[Q] Lumia 920 &F - Nokia Lumia 920

Greetings,
I got a first production line Lumia 920 (PRTP) loaded with ATT stuff. I want to know if I can flash it with another Firmware (it comes with a rm820 and want to switch to rm821). I have tried done with both RMs trying to move to the most recent OS version. But it does not allow me to do it as it gives me errors with both of them. What's next on the list to try?

[Q] How to Flash a ROM onto the 920?

Nokia Care Suite shows the 920 as a unsupported device.
You can download the firmware form RM-821 from Navifirm.
It also shows up on NCS but when I try to download it I get an error. None of the variants will download.
So, at the moment I am happily downloading the firmware variant for Telstra from Navifirm.
Once I get finish, does anyone know how to flash it?
I have a Rogers Lumia 920, which I stechnically RM-820, but neither Navifirm nor NCS have anything for RM-820.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
Want to know too
Hi,
I have the same question, I want to get it from Rogers but I want to flash it to a "vanilla" version from Nokia.
What I'm not sure is the Navifirm will have it, since its a none Symbian device.. Not sure "Phoenix tools for Nokia devices" will work either...
I would love to know that one too
Thank you.
CRAP!
Well, I can confirm that downloading a RM-821 to the Lumia 920 from Rogers (RM-820) will NOT work!
I tried, it looked like it was starting, asked me to confirm that I wanted to flash the ROM even though it was for a different product code. I said yes, it started., then BAMN. Got an error saying it was the wrong product. Now my 920 will not boot. It just stays at NOKIA. I have tried a soft and hard reset, many times, nothing. I think I am screwed until a RM-820 variation ROM is released. :crying:
Forgot to mention
There was an update for Nokia Care Suite which I downloaded and installed and it now detects the 920.

Hope you won't have to wait for too long for that RM-821 firmware to be available for download.
But I'm glad to hear that there is a version of Nokia Care Tools that can be used to flash the 920 and especially that it seems to allow flashing of firmware for a different product code no problem. I was assuming that we would have to do some renaming of files like it was necessary to flash firmware for a different product code to the Lumia 800.
I think this means that I should be able to flash my RM-821 CV Germany Lumia 920 that I'll receive in the next view days to some non-EU CV Rm-821 firmware no problem?
I think once I receive my Lumia I'll try to flash it to the CV Switzerland and hope that this will remove that stupid EU imposed volume cap that I'm pretty sure the Germany CV will have.

The new version of Product Support Tool for Store 5.0 that recognizes the 920 is 2012.44.5.3
However, there are no RM-820 roms right now.
Is it possible to extract/backup the rom from a working device?

I guess he probably downloaded the latest version from here http://www.seidea.com/category/nokia-care-suite/ and then used the Programs built-in auto-update feature to update it to the latest one.
Why take the risk and flash since the device is unlocked and you can get the US marketplace in a simple workaround?

Its not the locked thing, its the splash logo of ATT or Rogers that will drive me crazy.... its more the branding than the lock thing.
Although, I prefer it will be unlocked and unbranded, it might take a while till we see it around, I can't wait that long

Which variant of the ROM did you flash? Switzerland, Sweden, etc...?
Is there a way to change some files to modify the product code of your device before flashing?

Are you referencing to me? If so as I said I want to flash my Lumia to a non-EU firmware to get rid of that stupid EU imposed volume capping.

Because it's not the US marketplace I am interested in. It's getting tethering to work.
Of course in hindsight, I should have waited until there were RM-820 ROMs available :|
Thankfully I still have my Lumia 900 with MMS and tethering working.

Australia. Not sure, however it's too late for me to change file names on the phone.
I tried changing the .vpl file to say RM-820 instead of 821 but then I got an error about the signature being invalid
I am hopeful that when AT&T releases their phones on Friday then RM-820 ROMs will be available.
Hi!
I would like to know if a EU ROM flash Will be enough to make the hardware available to reach the LTE 800 and 2600 frequencies instead of a US ROM That reach 700 and 2100. In France, the LTE (4G) is for the 800 and 2600. If i buy the 920 in us I won't be able to receive 4G due to this differences....
Thx

Hi all, below was posted on another forum if this helps. The chap successfully flashed his 920 with different firmware. It didn't unlock his phone but he did not try renaming the sim lock file to the same as his current which I think somebody needs to do.
Download & install Nokia Care suite
Download DC_template_development_v4.bin and place in the "C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-821" directory (or wherever your care suite set itself up for)
Install "WinUSB Drivers<architecture>.msi" from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers" (assumes x64 PC)
Run Nokia Care suite then run Product Support Tools
Connect the phone and let it be detected
Boot the phone into testing mode
Open device manager & find all the unidentified devices (check by unplugging and re-conecting the phone) there were about 8 for me.
Right click on each one and update the driver manually, show all hardware and select "Nokia phone"
From Tools, Firmware Downloads search for "059R075" and download files
When downloaded open "RM821_059R075_1232.2110.1244.3_035.vpl" from the packages folder
Edit line 12 (<ProductCode>059R075</ProductCode>) with the code for the EE firmware (059R1W4) so the line reads: "<ProductCode>059R1W4</ProductCode>"
Turn the phone off and then on while holding the up arrow. You should get to the Nokia boot-loading screen (Nokia logo with a cog)
Then choose "programming, Recovery" from the product support tool
Choose the downloaded image & click Start.
If you get a warning about being unable to connect to the phone do what it says and unplug the phone & power it off (hold both volume buttons and power for 5 seconds) then plug it back in.
Keep your fingers crossed for 5 minutes...

