Question: Updating through Zune and CV firmware. - Nokia Lumia 800

Hi, I'd like to thank everyone for their patience. I'm coming from iOS and am trying to learn here. If I flash the Lumia 800 with a Country Variant firmware to "debrand" the phone, what happens when future updates arrive? Will Zune try and install the original branded firmware from the carrier? Or does it pull the unbranded version for any future updates?

[Q] Lumia 800 11500 Firmware update in USA

Now that the device is officially available in the USA, let us see if US handsets will get the 11500 firmware update.
As of posting Nokia US support page says no update for this device. The same page for all other countries shows the details of the update. Did anyone in the USA get the update? Forcing isn't working

lumia 800 12700 firmware when ?

im on 3 uk does any 1 no when the lumia 12700 firmware update will arrive is it pushed out by nokia or will it be 3 uk ?
It's rolling out as we speak. You might still have to wait a few days, since some devices get the update later than others.
What about Germany? Has anyone with a german lumia received the update?

or you can do it yourself if you install NaviFirm and use the refresh option to get the latest list.
My Lumia 800 has just been updated to the latest 12700 firmware, via Zune
(I bought the phone, unlocked from Carphone Warehouse, and I'm on the Giff Gaff network in the UK)
just plugged mine into zune getting update now so may be worthwhile checking if u have not received it yet.

I have an unbranded device and did not get the update until now.
If i updated my phone with CAB sender to get the latest firmware earlier. Will zune still try to update my phone? Or should i rollback to a backup i made and then get the official update for my area?

I doubt that you'll receive the update again, since the published version should be the same as the new firmware. However you can try to reset, but I wouldn't say that you'll gain an advantage...

Rollback to the backup, then you'll receive the update, as you've updated with cab sender, Zune would think it's updated. The update will arrive in the next few days if it hasn't today. So be ptient.

Thanks for the reply
I've already checked that list but since I couldn't find a german update I just wanted to ask around to see if i missed something.
I'm not at home now which makes it impossible to install navifirm... besides i want to install the update through zune.

I'm on three in the UK and I haven't got it yet, I seem to be a few updates behind anyway so I think I have a dodgy phone

So, has anyone with a german lumia received the update or is it still unavailable? (T-Mobile)

[Q] Lumia 800 Singapore Set Can't Update to 8773

mine lumia 800 cyan singapore set but i'm in malaysia..how to update to the latest version?
Carrier: SG SW variat ID381 v.01 (what is this means?)
OS Version: 7.10.7740.16
Firmware Revision Number: 1600.2479.7740.11451
sorry for the noob question..still new to Lumia 800
And the Zune Stated there mine is up to date..but it is not..anyone can help me? please.
sorry for my bad english.
The Malaysian updates seem to be out, but it seems like you will have to wait for the Singapore Country Variant to be approved:
http://www.nokia.com/global/support...lability-for-nokia-lumia-phones-in-singapore/
is it because the country variant is still in waiting approval list?
I assume so. I have the country variant and I am still waiting but my friend on Singtel has been able to update.
so i assume just wait for the update and try to update use Zune again.
As HalfManHalfMachine said, the update has not yet been released for most Singaporean phones (only Singtel branded phones have had it until now).
Using the link he provided, you need to check for your specific phone model. You will find the "product code" on the back of the SIM tray on your Nokia 800.
Once Nokia has released the update, it might still take some time until it become available to you, as Microsoft is "throttling" the updates - they will only allow a certain number of randomly chosen phones to update every day to avoid overloading the infrastructure and also to stop the deployment if something went wrong.
Apparently, the Zune client only checks for updates every 24 hours, so there could be another delay.
In summary, update could become available anytime from now until end of July.
There are a couple of ways of forcing the update now, but I would not recommend doing so as there have been quite a few reports of failures and issues.
Like you, I am waiting and not very happy about the process and the lack of control it gives us.
Hi payat7,
I've updated my Singapore Country Variant Lumia 800 using the cab sender method. It worked just fine. Do give it a try.

Unbranded AUS and Telstra Portico AVAILABLE

Just checked Navifirm, the unbranded AUS and Telstra Portico ROM's are now available for download!!!
GO GET EM!!!
which benefits in what way??
What are the difference's between unbranded and branded beside's the boot splash screen and telstra apps?
On the unbranded AUS can you still achieve Telstra 4G?
My phone was imported from France, just curious.
Edit:
Nevermind just read your response in another topic
Edit 2:
Works perfectly, testing out camera. Trying not to think tooo highly of it, so I don't feel let down
Would you be able to upload the unbranded AUS ROM somewhere or point me at where I can still download it from now that Navifirm doesn't list it anymore?
I reflashed my Telstra branded phone to a Singapore variant due to problems trying to get a Vodafone SIM to function in a stable manner and although it seems to have fixed most of the problems I'm guessing an Australian ROM would be better seeing as it's running on Australian networks.
Many thanks

Quick firmware question.

I got my wife a E2306 (16bg) for Christmas. I charged it, updated the firmware then put in her Tmo (USA) sim card. It says the firmware is up to date but she's only on A.2.99 and from what I've read on this forum and the Sony site, she should be on A.2.167. Do you know if this is due to being in the U.S. or something else? Do I just have to flash the latest firmware to it? Not looking to ROM or root her phone. It's an unlocked model so it shouldn't have to do with my carrier. Especially since I updated prior to putting in the SIM for the first time.
In USA, the latest available firmware is 2.99, so your phone is up to date. You could flash a firmware from another country if you'd like to have a 2.167 version. Use Xperiafirm to check the available versions from the diferent countries for your model.
Thank you!
