Hi. I've been reading through the forums and am thinking of flashing to the world generic for x10a (2.1, latest build) but don't want to lose some of the functions of my phone that may be country specific such as Google Voice Navigation for their Google Maps. I was wondering if Google Voice Navigation will still work after I flash to world generic for x10a, i.e. can I still use it as a gps when I drive (like it'll give me voice directions)? If it doesn't, any way to make it work?
On a semi-related note, I've been reading that there have been issues with the gps and wifi with the ROM update/flash. Have those been resolved with the latest 2.1 update that was released a few days ago (at least those that are software related and not hardware related)? The world generic is really the LAM but non-country specific without any of the bloatware that our carriers put on yes (I'm on AT&T and given their responses...ugh)? And if the world generic x10a 2.1 ROM happens to not install google voice search, I can just install batman_112's apk after flashing?
Thanks a lot for any help!

I use the 2.1 world generic. I have an AT&T X10a.
Navigation is there, yes.
You can install voice search, yes.
Issues, no.
Bloatware from AT&T, no.
You can root from here and remove whatever apps you do not like using root explorer or titanium backup.
Good luck.
Thanks man! That's awesome. Will do it once I charge up my phone (and of course after I do all the set up things). As an official ROM, we'll get the future updates (if SE releases anymore) as they come directly from SE right? Would we need to reroot every time there is an update?
Sorry, I'm still learning... Thanks.

Yes, you can get future updates directly from SEUS. You will not be tied to AT&T anymore. And yes, you will need to re-root every time you update but, that should not be a problem. Just pop in here whenever you need something and I am sure you will find what you are looking for.
Also, before you start, watch this tutorial regarding the flash tool.
Yes the answer to your question. If you use SEUS to update your phone you will need to re- root your devices after the update. I would look into checking out one of the custom roms that are out. i have tried each one and have it narrowed down to 2 to be my daily. either the EminenceBuild or J's 2.2CustomDarkStyle.
Thanks guys. The info and help is much appreciated.
Sorry, forgot to ask- the flash tool would be from jerlepea's massive ROM thread correct? Then I would root using batman_112's/your superoneclick's root program. Thanks.

Yes, you will find the flash tool there or you can go here and get it.
You can then root from here or here.
Thanks! Will be watching the video once I get back. This place is awesome, made awesome by you guys.
Thanks for the quick replies and info.

