[Q] SIM card not recognized by Nexus 2012 3G 32GB

[Q] SIM card not recognized by Nexus 2012 3G 32GB - no IMEI number

I'm about to send the tablet for a repair but just wanted to check that it isn't a software related issue.

So, tablet has been working perfectly for 2 years but I never used the 3G on it. Recently I installed a SIM card in it and here's what happened:

1. Absolutely nothing changed after the card was inserted after many restarts, switching off WiFi, Bluetooth and switching Aeroplane mode on and off in Android 4.4.4

2. Tried card in another phone and it was all fine

3. Tried a different SIM from a different network in tablet and again nothing

4. Tried to check mobile settings but the menu wasn't there! When I go to Settings, here are the menus listed under Wireless & networks:

Wi-Fi

Bluetooth

Data usage

... More

Aeroplane mode

NFC

Android Beam

VPN

5. Updated to Android 5.02 - still nothing but this time I could get to mobile settings by doing a search in Settings

6. Did factory reset + wipe cache in recovery mode

7. Tried to add APN manually but settings I fill aren't saved after I tap back or Save under 3 dots

8. Upgraded to 5.1. This time, when I search for mobile data, all the menu items are greyed out and can't select them

9. Checked for IMEI number in about / status but it does not exist

Not rooted but was a seller refurbished so don't know its entire history

Kernel:

3.1.10-gf57b8b

Build LMY47D

FCC MSQME370T

Is this a hardware fault?

[TOOL][UTILITY] CIKA - Carliv Image Kitchen for Android - unpack/repack boot-recovery

Hi, I present you my latest work: CIKA aka Carliv Image Kitchen for Android . So, what is this? It's a utility (tool) for unpacking and repacking boot and recovery images for many kind of android phones. I made two versions, one for windows users and one for linux users. The windows version works by dragging&dropping over the script you want to use, while the linux version will work with terminal commans (very simple commands though). What's inside? For windows version the scripts are batch files and for linux bash files , but the names are the same and they do same thing: clear_all will clear the working folder deleting any unpacked boot/recovery folder, but not the boot or recovery files (original or repacked). image_info will print on screen all informations about the image you want to check (sizes, offsets, cmdline, etc.) and all these infos will be saved in a text file (which will be deleted when you clear the folder - see point 1). This is handy if you don't...

Part 2 of Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina keeps the Harry Potter influence going

Everyone who’s been enjoying the magician-in-training aspect of Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina should be happy to know that the second half of the show’s first season doubles down on its debt to Harry Potter and Buffy the Vampire Slayer while also drawing some on Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings . One of the most enduring ideas popularized by George Lucas and J.R.R. Tolkien is that world-changing powers can easily be misused. In this latest Sabrina run, the heroine’s decision to sign her name in “The Book of the Beast” at the end of the season’s first half means she’s now one of the most capable witches on Earth, and those new abilities are changing her. Chilling Adventures debuted last October with 10 episodes, introducing... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts http://bit.ly/2OQyWSY via IFTTT
