Has anyone successfully flashed a US T-Mobile branded RM-809 with an RM-803 8107.12070 image like they claim on WPCentral? If so, which ROM did you use, and have you noticed any issues? Any improvements?

I have about a week's worth of patience left for an official T-Mo update before I say to hell with it and do it myself. I just want to make sure that there are no major issues or abnormalities that will arise from using an 803 image on an 809, especially since they are all country variants from overseas, and I'd most likely be stuck with it till something newer came out.

Does anyone know how to debrand the 710 with a windows 7 x64 laptop?
[Nokia Lumia 800] BlackMage23:
Hello,

I'm tring to debrand a 710 that is currently on 3 UK. Currently has 11502

Tried a few of the GB country updates but just get "Signature verification failed" when doing refurbish or recover.

What am I doing wrong?
[Nokia Lumia 800] theworldisavampire:
Good to hear! Are you on T-Mo or Rogers? Are you getting the same 3G speeds as before?

Thanks for the reply and sorry to have as many questions as a 4 year old lol. Just want to make sure of what I'm getting into before I jump in with both feet.

Installation of Nokia care Suite 5.0

I am in the process of trying to install Nokia Care Suite 5.0 on a Windows 7 x64 enterprise version PC but every time I try i get presented with a box with a link stating that I require the microsoft VC++ 2010 redistributable. The link takes you to the wrong place so I installed it via the correct link and have rebooted the PC. But no matter how many times I try the same message pops up saying i require the Vc++ 2010 redistributable package. it is installed, as I can see it in Programs etc in control panel.

Anybody come across this?

By the way this is to reflash a branded Nokia Lumia 710 to an unbranded non carrier version.

Thanks.

Lou
[Nokia Lumia 800] BlackMage23:
I'm using win 7 x64 pro and not had any problem. did you downlaod the latest version from ms? I have 2010 X64 redistributable 10.0.40219
[Nokia Lumia 800] Luciano123:
Thanks for the response. I have finally managed to install it on a Vista Ultimate 32-bit PC. The question I now have is that earlier in this thread it mentioned that there was no UK variant for 11502. I have just looked and there appears to be a United Kingdom GB V2 059N2L6 variant under 11502 and also under 12070 there is a United Kingdom GB V3 059N2L6. I presume that this is a later one. Which one did you install?

Thanks

I have a little problem that whenever I try to flash (a Lumia 710) it will not go further than the steps:

The application has lost the connection with your device... perform the four steps (power down device, connect to usb while keeping volume + pressed etc.)

I perform this steps and press retry yet it still fails to go trough and comes up with the same message again.

What should I do? Do I just need to keep holding volume + all the time? Whatever I try it just keeps saying this...

Also only 2 buttons work, the recovery and refurbish, I did recovery as refurbish did not display any information.
[Nokia Lumia 800] grannyrogers:
Make sure you are following the steps correctly. See also below.

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

For persons de-branding lumia 710 RM-809 model. When following the steps mentioned in the opening post, wherever it mentions rm-803, just use your model number rm-809.

So step 5 would be: Search for 710 and click Open. RM-809

And you would create a folder called Rm-809 in c:/ProgramData/Nokia/Packages/product

If like me you did not have a 'product' folder in 'packages', create one and then create the Rm-809 folder to put the 12 ROM files in.

flashed the UK Country variant GB on my Lumia 710,(T-Mobile) (OS Version 7.10.8107.79), gonna see how that goes, great thread!
[Nokia Lumia 800] Luciano123:
Finally got round to flashing two Lumia 710's using the GB V3 country variant under the firmware ending 12070. Both phones appear to be fine.

I did notice one thing which was curious and it was only on one phone that it appeared. I had read somewhere that one of the changes in the latest firmware was having more time out options on the Lock Screen including the option of 'Never'. On one of the phones when I was setting it up from scratch after the upgrade I saw all the options appear the full length of the phone on a Black background, once I had completed the setup etc. and I went back to have a look all I saw under the timeout options was what was there originally... 30 seconds, 1 minute, 3 minutes and 5 minutes on a smaller white screen identical to the other phone. My phones are connected to my own exchange server and it is possible it has something to do with the policy to force a pin number on the phone which is set but I don't know. What do other people have in the timeout options for 12070 UK V3?

