Hi guys i know this is the 800 section but i thought would put it here until its moved by admin
Tools needed
Nokia Care Suite 5.0.0 (2011.51.2) http://www.seidea.com/2011/12/28/nokia-care-suite-5-0-2011-51-2-63048/
NaviFirm Plus - http://www.symbian-toys.com/navifirm.aspx
Once you have installed Nokia care suite, install the drivers package for your version of windows - Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers WinUSB Drivers x86 or x64
Download the Firmware needed from Navifirm should be about 12 files.
1. Launch Nokia Care Suite and open Product Support Tool.
2. Disconnect all phones from the computer and Turn the phone off
3. Select No connection from the connection drop-down menu.
4. From File menu select Open Product.
5. Search for 710 and click Open. RM-803
6. Now connect the phone with it tunred off, it will restart and be detected by the care suite
With the files you downloaded from Navifirm put them in
C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\ create a folder called Rm-803 if its not there
Now you need to rename the product codes of .dcp / .bin / vpl files to match your device code found on the right of nokia care suite product support tool.
Now the files are in place click programming from the tool bar and select refurbish.
Job Done.
I hold no responsibility if you screw your phone up.
Nicely done. It might be worth including product codes for unbranded models in the guide, would help people pick the right thing from the huge list in Navifirm.
I would be there all day as each country has Black and white devices.
You need to pick the firmware with Country Variant, The country you are in and what colour phone you have. There is no Country Variant for the UK yet with the latest 1600.3013.8107.11502 package in NaviFirm but you can download the older version 1600.3007.7740.11465
UK Black Product code 059N2L6
Germany Black Product code 059M5M0
France Black Product code 059N519
Italy Black Product code 059N0V8
Netherlands Black Product code 059N1Q9
Spain Black Product code 059N1M7
Fair enough, that would take a while, although I suspect no-one is going to care if they flash their phone with black or white variant, what difference can it make anyway?
I don't think it makes any difference, maybe Nokia have put some different themes in to match the colour of the phone.
There's no country variant for Canada. What happens if I flash the phone with a with say a UK firmware?
sutt359, are you sure the latest package is 1600.3013.8107.11505? Mine shows 1600.3013.8107.11502.
It will work fine with UK software. You might find you're missing something Canadian centric, though.
Canadian centric things, eh? I wonder what UK centric things I would find if I flashed with UK software.
Hi, im still kinda green to this whole thing (especially to wp7) and do not know how the thanks meter works, I do want to give thanks to sutt359 for this info. I think it will come in handy

Not a lot, I can't think of anything on my phone. Possibly it's language config?
Anyone tried this yet?
My phone is on o2 UK but is branded Three. It's only the boot logo though, they've not messed about with anything else so I'm not too bothered.

I wouldnt risk flashing a UK version as the radios will be different and may brick the phone. Infact i cant see any US/Canadian roms.
Do you know what bands your network works on? Could you let me know your raido software and hardware versions from about phone.

If you wanted to you could brand it to o2, 1600.3013.8107.11502 using code 059N3C2.
If you want the debrand uk firmware then you will have to use 1600.3007.7740.11465 code 059N2L6. If you use that when the new firmware is out from nokia it will be pushed via zune.

Didn't realize there was a second page in this thread, lol.
Yeah whats up with the lack of North American roms. And you're right; on second thought, I probably shouldn't flash with non-North American roms. Just in case.
EDIT: I saw some people on here importing the 800 from online UK stores and using it in Canada a couple weeks ago. Oh well, I'll wait for bit.

You can flash any ROM you want. You won't brick the phone.
I'm on an imported UK Cyan Lumia 800. Several of us have been waiting for the North American ROM to see if it would free up the 850 3G band. I flashed both Black and Magenta ROMs for RM-819 and it didn't change affect the radios.
It's hard to brick a Nokia when you're just flashing other ROMs of the same model#.
This is probably an incredibly stupid question, so apologies in advance, but does this also sim unlock it?
It will not.

