Hi,
I have a Nokia Lumia 710 that is branded to T-mobile UK.
Is it possible to debrand it and then restore the files and setting to the phone using a back up?
Thanks
anybody?
I just unlocked my bootloader with NSS, then flashed the Nokia unbranded ROM from NaviFirm Plus using downloader.exe - everything is from this forum except navifirm, google is easy to find it
Didn't bother backing up so not sure about that

I have a T-Mobile USA locked Lumia 710, would it be possible to unlock by flashing this ROM:
1600.3031.8773.12121
059P8W2: Nokia 710 RM-809 VIVO BR Black v1 (No SIM Lock)
It seems to be built for the Brazilian carrier Vivo.
To answer my own question and for anyone else who was hoping to get a free unlock via flashing this ROM, the answer appears to be no.
I have flashed it via nokia suite and it still asks for the unlock code. I wonder why it would be labelled "(No SIM Lock)"
First of all I really want to thank you all for your work
I have a lumia 710 it was a dload bootloader I tried to downgrade it
to Qualcom bootloader via flashing older rom RM-803 , with Nokia care suite
At the beginning of the downgrade process usb cable unplugged, and the downgrade process failed
After that I did a hard reset , then the OSBL changed to Qualcom bootloader and now i can't redo the downgrade process again and i still on RM-809
plz help
Thank you I just solved the problem with one tool downloader lumia 710 , and windows online update for missing drivers , then I flashed the custom Rom RainbowMode ,
Thanks again =D
Cool. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Guys,
I was wondering has there been an update on unlocking lumia devices with the Nokia DLOAD bootloader.
I'm actually on my second Lumia 800 ( the first one being a preproduction model i got as a gift from nokia, and the second a shop bough lumia).
The first lumia i had had the Qualcomm bootloader and i was able to flash custom firmware to the device.
The second lumia i have has the Nokia DLOAD bootloader, and this is where i'm running in to issue's.
I can't seem to find anyway to debrand device.
It's currently branded Vodafone, and want the branding removed.
Anybody have any idea's or information on how to get this done?
DLOAD cannot be rooted so cant do a sim unlock too.
your stuck with it for now..and dont raise hopes for an unlock for DLOAD..pretty dead with the dev for that :/
But why the 710's is rooted?

There was a kind of exploit that was discovered but sadly just on the 710.
It was discovered on 800 , but it was an older make of 800 which had qualcomm
somone found the right osbl so it was possible to unlock 710 too...

So can we put qualcomm file in the osbl and flash everything with care suite?

hi. you can debrand a dload lumia using nokia care suit. to do that you download the unbranded firmware using navfirm and insted of puting in rm801 folder put in rm817 but dont rename the firmware. than in product support tool uncheck automatic product selection than open product and select rm-817 , them programing/recovery click on update list than with lumia turned of click on start and connect the usb cable to pc pressing only the vol up key.
if you need a more detail "tutorial" just say, but be i dont recommend doing this if lumia was sim unlocked by code as it will locked again and you will need to put the code again

I have a short question.
If I buy a Nokia Lumia 800 WITH sim-lock, can I unlock the phone by flashing a custom ROM?

He buddy, good to see you back here, still wondering what happened with your Lumia 710, ok to get back to your question it's not possible to make your phone sim unlocked by flashing a custom rom.
Greetz,
Hey Rataplan,
As you know I broke my Lumia 710. I sold the phone for 30 euros.
As i have no money I had to save for a new phone.
So I bought a Nokia E6 for 70 euros, sold it for 90.
Bought a Samsung Galaxy S(1) for 75 and sold it for 100..
Good business for me
Now I have the opportunity to buy a Nokia Lumia 800 for 120 euros. But I have to figure out if this one has a simlock or not..
I let you know and as soon I got the phone, I'll be back here
Thanks for you answer!!
Hi,
no you can NOT SIM-unlock your L800 by flashing a custom rom.
But, for being able to flash a custom rom, you need to have to swap your DLOAD bootloader to the qualcomm one.
If you do this yourself using ATF box, you can easily sim-unlock your phone using ATF as well.
If you let your L800 get bootloader unlocked in a "special store", please tell them to also sim-unlock your L800.
BUT be carefull: this sim-unlock is only a PATCH-unlock, which means if you full-flash your phone, you'll overwrite the patched amss & adsp files of your phone, which cause your phone to be locked again.
But if you stay with qualcomm and custom roms, you're fine

Hi, finally I got my Lumia 800! Very exiting haha!
But, I am too afraid to unlock and flash a custom rom again. Too afraid to brick my phone again, so I think I'm leaving it the way it is..
Thanx Lordmaxi for your information. But to go from DLOAD to Qualcomm is difficult isn't it? if I read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39508229&postcount=2
I don't think I want to go trough all that trouble..
Anyway, I'm sticking with original firmware and stuff. If I change my mind, I will be back here!!
Hi,
I want to know if you can re-install a ROM on Nokia Lumia 920, if yes how, is there a thread which details that out.
Also if i flash a ROM will that unlock my Phone? My Phone is currently locked to AT&T?
Please advice.
lock/unlock dont have anything with flashing....
for simple reflashing you can use NSU
