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.

get one from ebay, only 10 quids lower than average price.
now the phone keeps stuck in demo mode .
basically i can not use facebook and i will see the demo flash again and again when charge the phone. also it may ask for resetting sometimes.
how to get rid of it ? the seller answer really slow and now it is chirstmas,
it is very hard to return for a quick refund now.
i was told some of HTC users met the same problem and solve it by renew the rom
anyone know where can i get one for nokia ?
any answer will help
thankyou and merry chirstmas
Try to flash an original rom into it
The Demo's are only put on there via Nokia themselves as there is no way to flash the software yourself, i know this because i deal with demo handsets, chances are you have a stolen handset my friend, as far as a i know there is no way to remove the demo content as it would be easily removed by customers in the shop, even if you do manage to find the demo content, you may even be prompted to enter an operator password, maybe not!?
See if theres an update for your phone, or try to find a task manager where you can switch off apps, but i'm guessing you won't be able to remove it and the update may even leave the demo content intact, i would personally speak with the seller if they're not co-operative then i would leave feedback reflecting that and maybe even speak with nokia themselves, being the good eggs that they are they may just give you a new one.
Alternatively you could brick the device and send it back to nokia claiming that it's a dead handset, you may / will need proof of purchase so again, speak with the seller and see what can be done, but if it's a hot handset then i'm afraid your **** out of luck on that one.
You may not need a receipt so maybe speak with an engineer first to see what can be done, it's a young phone so should theoretically be covered by some sort of warranty, worst case scenario is that it is stolen and nokia know about the phone, you send it off, they check on it and they retain it and your out of pocket.
Best case scenario, you speak with nokia, they exchange it for a new one, but i guess you'll have to take a risk to find that out.
Good luck m8.
Hi there , I've got the exact same problem since a few days. (new phone, bought on ebay , nothing but demo-mode even after the 3 button reset)
But I found this after several hours of searching...
It's all legal and all the programs are freeware.
Needed:
The flashprogram 90Mb : phoenixslayer.blogspot,com
The original OEM ROM Nokia Firmware Downloader : code.google,com/p/navifirmex/
in this Nokia Firmware Downloader: select option and choose server , then "Nokia Care Suit"
The Nokia Lumia 800 is found under the code name: RM-801 and there are 3 firmware releases.
'
The latest Nokia Lumia 800 version at this very moment is : 1600.2479.7740.11451
This also can be found in the list of Navifermex.
Select your country and download your OEM firmware automatically.
Note: it's large.. app. 435 Mb.
I haven't flashed my Lumia yet because , it's in the store for research. ( maybe it's a stolen phone or defective. this way I can nail the german seller , with help from ebay and paypal )
But hopefully I can help some people with their Demo Content Nokai Lumia 800 problem.
Good luck and hope to succeed.
Greeting from the Netherlands.

To remove the demo content you have to flash your device with a ROM from a device that has no demo content in it. You can use official Nokia ROMs (you get them with the NaviFirm program) or the unofficial ones that are posted around this forum (as I'm pretty noob on this, I went with the official ones)
Check my link above, where I describe the steps to do it, and provide an additional link to a step-by-step guide to download the ROMs with NaviFirm and flash with Nokia Care Suite.
Good luck!

i joined this forum by looking to this thread and tht some people have really fixed it
i am having the same issue so someone please tell me how to fix this problem ....
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
Sent from my Lumia 710 using Board Express
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!!!

You already have one ATF box and testpoint.
There is no way to replace the bootloader without one that is signed or via testpoint. (Same as with 2011 Sony Ericsson's)
Even if you managed to get interop unlock or full unlock you won't be able to replace the bootloader from that.

Its 100% possible, though it will cost a lot of time and skills. The hardware is not diffrent then hardware used in Android Phones.
There are people working on a port of HaRET, back in the days of Windows Mobile this software was used to boot into linux/android from wm. Topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22229756
@crimpy1 is it hard to find such a shop? Do they all use ATF or just some?
I looked on ebay but the ATF device is just to expensif.

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 .

Alright, your first mistake is trying to "upgrade" your Nokia Lumia 710 to android. You can't load any android ROM onto any recent WP phones unless ported and loaded through the Windows Phone Internals program thanks to Heathcliff74.
Second, you need a ported version of android that is compatible to the Nokia Lumia 710 in which I am highly positive there is no port out there yet.
Third, it'll be a while before there's a port for android that's available for Windows Phones, especially recent ones. The Windows Phone Internals program was only recently released and Android wasn't built for Windows Phone specifications.
To fix: Try the Windows Device Recovery Tool (unable to share link because I'm a semi-new user)
READ ALL OF IT, THERE'S ALSO A NOKIA SOFTWARE RECOVERY TOOL IF THE WINDOWS DEVICE RECOVERY TOOL DOESN'T WORK
Finally, if your device isn't a developer phone, then I'm sorry and in order to load another ROM, you'd have had to unlock your phone, in which VOIDS ALL WARRANTIES, in which you could TRY to return it to the retailer that you bought it from and ask them to fix it, but I doubt it because your warranty was broken.
I hope I've helped in any way.
