my pinned sim in slot 2, and my unpinned in slot 1 and everything works fine now.

Dual SIM physically blocked.

Hello All,
I've been looking to add a 2nd SIM to my wife's phone as she'd like to have separate numbers for work/life.
When I opened up the SIM tray I saw that the tray has an empty slot for 1 SIM card and another for SD card. there is a shape of the 2nd SIM slot on the tray, but it isn't fully cut out.
So I went to a few mobile repair shops around my area and was told they can order a tray for us, but it probably won't work as the phone is probably locked in software.
I know the phone isn't carrier locked, since I can switch carriers freely, so what can be the reason some unknown entity went out of their way to lock this phone to a single-SIM only?
And is there a way to unlock the 2nd slot?
Thanks!

Hi
I would take A gable and get a cheap sim tray of the bay and see if it works.
I have 2 sim and Micro SD in mine. If it is software lock i think you could flash A different region software to unlock it. Or It could be blocked as the sim reader only has the pins to read 1 sim card witch could be need hole new sim reader slot.
You could try cut out the plastic blocking the second slot
