This is a device specific question. Not in the WP7 development section please.
Please refer to the read before posting sticky for guidelines.
Take it easy

I'm afraid it's impossible for now...

Hi davec26, im great thanks, yourself? It has been a while lol, iv been an iPhone user for the past half a year, before that I had my last s60 device, the N8, no more s60 for me, so was waiting for nokias WP7 device, and now I love it, great device.
Not sure what will flash this, but im sure phoenix won't do it, its not like s60, im sure the WP7 gurus will find a way.

Fortunately Three didn't do anyof that, nokia blue is still present.
Another route instead of flashing is to be a developer. This is how I got rid of T-Mobile Branding on my Omnia 7 by flashing the Mango Beta. I assume they will release a Tango Beta in the same way to developers and you'll be able to flash that to your phone and have a generic rom.

Thanks for the info, I still have the "Blue" theme unless there's 2 blue colors on the generic Lumis 800 ROM?

Yeah there's blue and Nokia Blue.
AFAIK there's room for 1 custom colour. Nokia have used that space for Nokia Blue but if networks want their colour on the phone the only option they have is to replace Nokia Blue, default colours can't be replaced and they can't add another one.
I suspect that Phoenix will do. At the moment there is no cracked Phoenix, which supports the RM-801, RM-803, RM-809, RM-819. You have to wait and see.
There's a Debranding app I think if you're chevron unlocked. Take a look at that.

There is a discussion in the Lumia Development section about Debranding. There is a version 5 of Nokia Care Suite which is supposed to allow flashing of Lumia but for some reason the software isn't allowing us to...

Nokia Care Suite is a poorer version of the Phoenix. I always used to use Phoenix to such things. It seems to me that the Nokia Care Suite, you can only upload the firmware for the phone Product Code. Otherwise, the program doesn't see the firmware.

Okay fair enough.
Is this version working? (Phoenix Service Software 2011.46.002.47246 Cracked & Original)
No. This version of the Phoenix still doesn't support Nokia Lumia 710/800. We have to wait until January or February and then to be Phoenix, which supports Lumia

So I have the UK version which is the 801, it clearly states 900/1900/2100 UMTS bands. Just wondering if I can get a known firmware version with 850 band support and flash it on the UK version i have. could it possible allow the 850 band to work? Seeing how I dont think nokia would opt to manufacture two different hardware version of the Lumia 800

I'm pretty sure they are literally different hardware models so no I don't think you could flash another type of firmware.

Just curious what is your reasoning for why you believe it's different hardware?
Hello all,
I am planning on getting the Lumia 800, and while its didn't come to my country yet ( I live in the middle-east) I wanna get it online.
I went to amazon and I've found those two:
1- Nokia Lumia 800 16GB, 8MP, 3G, GPS, Mango Unlocked World Mobile Smartphone (Black) for 756$
http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-Lumia-U...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327273568&sr=1-3
2- Nokia Lumia 800 black 16GB -FACTORY UNLOCKED- for 510$
http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-Lumia-b...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327273568&sr=1-1
Can anybody tell me what difference is there between these two? and why is there a large difference between them regarding price? they are both listed as unlocked so I really don't know what the difference is!
Any ideas please? thanks
The difference is that the one priced at $510 is actually selling.
There is no difference between the two. Choose the less expensive.

I agree with the guy above, no difference, go for the cheaper option, based on the reviews, the phone's all good. Sounds like a very good deal at that price.
I have an unlocked Rogers Nokia Lumia 920. Works great and love it! The bad news is that I dropped it and cracked the corner of the screen.
Looking to pick up ATT one for color choices - anyone knows if it supports AWS? Assuming I can eventually get it unlocked.
Eventually being the operative word.
You may want to reconsider unless you plan to use it with AT&T in the mean time, This is looking like another 6 month no exceptions lock.
Personally I just want the cyan Lumia. Damn you Nokia.
Why not buy the ATT version and swap the internals?

I shelled out £640 for a developer edition when the 920s were exclusive to EE in the UK. Now I'm considering selling it, and I would like to know if there's any chance of it being worth any more than a regular 920, maybe due to the true pentaband thing?
If not, I guess I'll have to settle with it or accept the 300 odd depreciation, haha.

Over at Canadagsm.ca I found under Nokia they're selling the unlocked pentaband Lumia 920 for C$399 which isn't bad at all compared to what eBay sellers are asking. What I can't find is what exactly defines the Developer Edition? I am aware it is subsidy unlocked, has all the varying carrier radios in it but is that it? Currently as of this typing I own a HD2 and two Titans which are HSPL and what I really, really enjoy about those phones is my use of the Windows Phone 7.x SDK's Application Deployment which allows me to install programs outside the Marketplace which include Homebrew and 3rd party apps. I find answers that go both ways on this DE and would like to have a more definitive answer in regards to whether it too accepts the Windows Phone 8 SDK's Application Deployment...I realize it might not accept Homebrew apps but do we know what those restrictions are; thanks!
I own a developer edition and never had any problems.

Hello.
I have recently bought a Lumia 920. The network operator is printed as "Sw variant Adriatic CV v511.01". As I am a German, and I bought it in a German shop, I would like to flash it, to become a unbranded 'German' version as I fear updates for this region will appear faster than in the current one. Also I would like to use the newest available OS version. Now here is my real question: What should I do now, and how should I do it? I am very new to the WP8 Nokias, as I only had a HTC WP7 device before. Therefore I am really looking forward to detailed answers to help me
I attached two screenshots with my system information.
Thanks in anticipation,
FlashTek
