Some questions, about updates and unlockings - Nokia Lumia 800

Hello from Spain, most probably there is explained but I can't find exactly what I'm looking (so if you you post a link I won't be mad )
Because I couldn't get the Nokia 800 with my operator and because I couldn't get it without changing company I got a Nokia 800 from a well-known auctions website.
The phone works fine and I thing it's unlocked because it works with my local carrier. But It says that is in 7.10.8107.79 and that the carrier company is Proximus. That's not the last firmware and it also isn't my carrier. Is there any way to free the device os any carrier or to force the update?
As I could see with some googling is that I need to download the firmware with NaviFrim Plus the thing now is that I don't know exactly what model I have, I think that mine is RM-819 (I have 1600.2487.8107.12070 for sure) but now the are tons of Variants, and i don't know which is good.

Dear Kapisketo, u can discover which RM is yours just pulling out the SIM card tray and looking behind it on the sticker.
If u have RM-801 u can follow the thread, i´ve done my self and worked like a charm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737907
If u have RM-819 u can follow the thread,tried my self this in first time and worked like a charm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1733039
Just pay attention in stpes, its not difficult.
Success to u.

PAC Code for my Lumia 800
Hello guys,
Just bought a Lumia 800 from E-Bay, in its original box, for a good price. When I started it, the first picture on the screen was a logo from Bouygues Telecom - France. After I have inserted my SIM into it, it says "Please insert the PAC code. 9 attempts remaining."
I have three questions:
1.What is the PAC code? Is the phone locked on a specific network?(found some explanations on the forums, but I`m still confused)
2. Why do I need to insert the PAC code in order to use this phone?
3. What do I have to do in order to use my phone strictly AS A PHONE?
Thank you in advance (and sorry for my poor english).

Yeap,it;s locked.I've yet to see someone unlock from bouygues france,maybe that's why you bought it at a low price?

hd2 sim unlock

hi all. i will buy tomorrow an hd2 which is locked on vodafone Romania. can you tell me if there is a sim unlock for free? if it's not, which website or "way" is safer to use it for unlocking? also, if you know a cheaper one i don't mind . I need to be unlocked fast (let's say in 1h after i pay, maximum). Thank you very much.
P.S. i've tried to search on hd2 thread but didn't find nothing about this.
that should be possible
search how to preform a HSPL install and how to update ROM
There is no free sim unlock solution , hspl install does not unlock sim .
Contact korter_gsm on ebay
He sent me a code in less than 2 minutes.
ok. i will contact him.
i saw now his posts, but a little problem that i have is that I don't need to unlock T-mobile version, but European version (vodafone romania). do you know any other place?
P.S. does anybody know something about this website?
or about this website?
HI there. Its korter_GSM from Ebay.
Regarding Vodafone Romania HD2 want to tell you. I have all HD2 codes including newest ones with IMEI 038 and 039 in the middle. But as you may already read somewhere, there are some operators that relocked the phones after receiving them from factory. So as we are providing only Factory codes, for some operators it may be wrong. Tmobile USA and many other operators dont have this issue and code for them are 100% correct. For Vodafone Romania i never checked.
for example. For A1 Austria Factory codes are wrong!
If any other question, contact me at Email [email protected]
or MSN [email protected]
i've made it in Romania, with 25 euro. thx all!

[Q] Voda AU branded Unlock - Help Please?

Hi Guys, I know this isn't the right location for this thread, haven't got high enough post count.
I have a Voda Au branded sgs2 with kernal version DUKF2. Tried to unlock with Odia's method, Chainfire app, even spent a few (wasted) bucks on the 123unlock app.
And as expected Voda is dragging their feet to supply a sim unlock code.
Also, my nv_data.bin looks different from some of the others posted in Odia's thread...yes i rooted the phone and got it from /efs/nv_data.bin, copied to sdcrad ..etc.
Is it possible sammy have caught on and changed something?
Any help appreciated. Cheers.
Weird that voda simlocked, my Optus one arrived completely open. I'm sure you've confirmed it's locked before spending any time on this but what does the following code give you for the 4 lock values?:
*#7465625#
Help!
Hey I also have a vodafone sg2... can you help me root it? I understand the procoss but unsure on the firmware to use... any help? Mine is KF2 however its a model I9100T... does it matter can someone give me some help?
I think that Voda are just mean pricks. The Network lock is on and the other 3 (sub, SP, CP) are off.
Unrealtb, I used the latest CF_Root - V4.0 firmware, rooted it, the restored the original DUKF2.

sorry to hassle, can you give me the link to the firmware u flashed and where the original one is to reflash (to get the Yellow ! off).

Cool just rooted my phone!! thanks mate, much appreciated
No worries.
I think I've worked out my problem...
New Hardware Version - MP 1.300
New Radio Version - SP6260_U1_01.1121_DB110525
New Unlock Method
Now just need to wait for a solution.
I just rooted mine now and lashed Villain Rom. Running the SGS2simunlock app now see what it returns. Will let you know results, mine is also from Voda
Hrm... I wonder if it's not working because you possibly have the GT-I9100T and most of the unlocking work was done on the I9100? I remember reading Intra was quite shocked at how much larger the stock firmware for voda was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14838150&postcount=6. Still not entirely sure of what the difference is.
So it seems no unlock code found! i believe Voda's was bigger because they had like 7-8 extra apps installed, plus Voda's came with Navigon preinstalled
I believe Odia is working on a solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133069
We should have a better idea once Telstra release theirs.
Weird thing though, *#2222# shows HW version 1.2, but looking at the .bin file it shows 1.3
Hey sorry for the newb question, what are you trying to are you trying to use the phone ok n other networks? unlock?
Have you tried http://vodafone.com.au/unlock
Thought it's free to unlock vodafone?
No I do not have this handset but thinking about it and going to vodafone, but if it's locked and there's no solution yet, I'll just wait awhile
If people want this done faster, I am currently assisting Odia in getting the new hax.
Please read this post and send me your files.

