Hi,
I am having a strange issue with my SIM card and my S4(9505), I was originally using Vodafone UK but I switched to EE roughly 6 months ago and everything was fine to start with. Then about 3 months ago, the phone would give an error saying SIM card removed and prompt me to restart the device, this would happen about once a day so it wasn't unbearable, however, recently it started giving the same error every 10-20 minutes and now it will not detect my EE SIM at all. The strange thing is, the Vodafone SIM I previously used works perfectly fine. Also, the EE SIM works fine in other devices.
TL;DR:
Phone not detecting EE SIM card but working fine with other networks.
Phone Info:
ROM: Omega V40
Android: 4.4.2
Baseband/LTE (Modems): XXUGNG8
Condition: No major drops / damage
What I have tried so far:
Replacement SIM from carrier - Same problem
Replacement SIM/SD card reader - Same problem
taking apart and cleaning whole device with compressed air - No help
Detaching and Reattaching all connectors/ribbon cables on the motherboard - No help
Wipe cache/Dalvik as suggested by google - No help
Wipe data/factory reset - Same issue
Revert to stock ROM - No help
Flash full stock firmwares for EE, Vodafone and unbranded - Same issue with every one, as well as 'android.process.acore has stopped constantly'
Airplane mode trick, as described here(forum.xda-developers.com/show...1#post58245416) (multiple times) - No help
