I have a problem regarding the update of my lumia 800. I bought via ebay a lumia 800 from germany but know i am using it in portugal with vodafone. The phone i think is unlocked but is branded to vodafone germany as the product code is the one from germany as it i can see in the nokia webpage support. There i can see that there is an update available for my device "059L701" but via zune its just says that my device as already the latest firmware. Currently i have the 12070 firmware and i don´t know why it won´t update. Can it be because i am using vodafone portugal as carrier and not vodafone germany? And how do i know if the phone is factory unlocked or was unlocked by some sort of firmware?
I have an unlocked United Kingdom Variant phone I am using in the USA on T-Mobile, so similar issue.
Try the disconnect trick on Zune, but make sure both your Cell data and Wifi are both turned OFF, or it won't work.
why you dont flash with NSS
i´m portuguese to and i dont receive update to
but i´m download FW from United Kingdom Variant TANGO

Hello,
Currently I have an imported unlocked phone from France 1232.2109.1242.1001 and I was wondering if there is any downside to flashing a different region rom from 1232.5951.1249.100*.
Do they allow english and support the sim unlock?
I live in Australia and I'm on Telstra, but I really don't mind losing the 4G capability for an updated rom. Since 4G isn't really supported everywhere and is a battery killer. My phone is a rm-821 model
Should I just bite the bullet and flash stock AUS rom and wait? Or will the new roms work?
Thanks

I personally flashed the latest unbranded AUS ROM over my 920 and Im going to stick with that ROM gets updated on Navifirm or released OTA.
The only ROM's available with the latest update seems to be some North African carriers, Belgium, O2 (Europe) and Orange (Europe) plus the American model RM-820 which wont work on our handsets. I would wait if I were you. Im not sure if there will be any problems with selecting a different carrier unless it stops certain frequencies from working that Telstra require.. eg. 850MHz for 3G/H+ and 1800MHz for LTE/4G. I doubt that would be an issue though.
If you do flash a new one, can you keep us updated on how well the ROM works?
Hello,
I am from Portugal and because I am an early adopter I bought my unbranded nokia Lumia 920 in Clove UK. But now, all portuguese Lumias have 4G enabled in my network (TMN) and I have not. The highest option in definitions is 3G.
Can you please help me on what ROM I should flash unbranded with 4G enabled? I don't understand very much of the ROM names. I have RM-821_eu_euro1_276, with Operator Name 000-GB and configuration ID 118847 (what is this?). I have Portico 1232.5951.1249.1004.
If I flash a ROM will it stop future updates?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Joao
I have just written up a tutorial, which should help you flash a different ROM on the device.

so, i bought lumia 800 (SIM free in UK) and used it on lyca mobile.
when i returned to india, when i installed airtel/vodafone it is not allowing.
i went to nokia store and they are asking me which carrier it belongs to..
is there a way to find out?
Carrier: CV GB SW ID222 V08
Update:
After some googling... i found out that my phone is "Unbranded and Unlocked", GB version phone
my doubt is can i use it in India?
So I bought a Lumia 800 of someone and it's supposed to be unlocked. Unfortunately he packed the box by wrapping it in tape so the bar-code sticker is unreadable. My simcard gives the error "This Simcard can only be used on a specific network. Contact your Customer Service centre for the unlock code". But the problem is that under phone information the carrier/privder being listed is "Norway SW VariantID 430 v.05". It doesn't list a carrier but only a country as you can see. What does this mean?
i had the same problem

or search for a little phone's repair shop in your city/town, which have ATF flasher box. With that box, you can sim-unlock your Lumia 800
I bought a Lumia 920 about a week ago but its from the ukraine (im from germany) and its running 8.0.10211.204. i cant update it from the phone and there doesnt seem to be a newer version available on nokia care suite. is it still possible to update it? will i have trouble getting updates later for it, like blue? should i return it and get a german version instead?
its unlocked and its carrier is "Sw variant Adriatic CV v511.01"
