Tried today to debrand my Vodafone italy Lumia 800... the flashing with Nokia Care Suite stops at 50% and the phone stuck in flash mode.
The last Nokia Care Suite (2011.51.2.63048) can't flash RM-801 in dead mode so i shat my pants.
Reading the care suite docs carefully i've found this:
Code:
Recovery Flashing enabled for RM-817
So after few tries i've found the right way:
Create a RM-817 dir under \Products folder, like this:
then copy RM-801 firmware files in RM-817 folder:
Now open the Care Suite and select the right model (RM-817):
Select Recovery:
Select the correct flash file, remember to use always the latest version, check on "Data package manager" for updated firmwares.
follow the instructions on screen:
When you are ready connect the phone holding the volume up button and let the care suite do his job:
After few minutes:
Good find!
Can you read your product code after this recovery procedure? Maybe with this procedure it actually gets changed to the debranded product code. Thanks for checking.
Fantastic guide. Thanks a ton for this guide.

Yes, it changes because if I select "Refurbish" the nokia care suite automatically selects the unbranded firmware.

Are you sure? So it selects the unbranded firmware [which you didn't rename to fit your branded product code]?
If so then you have just found a way to truly debrand the Lumia 800 because with the refurbish option it won't change the product code. That's why for refurbish flashing you needed to rename the files.
With the product code changed your device is just like an original debranded phone, so it should be updateable using Zune without a problem (this may have been a problem with the previous method).
Nice!

As you can see, the firmware in the RM-8XX folder have product code 059L820 (RM-801_CV_IT_SWU204940_Black_v2)
The phone originally was 059L705 (RM-801 Vodafone IT IT VAR204289 black V3)

This is very nice
Great discovery but no Nobel vote from me. Product code is the same than was originally.
Oh sh1t syvakma1 is right. I've installed nokia care suite in virtualbox (@home i'm on a mac) and the product code is the Vodafone's one. Dunno why "Refurbish" worked with no brand firmware
sorry but i can't flash using care suite...
i have grayed the function "recovery"
if I go on "multi software updater" i see RM-801 not supported...
whyyyy ??!?!?!?!??
thanx to everybody

Thanks to this method I managed to restore my UK T-Mobile Lumia 800.
Flash failed trying to refurbish original T-mobile black rom (updated via Zune to .1500) RM-801_059L7H0_1600.2475.7720.11414 with Nokia UK black RM801_059L7C2_1600.2483.8107.11501.
Didn't capture the error, but it complained about something already being on the phone..
i cant get past the part where you have to unplug the phone, power off, plug in again and power on with volume up... do you have to continue pressing the button till the phone vibrate? i don't get it...
my intention is to get rid of the demo content...
What is the need for debranded firmware? Sorry if that sounds dumb, however im new to this whole scene. Been in iOS for ages so time to start learning.

