Hi,

I have rooted and flashed the masslakoff firmware 1.5 yesterday and there is a strange problem I experience.

O2 simcard does not work in this phone even after I swaped my simcard with a newer one in the UK. Any other UK simcard works fine.

What could be the problem?

I have spoken to the Huawei UK helpdesk and they told me that the problem is about the firmware incompability of G600 in the UK as it was designed for China for now.

Masslakoff!

Do you have any idea on how to solve this?

Steps 1.4 - 1.6 can be replaced by selecting "Settings - Storage - Software Upgrade - SD card Upgrade"

2. Install CWM recovery http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36670308&postcount=483

3. Install custom firmware

3.1 Download custom firmware and copy to your SD card (in root directory)