Hello everyone,
I've been an android user for a year and a half now, but after getting a grip of a WP device I am surely making the switch, and the Titan has caught my eyes from the first sight!
I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice regarding where to get the phone from and what version should I get?
I live in the Middle-East and the phone is currently unavailable here but I want to get it from the internet, there are many versions of the Titan and I am not quite sure which one should I buy!
Here are the options I got and I don't know which one I should go with:
1- The AT&T version: I've read that the AT&T version had some problems regarding voice quality but its the cheapest among them all (around 500$ and I need to unlock it of course).
2- The international version -don't know what's it called really- factory unlocked on amazon for 675$.
3- The UK version on ebay for 600$, factory unlocked.
Considering the fact that I am kinda a noob regarding these stuff, I would like to hear your suggestions, what difference is there between all these three and what should I get for someone living on the other side of the world, also would like to know what the UK version differs from the others.
and is there a chance that the phone won't work with my carrier, what info should I ask them for and check before buying the device ?
thanks a lot for your time, any help is much appreciated
ATT is slow to release updates so I would recommend an international unlocked. You are gonna love the big screen and all the iPhones will be jealous saying it's too big. That's when I set my titan on top of theirs and say Iphone? I see no stinkin iPhone

I see, so that is a disadvantage for the AT&T version.
Umm, ok what about the UK version, what's wrong with it more like what is the difference between it and the international one?

had an iclone user pick mine up the other day and pretend it was a riot shield. "it's just sooooo big!" wait until the iclone 5 has a bigger screen, suddenly this form factor will become "magical." &^%$ers!
The AT&T one will *never* tether on any network other than AT&T. Not sure about the UK one.
You might want to investigate whether the int'l unlocked one can.
If it were me I'd get the int'l unlocked one, *unless* I specifically needed a UMTS band that that one does not offer.

since you own the UK version, may I ask you what differ is there between it and the international version ? (the UK version is cheaper by 75$) but I don't know if it'll work as I live in the middle-east and I don't know what to ask my carrier for to know?
thanks
I am not entirely sure about international version. But I think it probably not much difference hardware wise for sure. Since certain features of OS are limited to certain countries ir might be the case. E.g. Bing features, tell me services etc. It might be helpful if I say that even in UK version the radio is set to International.

ok that's great to know, features like Tell Me and others aren't that important to me and honestly it'll help me get a British accent, hehe
but the most important thing that there isn't any big changes, stuff like the market won't work or these kind of things, right?

Do a search though. In some countries Market won't have certain apps. The market ideally should work in all countries but some have lesser apps than others e.g. we don't have the Netflix app in the UK. Check out what Market looks like for your specific country. Unlikely you will have all the apps. It's more to do with MS sorting out the legalities etc for each country gradually..
iFan has their own bias, so i won't talk about it here.
AT&T Version always slow in the Update since AT&T have to test it and do whatever they want to the update before it can be published.
I have the X310e version from UK, unlocked and totally happy with it.
And with the international version, you have the "HTC" agent color, which is removed on the AT&T Titan.

HTC agent colour is also present in the UK version. So does this mean only the ATT doesn't have it? or is UK and international one the same thing?
The Apps in the market will be dependent on the Country given in your Live-Account. This can't be changed afterwards, so if you use an US-Account and someday Microsoft extends their Market to your country you're either stuck with the US Account (don't know if it will accept a Non-US-Creditcard - it doesn't accept european cards for US-Accounts as far as I remember) or you lose the Apps which are bound onto your US-Account and create a new one.
So those things will most likely have to be sorted out firt. The HTC-Titan as far as I know supports the same 3G Bands in all it's variants which makes it usable on pretty much any UMTS Network worldwide with only a few exceptions. The exact supported bands can be seen on the HTC Titans product page on htc.com
The UK version as far as I know is hardwarewise exactly the same as the international one, only difference might be in what UI languages are available (all keyboard languages are present since the Mango Update anyway although Middle-Eastern-Language support is currently expected to arrive with the Tango-Update - meaning it's not available yet).
Hope this helps and provides you with a rough idea of what troubles can arise.

The USA version is 850/1900/2100.
The UK version is 850/900/2100. The international version is probably the same as that one, but not sure.
The OP probably only needs 2100, so any of them will probably be just fine.
Now if we could only get a variant with AWS...

