Hello guys,
I'm new to wp7.. I recently bought a lumia 800 and tried to unlock it by installing the certificate and then running the wp7unlocker on pc (with Zune running in the background).
An error pops up each time stating that i make sure that the phone is connected using usb and the zune software is running. I googled it many times and still haven't found a solution.
I have installed the latest 12070 update via Zune and haven't flashed the phone or done anything else.
Awaiting a prompt reply.
The free Chevron unlock never worked on the Lumia 800. You have either to use the official Chevron method (which is currently not availably) or unlock your phone via AppHub. If you are a Student you could try to get a free dreamspark unlock.
More information
Does anyone know if its possible to change the product code on a Nokia Lumia 710?
Does anyone know what Zune checks for when looking for updates?
I have a T-mobile Nokia Lumia 710 demo unit with product code 059L3R1. I was able to download and flash "RM-809 T-Mobile Black 1600.3007.7740.11465" from NaviFirm to remove the demo software. However, it won't find any updates on Zune.
I assume its because of my product code. I guess I have three options that might work.
1) Changing the product code might fix the updates
2) Find a backup with the latest updates for a stock t-mobile 710
3) Find the links for all the t-mobile cab updates
Can anyone help me with any of these solutions?
Followed this and it found an update! lol what a joke.
Try this is Zune says your phone is up to date.
turn the phone into airplane mode.
check in zune for an update if it says its upto date click ok, the press one above or below the update option.
next click update and around 2-3seconds disconect from your internet conection, hopefully it will say update available, reconect click ok, and sit back
Ive just done this for my 710 and its updating now.

I was able to flash it to the firmware you specified and it updated to Tango through Zune, no other thing was done to enable this.
Just one question for you... are you able to get the unlock code by calling T-Mobile for this device? I'm asking because I'm curious if they have an unlock code for a Demo Device... I have previously unlocked a retail 710, I'd appreciate your response.
Hi, how I can install official ROM 7.8 discharged with Navifirm without losing the ID, i.e., without using Nokia Care Suite

could you be a little more specific... what do you mean without loosing the I.D? if you mean without removing all apps etc, then it's not possible at this time. I would doubt that it'll even be possible when the update is pushed out next year.
if i understand

I think he wants to say how to find "the product code "in order to install an official rom without Nokia Care Suite.

Does it matter which color to use? I have lumia 800 cyan and want to use German firmware, but there is a firmware for any but cyan(( Can I use a firmware for a black phone?
Nevermind, I used german black firmware and everything worked flawlessly.
Sorry for my bing translation, see that not is understood well, anyway now I have solved that problem, thank you for your interest, but now I have another question, see if I can help, where you extract "amss.mbn" and "emmcboot.mbn" of a lumia 710 of the files downloaded from the navifirm

"For that, you will need to go to C: \ ProgramData \ Nokia \ Packages, and create a new folder labeled “Products.” Make a new folder inside it, name it as the specific model number of your device (e.g.: RM-801 for Lumia 800, RM-808 or RM-823 for Lumia 900, RM-803 or RM-809 for Lumia 710, etc).
Inside this folder, place the Windows Phone 7.8 ROM that you have previously downloaded through the NaviFirm Plus application. According to plaffo, it should be in this folder: “\ NaviFirm + 1.7 \ Fw \<product code>”."
Lumia 800 developer unlock
Hello! I updated firmware to 7.8 and now I cannot register for a developer unlock, windows phone developer registration doesn't see my phone. By the way, Zune does recognize it but when I connect the phone a message shows up that states that it cannot connect my phone to the internet though I still can sync my phone with PC, and syncronization really works. I tried to reinstall the firmware couple of times, made hard reset but no luck. It either rebooted after disconnection from pc or did stuff like now. Has anyone experienced the problem? Other than that everything is great.
hi there,
i have a Nokia l800 with DLOAD bootloader, so no dev unlocked phone . yesterday i've read an article about updating my phone.
so i was going to update my phone also. no update in zune but i saw that i could update it with Navifirm and NCS.
i followed every step, downloaded the rom. made a map C://...nokia/products/rm-801, but when i connect my phone to NCS when its off
it supposed to be recognized by NCS. but i get a message with: data packes could not be connectent or something like that.
is the problem that i have DLOAD or just that im doing it wrong.
Marijn
That's definitely not a DLOAD problem -- I've got a phone with the locked DLOAD bootloader, and I've installed loads of different ROMs via Nokia Care Suite.
I must admit though, I don't know what *is* causing your problem.
MarijnV look bottom right corner of your NCS-update window if its in offline mode....if so change it to online.
Hey everyone!
I've checked for weeks now on Zune for the Windows Phone 7.8 Update. and have resorted to using the navifirm method.
It's factory unlocked from nokia, RM-803.
I've done everything correctly, but Care Suite 5.0 just gives me a 'Software Status: Not Upgradable' message. The refurbish page has the 'Start' button greyed out and I'm unable to flash ANY firmware file at all.
Does anyone have a possible work around to this? Or am I locked on 7.5 forever?
Read a few threads you`ll find a few ways up updating to 7.8
This is probably the easiest for updating
