Amber Rom Lumia 920 (euro1 dev version) - Nokia Lumia 920

Hey guys,
I was reading allot of info on the web about windows phone and the amber update and stuff.. but never a solid release date.
so the amber update is going to be released in this august, and this info is coming from some guy in spain via twitter..
so we are not sure when this update is going to be released. (ok it hasj been released)
but i have recently installed the amber update like so many others, and the update is really good, adding allot of new features that anyone with a lumia should be able to enjoy.
since windowsmania.pl doesnt offer the roms anymore (and i dont speak polish) and the amber roms aren't available through Nokia Care Suite, it could be quite difficult to obtain the roms and the necessary files & info to install this update on your phone.
i put together a few steps that will help you install amber. (especially when you never did this before!)
also this is mostly for the europian users with a Lumia 920.
please note that i will not be responsible of your own action on flashing a phone!
like only start flashing with a full battery!!
and make backups before you start! your phone will be wiped clean!
(go to settings for backup options, wp8 can make all the backups you want!)
Downloading the right files & setting this up:
step 1.: download Nokia Care Suite --> also known as NCS --> get it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?aww6lix9f0vuukd or http://d-h.st/IvF
after download install NCS.
(UPDATE: you can also update NCS itself by clicking updates in the NCS main menu.
by doing this it will also automatically install every necessary driver. so step 2 isnt really needed.. but you still need to do step 3 because it will give you acces to the update itself!!)
step 2.: download the drivers here: http://d-h.st/Mc3
install the files and reboot the pc after installing!
(includes 64bits drivers and 32bits drivers, if you don't know which one you should use, you can better stop reading from here )
step 3.: go to: C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Product Support Tool For Store 5.0 and find the usergroupsconfiguration.cfg file.
replace it with this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?r0up8y7tyku1k11 or http://d-h.st/GFW
thanks for the config file go to Jragar
(it will give you acces to Care Suite External)
Step 4.: download the rom here:
part 1: http://d-h.st/JgP
part 2: http://d-h.st/2JG
part 3: http://d-h.st/h17
(its the RM821_3047.0000.1326.2002_RETAIL_eu_euro1_425_02_240539 with product code 059R4H6) thanks for the rom goes to: blakepender
Note: i used the rom on my Dutch Lumia 920 with code: 059R016. it still works like a charm and i still have product code 059R016. so i dont think it will change your product code. (but im not sure!)
drop all files from the .rar into: C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-821.
if you dont have this folder yet. create it and then put all the files in there.
Identify the phone:
Step 5.: plug in your phone, while the phone is on, so your pc can detect it. After the phone has been found by your pc, start NCS.
double click on the "Product Support Tool for Store 5.0", it will promp you for username and password, just press sign in.
If all went well, NCS already found your phone and it will give some info about it. like that it will be running in normal mode.
Step 6.: In the Product Support Tool (PST) click on "File" --> "Open Product". A new window will appear. go to "RM-821" click open.
Step 7.: Now click on "programming" (Bottom left in PST) --> "recovery". After this click on "update list" the rom file should appear.
if not check if you put everything into the right folder. (step 4).
Start Flashing:
Step 8.: Click the start button once! it will give an error. This is good! (its because it has an different product code, but it will be fine)
please note that it can take a few minutes before PST gives a "recovery - failed" notification. please be patient. press ok after you get it.
Step 9.: Now unplug your phone, and power it off. Hit the Start button once again. PST will give an error that it can't find your phone.
It will show you the option how to start your Lumia 920 in flash mode.
Step 10.: Start your phone by pressing the power button + volume down button simultaneous. when the phone starts the vibrate. plug the phone back in to the pc, and press the "Retry" Button.
Give it a minute and it will start flashing your phone.
You know its going ok if you start seeing the nokia logo with a progress bar on the phone.
Please while the phone is flashing, dont touch anything.. if it gets disconnected somehow your phone can get bricked..
When the flashing is done it will reboot and it will start wp8 with amber.
Please keep in mind that it will take allot longer to boot the first time because it has to configure allot of things.
Your phone will start and ask you what language you want, just follow these steps, after this you will have the amber update up and running!
After a few hours to possibly 2 days (tnx Mikemikeson) with wifi it will give a notice that you will have like 10 or more updates pending. do this updates to get all amber features!
like sms + call blocking.
Hope these steps will help some folks that just cant wait to get Amber and didnt knew where to get the right files.
Good Luck!
p.s. this was done on a windows 7 pc and was confirmed working on windows 8.

I flashed my unbranded Lumia 920 product code 059R075, with this one. I can confirm that this is perfectly done. No problems so long as you follow the instructions.
Cheers for the links and the instructions OP.
Update: Persian/Farsi Keyboard and Speech are missing in this build. I am not sure about all other languages though.

I honoustly don't know if it will work.
you can try i though. when you have PST running with your phone connected, you can look for the latest rom file available for your phone.
under "tools" click on "firmware download" type in your product code, which can be found under the basic info tab. it should show the latest available firmware for your phone.
it will be non-amber, but atleast you have something to turn back to if it doesnt work in the end..
so download this rom first before you start flashing and you should be able to try it out without any consequence.
otherwise check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44504258
its about putting amber on AT&T Lumia 920.
so good luck!

Just to confirm that this works perfectly on Windows 8 PRO x64. Thanks for the info

Fix missing languages
Instead of adding keyboard, simply change the system language and you will automatically get the desired keyboard. Your languages persist should you revert back to English or any other system locale.

Thank you for this info, i did not know. im transfering the files as we speak.
it should be available within the hour.
Sorry for the inconvience

Flashed this last night and it is working beautifully, I have noticed since installing this WhatsApp, Skype and Lync are pushing messages through much more efficiently and I have found my battery still has 40% charge after being used all day, usually by this time I would be at about 15%.
For other people that flash, check out this page here for all of the QR codes for the Nokia system apps.
Use the Bing Vision on each of these QR codes to force the updates down.
Thanks for providing the ROM and Instructions, much appreciated.

if anyone can give me a hand, Click start > get initial error. Power off, hit start, get prompt to but it into flash mode, power on with down arrow and power button, hit retry get error
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.
on my ATT 820, I know it's a different device, just wondering for those few who got it working on the ATT variant, if there was something else I needed to do .
************ Edit ************
Well, I guess I never flashed it to portico, and I don't see a copy anywhere so I guess I'm waiting on the official 820 variant. But thanks

i have an unlocked 920 (i think it is RM-820)... will this flashing method work for mine as well?

you can check with NCS to make sure if its really a rm-820. just look for basic info in PST.
also it should work but it will change it to rm-821. and im not sure what that will do for your provider. Probably nothing.
maybe if you check the lumia 920 dev section on this site, i know there is a topic about changing from rm-820 to rm-821.
im on a holiday in greece on a tablet so i cant search for link now. good luck and i hope you wil have amber soon!