No problem
Come back and post to let us know how it went. Good luck!
Will do. Will do it later on in the week as I don't want to accidentally brick it during the week when I need to use the phone and have an all-nighter (however remote it appears to be); anyway, after flashing and rooting, I may not sleep anyway b/c I would want to play around with it! It's a pretty sweet device that's mainly marred by the official "support." But the support here more than makes up for that. Thanks again!
Ok, I tried flashing for...well much longer than it should have taken. I tried both PC Companion and SEUS. When I first got my x10a, I was able to update with PC Companion no problem. Now, when I'm trying to enter flash mode, my computer hangs. The phone enters flash mode (green light turns on) but my computer than hangs - it detects the SEMC device but then it hangs and the phone eventually just boots up normally then. I read somewhere that it might be the usb drivers? But I can't find the thread now or the files. Does anyone have them? I'm using Win XP SP3, antivirus and firewall off during flash attempts. Any advice? Thanks!
Hey, ok, I've been trying to flash my x10a for...well let's just say much longer than it should have been. Things seem fine in that I was able to use PC Companion to update when I got my x10a out of the box. But now, when I'm using either SEUS or PC Companion, my computer hangs once it detects the SEMC Device...after several seconds, the x10a just loads up normally and my computer hangs. I remember reading somewhere that it might be the usb drivers? I've been looking through the forums but can't seem to find it now - does anyone have it?
I'm running Win XP SP3, antivirus and firewall off when doing the flashing. Please help. Thanks!
---
I've tried it on another computer to no avail - it's the same thing, it sees the SEMC Mass Storage but it does not register as SEMC Flash Device (i.e. it sees it as a SEMC Flash Device but then it stops). I've uninstalled and reinstalled PC Companion and Update Service which should have given clean install of the drivers. I don't know what to do. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
Ok, I finally got the firmware to flash but I can't seem to root now. Am reading through the threads but it seems like I am doing everything right, just not getting the results. Which sucks.
Btw, why does the haptic feedback not turn off properly? I turn it off but whenever I press a key, it still vibrates?
ok i have been all over the place trying to figure this process out. i found everything that i believe that i need and have saved all info. well i did not get far.
here is what i have done so far. i have dl 1.9.0 from dj steve i have created my install .txt file. i tried the fast boot and thats as far as i get. i try the find driver and there is not even a google, inc folder to choose. if possible i would like to get someone on some sort of chat be it yahoo or whatever that could take the time to walk me through this from start to finish. i know that this is a rather large task but if i could get it i would be greatful.
here is what i am working with.
at&t dell streak 5
android version 2.2
build number 14844
i have taken everything back to off of sd card like the rcoverey and install and 1.9.0 files.
that is all that i know so far and sorry if i am not on the right track but with all of the write ups online it is almost impossible to figure out which is best and easiest ect... well thanks to everyone for the help whether i get any or not.
Start here
Quickest way to ROOT access is to
Hold your streak above your head with both hands
Close your eyes
Shout out loudly " OPEN SESAME " (must be yelled out loudly or will not work)
Then with all the energy summoned
SMASH YOUR PHONE INTO THE GROUND
CONGRATS NOW YOU SHOULD BE ROOTED WITH SUPER USER
thanks marvin for the link i already have been all over that and no luck. i cant even get into fastboot. when i try to bring up the add driver and go to select from list google inc is not there. i have gone over every step a hundred times and dont know what it is. if anyone knows where i can dl the driver file that would be awesome. but i have read other places with guys having the same issue and they dont get any help either so, i will just hold off.
also i am trying to do this on windows 7 with x86 i dont know if this could be the issue. if so i have a vista laptop also if that would be more useful. just looking for info,
and yes i have vista in test mode

I also use windows 7 x86, follow the instruction on streskdroid in how to setup qdltool, when you get to installing certificates do not worry if you can nnot install it just follow the next instruction. Dont forget to do that in test mode.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
ok i think that i am finally on the right track. i have down loaded and run so many new programs that it is hard to recall which did what but i do know that one downloaded the google, inc folder so i am sure that i will be able to put in the drivers to allow fastboot. i am currently waiting on repairtool to dl so that i can finshish following the qdl tutorial and will post with update.. thanks guy

