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 ??!?!?!?!??

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
I had on the phone 1600.3013.8107.11502. Then I update to 1600.3015.8107.12070. I did it by the refurbish option in the NCS. One month later i wanted to flash on 1600.3030.8773.12120
When i plug phone, the computer detected it other than ever. I saw Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM and removable disk with question about formatting. I clicked cancel but NCS does not detect the phone. My computer couldn't install driver for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. I tried it on others computers but on all its the same, i can't flash this ****. I was looing for solution on others forums but no one can help with this.
Thx for answers.
You have the Qualcomm bootloader. NCS does not recognize this bootloader. I f you want NCS to recognize your device, you will need the NOKIA DLOAD bootloader. However, the Qualcomm is the unlocked one, so depending on your preferences, you can leave it on the Qualcomm. With the unlocked bootloader (which you have) you will only need an other flashing method. Those can be found on the forums here.
I tried to restore nokia dload bootloader with NSS Beta but this program says my phone dosn't have qualcomm loader...
Looking for phone...Done.
Device: RM-803-NOKIA Lumia 710
Battery status: 91%
Changing phone mode...Done.
Looking for NAND disk...Not found.
Are you sure you have development Qcom loader ?

If you have this error, please check if the phone restarts in this step or just
stays in Normal mode (windows screen). There are some software versions that
will not respond to the OSBL change command. So just try to flash different
version (via .nb file) and try again.
The other option is the manual restore(hex edit), but its really risky if you don't know
what are you doing.
The problem seems to be caused by version mismatch between the OS and the
baseband firmware. Here the solution and more info.
I also has a problem like: "Are you sure you have development Qcom loader"
when trying to flash rainbow mod FW by lucifer to my lumia 710 using NSS pro v0.48. Does anyone has a same problem with me? all steps that told in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620629 i already been followed. but still i can't flash the FW mod, FYI I already succeed in installing FW with qualcom bootloader before using NSS pro.
Cheers
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.

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

Question..will flashing the phone help me unlocking it and be able to use it with FIDO canada?
Any help..suggesting would be useful..

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?
hi there,
i have a Nokia l800 with DLOAD bootloader, so no dev unlocked phone . yesterday i've read an article about updating my phone.
so i was going to update my phone also. no update in zune but i saw that i could update it with Navifirm and NCS.
i followed every step, downloaded the rom. made a map C://...nokia/products/rm-801, but when i connect my phone to NCS when its off
it supposed to be recognized by NCS. but i get a message with: data packes could not be connectent or something like that.
is the problem that i have DLOAD or just that im doing it wrong.
Marijn
That's definitely not a DLOAD problem -- I've got a phone with the locked DLOAD bootloader, and I've installed loads of different ROMs via Nokia Care Suite.
I must admit though, I don't know what *is* causing your problem.
MarijnV look bottom right corner of your NCS-update window if its in offline mode....if so change it to online.
Hi everyone, It is 2020 but i still love my lumia 920 windows 10 insider preview,
Many days ago i tried to roll back to windows 8.1 using WDRT but it got failed a few per cent.
when i tried again it showed in device manager as NOKIA FLASH and could not be detected in WDRT. i tried to click "My device is not detected" but detected as Unknown Manufacturer, after awhile it started to download the packages for my bricked lumia 920. but after clicking INSTALL SOFTWARE the process ended with failure.
i tried to flash using WPinternals but this is lock bootloader so i could not flash it.
tried to find many forums and websites but i got nothing.
i love my lumia 920 and want to revive it back.
Please anybody help me to fix my bricked lumia with red screen?
many thanks for everyone.
