r-sim mini 2 burns my SIM (iPhone 5S sprint) - GSM-Forum

Hi, I unlocked my iPhone 5S with rsim mini 2 v9.8 and everything was working good. But after some hours the NO SERVICE message appeared and my carrier SIM card was completely dead. It was not working anymore. I tried to put it in an unlocked iPhone 5 and still NO SERVICE. After that I went to my carrier shop and bought a new nano sim 128k. after some hours of use again the same. I was using the patch from cydia, ir0se in forced 2G and the rsim.

What country are you in? What carrier is this for? Seems ok in USA. I've rarely lost the SIM card, usually just the RSIM that breaks. I've done tons of hours of pulling in and out. RSIM still works often times, but it starts to glitch the phone, so you need a new RSIM. I tested 50 hours over the last week.

I am from Greece. The same issue happened with a rsim air 2. What's the problem?

It could be software-related causing your phone to run too hot. If your phone is too hot for too long, your SIM will get damaged. It could also be a defective RSIM.

So what should I do now?

Buy a new RSIM or two. Always have a backup.

New test today. With new rsim mini 2 v9.8 and 64k sim card from another carrier. The same issue. NO SERVICE in any one phone

After you see No Service, you need to jailbreak, install iFile, and change CarrierLab.bundle to Sprint_CSIM_LTE_US.bundle

So, is this damage my sim yes or no?

No, you got bad luck. The phone damaged your SIM.
