Advice on sentence

How can I say in short that I still did not get any response from someone. Is this correct:

I did not get any response from him yet.

However, no response from him yet.

Are both correct? Any other options.

Thank you very much! Is the use of 'did not get' wrong, or is it just less formal. As in, I did not get a response from him yet.

It is the wrong verb form there. 'Yet' makes it clear that you are still waiting for the response.

Or you could say eg He hasn't replied yet.

Yes, that is what I thought. Out of curiosity: would these be correct:

I did not get a response.
I still did not get a response. Does the still here make the sentence wrong, since it makes it clear that I am still waiting?

Clive, would you please provide your input for the two example I just wrote.

Sorry, I meant to ask you, Micawber, not Clive.

It is the wrong verb form in good English; no doubt you will hear it, though.

Ok. it is the wrong verb form because I am using still in my sentence. Right?

What about if I excluded still and only said: I did not get a response.

Would the verb be used correclty?

I hope am correct here!