AT&T has a choice what to do with the ROM for their Phone. and they choose to remove the Agent Color HTC. I have heard it from multiple sources.
All others versions has the HTC Agent color.

okay , let's say I get the UK unlocked version and use it in my country "Jordan" , I don't know where I read it , but as it seems every phone is region locked , and if I get a UK phone for instance I won't be able to get an update to my language for example (which is Arabic) .. is that correct ?
I don't know, its safer to get the international version even tho it's a 100 bucks more expensive , but I thought about asking you guys cause I don't know a lot about these stuff.
Thanks

I changed the country my live account was associated with. It's a bit hard but you can do it. There is a how-to online if you search for it.
Late, but finally update 12070 has arrived on the Lumia 800 for Orange/T-Mobile users, so start updating and if you're on the Singapore FW, I suggest you recover from backup and update.
Stupid Orange/T-Mobile, always late.
Still no update
Still no update for me
I have an unbranded Lumia 800 cyan from Phones4U on Orange but no update available in Zune despite Nokia Europe saying that it's available for my model (059M539 Country Variant). I swapped my Orange sim for a Vodafone sim to see if that did anything. . . nothing. recovered a backup in Zune and updated the OS again, but still no Firmware update to 12070.
If it doesn't come soon I'll take it to Nokia Care next time we're in Glasgow as this battery life is terrible (although seemed slightly better on the Vodafone sim!)
I didn't really want to start looking at the other methods I've seen of updating Just wanted to get it officially in Zune!
On searching the issue, I've seen a lot of users of 059M539 code have also not been getting the upgrade.
Same here, same model nr. Cyan Lumia from Phones4U, Orange Sim, also from Glasgow.
Oddly enough I have the latest OS version, just not the latest firmware version. Now that the volume bug is fixed I'm tempted to force a flash bypassing Zune.

Cyan models are delayed for some reason, but it should have arrived by now. Get in contact with Phones4U, see if they have any dates, since it is a batch of theirs.
Got sick of waiting so I used the update tool
Initial findings, it has improved the battery, can easily get a full day even with quite a lot of use!

I've never heard of retailers blocking updates before? However, it does seem possible as I'm seeing several reports of that specific product no not updating. Note that Nokia specifically lists it as having an update available since pretty much day 1 of the firmware being made public. I've posted a query on P4U's forum. Should have known better than to buy from those muppets, but they were the only ones at the time that had the cyans. Someone I know wants the white Lumia 710, but it's another P4U exclusive
mlaidlaw, did you update directly to 12072 with the volume bug fix, or still 12070?

Yep, I mocking how the blue plastic makes my phone somehow ineligible for software updates.
On a more serious query, does having an Orange Sim in my unbranded model phone mean that Orange still has to approve my firmware versions? I'd assume that Carriers only have a say over their branded variants?
I'm still baffled how a specific subset of a particular product code (a product code that has had the upgrade available from the day of announcement according to the Nokia sit) is being left behind? Apple really does get some things right, not letting the Carriers dictate software updates.

No, if you have unbranded you can get the updates for unbranded devices
Yes, Nokia pushed the update, but Orange (one step further) blocked it again It's possible... Unfortunately.
HTC 8x has started getting updates of the new OS. Any news on when Lumia phones will get the update?
No news, but I assume quite fast for unlocked phones. Rest are subject to carriers I assume.

Bypass carriers, yes. Bypass OEMs, no
This should mean that we get a 920 update for each "build" of the 920 that exists, once Nokia does whatever they do to it. They should have it from Microsoft (one would think) already.

They will have it already, and it's in Nokia's interests to get it out fast and ideally beat HTC to the punch every time, as HTC have been set up as Premier Partners. Nokia want to be THE choice for WP8 buyers, so they need to be there first with the best reputation for updates and excellent hardware.
Nokia obviously has that build available because the Lumia 920T (the chinese variant) is already running that newer build of the OS.
true, must just be waiting for the rollout ok from carriers. I'll check my 8X to see if that's updating on EE, that way we should know if the carriers are slowing things down or not with a quick carrier vs unlocked update speed comparison.
(Groan) I hope it's not the carriers. Pulling teeth with oily fingers is easier than persuading AT&T to release updates in a timely manner. :\

Adding to that, does 4G still work on the generic UK ROM, as EE has 4G specific software bits, e.g. the 3G/2G toggle is now the 4G/3G toggle.
So, since I have a Rogers branded but unlocked phone and running it on Telus, what bucket would I be put in? Would I get the generic updates or the Rogers? My phone STILL says that the Mobile Operator Name is ROG-CA, so I'm not too sure what to make of my situation.

You will be under the mercy of Rogers. In order to get out of Roger's grip, you will need to be de-branded. SIM unlock means nothing. In the old days of WM7.0, you can jailbreak your phone and edit a registry to de-brand. Now, you pretty much have to flash a unbranded ROM to do it.