[Q] help , get out of demo mode

get one from ebay, only 10 quids lower than average price.
now the phone keeps stuck in demo mode .
basically i can not use facebook and i will see the demo flash again and again when charge the phone. also it may ask for resetting sometimes.
how to get rid of it ? the seller answer really slow and now it is chirstmas,
it is very hard to return for a quick refund now.
i was told some of HTC users met the same problem and solve it by renew the rom
anyone know where can i get one for nokia ?
any answer will help
thankyou and merry chirstmas
Try to flash an original rom into it
The Demo's are only put on there via Nokia themselves as there is no way to flash the software yourself, i know this because i deal with demo handsets, chances are you have a stolen handset my friend, as far as a i know there is no way to remove the demo content as it would be easily removed by customers in the shop, even if you do manage to find the demo content, you may even be prompted to enter an operator password, maybe not!?
See if theres an update for your phone, or try to find a task manager where you can switch off apps, but i'm guessing you won't be able to remove it and the update may even leave the demo content intact, i would personally speak with the seller if they're not co-operative then i would leave feedback reflecting that and maybe even speak with nokia themselves, being the good eggs that they are they may just give you a new one.
Alternatively you could brick the device and send it back to nokia claiming that it's a dead handset, you may / will need proof of purchase so again, speak with the seller and see what can be done, but if it's a hot handset then i'm afraid your **** out of luck on that one.
You may not need a receipt so maybe speak with an engineer first to see what can be done, it's a young phone so should theoretically be covered by some sort of warranty, worst case scenario is that it is stolen and nokia know about the phone, you send it off, they check on it and they retain it and your out of pocket.
Best case scenario, you speak with nokia, they exchange it for a new one, but i guess you'll have to take a risk to find that out.
Good luck m8.
Hi there , I've got the exact same problem since a few days. (new phone, bought on ebay , nothing but demo-mode even after the 3 button reset)
But I found this after several hours of searching...
It's all legal and all the programs are freeware.
Needed:
The flashprogram 90Mb : phoenixslayer.blogspot,com
The original OEM ROM Nokia Firmware Downloader : code.google,com/p/navifirmex/
in this Nokia Firmware Downloader: select option and choose server , then "Nokia Care Suit"
The Nokia Lumia 800 is found under the code name: RM-801 and there are 3 firmware releases.
'
The latest Nokia Lumia 800 version at this very moment is : 1600.2479.7740.11451
This also can be found in the list of Navifermex.
Select your country and download your OEM firmware automatically.
Note: it's large.. app. 435 Mb.
I haven't flashed my Lumia yet because , it's in the store for research. ( maybe it's a stolen phone or defective. this way I can nail the german seller , with help from ebay and paypal )
But hopefully I can help some people with their Demo Content Nokai Lumia 800 problem.
Good luck and hope to succeed.
Greeting from the Netherlands.

To remove the demo content you have to flash your device with a ROM from a device that has no demo content in it. You can use official Nokia ROMs (you get them with the NaviFirm program) or the unofficial ones that are posted around this forum (as I'm pretty noob on this, I went with the official ones)
Check my link above, where I describe the steps to do it, and provide an additional link to a step-by-step guide to download the ROMs with NaviFirm and flash with Nokia Care Suite.
Good luck!

[Q] is it possible to flash a german vodafone branded 920 with a stock rom?

I have the chance to get a vodafone branded lumia 920 very cheap but i have a few questions before i´ll accept the offer and i hope someone can help me out:
1. does anybody here have a clue about what the branding is actually like? boot up logo? some custom apps?
2. is there any chance (and if so: how) to flash a/the generic unbranded rom on it to get rid of everything that might be on it?
would be great if someone could give me a headsup on this one!

I have a lumia 920 branded on vodafone germany and it's locked , and can't seem to unlock it.
Contract phones aren't locked in Germany.
059Q8M3 is the product code for the black variant - you can use any simcard you want to use with it.
Please check your product code.
ok asume is true

What code is it asking for?
anyway,
NOKIA LUMIA 800 : Existing device hardware version/s: RM-801 ("global") & RM-819 (Latin Americas) >>> If you are from Vietnam, you should use RM-801.
If you have used wrong firmware variant don't worry, follow case 1
Case 1: If it is asking for a 25-digit code, broken down to 5 boxes, it is easy to get it. You can obtain it from Microsoft HERE
Case 2:
Install Nokia Care Suit.
Connect your phone to PC and launch the NCS.
Check the phone details there. You should get the variant code as well.
Use this variant; this should work fine.​
Case 3: If your phone is carrier locked, use NSS PRO to unlock SIM.1. Connect Phone to PC.
2. Start NSS PRO and use SIMLOCKS > WP7 > UNLOCK
This should do the trick, and you can use any SIM on your LUMIA phone.​
hi, sorry im new in WP... is possible flash wp.78 RM 801 to a nokia RM 819? thx

There are articles for sim unlok why don`t you try there. It could help