There is no reason to actually run the QDLTool on your phone because the ROM you have is later than the one it will install. But the download will include the drivers, unzip it and look in the driver folder for what you need.
just finished with the streak droid 1.9 upgrade and first power up is coming up now mu phone just opened with a nice looking streakdroid logo by djsteve. thanks again to everyone that helped me out it is most appreciated.
how can i be sure that my install.txt file took? want to make sure i got my volume boost and density
ok scratch that ^^^^^ it took
lets say i wanted to modify that txt file on the root to make changes do i have to go back and upgrade through clockwork or will it take automatically with a reboot?? thanks guys
ok well to answer my question lol post whoreing.
i just pwrd on with the vol keys held went to update via .zip again. this was after changing the txt file and the changes took it also saved all my info and setting so i didnt have to worry about setting up all my email and stuff like that again. starting to get the hang of this.
Hey guys,
I was reading allot of info on the web about windows phone and the amber update and stuff.. but never a solid release date.
so the amber update is going to be released in this august, and this info is coming from some guy in spain via twitter..
so we are not sure when this update is going to be released. (ok it hasj been released)
but i have recently installed the amber update like so many others, and the update is really good, adding allot of new features that anyone with a lumia should be able to enjoy.
since windowsmania.pl doesnt offer the roms anymore (and i dont speak polish) and the amber roms aren't available through Nokia Care Suite, it could be quite difficult to obtain the roms and the necessary files & info to install this update on your phone.
i put together a few steps that will help you install amber. (especially when you never did this before!)
also this is mostly for the europian users with a Lumia 920.
please note that i will not be responsible of your own action on flashing a phone!
like only start flashing with a full battery!!
and make backups before you start! your phone will be wiped clean!
(go to settings for backup options, wp8 can make all the backups you want!)
Downloading the right files & setting this up:
step 1.: download Nokia Care Suite --> also known as NCS --> get it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?aww6lix9f0vuukd or http://d-h.st/IvF
after download install NCS.
(UPDATE: you can also update NCS itself by clicking updates in the NCS main menu.
by doing this it will also automatically install every necessary driver. so step 2 isnt really needed.. but you still need to do step 3 because it will give you acces to the update itself!!)
step 2.: download the drivers here: http://d-h.st/Mc3
install the files and reboot the pc after installing!
(includes 64bits drivers and 32bits drivers, if you don't know which one you should use, you can better stop reading from here )
step 3.: go to: C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Product Support Tool For Store 5.0 and find the usergroupsconfiguration.cfg file.
replace it with this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?r0up8y7tyku1k11 or http://d-h.st/GFW
thanks for the config file go to Jragar
(it will give you acces to Care Suite External)
Step 4.: download the rom here:
part 1: http://d-h.st/JgP
part 2: http://d-h.st/2JG
part 3: http://d-h.st/h17
(its the RM821_3047.0000.1326.2002_RETAIL_eu_euro1_425_02_240539 with product code 059R4H6) thanks for the rom goes to: blakepender
Note: i used the rom on my Dutch Lumia 920 with code: 059R016. it still works like a charm and i still have product code 059R016. so i dont think it will change your product code. (but im not sure!)
drop all files from the .rar into: C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-821.
if you dont have this folder yet. create it and then put all the files in there.
Identify the phone:
Step 5.: plug in your phone, while the phone is on, so your pc can detect it. After the phone has been found by your pc, start NCS.
double click on the "Product Support Tool for Store 5.0", it will promp you for username and password, just press sign in.
If all went well, NCS already found your phone and it will give some info about it. like that it will be running in normal mode.
Step 6.: In the Product Support Tool (PST) click on "File" --> "Open Product". A new window will appear. go to "RM-821" click open.
Step 7.: Now click on "programming" (Bottom left in PST) --> "recovery". After this click on "update list" the rom file should appear.
if not check if you put everything into the right folder. (step 4).
Start Flashing:
Step 8.: Click the start button once! it will give an error. This is good! (its because it has an different product code, but it will be fine)
please note that it can take a few minutes before PST gives a "recovery - failed" notification. please be patient. press ok after you get it.
Step 9.: Now unplug your phone, and power it off. Hit the Start button once again. PST will give an error that it can't find your phone.
It will show you the option how to start your Lumia 920 in flash mode.
Step 10.: Start your phone by pressing the power button + volume down button simultaneous. when the phone starts the vibrate. plug the phone back in to the pc, and press the "Retry" Button.
Give it a minute and it will start flashing your phone.
You know its going ok if you start seeing the nokia logo with a progress bar on the phone.
Please while the phone is flashing, dont touch anything.. if it gets disconnected somehow your phone can get bricked..
When the flashing is done it will reboot and it will start wp8 with amber.
Please keep in mind that it will take allot longer to boot the first time because it has to configure allot of things.
Your phone will start and ask you what language you want, just follow these steps, after this you will have the amber update up and running!
After a few hours to possibly 2 days (tnx Mikemikeson) with wifi it will give a notice that you will have like 10 or more updates pending. do this updates to get all amber features!
like sms + call blocking.
Hope these steps will help some folks that just cant wait to get Amber and didnt knew where to get the right files.
Good Luck!
p.s. this was done on a windows 7 pc and was confirmed working on windows 8.
Thank you
I flashed my unbranded Lumia 920 product code 059R075, with this one. I can confirm that this is perfectly done. No problems so long as you follow the instructions.
Cheers for the links and the instructions OP.
Update: Persian/Farsi Keyboard and Speech are missing in this build. I am not sure about all other languages though.
works
works like a charm.
after failed amber update with an other guide, this works.