To use your phone on another carrier, or to get updates faster. Because if your phone is branded by let's say T-Mobile, you have to wait untill they push an update. Eventually every carrier has to push an update (so it's not like on Android) but with a debranded phone you're just sure you get it when it's released and not months later. Last advantage: you don't get all the crappy apps that carriers include
Hi guys I have been following XDA Developers for years and I love it I have found many useful tips and tricks in my time from hear over at the Android forums and now I would like to share my first post with you all not only as a thank you but also even though the nokia WP 7.8 upgrade is close I was impatient like many of you and wanted it now I read lots of threads about using navifirm+ etc and renaming files but in all honesty I think my method is easier and quicker and cuts out a lot of confusion hope somebody finds this as useful as I did.
All you will need for this Update is Nokia Care Suite.
PLEASE NOTE THIS METHOD IS FOR UPDATING YOUR ORIGINAL PHONE AND CARRIER
For Example..
Before Update your phoneis running on Vodafone WP7.5, - After Update it will be Vodafone WP7.8 (carrier locked)
Before you start get your phone code pop your sim tray out and check the code by the Barcode/QR label it should be seven digits mine is 059N8H6
Write yours down and then put the sim and tray back in the phone.
Right lets get started
We need to find a decent version of Nokia Care SuiteThis I found a little hard as a lot of the downloads are full of bloatware/spyware however this is the one I used. softpedia.com/get/Mobile-Phone-Tools/Nokia/Nokia-Care-Suite.shtml ( as a new user I cannot post the Link)
You may need to update some windows components mainly Microsoft net framework 4.0 and all that is available including the extender. you may even need to update c++ redistrubutle to be able to install Nokia care suite. however Nokia Care Suite will tell you what you need.
Download and install Nokia care Suite this will take a little while and after it is installed you then install all Drivers in C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers some will not be compatible that is normal.(my system is win7 64bit)
After all drivers have been installed you can then Open Nokia care center . you may have to go to your program files and open the Nokia Folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Application Launcher\bin application launcher then right click and run as administrator.( I had Too)
once it has loaded you will have a menu double click “Product Support Tool For Store 5.0” you will see a picture of a disconnected phone and cable Click File and “open Product”
Find or type into the filter RM-801 . YOU SHOULD THEN HAVE 1 RESULT this is Our Nokia Lumia 800's click open and you will now see it on the screen (left) with the disconnected cable and phone. connect your phone so that the phone drivers get installed (after install you can leave it connected)
check that in the bottom corner their is a Globe lit up saying online it should be. then click Programming at the bottom left of the window and select Recovery. a new field will appear on screen saying Properties and you will see three boxes. Code, Variant Name and Version.
Click into the Code box and type your 7 digit code from the sim card tray you wrote down and click find online.a Box will open and lots of firmwares should appear within the popped up box in the Code section again type your code and that will give you your specific update to WP7.8
Click download and wait until it has finished after it has downloaded then click update list it should appear in the properties boxes. (if not just select tools from drop down menu and click Downloads and then double click the file)
Then Just highlight the Firmware file and click Start The software will then take over and instruct you to turn off the phone( if it is still connected) after you have done this then connect the phone to the USB cable whilst holding volume up button the phone will vibrate a couple of times and the drivers may instal again give it a few seconds and . press retry Thats it Nokia Care Suite is doing your Upgrade.
Sit Back and relax as Your Lumia 800 upgrades to WP 7.8 I am pretty sure this method will work with any Lumia device however I have only done it with MY Lumia 800 and therefore cannot guarantee it.
obviously I cannot be held responsible for any bricking or damage you cause to the your phone so only proceed if you are comfortable doing so.
Hope you all find this useful cheers oobritoo.

Your solution is good but has a big issue, and I will try to explain it to you.
Imagine that you are like me, having a Lumia 800 that you bought to Orange (or any other provider). Mine was an Orange France Lumia 800 that I had desimlocked officialy by them, and after this, I installed, via Navifirm, an unbranded ROM for the phone. When using your solution, as you said in your post, you must provide inside the Nokia Product Support Tool the code of your device, closely linked to your simcard (you said by yourslef that this code is located on the Simcard compartment. The Nokia Product Support Tool will then download and install on your mobile a ROM branded to the operator corresponding to the code provided.
Navifirm allows you to pick almost any rom, independantely to your code number, and by using a little trick (renaiming 3 files), to install it.
This is the biggest default of this method for someone who cares about not being branded again. If you are using a branded phone and want a firmware customized by your operator, then your solution is for sure the best one.
But anyway thank you for your post, it will help many of us I am sure.
Hi
My brother uses 0 which has Windows 7 installed in it as operating system. From the system itself, it has a built-in Bing search, not just for texts/phrases, images, videos, but for songs as well. Whenever a song is playing, the search option automatically picks up which song is being played & shows option to buy it from Windows Store.
I myself have Samsung Galaxy S 4G (1st generation) with Android as built-in operating system. Though I love Android for its variety, I just can't figure out how to do such song search with Android phones. Google is pre-installed in these phones. But Google's voice search doesn't help with identifying the song. Is there another way to do this?
Thanks!

hi the whole phone will be wiped so you will need to back-up important files.
Solution to have Bluetooth Share (preinstaled) in phone lumia 610 is to install firmware country variant Germany...and set region to Germany in phone. Tested.

Easy, you need to install the Nokia USB Drivers, located in the folder Drivers, found inside the installation forlder of Nokia Care Suite. Then your Lumia 800 will be recognized.

Does anyone know or have access to how these codes work?
I bought my 800 unlocked from a 3UK store and don't want it locking to that network as I use a different carrier. I would have thought there were generic codes for non-carrier versions....

