Hello guys,
Is there any way I can install an older ROM over my current one? In the Care Suite it says Not Upgradeable.
just use the programming -> recovery method
put the older firmware in the folder C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-82x\ (x depending on your model)
then start nokia care suite -> product support tool -> file -> open product -> select product -> programming -> recovery -> update list
you should then see the old firmware and will be able to flash back to pre-portico

After more than one day trying to flash this peace of crap I decided to upload the current ROM for this device.
The LUMIA from a good friend was broken and I tried to install a Firmware on this device. I was playing around with a lot of "Downloader" and other things but I was not able to download the ROM via the common download Software.
The next big surpirse was the fact that the GERMAN TELEKOM are using Polish devices and simple rebrand it with there own ROMs.
Anyway, now here are two links for the RM821_059Q9L7_1232.5957.1308.0001_131 ROM and I hope it will solve a lot of troubles if others are used to flash the device.
INFO:
1. This is the German ROM for devices with Product ID 059Q9L7
2. If you want to debrand your device and want to have a free device you can flash this too.
3. It doesn't matters if you have a different Product ID than 059Q9L7
How to flash:
1. Download the NOKIA CARE SUITE and it doesn't matters which Version you are using
2. Now open this path within Explorer:
TAKE CARE!!!! ProgramDATA is not Program Files or Programme (within German)
C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\RM-821
3. If this path is not existing on your PC than create the missing Folders.
Now you have two Options:
Either you download the FULL ROM and copy content into the RM-821 Folder or you copy the VPL file only which will initiate the download of the ROM.4. When you download the FULL ROM you can open Product Support Tool For Store 5.0 and you are ready to flash.
5. Press the VOL-Down & Power button and after the device will give a short Vibration press VOL-UP.
6. Connect the Phone to your PC and wait until the Drivers are installed
7. Now choose on the left side within "PRODUCT SUPPORT TOOL" Program on the Botton and choose RECOVERY
8. If you have a different Product ID you will see a notice that is the wrong ID but you can ignore it. BUT MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING A LUMIA 920 DEVICE!!!!!!
8. Follow the instructions on the Screen and lay back until everything is done.DOWNLOADS:
Now - here is the full ROM (ready to flash)

Stupid question, does flashing this removes the simlock of the device?
No ROM can remove sim lock.
please another download link like mediafire , thanks
Very interesting, going to try this for my Lumia 920.
It might be problematic tough.. its a ATT 920 (rm-820) but i live in the Netherlands and i dont have internet(3g,4g) with the ATT rom.
The APN/internet settings are coded in the rom or something.
So.. i am guessing by flashing to this German rom, i can set my APN settings?
0xFA001304: Platform ID check fails. Reason(s): The FFU file is not meant for this product. The platform ID of image does not match with platform ID of the device.
I am getting this error while trying to use the RM-821 rom on a RM-820 ATT 920.
Any idea on how to fake or spoof the RM, so i can install the german rom?
you have to use pre-portico rogers rom first...it's mentioned so many times here in the forum

Soy de Peru
I'm from Peru
I have Nokia Lumia 920 and I would like to change its firmware using Nokia Nokia Care Suite - Product Support Tool For Store. Problem is that I have to install firmware with another product code. I have get new firmware with NCS (Tools-Firmware download – with new product code). After downloading firmware and restarting NCS it display tool tip in bottom right corner “Data Package Selection Error”. After clicking on it I have message that “Data package selection failed. Access is denied. Verify creditionals”. When I change NCS to work offline the Refurbish windows says that there is no new softrware and Recovery option says “Recovery failed – Unable to get error message”. How can I update firmware?
check file names... you see product codes in 5 files... try change this...
Hi guys, I've Lumia 920 white.
I've flashed my device with the amber software given links here.
But it is originally french version.
As I'm from India, I want Indian ROM to flash my device again.
So can you guys please suggest me if can I do it and if, then how??
My phone's current status is given.
most easier way is for NSU for retail... app detect Lumia product code and download ROM for you...
http://nds2.fds-fire.nokia.com/fds_fire/1310/0909/7297834135/NokiaSoftwareUpdaterForRetail_4.1.0.exe
also you can download and flash ROM with NCS
Thank you, dxdy for your reply and also for your help.:good:
But I want to know two things
1. As I'm from India & using a french ROM. So can I update it to black version and will it create any problem in future??
2. I had a direct link from this site for downloading the AMBER ROM. Can I get this type of any link to download the original ROM[Indian ver.] to flash my 920 again.
1. should not be a any problem
2. NSU retail will download appropriate ROM by Product code (Indian) of your Lumia to your PC... check settings in NSU where is saved...
if you know product code of your Lumia, you can also find ROM by yourself on internet or download with NCS, but NSU is faster and easier way
Thank u "dxdy" for your response..
I will try with this with NSU and if any problem occurs, then please help me again..
Ok..
and one more thing I want to ask you, can this present french ROM in my 920 create problem for me if I try to update it over the air?