I wonder what the Rogers Lumia 920 Product Code is ?? Perhaps if I had that I could just edit the vpl of a RM-821 ROM and get it to work.
Can anyone tell me what the product code is?

could you be a little more specific... what do you mean without loosing the I.D? if you mean without removing all apps etc, then it's not possible at this time. I would doubt that it'll even be possible when the update is pushed out next year.
if i understand

I think he wants to say how to find "the product code "in order to install an official rom without Nokia Care Suite.

Does it matter which color to use? I have lumia 800 cyan and want to use German firmware, but there is a firmware for any but cyan(( Can I use a firmware for a black phone?
Nevermind, I used german black firmware and everything worked flawlessly.
Sorry for my bing translation, see that not is understood well, anyway now I have solved that problem, thank you for your interest, but now I have another question, see if I can help, where you extract "amss.mbn" and "emmcboot.mbn" of a lumia 710 of the files downloaded from the navifirm

This tutorial might be helpful:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-...8-on-Lumia-Devices-from-NaviFirm-314617.shtml
"For that, you will need to go to C: \ ProgramData \ Nokia \ Packages, and create a new folder labeled “Products.” Make a new folder inside it, name it as the specific model number of your device (e.g.: RM-801 for Lumia 800, RM-808 or RM-823 for Lumia 900, RM-803 or RM-809 for Lumia 710, etc).
Inside this folder, place the Windows Phone 7.8 ROM that you have previously downloaded through the NaviFirm Plus application. According to plaffo, it should be in this folder: “\ NaviFirm + 1.7 \ Fw \<product code>”."
Lumia 800 developer unlock
Hello! I updated firmware to 7.8 and now I cannot register for a developer unlock, windows phone developer registration doesn't see my phone. By the way, Zune does recognize it but when I connect the phone a message shows up that states that it cannot connect my phone to the internet though I still can sync my phone with PC, and syncronization really works. I tried to reinstall the firmware couple of times, made hard reset but no luck. It either rebooted after disconnection from pc or did stuff like now. Has anyone experienced the problem? Other than that everything is great.

Cannot flash 920. Is it bricked?

I have a Rogers 920 and I got impatient for the update and tried to flash it last night. I followed the instructions posted on tons of threads around here, and it didn't work. Now I have a phone that is stuck at the Nokia screen....
I am only trying to flash the Rogers 920 with a Rogers 920 ROM, but it is complaining about a Platform ID mismatch? 0xFA001304: Platform ID check fails. Reason(s): The FFU file is not meant for this product. The platform ID of image does not match with platform ID of the device.
I redownloaded the firmware 3 times. Also, the program cannot read my Platform ID. Any ideas why that might be or if that is contributing to the issue? Any easy way to find my Platform ID without being able to boot the phone? In the Lumia 800, there was a sticker under the SIM card that said it, but no luck with the 920.

Just to follow up, there are reports on here and WPCentral of the Rogers updated ROM being broken (doesn't recognize the phone correctly). I am downgrading to the old ROM and will try to do the OTA update. Will post back if it works just so others can see.
Confirmed. The new Rogers ROM is broken. Flashed the .1002 ROM successfully and will wait for OTA update.

[Q] Has someone successfully flashed a firmware in Lumia 925?

Hello. As there's no Lumia 925 forum yet, and the 925 has almost the same specs, I'm posting my question here.
Has anybody been able to flash a Lumia 925? I've read four different tutorials for Lumia flashing, none of them agreeing in the sequence of buttons pressing; and with each of the tutorials, and after trying no less than twenty times, I always ended up with some error message, "wrong signal from the device", or something like that. And it gives me back the "retry" popup window, or simply exits with error code. The only log I get from the flashing software (Nokia Care Suit) is "recovery failed". I'm using Product Support Tool version 2013.49.3.30, one of the latest, supposedly supporting Lumia 925.
Someone else? Some success flashing this phone? Some hint about what the issue might be?

Aren`t the Nokia Care Suite or Nokia Software Updater compatible with the 925?
Yes, both are. That's why I was wondering. Anyhow, I already passed that stage with a clean installation of the software in my system. Now I'm stuck in another problem...

You have, already, two thread open for the same problem...
Problem flashing Lumia 925
[Q] How to flash latest firmware?
Nope. Those two threads address different problems. I first posted one about where to find latest software. Later on, I posted another one addressing a very particular issue regarding the flashig process. By the way, I reckon you might be able to help with the latter.

i tried to flash using WPinternals but this is lock bootloader so i could not flash it.
tried to find many forums and websites but i got nothing.
i love my lumia 920 and want to revive it back.
Please anybody help me to fix my bricked lumia with red screen?
many thanks for everyone.
