same crazy sim issue with 3.1 (sd update with original recovery, just rooted): it works just in airplane mode or without sim cards (Italy, H3G and Tim, tried in 4g, 3g and even gsm only).
The screen blinks and the phone comes hot. Flashed back "old" 3.0 rom.

Hello,

as formerly already mentioned I'm a "lucky guy" having my D6k upgraded without a problem... I was re-thinking what I did before upgrading as I still had V2.7 on the device. Well, like I said, I was curios what the OTA (V2.7->V3.0) would do to my phone (root, Permanent TWPR). After download, and rebooting it comes back in recovery mode... I wiped and booted and the OTA installed! It showed the intitial "greeting display", just like setting up a brand new phone, selected "English" and went through pages one by one, got stuck at "setting WiFi" connection (got connected, indicated by phone), but the "set up" did not proceed (telling me "no internet connection")... after few reboots, same, reboot without SIM cards it went further into start page, but behaved weird and crazy like many people here alrady reported... no matter SIM or not (flashing screen with SIM). In my understanding, there must be a problem which exsists already since before V3.1!

So, I restored V2.7 through nandroid backup via TWPR, everything fine. Copied SD ROMs of V3.0 and V3.1 to my phone and installed/wiped/rebooted one by one without a real flaw (takes some time after last reboot).

Now here is the only thing came to my mind which is "somehow" related to non-local Chinese set up and requires access to many things while Chinese authorities require local manufacturers to restrict this service... my Google playstore was gone... I don't really know if this is normal or has be done every time a "major" upgrade should be installed... I ended up with having V3.1 working just fine (like discussed with "@robbyx" before, I had to manually change the preference of 2G/3G/4G of each Sim card after swopping slots, but just for once; after that I could move it around just as I wanted), but without Google playstore....

I don't really know if this has any relation to the upgrade problem discussed here by many people or if it makes any sense what I wrote, but it would be interesting to know if this could work if upgrading to V3.1 happens to be OK when Google playstore was fully removed prior to upgrade... I re-flashed "pico Gapps" after everything else turned out to be functional (SIMs, Wlan, system, Apps), works perfectly (in my case, only through VPN, big CN brother is very restrictive lately, also starting to probe VPN and distort now)... else, I had to re-install Xposed framework, but no idea this is because ROM update or new version (V79->V80)...

I don't really don't remember WHEN I lost that playstore (OTA "testing", restoring nand, upgrading V2.7->V3.0 or V3.0 to V3.1), did not pay any attention to it. So, anyone would like to try out if this has any influence on update to V3.1? As said before, I really don't know if this makes any sense what I wrote (while an "upgrade" shouldn't effect any installed App if still with the same OS), I just was trying to review what happened while I was doing trial and error...

Anyway, don't forget to have your Nandroid backup before trying on V3.1 again.

Have a nice day!

Quote:1. could you write in one or two sentences what you think the "fix" for the SIM problem is?

Quote:...would be interesting to now if somebody else have this error.
Okay the back up is complete (without aboot though).
I'll try some stuff and will be right back

Innos D6K is a nice piece of hardware receiving unfortunately constant buggy software releases.

May be the build-Version is the bad guy. Mine is V2.3_abroad and if i remember right your's is higher.