Why complicate when it can be easy?
I do not know if you saw, but there is a tutorial on xda already dealing NCS and DPM... Why not use it?
And more with the latest versions of softwares, then you are not the latest versions.
And this thread, has the screenshots.
So my problem is that I bought this phone from China, and the software that was put in it is the version (STF-L09C432B120) and it doesn't find updates. Do you know if I can put another version which will download the 8.0 update ? I am really worried that I might brick it.
Thanks in advance
I'm new here btw
Edit : does anyone here know how to unlock the boot loader ? Because I assume that I'll need to do that if I can install another ROM. (Yes. I am now aware that Huawei and Honor do not support it anymore.)

Try updating with Firmware Finder which you can find in google store. If it won't work, connect your phone to pc and try updating with HiSuite app
To unlock bootloader try this but i dont know if its going to work on chinese software.
1. go to https://emui.huawei.com/ and log in with your HUAWEI ID
2. go to UNLOCK page and get your unlock key.
3. In settings of your phone search for HDB and enable that option.
4. go to settings > system > about phone and click few times on compilation number to enable programmer settings.
5. go back to settings > system > programmer settings and enable USB debugging and unlock OEM
6. download HiSuite, connect your phone and make Backup of everything that you need (unlocking bootloader wipes everything on your internal storage)
7. If you cant connect your device, try to do this https://ph.answers.acer.com/app/answ...er-enforcement
8. download this zip and extract on your desktop. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1A0...qqUYv-NnXWi5vD
9. inside the folder hold SHIFT and press right click and click open power shell here.
10. type .\adb devices
11. type .\adb reboot bootloader
12. type .\fastboot oem unlock [your unlock key]
13. Press volume + on your phone to select YES and than power button to confirm.
14. Now your bootloader is unlocked and your phone will do the factory reset.
Update straight to C432B183 fullOTA-MF with androidapp 'Firmware Finder'.
Doing that, you won't mess your capacitives buttons and should be able to get normal oreo ota then.
It's told Firmware Finder doesn't work anymore since ~3months ; You'll have at least to try.
If not working, there is a C432B130 service repair firmware available for nougat. It flash in firmware mode (dload) and it need an usb-otg or microSD exfat formated.
---------- Post added at 21:21 ---------- Previous post was at 21:19 ----------
& Once on C432B130 you'll get the ota normally.
Still. I don't have a boot unlocker. And are you sure it won't brick it ?
Sure.
What do you mean by sure ?
Sure, i'm sure it won't brick.
I bought mine from an online seller that stated that it is China version that flashed to Global rom. However my system update is stuck at 12.5.062 with no updates available..
Any idea?
ROM updates get rolled by OEM / Carrier only if they deem it necessary.
I had the same issue and did the following:
1- download Rescue and Smart Assistant for windows.
2- Enable developer option through settings
3- in the Developer options , enable USB debugging
4- Install run the Rescue and Smart assistant software and connect the phone.
5- Choose the Rescue option to download latest software update
6- Ensure your phone model number matches the OS being downloaded , in my case it is L70081
7- follow instructions on the windows Rescue app software and it will guide you through.
Note: make sure to backup your device so you don’t miss any critical data.
In my case this process worked successfully!
good luck
Is this global update? Or cn?

Not sure how to check this but I couldn't see any Chinese word during or after the update. The phone is Chinese and pre-flashed with global ROM by the retail unit. So the update itself with phone rescue did not change anything in the interface so I guess it remained Global as well. Moreover, I couldn't see neither Chinese apps nor keyboard or any other indication stating china version anywhere. Everything works perfectly and I could see enhancement to the camera focus which is good as well as the security update from Feb to March The only indication this works is that the OS version: updated to (12.5.090 ST) .
Hope this helps !
12.5.648 up to date now for cn

Hey hhda, do you have to unlock bootloader to do this?
Will it wipe all the data or just update the phone?

I haven't try it yet, but based on the reply from lenovo official comm.(refer to the attached picture), it will delete your data. so make sure you backup everything, before you commit the upgrade through this method.