Thanks

[Nokia Lumia 800] Luciano123:
Hi,

One thing I did read elsewhere is that if you are reflashing the same firmware but say to another country variant/retail/carrier etc. it will fail. It needs to be rolled back to an earlier firmware version and then forward again to what you want on the newer firmware. I don't know if thats what you are doing.

Regards

Lou
[Nokia Lumia 800] BenzinNZ:
Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

Edit: It appears even trying to recover or refurbish using my original firmware doesn't seem to work. Just seems to not notice the phone after it reboots into recovery. (even though it mounts the drive)
[Nokia Lumia 800] mrspongebob:
Hello,

This will sound very dumb, I did this procedure but it locked my phone again, i bought it already unlocked from E-Bay. The cell is from T-Mobile.

I used a Costa Rica version to debrand, do I need to go through the full unlocking process myself? Or just going to the old ROM will work?

Thanks!

Diferent name on Windows device manager.

Ok here the deal, I can´t flash my Lumia 710 because in Windows device manager in recovery mode (Power+VolumeUP) the Lumia 710 show this in Ports, "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9006" and mount a volume in Windows, if I not wrong the corret is show "Nokia DLOAD", this is right?, there a way to change to "Nokia DLOAD"? or this is not necessary?

PS. The phone is original, I never change anything in your firmware.
[Nokia Lumia 800] gjj1056:
I have successfully debranded my Lumia 800 and I know it doesn't remove simlock. But now I have decided to have it unlocked. Since there are no local shops here in the Philippines to unlock it and none of the unlocking website services have codes for sale for the Philippines, I am still waiting for it. Will I need to reflash it back to the branded ROM to have it unlocked? Or can I just stay in the unbranded ROM and have it unlocked?

I have read somewhere that Unlocked branded ROMs get locked again after you flash an unbranded ROM. So I want to make sure that debranding first would not affect if I unlock the device in the future. I was thinking that lock codes only work with IMEI and would not affect whatever ROM version you're in, is that correct?

Thanks a lot

Thank you very much for your tutorial...

I was looking everywhereon how to flash a wp7 firmware and I couldn't seem to find it anywhere... You gave the best...

I live in Brazil and I've got the Nokia Lumia 710 branded for Claro Brasil and was stuck with mango (11502) and Zune wouldn't give me the update... Also the Nokia site doesn't show up my Product Code on the update list (059N2Z4). Now I can update it with no fear using the updated firmware branded by Claro Brasil still, version 121120, aka Tango, using Navifirm and thanks to you get it installed on my phone...

Hello,

I have bought my Lumia 710 in Brasil (where I live) and it is not branded by any mobile provider; it is identified as "Nokia do Brasil" and its product code is: 059M3Q8

I did an upgrade by using Nokia Care Suite and currently I am on firmware: 1600.3030.8773.12120

My questions:

1) Could I upgrade just looking for latest available firmware available, ignoring "Country Variant"? (I.E. by installing a Thailand or Mexican Country Variant, instead of the specific Brazilian one?)

2) How much time we in Brazil, will have to wait until the right Country Variant update will be available to be installed by Zune or even by Nokia Care Suite?

Many Thanks!

Great guide thanks (things are so much more simple these days!), but I must be completely thick because how do you log into the Nokia Suite? It's asking for a "Care Pro" login. :confused:

Lost 4g in 7.8 update

I live in the US and have a T-Mobile lumia 710. I flashed it to upgrade to WP 7.8 Ever since the maximum connection speed is only 3g, and speed tests on the phone's connection confirm I've lost my 4g capability. Does anyone know how to fix this. I believe it may be because i used a t-mobile great britain rom which may not work on the 1700/2100 Mhz. I have thought of just trying a different Rom but I am not sure which one would work in my area.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ryker1409:
Hi,

I have a NAND ROM (EnergyROM) flashed to my EU-HD2.

In this the /data is mountet to internal Mem and /sd-ext is mountet to the ext3 partition on my SD-Card.

in /data there is a symlink app->/sd-ext/app. So i mean the internal memory is not used for installed apps because of the symlink. Apps should installed directly to SD-Card.

The total memory of /data is ~212MB

Now my question:

1) why show me the GUI an free internal memory of 99MB after install some apps, even through stored on /sd-ext/app.

