[Q] NaviFirm updating question - Nokia Lumia 920

Hey everyone
I just received my Lumia 920 today. Phone is amazing!
it came with the cv-HK firmware (country varient Hong Kong?) since I ordered it through mobicity.com.au and they get their stock from Hong Kong :S
I have flashed the latest Australian stock ROM (cv-AU) and was wondering if I will receive updates in the future?

Who knows for sure.....but....I've done Navifirm flashes before and this has never prevented updates from taking place. I'm sure if it had, others might have posted this before. You should be ok....

Thanks for the reply

I was pretty much wondering the same thing. I think my 920 is unbranded but I don't want to wait 'til Feb to get the updates so I was wondering about using Navifirm as soon as suitable firmware appears for my phone.
Does anyone out there know if this will mean I'll always have to manually update in the future or will I get notifications like everyone else on the firmware I install?
Thanks.
Edit: Turns out my phone isn't unbranded. Now I'm tempted to de-brand. If only game saves could be backed up.

I'm intrested too with this.
I bought my 920 in Italy and flashed using navifirm with the world fw unbranded. Now i'm in Brazil and not getting the update.....can't tell if because it's not available here or because i flashed.......any opinions?

I just realised, that when I had my Lumia 800, I flashed the unbranded aus ROM over the Telstra one, and I received updates straight away.
So, it shouldn't be an issue when an update is released.

Yeah Nokia have only released the new Portico update for certain carriers in certain markets so far. They also said it would be available across the globe in February 2013 (which I believe is an under-promise) and should be available around January sometime.
Trust me, if you have flashed a different region ROM, you will still receive the updates. I have flashed and re-flashed the crap out of my Lumia 800 and 900 last night and they both keep receiving updates. Lumia 920 will be no different. Once the update is available in the region of your ROM, the phone will get the update.

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.

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.

Question about buying lumia 800 in a foreign country

Hello everyone
I will probably buy a nokia lumia 800 in malaysia during my holidays and i would like to know when i will be back home ( in france) if i will able to upgrade the firmware of my nokia lumia with french version without brick the phone .
At the first time, i wanted to buy Samsung galaxy S2 but i have seen that there are some problem about firmware upgrade .
Thanks you :cyclops:
I bought mine in India and using it here in Germany. Even updated to Tango. I guess the update is device specific meaning mine is RM-801 tied to India. Irrespective of whichever part of the world you are only if the update is released for the country of mobile origin (in my case India) you can update
BTW i force updated my Lumia 800 to Tango using Zune

1. No, except if you want review with other Non-Nokia Windows Phone devices. Nokia has more OEM apps than HTC and Samsung. For an example Nokia Pro Camera, City Lens etc. But anyway there are alternative apps for other phones.
2. Only dependent from carrier and country from where you bought your phone. Some carrier phones doesn't receive updates (Branded Phones(Carrier review it.)) and second your country phone will receive update but later.
3. You couldn't change firmware to any other. First if you have branded phone, must debrand it. Nokia Service Center will do it for you. Next you can install later for your device specific unbranded firmware thats it. Nothing more. If you install wrong firmware on device, it will be brick. (Im talking about you can't install Nokia 920 RM-801 firmware on you Nokia Lumia 920 RM-902 for an example.)
Could you please answer this questions?
1-Which Firmware/ROM gets updates earlier.
2-Manualy D-branding possible or not?
3-Do you know any source that completely talk about how to do this stuff eg: Unlocking, D-branding, Hacking, etc...? (I do not care about warranty or what ever)
Thanks in advance...
No special ROMs which gets updates earlier. It is only just luck.
I dont think so.
You can unlock at your carrier provider. Debranding in Nokia Service center. Hacking what you mean? Install custom roms? No way. WP8 has secure boot.

He could be asking for customized ROM like I was able to have Nokia ROM on Samsung phone. Was kinda cool running Nokia Maps on Samsung device
Search for Here Drive in Marketplace.

RE:`
You can flash an unbranded rom yourself with NCS.
To download any version of any ROM you can use navifirm+ which is a customized version of old navifirm.

there are "better" and worse firmware out there, as example Vofafone Germany cuts out the Data Sense features. and some others cut out the LTE. i use an "open" firmware which is only an country variant do its not branded the country variant is labeled by "CV" in navifirm+ or nokia care suite. and if you change your phone from lets say Lumia 920 (820) to the same lumia 920 (RM-820) firmver then you can not harm your device. but there are some out like lumia 920 (RM-821, RM-822, RM-867). But these RM i think are only geographical codes for USA, Europe, China... but there are differences to, in Chinese ROMs i think there are not all languages like in the European ROM. there are some missing. and all they work the same because nokia and microsoft build them. the difference is just how the "carrier" disables or modifies some values for their own needs. thats all.

It is best to take a firmware of your region/country.
It is also best to take a firmware unbranded.
What else ...
For camera quality, use portico.... Nokia broke the camera with amber and black

Software and Firmware updates

I am in US and am thinking of getting the Z5C on AT&T. Since AT&T does not really sell this device, does anyone know how software and firmware updates will work, since the carrier will not push through any updates for this particular device?
You'll get unbranded version and you will not need to wait for carrier to push updates.
You can flash any customization you wish using flashtool, and OTA updates come directly from Sony. I bought an import with Hong Kong firmware and flashed it to Nordic version. Has everything that a US version would have, except 4G icon instead of LTE.
I bought mine on Amazon from a prime seller. Was sourced from the HK SAR market since it has that particular firmware. Says 4G instead of LTE but that is fine and I get firmware updates direct from Sony. Great device.

Why did you flash a Nordic version? Is that your region and is there any advantage over the Taiwan version I have (I'm in the U.S. and it has U.S. English already). Thanks.

Just my preference, I like not having the NFC icon in status bar when it's on, and don't need all the additional languages/keyboards of HK version it shipped with.
Generally, European regions seem to get update sooner than others.

Thanks. I hate the NFC icon too. I didn't know it wasn't there in certain firmwares. Maybe when Marshmallow comes I'll flash a different region.

True but I think I'll stay away from U.S. firmware until I find out what, if any, extra bloatware it contains. Also, isn't the U.S. generally slow to get updates due to its size? Is there a ranking somewhere that shows which regions update first and what the firmware variations are?
some websites are also stating US version will not come with fingerprint sensor.. What's wrong with Sony!

Anyone got an update to a UK unlocked single-sim mate 10 pro (BLA-L09 C782) ????

Just checking to see if anyone has had a sniff of an update for the UK version (BLA-L09 8.0.0.115 C782) of the mate 10 pro. Bought mine unlocked from Carphone Warehouse, and see a few threads for the dual sim variant, but not one jot about any updates to the UK release (and I haven't had a single OTA update yet)... So, shout out if you have an update, or know if one is imminent...
No update yet, but I did contact Huawei UK and they state they are currently rolling out a 8.0.0.124 update for my IMEI. Being done in batches at the moment.

Only thing I can comment on for now is that it does seem snappier... but that could be pure placebo.... Will tinker with it and feed back anything important / useful.
