The great XDA policy won't let me ask this in the interop unlock Q&A thread I frag.
ment.
I used to have FW 12070 installed (059J3G0) on an Lumia 800 (RM-801) - according to all the interop forums, the unlock is possible on HW 2.3 & FW 11412 or 11414.
So after 3 hours of trying, I now have FW 11412 installed (059M062) and I do have HW 2.3 - I achieved this using NCS which according to the interop Q&A forum should replace the bootloader.
Now when I try to check what the desktop windows say about the connected device in the OSBL mode, it say "Nokia USB Connectivity". In non of the iterop unlock forums there is no explanation to what it means - they only refer to either "Disk mode" or "Nokia DLOAD".
Does anyone know?
It's Nokia DLoad... sorry, no way to change this, for now. No one found a firmware with Qualcomm BL, so playing around with fw from navifirm is useless...
Sent from my Lumia 800 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
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?

Thank you.

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?
I got a Nokia lumia 710 during a Christmas present drive for charity. I tried to unlock this lumia so that I can used it oversea. I contacted T-mobile and the customer services placed a request with manufacturer for the unlock code. 2 days later, I was told that it cannot provide me the sim unlock code.
How could I do sim unlock on this phone?
I have upgraded the rom from 7.8. Can I download the boot loader to qualcomm and reflash it to 7.8?
hi there,
i think you need atf box to sim unlock your lumia 710.
but i'm not 100% shure.
Hi, it may be too late, but I just did this myself and it worked like a charm. All I did was follow the steps on this guide. The whole process took a minute or so.
All you need is the Qualcomm bootloader. I had the "Issue #1" that was mentioned, but the solution that was provided worked fine for me. Once the phone booted up, I just put in my new SIM card (the one that needs the unlock to work) and entered "00000000" and it worked perfectly.
Hey, i've been looking around the net on a way to flash my DLOAD lumia.
Didn't find anything pointing out i could do it, besides something about cyclonebox or something.
My question to you XDA community - is there a way to flash my Lumia 800, lets say DLOAD to QUALLCOM or something like that?