I honoustly don't know if it will work.
you can try i though. when you have PST running with your phone connected, you can look for the latest rom file available for your phone.
under "tools" click on "firmware download" type in your product code, which can be found under the basic info tab. it should show the latest available firmware for your phone.
it will be non-amber, but atleast you have something to turn back to if it doesnt work in the end..
so download this rom first before you start flashing and you should be able to try it out without any consequence.
otherwise check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44504258
its about putting amber on AT&T Lumia 920.
so good luck!

Fix missing languages
Instead of adding keyboard, simply change the system language and you will automatically get the desired keyboard. Your languages persist should you revert back to English or any other system locale.

Thank you for this info, i did not know. im transfering the files as we speak.
it should be available within the hour.
Sorry for the inconvience
Flashed this last night and it is working beautifully, I have noticed since installing this WhatsApp, Skype and Lync are pushing messages through much more efficiently and I have found my battery still has 40% charge after being used all day, usually by this time I would be at about 15%.
For other people that flash, check out this page here for all of the QR codes for the Nokia system apps.
Use the Bing Vision on each of these QR codes to force the updates down.
Thanks for providing the ROM and Instructions, much appreciated.

Well, I guess I never flashed it to portico, and I don't see a copy anywhere so I guess I'm waiting on the official 820 variant. But thanks

you can check with NCS to make sure if its really a rm-820. just look for basic info in PST.
also it should work but it will change it to rm-821. and im not sure what that will do for your provider. Probably nothing.
maybe if you check the lumia 920 dev section on this site, i know there is a topic about changing from rm-820 to rm-821.
im on a holiday in greece on a tablet so i cant search for link now. good luck and i hope you wil have amber soon!

Hi Guys
I use a Lumia 920 locked on EE Uk Network and was very impatient that we have still not received the Amber Update and after much searching I am finally on Amber and loving it.
So Here is How you do it :-
1 ] Download NOKIA SOFTWARE UPDATeR FOR RETAIL
2] Install it on your PC > It will also automatically Install any drivers or additional software required
3] Once Installed Follow Instructions to Connect your Phone through Cable to PC
4] It will Show you the update available for your Phone
5] Follow Instructions to Download and install the software update.
6] I normally do another full hard reset after updates just in case (optional)
ENJOY!!!
FAQ
1] DOES THIS WIPE YOUR PHONE?
This way of updating will WIPE everything of your phone so a backup of your stuff is a must unless you are happy to start from scratch like me, It wont effect your purchase as they are linked to your MS Account, game saves and other stuff will be effected.
2] IS THE SOFTWARE TRUSTWORTHY?
The software is generally for use by People at Nokia Care Centres to update phones, as for the validity of the software with regards to viruses and stuff I found the link on google and you are welcome to search for the same if you can find another download link by googling ( Nokia software updater for retail 3.08)
3] WHAT IF THINGS GO WRONG?
I can't help you in anyway as I am just posting the resources, but it is a very straight forward process that even a 5 year old could do it.
ENJOY!! -
Does not work with ATT phones in the US. It finds the version of software that was already sent OTA six months ago. It is not Amber. It also gets and internal error after it downloads said software due to it being the same as already on the phone. 1314.0001 is what this package finds, and it is what was released OTA several months ago and is what is on my phone now.

Hi Thanks for the feedback, so maybe there is no update available for your device on the nokia servers then, I know it works as I have the amber update right now as enjoying every bit of it and its still not released on the UK networks except for vodafone.
Maybe you can keep trying every alternate days, and lets us know
thank you.
If there is no firmware on NCS servers you can not use NSU anyway.

