Just wondering if there are any guides out there that I can use to flash my new Vodafone UK branded Lumia 920 to either Telstra or unbranded?
I am with Telstra and the phone correctly supports the 3G and LTE network, but I just want to change it from Vodafone branding
.
Is it the same process as flashing a Lumia 800? Using Nokia CareSuite and if so can someone please post the links to all the software needed?
I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you have a Lumia 920? The reason I ask is because a Vodafone UK variant of the 920 doesn't actually exist. The only networks that are selling the 920 in the UK are EE, Orange and T-Mobile.
I'll vouch for it being a 920. I saw the Vodafone Lumia 920 red models on Mobicity a few days ago. I imagine that's what this person got.

Mobicity only sell unlocked and unbranded phones. They don't sell network branded phones or act as a middleman selling contracts for the networks. They 920 they are selling is a SIM free unbranded one for £599.95. As it is at the moment the only networks allowed to sell the 920 in the UK are EE, T-Mobile and Orange.
Because I'm a layman, I believe a little backstory for all of the other laymen helps to understand the issue.
I bought a new Lumia 920 unlocked with the RM-821 firmware from Best Buy. So I when it arrived, I threw my AT&T Lumia 900's SIM into the 920, called up AT&T to make the swap and it was working. The problem I have since discovered is the RM-821 variant does not use the same bands as an AT&T-branded 920 running RM-820 firmware, which means I cannot get LTE on my new unlocked, unbranded 920. Neither do i travel the world nor live outside of North America, so it's stupid for me to be running a ROM that cannot access my carriers LTE bands.
I've read through several threads on here and elsewhere researching the topic. Other than failed attempts to revert back to RM-820 from an RM-820 AT&T device after converting to RM-821, I have not found any definitive answers .
Is it possible to go from a factory flashed RM-821 Lumia 920 to RM-820 AT&T firmware? Thanks to everyone ahead of time for your responses.

The only ATT (i.e. RM-820) I've been able to load back onto my phone after loading a rogers ROM is the ATT Dev Rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425722
that's a little more involved than what I did, but I can confirm I have the ATT Dev ROM, and was not able to load standard 820 roms
Any other thoughts?
I'd like to know if anyone has experience going to 821 to 820 on an unbranded phone.
Hello everyone I have an AT&T unlocked Lumia 920 but can not use the sharing internet option because it asks me to go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611 which is not possible since I am using a south America carrier "Claro". Any one has any suggestions as to how to make this feature work?
Back in the old days I used to have Orange SPV and O2 XDA phones. I hated the carrier branding. So I then started to buy the unbranded, international phones.
Do the Lumia 920 and 925 have carrier branding on them? I see on eBay that some are locked to a carrier and some are unlocked.
Do carrier locked phones have carrier branded firmware?
Do carrier locked phones have branding on the case?
If they don't have branding on the case, can carrier branded phones be flashed to the generic Windows Mobile and allow any sim?
Thanks

My 920 was originally locked to EE and didn't have any carrier branding, no logos, no carrier apps. The only thing you could see was in the "about" screen where it said the carrier was EE.
I've seen Vodafone 920's on ebay that have a Vodafone boot screen.

Thank you!
On ebay, there seems to be more carrier lumias than unlocked... Ill have to hang on the right one.
There seems to be a gap in the market for a mobile phone swapshop! My gs4 mini is worth about £200 and so is a Lumia 925. But I have to sell one and buy another
