The phone runs Windows Phone 7.5(because in my country(Bulgaria) 7.8 is not yet availiable).
Is there a way to enable bluetooth file transfer? I read that the only way is to use an app that requiers a fully unlocked phone. If this is not true please say me how to enable Bluetooth file transfer. But if it is true please tell me how to full-unlock the phone. I don't have an unlocked boot loader, but if there isn't another way I will unlock it()if it is possible). Please tell me how to do it.
you should download the latest 7.8 Firmware with navifirm, and flash it to your phone.
you don't need an unlocked bootloader for that.

Does the 7.8 firmware support Bluetooth file transfer?
Will it ruin my guarantee if I flash it without zune?
How can I do it?
- i flashed the latest 7.8 release yesterday, and the stock rom has nokia bluetooth sharing application built in
- yes, it will void your warranty

If I return the firmware to the original one using navifirm again will they notice it?
And another question: I looked in Navifirm and noticed that there is no Bulgarian version for the phone there, but the phone didn't have Bulgarian language when I bought it so I am not sure that it runs Bulgarian version now. Will it be a problem if I install Russian version instead?
Of course it's your choice what you do, but in my opinion, you should be fine.
When i had a problem and needed the warranty, then nokia always repaired it, they seem to be very "fair" in handling these things.

Maybe it is a stupid question and if so, I apologize for this.
I bought a Lumia 710 and I want to interop-unlock it. Just checked for every thread in the forum but I don't have found anything that fits to me.
If I follow one of the guide in the forum, I flash my phone and everything goes ok.
When I want to return to stock ROM (example for warranty), what are the steps to follow?
very thanks to everyone!
I would imagine you'd need to download the stock ROM from NaviFirm and flash it with either Nokia Care Suite for DLOAD bootloader or for QC bootloader there is another program you need to use, but I can't find the name of it.
All info is here, just read everything
And this is what I thinked about, but I want a confirm.
The version I have of NCS Product Support Tool is 2012.12.5.3 in normal mode found my phone, but in QC bootloader don't find it.
If i wish to restore original rom, there is a guide for it?
yes, you use NSS to restore your bootloader. check it out in development thread and say THANKS to the Developer because he has mede it easy to use.
Cheers
Use the NSS Suite to get back the Nokia DLOAD then just update normally to get back to the original state for your warranty claims

Ok, thanks to all, for now I don't have necessity to claim for warranty, but you know, Fortune is blind but bad luck sees us well!!!
installing rom on pre installed rom

should i flash it or i have to do someting else..??
Hey there,
I have a Nokia Lumia 920 with the Retail Demo Software, i wanna have a full WP8 OS on this Device.
Is it possible to disable the Demo mode?
You have to use the Nokia Care Suite to load a new Rom.
Sent from my LG-E970 using XDA Premium HD app
where can i find the the Download link for Version 2012.44.5.3?
Same here, help would be appreciated. Any way to get rid off the Demo mode? I have installed navifirm+ but really do not know which variant I have to download or how to install it, maybe because I am new to Windows Phone...
So the phones aren't even out yet on AT&T, ppl have been selling these stolen store demos ?
Demo mode is a special ROM loaded on phones display in retail stores. The only way to get rid of it is to load a different ROM. There is no easy way to do it. You have to research it yourself.

It's not stolen at all, we are officially selling these Phones and got 1 free when buying 5. The free one was the demo device, but I didn't know about that. Now I would like to use this device for myself but I can't... I did some research and downloaded a ROM but I really do not find any download link for Phoenix or JAF to install the ROM on my device so now I am really stuck and don't know what to do.
EDIT: Ok I downloaded Phoenix and it says the Lumia isn't even connected. Seems like fail. Any ideas?

That was interesting. When orginal Samsung Focus was released, store employees have to load the demo firmware by themselves IIRC. So now it is loaded by the coporate AT&T.

Actually I'm from Germany and it is not a branded device at all. It just comes with the demo to be placed in a shop where everybody can get their hands on it. But this isn't of any use for us. Help would still be appreciated
Your besy bet is head over to dev forum asking for how to load ROMs to it. But the first thing is to find the official ROM files to download. There is no common way in Windows Phone to load device ROMs from another ROM. Each manufacturer has its own ways. Once you loaded with official ROM tough, you can easily upgrade via common Windows Phone OTA update afterwards.

Navifirm doesn't have any RM-820 ROMs yet. Only 821. Did you successfully flash a RM-821 ROM onto a AT&T 920 (RM-820)???
Or, did you find a RM-820 ROM?
I tried to flash a 821 ROM onto my Rogers 920 which is also RM-820, and the phone won't boot, I am desperately trying to find a RM-820 ROM.

You are right I see, there is no RM-820. But I wasn't even able to flash the ROM because Phoenix didn't detecte my device, it was shown as not connected. How did you mange to flash it then? Btw my Lumia isn't from AT&T.

