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

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.
why you dont flash with NSS
i´m portuguese to and i dont receive update to
but i´m download FW from United Kingdom Variant TANGO
and its work very well

O2 variant(germany) using in India
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?
i had the same problem
i bought lumia 800 (SIM free in UK) and used it on lyca mobile.
when i returned to india, when i installed airtel/vodafone it is not allowing.
Carrier: CV GB SW ID222 V08
After some googling... i found out that my phone is "Unbranded and Unlocked", GB version phone
i think it works only in that region..

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
Is there a way to debrand the 920 from Vodafone?
Bought one yesterday after 5 years of using android to try something new. It seems it has a Vodafone ID number, updated to the latest version RM-821/1038.007. No simlock though and allthough everything is working fine i would like to now if there is a way to flash a unbranded firmware version.
Hi,
You alwasy can remove branded apps and the only branding left will be boot logo.
You can try http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f60...ting-care-suite-download-1660094/#post9434277 to flash using RM-821 VAR EURO1 DEVELOPER DEVICE BLACK 059R4H6 which is dev device without any branding.

I was allready able to delete all Vodafone apps and everything works fine. I think i leave it as it is, only the Vodafone logo shows when booting and off course the Vodafone ID.

Funny, I had the same thing with my previous WP 7 phone, an HTC Titan. On first use it booted in German, and after some research I found it was from Austria from a stock sold by a Vodaphone subsidiary Vodaphone had to divest itself from. But apart from the Vodaphone logo on boot it was not only non-simlocked but not customized as shown by the firmware version number.
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,
I just bought a lumia 920 branded ATT from USA, i live in France so i try to put a different rom on it.
So i've tried to use NCS to replace the current rom RM-820 to a new one that i've downloaded : a french RM-821,
but that doesn't work and i don't know why : when i'm in ncs, it's show me the current version of the lumia, but in "new software version"
that tells me not available while i've put my rm-821 rom in a folder rm-820 in products folder.
Can someone help me ?
it is possible to do the switch between ATT rm-820 to RM-821 fr? if not, can i put an unbranded rm-820 rom at least?
Thanks a lot in advance (and sorry for my poor English)
can someone help me please ? :'(

But i have another question, I have another lumia 920 at&t which is unlocked, if i debrand it too, will it still unlocked ?
Thanks in adavance

it'll be unlocked no matter what firmware you install. I had locked AT&T and after unlock I tried different roms, but be careful when updating from RM-820 to 821 if you update rogers pre-portico via OTA to portico you won't be able to return to RM-820 anymore see there are many threads here about the steps.
Thanks ok so i will flash it too,
But i don't understand why someone would return
from rm-821 to rm-820, there is any disavantage to have the rm-821?