Well it doesn't have the name of a mobile network in the filename. I went from one with EE and UK in the filename to one which just says CV GB.
Hello guys,
Just managed to get my UK EE Lumia 920 unlocked.
What firmware must I download to 'debrand' my phone?
i.e what firmware do EU/UK Unlocked Lumia 920 use? and what is the latest version? Thanks
I just had mine too. would love to debrand it. my firmware is rm-821_eu_euro1_342. i'm guessing this is EE firmware?
I too have an unlocked Nokia Lumia 920 bought on Orange PAYG. My phone doesn't appear to be 'branded' as such - there are just a few references to EE if you dig deep enough and the IE homepage is set to the EE site. It's not like the old days when Orange would brand the device right, left and centre including physical logos on the body of the phone.
Is it worth flashing it when the branding is not evident in normal use? What would you gain from this?
I'm also wondering if we'll get the Nokia updates sooner with the phone linked to a carrier - I heard rumours that the unlocked Nokias will be updated last of all.

I de-branded mine and to be honest I don't see any difference either, I am even considering going back to the EE rom.
I think all the Nokias will be updated at the same time, RM-820 has been updated, and once all the roms are on Navifirm the RM-821 will go live, but the CV GB rom did appear on NaviFirm before the EE one, but only by about a week.
I've been thinking of putting the oem ? rom on mine...
thought updates might be quicker in future, also, i've noticed i can't set 2g as max speed and i've read some people can set it to 2g in mobile settings, not often I used it but if i need the phone to last as long as possible I would always set my last phone to 2g as the battery life increased like crazy
quick question..
where did you guys get yor phones unlocked from?
i have a tmob uk 920 and im travelling and would like to get it
unlocked to use overseas for a few weeks
suggestions?

RM_820 has not been updated if you are on AT&T. In fact we most likely won't see that update till after the exclusivity contract ends just becuase that is the way AT&T is. As for debranding in general, it really makes no difference other than maybe gets rid of some of the provider specific apps. There is no change to the phone function or behavior otherwise.
my tmobile phone is CVGB phone but beware that CVGB roms don't have 4g yet
I currently have a Lumia 710 (Orange UK) which I use with Virgin UK. However, I have just made the plunge to buy a Lumia 620 which comes locked on o2 UK.
Is there a way to unlock the Lumia 620 like there is the 710/800? i.e. flash a bootloader and install a custom ROM?
or should I resort to changing contracts to o2/Tesco/GiffGaff?
Thank you all for any help/advice you can give me! :highfive:
The model number of the phone (RM-846) isn't showing up on Nokia Care Suite. I guess firmware isn't available yet then!

They show up for me today. Only I don't know which one to pick, there are hundreds of variants. Any ideas for the most generic one valid on UK networks?
Hi,
No any way to unlock Lumia 610 now...
About firmware - pick one that matches to your phone's Product Code.
BTW, if you want to change the boot-loader to OSBL QUALCOMM - use ATF Flasher
it can change boot-loaders via TP. =)

Thats great. I'll take a look later today. Might flash a generic firmware to get rid of the o2 Branding.
so is it possible to sim unlock this device? i bought one but i havent opened it yet in case i cant unlock it.
I picked up the Lumia 620 on the O2 deal to play around with and requested an unlock code which O2 have sent me so can use other SIM's now and tested it with an Orange SIM.
It didn't cost me anything to get it unlocked as I am an iPhone pay monthly customer already.
The problem now is the branding. I downloaded the Nokia Care Suite and flashed the generic firmware which put it to stock but it mentioned something about the product code not being specified however it all worked fine but unsure how it would effect updates in the future.
The product code is 059R788 which looking at the firmware matches the O2 branded one so will future updates still have to wait for O2 if they are based on product codes?
For now I flashed it back to the O2 firmware using the Nokia Care Suite as there are not any updates available to check.
Cheers!

Are you able to advise how you got O2 to unlock your PAYG Lumia 620 as I asked over chat last night and they wouldn't have any of it...even though I told the I (well my wife) has an O2 iPhone contract...!?!? Their policy is based on the phone being owned for 12-months or more before being unlocked, not the PAYG SIM or Pay Monthly contract...
I threatened them with leaving and referenced the fact Vodafone would do it at any time on PAGY for £20...!!!
They've told me to ring support on 4445 directly to discuss...
Any thoughts?
Judging by the comments above, the 620 cannot yet be unlocked via firmware?

I've now re-requested an unlock code from O2 without the mention of PAYG...so I'll update you after the 7 days it takes to come through...
Fingers crossed...!!