I chose a RM-821 rom to flash in NCS. It asked me to confirm since the ROM wasn't for this phone. I did, and it started flashing. Then it errored out, saying the ROM isn't for the phone and wouldn't go. I was left with a dead phone

Well that's good for me because I would have made the same mistake. So there is no working ROM right now? Too bad for your dead phone, but how did you install the ROM on it? You have a demo device, too? Where did you actually get it from, and why are we the only damned ones having trouble with demo devices?! x(

Nope, mine was not a demo. I bought it off Kijiji.
I just had success in the past flashing a non-Rogers ROM onto my Lumia 900 and getting MMS and tethering to work. I thought I could do the same here.
If I understand correctly, you're in Germany. That would mean you have a RM-821 device. That would mean you have tons of options for flashing, Nokia Product Support for Store would be what you need. Just download the non-demo ROM for your country and flash it. If you're flashing a RM-821 ROM to a RM-821 device, you should be golden.
RM-821 ROM to a RM-820 device, not so much
It works. Nuff said.
HTC 8X demo mode -- ROM?
I've a similar issue, but with an HTC 8X.
Some guy on Craigslist sold my not-very-smart sister an HTC 8X Windows Phone 8 for $250. Of course, it is locked in demo mode and probably stolen. I've no idea to be honest. I would like to try to flash this demo mode HTC 8X phone into a regular AT&T phone.
I previously flashed a Windows 7.0 Samsung Focus phone w/ Mango through the wonderful instructions on this forum. I'm tempted to try it again, but I would appreciate any guidance on:
1. Finding the right ROM for a HTC 8X phone. It says:
OS version: 8.0.9905.12
Firmware revision: 1532.20.10012.502
Hardware revision number: 0002
2. Basic instructions on how to flash it (someone said navifirm-- do I just install it? etc.) where is it located?
3. Any thoughts on the process of flashing the ROM? Steps, etc.? I'm reasonably technologically savvy, but I don't code anymore these days so I'm not a whiz at this stuff.
Any help would be really appreciated! Thx.

Hi! I have a Nokia Lumia 800 and I want to unlock it but I still have some questions, I think they are stupid but I am not able to find them on the Interner. I have already checked and I have a Qualcomm bootloader, so I should be able to full unlock my phone, and I was thinking on installing Raimbow Mod or something like that, but I have read that if you flash your Lumia 800 using NSS your Windows Live ID will get flashed too and you won´t be able to use it. Is that true? How can I prevent or fix that problem? Thank you very much!

Hi,
About Windows live ID, I'm NOT sure. But one thing I am sure is that
if you will flash your to official rom, then you will loose QUALCOMM boot-loader,
and therefore, you will NOT be able to install ANY custom/modded rom on your
phone
BR
Yep you cant use live id but is easy to solve that .
Just ask for activation code to microsoft and they will send you .

Hello People ..
Please dont bash be for making this thread.. i've looked and searched everywhere and i still dont have the answers for my questions ..
i bought a Lumia 800 Second hand a couple of days ago ( im more an android guy, but i wanted to try it )
- I've been looking everywhere on how to unlock it and install a 7.8rom on it ..
My issue is i cant find enough information to figure out if my phone is capable of doing this ..
It's a Lumia 800 with Windows Phone 7.5
Firmwareversion 1750.0805.8773.12220
Bootloader version: 7.41.0.0
I dont know what kind of information you need and where i can find it ..
but is it possible for me to unlock and install a custom rom on this device?
And in which case.. where do i start?
Any help would be appreciated..
PS. Im Really not new to this .. just new on the Windows Phone side
hi there.
First, i would recommend you to check if you've got qualcomm bootloader:
1. turn off your phone
2. press vol-up + power till you feel it vibrate
3. release both buttons
4. connect it to your pc
IF your computer shows "format mass storage", DO NOT FORMAT!!! This will brick your phone. But in case you see this message, you're lucky and have the qualcomm loader, which is needed for custom rom flashing.
If it shows you Nokia DLOAD, you have the locked bootloader and need special hardware & good soldering skills to make your DLOAD Lumia 800 to qualcomm
cheers

You're welcome
If you don't want to wait, download Navifirm and search for latest fw of your product code.
If it's not available, just download a fw from another product code and flash this to your phone using nokia care suit / support tool for store.
There should be how-to's published here on xda.

Hi,
I've got two developer 920s, one that I got from the build conference last year (and has no issues), and another that was sent to me directly from the nokia developer group in Finland. The one from finland came with an odd ROM installed (059N6W4) and because of that cannot install the amber update over the air. It is currently 1232.2107.1242.0001.
Nokia support wanted me to send it off to some company in Alabama (who's website doesn't even work right) to have it flashed, but I figure I should be able to do it just as easily.
But I can't get the nokia care suite to flash it with the proper firmware (059R2L5). It complains that the "FFU file is not meant for this product." when I try to flash it. Its odd because under Basic Info, it detects the product code as 059R2L5, but under Extended Info it says the basic product code is 059N6W4. Nokia care suite wants to upgrade it to 3047.0000.1326.2001, but just won't do it.
any suggestions on how to get this thing updated properly?

use refurbish option instead of upgrade and I think you need to flash pre-portico rogers rom in order to perform switch to 059R2L5