After more than one day trying to flash this peace of crap I decided to upload the current ROM for this device.
The LUMIA from a good friend was broken and I tried to install a Firmware on this device. I was playing around with a lot of "Downloader" and other things but I was not able to download the ROM via the common download Software.
The next big surpirse was the fact that the GERMAN TELEKOM are using Polish devices and simple rebrand it with there own ROMs.
Anyway, now here are two links for the RM821_059Q9L7_1232.5957.1308.0001_131 ROM and I hope it will solve a lot of troubles if others are used to flash the device.
INFO:
1. This is the German ROM for devices with Product ID 059Q9L7
2. If you want to debrand your device and want to have a free device you can flash this too.
3. It doesn't matters if you have a different Product ID than 059Q9L7
How to flash:
1. Download the NOKIA CARE SUITE and it doesn't matters which Version you are using
2. Now open this path within Explorer:
TAKE CARE!!!! ProgramDATA is not Program Files or Programme (within German)
C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\RM-821
3. If this path is not existing on your PC than create the missing Folders.
Now you have two Options:
Either you download the FULL ROM and copy content into the RM-821 Folder or you copy the VPL file only which will initiate the download of the ROM.4. When you download the FULL ROM you can open Product Support Tool For Store 5.0 and you are ready to flash.
5. Press the VOL-Down & Power button and after the device will give a short Vibration press VOL-UP.
6. Connect the Phone to your PC and wait until the Drivers are installed
7. Now choose on the left side within "PRODUCT SUPPORT TOOL" Program on the Botton and choose RECOVERY
8. If you have a different Product ID you will see a notice that is the wrong ID but you can ignore it. BUT MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING A LUMIA 920 DEVICE!!!!!!
8. Follow the instructions on the Screen and lay back until everything is done.DOWNLOADS:
Now - here is the full ROM (ready to flash)

Stupid question, does flashing this removes the simlock of the device?
No ROM can remove sim lock.
please another download link like mediafire , thanks
Very interesting, going to try this for my Lumia 920.
It might be problematic tough.. its a ATT 920 (rm-820) but i live in the Netherlands and i dont have internet(3g,4g) with the ATT rom.
The APN/internet settings are coded in the rom or something.
So.. i am guessing by flashing to this German rom, i can set my APN settings?
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.
I am getting this error while trying to use the RM-821 rom on a RM-820 ATT 920.
Any idea on how to fake or spoof the RM, so i can install the german rom?
you have to use pre-portico rogers rom first...it's mentioned so many times here in the forum

Hi guys, I've Lumia 920 white.
I've flashed my device with the amber software given links here.
But it is originally french version.
As I'm from India, I want Indian ROM to flash my device again.
So can you guys please suggest me if can I do it and if, then how??
My phone's current status is given.
most easier way is for NSU for retail... app detect Lumia product code and download ROM for you...
http://nds2.fds-fire.nokia.com/fds_fire/1310/0909/7297834135/NokiaSoftwareUpdaterForRetail_4.1.0.exe
also you can download and flash ROM with NCS
Thank you, dxdy for your reply and also for your help.:good:
But I want to know two things
1. As I'm from India & using a french ROM. So can I update it to black version and will it create any problem in future??
2. I had a direct link from this site for downloading the AMBER ROM. Can I get this type of any link to download the original ROM[Indian ver.] to flash my 920 again.
1. should not be a any problem
2. NSU retail will download appropriate ROM by Product code (Indian) of your Lumia to your PC... check settings in NSU where is saved...
if you know product code of your Lumia, you can also find ROM by yourself on internet or download with NCS, but NSU is faster and easier way
Thank u "dxdy" for your response..
I will try with this with NSU and if any problem occurs, then please help me again..
Ok..
and one more thing I want to ask you, can this present french ROM in my 920 create problem for me if I try to update it over the air?

1. should not be a any problem
2. NSU retail will download appropriate ROM by Product code (Indian) of your Lumia to your PC... check settings in NSU where is saved...
if you know product code of your Lumia, you can also find ROM by yourself on internet or download with NCS, but NSU is faster and easier way
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This method will work if the Hard Product Code is Indian...
then i apologize, sorry... i forgot your Lumia not Indian...
you need NCS then....
product code for white India Lumia 920 is 059R2B9...
download NCS here

@dxdy
Why complicate when it can be easy?
I do not know if you saw, but there is a tutorial on xda already dealing NCS and DPM... Why not use it?
And more with the latest versions of softwares, then you are not the latest versions.
And this thread, has the screenshots.
Okay, so I'm trying to revive a dead l800 that is just stuck on the Nokia screen. I believe it's repairable as it goes into flash mode etc but when I search for product code RM-801 and try add firmware to start the process it does nothing, i looked in the files and it shows the firmware is there for RM-801 and RM-817 but it just does nothing.
anybody any ideas please
