[Q] Nokia l800 wp 7.8 update - Nokia Lumia 800

hi there,
i have a Nokia l800 with DLOAD bootloader, so no dev unlocked phone . yesterday i've read an article about updating my phone.
so i was going to update my phone also. no update in zune but i saw that i could update it with Navifirm and NCS.
i followed every step, downloaded the rom. made a map C://...nokia/products/rm-801, but when i connect my phone to NCS when its off
it supposed to be recognized by NCS. but i get a message with: data packes could not be connectent or something like that.
is the problem that i have DLOAD or just that im doing it wrong.

That's definitely not a DLOAD problem -- I've got a phone with the locked DLOAD bootloader, and I've installed loads of different ROMs via Nokia Care Suite.
I must admit though, I don't know what *is* causing your problem.

MarijnV look bottom right corner of your NCS-update window if its in offline mode....if so change it to online.

Updating Nokia 710, Help Needed. Change Product Code?

Does anyone know if its possible to change the product code on a Nokia Lumia 710?
Does anyone know what Zune checks for when looking for updates?
I have a T-mobile Nokia Lumia 710 demo unit with product code 059L3R1. I was able to download and flash "RM-809 T-Mobile Black 1600.3007.7740.11465" from NaviFirm to remove the demo software. However, it won't find any updates on Zune.
I assume its because of my product code. I guess I have three options that might work.
1) Changing the product code might fix the updates
2) Find a backup with the latest updates for a stock t-mobile 710
3) Find the links for all the t-mobile cab updates
Can anyone help me with any of these solutions?
Followed this and it found an update! lol what a joke.
Try this is Zune says your phone is up to date.
turn the phone into airplane mode.
check in zune for an update if it says its upto date click ok, the press one above or below the update option.
next click update and around 2-3seconds disconect from your internet conection, hopefully it will say update available, reconect click ok, and sit back
Ive just done this for my 710 and its updating now.

I was able to flash it to the firmware you specified and it updated to Tango through Zune, no other thing was done to enable this.
Just one question for you... are you able to get the unlock code by calling T-Mobile for this device? I'm asking because I'm curious if they have an unlock code for a Demo Device... I have previously unlocked a retail 710, I'd appreciate your response.

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.

[Q] Is it possible to bring DLOAD mode back if my Lumia 800 has QCMDM bootloader?

My original Vodafone Spain branded Nokia Lumia 800 had no problems at all since today. I have never tried to unlock it and has always installed the official updates through Zune.
Today I've received the notification for the 7.8 update! Yay! I started the installation through Zune (as always). Everything was ok: steps 1 trough 5 (downloading, transferring, etc.). And then, step 6: rebooting the phone. It rebooted, but the usual "do not unplug" icon didn't show. Instead, the screen was blank and Zune was waiting endlessly for the phone to reboot. A notification came through windows saying that the removable drive must be formatted, which I DIDN'T do. The device manager was showing a "Qualcomm MMC Storage USB device" along with another one with a yellow asterisk.
Searching the internet I found that my phone has a special Bootloader, which was not supposed to be available to the final users.
I know many people here would love to have the Qualcomm Bootloader, but what I would like right now is to have the standard DLOAD Bootloader!
So here is my question: is it possible to restore the phone to the standard DLOAD mode so I could install the 7.8 update through Zune?
I've tried installing the Qualcomm drivers, which installed flawlessly. Now I have no yellow asterisks, but a new COM port ("Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9006 (COM5)"), but Zune is still waiting for my phone to reboot....
UPDATE: I have tried with "Seven-Eighter" by Windows Phone Hacker wit the same result. Obviously is an issue related to the bootloader of my phone.
NOTE TO THE ADMINS: Should I better post this in the "Lumia 800 Windows Phone Development " section?
I've finally found the solution!
Just hold the camera button when Zune restarts the phone. Then the usual "do not unplug" screen appears and the process continues flawlessly.
Hi,
For lumia 800 - only way to change boot-loaders is through Test Points and ATF Flasher.

(Solved)Rogers Lumia 710 update to wp7.8 and unlock sim

Hi everyone:
I am using Rogers Lumia 710. Since haven't seen the wp7.8 update pushed to my phone, I decided to update it by myself. What I did is following:
1. Downloaded the latest firmware with NaviFirm 1.5, and chose the APAC1 Black one under RM-803 (mine is RM-809)
2, Installed the Nokia Care Suite, changed the ROM's name to my phone's product code, successfully flashed it. All my apps were gone though. Using my live ID to logon, I could get all my contacts, calendars back.
3, Using the NssPro 5.0. I flashed the OSBL file to Qualcomm.
So far everything was fine. The problem started below.
4, In NssPro, chose Simlocks -> WP7 -> Unlock
The NssPro switched the phone to OSBL mode, I could see the screen turned to dark after a short vibration, then NssPro said could not find the phone. The snapshot is attachd.
I tried many times and NssPro just couldn't find the phone.
Is there any one knows what is the cause and how to solve it?
Thank you guys.

UPDATE: Problem Solved!
I was using Win7 64 bit.
Tried anther computer which is runing WinXP 32bit. Installed NCS, ZUNE and NSS Pro 0.54
The trick is:
If you connect the phone and use NSS to unlock it, NSS will turn the phone mode to OSBL mode, then it stops, just leave the phone there without any further actions. What I did was I disconnect the phone then re-plug it, click Unlock in NSS again, amazingly, it searched the phone and found a place to change. At that time the phone was recognized as NAND drive.
After NSS said successfully unlocked, I tried Fido card. The phone asked PIN and I typed in 8 zeros, then I could make phone call with Fido network.
Now my phone is unbranded, upgraded to wp7.8 and sim-unlocked. Bingo!
Hope this helps

I did not exactly understand what was your problem but I do have a problem with the drivers.
I looked in the sreenshot, what does it say in the list, just right from USB pin layout? For me, I get a not working Qualcomm driver and in this device list something like 'usb disk' appears 3 times (I don't remember the exact words, not at home to check). Instead of showing Nokia (or something) on first line.
I am wondering if we had same problem.. do I need to wipe my pc and install 32 bit win7? doesn't sound like a great idea. I tried virtualbox but I can't pass the usb through the host.

[Q] Lumia 710 Care Suite 'Non Upgradable' HELP?

Hey everyone!
I've checked for weeks now on Zune for the Windows Phone 7.8 Update. and have resorted to using the navifirm method.
It's factory unlocked from nokia, RM-803.
I've done everything correctly, but Care Suite 5.0 just gives me a 'Software Status: Not Upgradable' message. The refurbish page has the 'Start' button greyed out and I'm unable to flash ANY firmware file at all.
Does anyone have a possible work around to this? Or am I locked on 7.5 forever?
Read a few threads you`ll find a few ways up updating to 7.8
This is probably the easiest for updating
