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

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.

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 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.
I have an Omnia W, with the original version 7.5 I used the WindowBreak.
After the update to 7.8 via the Zune the WindowBreak stopped working on my Omnia W.
I did the procedure again, I accessed the site, select WindowBreak Diagnosis using, but I can not unlock.
Something else must be done to use the WindowBreak with 7.8?

Samsung patched the exploit that WindowBreak (and Heathcliff's interop unlock) used back in the KK2 update, which most people got along with Tango. There's really not much that can be done about that. As always, I strongly recommend against updating your device through official channels without verifying what the update may do to your unlock status.

Hi everyone, It is 2020 but i still love my lumia 920 windows 10 insider preview,
Many days ago i tried to roll back to windows 8.1 using WDRT but it got failed a few per cent.
when i tried again it showed in device manager as NOKIA FLASH and could not be detected in WDRT. i tried to click "My device is not detected" but detected as Unknown Manufacturer, after awhile it started to download the packages for my bricked lumia 920. but after clicking INSTALL SOFTWARE the process ended with failure.
i tried to flash using WPinternals but this is lock bootloader so i could not flash it.
tried to find many forums and websites but i got nothing.
i love my lumia 920 and want to revive it back.
Please anybody help me to fix my bricked lumia with red screen?
many thanks for everyone.