Many thanks, been waiting for what feels like an eternity for my Three Lumia 920 to get the update - Nokia site still says it is coming soon for Three UK. I downloaded the software, plugged my phone in and it said the update is available. Downloading right now :good:
Thank you worked like a charm took me 5 minutes for everything
Stuck with 18 applications that won't download
Lumia 820 on Orange UK (never again! Could any company be worse.)
Took rather longer than 5 mins as I am out in the sticks and it's 1.22Gb to download.
I am now looking at "18 downloads" in the Store, each one of which says "Downloading application Attention required. Tap here."
I tap, and get "We can't connect to the Store at the moment. Check your data connection or try later". Hit retry ... and go round in a circle.
Or I get "Downloading application. There has been a problem completing your request. Try again later. Error code 8000ffff"
The connection should be OK as I can see bbc.co.uk, for instance.
Perhaps I'll try in the middle of the night.
cant update mine, is a 920 in MX telcel. it just download the update but at last time its says "error writing firmware on device" and the phone reboots. What can I do?
Does amber work with my USA ATT phone
I have an AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 thats unlocked to a different carrier right now. Can I follow your directions to install Amber onto it right now?
Thanks for the help guys appreciate it.
I got one problem as well. Phone was bought from ee (but unlocked using the code). However then i try to install nokia pro camera it says its not available for your device. can it be that ee hasn't released amber update yet?

There is apparently a problem with the Procam and it seems to have disappeared from the store at the moment as well, I believe Nokia has pulled it for some reason.
Lot of people are posting that it is not available for your device.

I used Windows 7 and it worked on that.
Just saw your 2nd picture. I think everything to do with Windows Phone 8 needs Windows 7 or above. I couldn't do anything with my Lumia on my XP machines. Quite why not I can't imagine, but that's Microsoft for you.

I got Windows 7 and 8 machines too. I'll try it there. My Vista machine is my daily use laptop. Oh well.
Thanks for the input.
Side question: Is Lumia 920 section officially dead?
So now i'm on WP8.1 looking forward to update to 10, whatever it is. Insider preview, technical, whatever, I just need to. But all fast ring, slow ring, all are not working. Everytime I select one, it force me to reboot in 10s, then REPEAT for eternity. No update in update setting.
I don't know if the lumia 920 section is dead or not. But I do know that Microsoft has ceased support for the lumia 920 concerning windows 10 update. SO you cant update it anymore via insider etc etc. --> But still the last preview version was really buggy so consider yourself lucky.
If you really want to try/update to windows 10 then look at the XDA lumia 920 main page (see button somewhere above this site. Are we allowed to post links in this forum???).
I've used these steps to update my lumia 920 to windows 10 and it really works. However you need to know that Windows 10 on the lumia 920 isn't perfect.

Appreciate your input. I tried. That tutorial was to sideload app and tweak and stuff. But i'm still on 8.1 and unable to do so IDK why. Everytime I sideload that app I get run time error. Please check capabilities etc.
Right now I am trying to revert back further to oldest 8.1 (before small patch OTA) to see if I can re-try that trick again.
I got a new phone. And giving this one to my sister. Facebook doesnt work very well (news feed skipping problem) so I try to upgrade to WP10 to get a new FB app for her.
Edit: Wait, I take that back. I checked general wp section. Not L920. So I need to check it again to make sure. Thanks.

Well I don't really know what you meant with side loading. When you look at the lumia section onder development you'll see a link with the Title:
[ROM][DHT v0.1]Windows 10 v10586 ROM for Nokia Lumia 920 (RM-821) posted by ngame within this board I've also done some tests and I've given some info.
I essence you're going to put a windows 10 OS from a different device onto a lumia 920 I thin k it came from the 950. So putting a custom rom on the 920.

Yeah, I just saw that. Couldn't find a clear tutorial on how to do this. Now i'm on stock 8.1. Do you have a link for complete tutorial that includes link to every necessary components in English?
I could do that, however I first have to know 1 thing. are you using RM820 or RM 821 or etc? BEcause the faq is based on a RM821.

