I have a problem regarding the update of my lumia 800. I bought via ebay a lumia 800 from germany but know i am using it in portugal with vodafone. The phone i think is unlocked but is branded to vodafone germany as the product code is the one from germany as it i can see in the nokia webpage support. There i can see that there is an update available for my device "059L701" but via zune its just says that my device as already the latest firmware. Currently i have the 12070 firmware and i don´t know why it won´t update. Can it be because i am using vodafone portugal as carrier and not vodafone germany? And how do i know if the phone is factory unlocked or was unlocked by some sort of firmware?
I have an unlocked United Kingdom Variant phone I am using in the USA on T-Mobile, so similar issue.
Try the disconnect trick on Zune, but make sure both your Cell data and Wifi are both turned OFF, or it won't work.

O2 variant(germany) using in India
Hello,
I am from Portugal and because I am an early adopter I bought my unbranded nokia Lumia 920 in Clove UK. But now, all portuguese Lumias have 4G enabled in my network (TMN) and I have not. The highest option in definitions is 3G.
Can you please help me on what ROM I should flash unbranded with 4G enabled? I don't understand very much of the ROM names. I have RM-821_eu_euro1_276, with Operator Name 000-GB and configuration ID 118847 (what is this?). I have Portico 1232.5951.1249.1004.
If I flash a ROM will it stop future updates?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Joao
I have just written up a tutorial, which should help you flash a different ROM on the device.

So I bought a Lumia 800 of someone and it's supposed to be unlocked. Unfortunately he packed the box by wrapping it in tape so the bar-code sticker is unreadable. My simcard gives the error "This Simcard can only be used on a specific network. Contact your Customer Service centre for the unlock code". But the problem is that under phone information the carrier/privder being listed is "Norway SW VariantID 430 v.05". It doesn't list a carrier but only a country as you can see. What does this mean?

or search for a little phone's repair shop in your city/town, which have ATF flasher box. With that box, you can sim-unlock your Lumia 800
I bought a Lumia 920 about a week ago but its from the ukraine (im from germany) and its running 8.0.10211.204. i cant update it from the phone and there doesnt seem to be a newer version available on nokia care suite. is it still possible to update it? will i have trouble getting updates later for it, like blue? should i return it and get a german version instead?
its unlocked and its carrier is "Sw variant Adriatic CV v511.01"
Hi there,
Recently I've stayed in US for a short trip and I bought to my sister an AT&T Lumia 520 gophone. I did sim unlock but I want to unbrand the phone also.
The phone has RM-915 ID, I have found Spanish country variant (EU ES CV) but only for RM-914. Could I flash the phone with rm-914?
I tried this afternoon with Nokia Care but I got an error about signatures of the fw. I use "normal" mode, and I want to ask before use "dead phone" mode and brick the phone.
In case that I cant flash with rm915 I will flash to AU CV or IL CV (Israel) to unbrand the phone, but that will be a pitty becasu she use a mvno and au or il fw probably don't include Spanish mvno mcc... and shows always as roaming...
Thanks,
regards, iker
