The great XDA policy won't let me ask this in the interop unlock Q&A thread I frag.
ment.
I used to have FW 12070 installed (059J3G0) on an Lumia 800 (RM-801) - according to all the interop forums, the unlock is possible on HW 2.3 & FW 11412 or 11414.
So after 3 hours of trying, I now have FW 11412 installed (059M062) and I do have HW 2.3 - I achieved this using NCS which according to the interop Q&A forum should replace the bootloader.
Now when I try to check what the desktop windows say about the connected device in the OSBL mode, it say "Nokia USB Connectivity". In non of the iterop unlock forums there is no explanation to what it means - they only refer to either "Disk mode" or "Nokia DLOAD".
Does anyone know?
It's Nokia DLoad... sorry, no way to change this, for now. No one found a firmware with Qualcomm BL, so playing around with fw from navifirm is useless...

Hello all,
Ive just got a lumia 800, and i want to unlock it. Ive read about it in the forum but im really confused now.
Firstly i dont know if my lumia has qualcomm or DLOAD bootloader.When i push the power on and vol up buttons and connect it to my pc, my pc trying to install the DLOAD driver but it fails and then nothing happens, my phone starts normally.
Is that means i have a DLOAD bootloader?
So is there anyone who can help me to unlock my phone? sorry for that im a noob:SS
waiting for answers
You most likely have a DLOAD bootloader and because of that there is no known way to unlock your phone unfortunately.

the only thing you can do (for free) is a student developer unlock. there are instructions availible online on how to get an .edu email addy and everything else you need to do, takes only 5 minutes to do (plus 20 mins for your account to activate). you will be limited to 3 sideloaded apps at a time.

DLOAD bootloader
is there any way to unlock/register lumia 800 (DLOAD bootloader)?
All i want to use is Windows Phone Device Manager for WP7
Nokia Care Suite shows the 920 as a unsupported device.
You can download the firmware form RM-821 from Navifirm.
It also shows up on NCS but when I try to download it I get an error. None of the variants will download.
So, at the moment I am happily downloading the firmware variant for Telstra from Navifirm.
Once I get finish, does anyone know how to flash it?
I have a Rogers Lumia 920, which I stechnically RM-820, but neither Navifirm nor NCS have anything for RM-820.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
Want to know too
Hi,
I have the same question, I want to get it from Rogers but I want to flash it to a "vanilla" version from Nokia.
What I'm not sure is the Navifirm will have it, since its a none Symbian device.. Not sure "Phoenix tools for Nokia devices" will work either...
I would love to know that one too
Thank you.
CRAP!
Well, I can confirm that downloading a RM-821 to the Lumia 920 from Rogers (RM-820) will NOT work!
I tried, it looked like it was starting, asked me to confirm that I wanted to flash the ROM even though it was for a different product code. I said yes, it started., then BAMN. Got an error saying it was the wrong product. Now my 920 will not boot. It just stays at NOKIA. I have tried a soft and hard reset, many times, nothing. I think I am screwed until a RM-820 variation ROM is released. :crying:
Forgot to mention
There was an update for Nokia Care Suite which I downloaded and installed and it now detects the 920.

Hope you won't have to wait for too long for that RM-821 firmware to be available for download.
But I'm glad to hear that there is a version of Nokia Care Tools that can be used to flash the 920 and especially that it seems to allow flashing of firmware for a different product code no problem. I was assuming that we would have to do some renaming of files like it was necessary to flash firmware for a different product code to the Lumia 800.
I think this means that I should be able to flash my RM-821 CV Germany Lumia 920 that I'll receive in the next view days to some non-EU CV Rm-821 firmware no problem?
I think once I receive my Lumia I'll try to flash it to the CV Switzerland and hope that this will remove that stupid EU imposed volume cap that I'm pretty sure the Germany CV will have.
Regards,

The new version of Product Support Tool for Store 5.0 that recognizes the 920 is 2012.44.5.3
However, there are no RM-820 roms right now.
Is it possible to extract/backup the rom from a working device?

I guess he probably downloaded the latest version from here http://www.seidea.com/category/nokia-care-suite/ and then used the Programs built-in auto-update feature to update it to the latest one.
Why take the risk and flash since the device is unlocked and you can get the US marketplace in a simple workaround?

Its not the locked thing, its the splash logo of ATT or Rogers that will drive me crazy.... its more the branding than the lock thing.
Although, I prefer it will be unlocked and unbranded, it might take a while till we see it around, I can't wait that long

Which variant of the ROM did you flash? Switzerland, Sweden, etc...?
Is there a way to change some files to modify the product code of your device before flashing?

Are you referencing to me? If so as I said I want to flash my Lumia to a non-EU firmware to get rid of that stupid EU imposed volume capping.

Because it's not the US marketplace I am interested in. It's getting tethering to work.
Of course in hindsight, I should have waited until there were RM-820 ROMs available :|
Thankfully I still have my Lumia 900 with MMS and tethering working.

Australia. Not sure, however it's too late for me to change file names on the phone.
I tried changing the .vpl file to say RM-820 instead of 821 but then I got an error about the signature being invalid
I am hopeful that when AT&T releases their phones on Friday then RM-820 ROMs will be available.
Hi!
I would like to know if a EU ROM flash Will be enough to make the hardware available to reach the LTE 800 and 2600 frequencies instead of a US ROM That reach 700 and 2100. In France, the LTE (4G) is for the 800 and 2600. If i buy the 920 in us I won't be able to receive 4G due to this differences....
Thx

Hi all, below was posted on another forum if this helps. The chap successfully flashed his 920 with different firmware. It didn't unlock his phone but he did not try renaming the sim lock file to the same as his current which I think somebody needs to do.
Download & install Nokia Care suite
Download DC_template_development_v4.bin and place in the "C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-821" directory (or wherever your care suite set itself up for)
Install "WinUSB Drivers<architecture>.msi" from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers" (assumes x64 PC)
Run Nokia Care suite then run Product Support Tools
Connect the phone and let it be detected
Boot the phone into testing mode
Open device manager & find all the unidentified devices (check by unplugging and re-conecting the phone) there were about 8 for me.
Right click on each one and update the driver manually, show all hardware and select "Nokia phone"
From Tools, Firmware Downloads search for "059R075" and download files
When downloaded open "RM821_059R075_1232.2110.1244.3_035.vpl" from the packages folder
Edit line 12 (<ProductCode>059R075</ProductCode>) with the code for the EE firmware (059R1W4) so the line reads: "<ProductCode>059R1W4</ProductCode>"
Turn the phone off and then on while holding the up arrow. You should get to the Nokia boot-loading screen (Nokia logo with a cog)
Then choose "programming, Recovery" from the product support tool
Choose the downloaded image & click Start.
If you get a warning about being unable to connect to the phone do what it says and unplug the phone & power it off (hold both volume buttons and power for 5 seconds) then plug it back in.
Keep your fingers crossed for 5 minutes...

I wonder what the Rogers Lumia 920 Product Code is ?? Perhaps if I had that I could just edit the vpl of a RM-821 ROM and get it to work.
Can anyone tell me what the product code is?

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

This tutorial might be helpful:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-...8-on-Lumia-Devices-from-NaviFirm-314617.shtml
"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.
Hello! Recently there has been a talk about a certificate for a bootloader for lumia 800... As I understood, it is supposed to be an obsl file, and 11501 firmware in navifirm has it, and as I remember it was supposed to have quallcomm bootloader, right? Can it be the file we need?