RM821. Would fit perfectly
Oke well, if you want I can make a Faq based on my experience resulting in a working lumia 920 with an official windows 10 os.
However please note that If something were to fail or if the device were to brick (wich you can just unbrick see the lumia 920 board) I will not be responsible for any of it.

Don't worry mate. I messed around with mobile software since Symbian-day. I've been off for only 2-3 years.
Oke well I'm at work right now so I'll type something tonight (fyi. I live in the Netherlands).

Anytime, mate.
First you need to download the following files:
- Hex_loader
- SBL3_Engineering
- WindowsDeviceRecoveryToolInstaller
-------> - http://nokiaviews.com/unlock-windows-phone-bootloader-and-enable-mass-storage.html
- EFIESP & Custom Rom File
-------> - https://www.mediafire.com/folder/nd6yd9pzbld7v/DHT_L920
- Malaysian FFU file RM821 you need this one because, apparently,
the Malaysian firmware uses a different storage partitioning, which is necessary for windows 10.
Yes it is possible to reformat the drive with windowsitnernals, however most people on the board and from experience can tell you that it won't work.
When you flash the ISO it will say that the ISO is too BIG.
-------> - http://www.lumiafirmware.com/guid/059R024
- WPinternals 1.2
-------> - http://www.wpinternals.net/index.php/126-wpinternals-1-2-released
Now First organize:
Extract the zip/rar files to a folder and make it clear so that you can find it again:
I don't know if certain steps are or aren't necessary but I'll include them since
I've done them in order to make it work.
It is recommended to HARD reset first before doing this.
First: you need to install WindowsDeviceRecoveryToolInstaller,
1 to recover the phone and
2 it will install the right driveres on your pc. Atleast I was told to do this (you just have to install it that's it).
Second: Start WPInternals:
1 you need to bootload your device using the following files, HEX, ENGINEER etc the first 3 files above.
2 you need to change your current device firmware to the Malaysian ROM. --->PLATFORM--> FLASH--> Flash ORIGINAL FFU.
3 it will take some time and it will need a reboot
4 After that go to load iso and use the files--> WPInternals go to the -> Platform -> Flash -> Flash Separate partition and select the MainOS partition.
Third: when it is done:
1 Your device MAY show the following glitches:
-Stops at nokia screen,
-stops at windows screen,
-stops at the boot screen,
-it will boot to the start screen but you wont see any tiles,
-it will boot to the start but you can't use the touchscreen,
-it will boot to the start with touchscreen but you wont be able to swipe beyond the start screen.
2 To solve this you need to do a hard reset so if possible turn off your device.
Then coneect your device to a charger while holding down. When you see a exclamation point ! you need to let go and press the following up-down-power-down. It will then do a hard reset.
If you are unable to turn the device off then do the following--> perform a soft reset bij holding power and down. When it restarts quickly connect the charger and hold down. If you're to slow it will boot up and you need to do it again. But you'll have enough time to do this.
After restart it should work.
Good luck.

I would like to add that after everything you can just update the phone without problems. It will detect an update automaticaly
Will keep you posted. Thanks for the tutorial.

IDK why people love mediafire so much. I don't remember the last time that I managed to download big file through that website. And DepositFiles.
No matter at what internet speed i have. No matter how fast I can download from other websites. I just can't get more than 30kbps from that 2 websites. I just can't.
Edit: Worse thing is ffu file download can't be resumed. Everytime my stupid internet disconnect for 3s for absolute no reason, the download restarts.
Well sorry but that's where I've downloaded the files. Maybe click download and just wait...

BRAH...
Hard reset was up-down-power-down.
You have the opposite. My phone was stuck for 2hours, BRAH. 2 hours.
So sorry for that it was late and I was tired.
But did you get it to work?

Can confirm everything is fine. Thanks so much, mate. This is very very helpful.
Happy to hear that everything is working. Really sorry messing up the hard reset combination.