:confused:

Hello everyone,

I am very new to rooting but want to root my MT4G to remove bloatware and get some ICS. I read about the HTC bootloader unlock. Will that allow me to get my phone to stock android (remove Tmobile apps and Sense) and will I be able to flash ROMs after?

correct me if im wrong but that thor rom is based off asus's transformer, for whatever reason app developers seem to deem that tegra 2 tablet not the same as other tegra 2 tablets.

[Acer Iconia A500] haag498:
Other than risking your Tab by overclocking you seem to have run into a common problem wildly mixing ROMs and kernels... Do a full wipe, then install a ROM and kernel that fit together (info should be in either the ROM or kernel thread OP). If you want people in this forum to be able to help you, your best bet is to stay away from Thor's kernel, as it is in violation of the GPL and - therefore - also in violation of the xda-developers forum rules (plus we can't do a lot of research into possible bugs due to the sources not having been published).

can you actually load and save things to your sd card like photos videos etc?

i was using autodesk spb application and trying to load photos and it wouldnt let me load anything from the sd card?

does the sd card on phones just,,,act like an external hard drive on a computer,,i.e plugged in by usb but nothing is 'runnable' in that sense directly from it?

please someone direct me to the apps that let you drain sd card memory to the phone memory,,as i see alot of places saing it is augmented,,,like with the nokia n900people were saying you could put it up to 64gb.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
Just thought i would put this hear as any newbie's like me might think they know about flashing roms etc but you gotta be more careful with the SGS than any other phone i've rooted before IME...

I've always had HTC's before this first the HD2 then a Desire HD with both of those phones pretty much you can use whatever rom is on the appropriate XDA forum once you've read how to root and flash CWM...

My findings with the SGS are totally different...

I presume because there seem to be so many different versions around...

My example

Had my phone back from repair yesterday pretty keen to flash a custom rom on it, so firstly using odin i flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.3 which after reading for a while i thought was a suitable Clockwork mod...

After installing this which seemed to work i had the CWM menu etc i flashed Checkrom V4 but had issue's with the display quality grey's/blue's are really sort of washed out colours...

Tried changing the kernel with the kitchen pro but that didn't make any difference...

Also i noticed messages in recovery saying "can't mount e:" on a few lines

Rom seemed to install fine too but as mentioned above had screen colour quality issue's...

So i re-installed the vodafone original rom that came with the phone and the colours were back as they should be i then did some more reading etc and found...

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_KK5_v5.0_CWM5

and this seemed to install properly i've put this time a Miui rom on and everything so far seems fine....

I gather though you need to select the correct CWM to suit the correct version of your phone ?

And even if it looks like its installed if you get the "Can't mount" messages when you try to wipe data its not installed correctly...

Sorry if this all seems obvious to the guys in the know but coming from a different brand where every rom and kernel pretty much seems to work with each version (provided you use a miui kernel with miui etc)

you really do need to be more cautious with the SGS 2 and get the correct rom/CWM or you can cause issue's i'm wondering if sometimes physical issue's as my phone's been off for repair 3 times... fingers crossed its sorted now...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
I personally found it much easier!!

You just need to follow the instructions to the t... I personally recommend noobs to use the zerg rush exploit until they are comfortable with the phone and they have increased their knowledge. And then to flash with odin etc...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
The problem is that Samsung marketed over a half dozen completely different phones as the "Galaxy SII". Many have completely different hardware by necessity due to running on different carriers. Some firmwares can kinda work with other phones (GT-I9100 with SGH-I777 with some minor tweaks), but for the most part, you have to stick with your model number. It's not exactly rocket science, but it can get easily confusing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iromek:
I have the HTC Desire as well and the difference is that that Samsung don't lock down their bootloaders like HTC (at least the SGSII is open). Therefore you might be looking for additional instructions which aren't there, as they aren't needed. Check out the many threads that discuss rooting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
Thats what i thought but i've had issue's using I9100 CWM on my I9100 phone...

I need to specifically use the later version i posted as the 1st version that i thought would work wouldn't properly, dunno if maybe later phone's are slightly different mine is 6wks old...

Dunno thats what i found confusing.

I agree with the method of rooting the phone using Odin is easier than rooting the HTC's whats confusing for a newbie is matching up the correct roms, kernels,CWM that are 100% compatible with your phone, i presumed if i go to this section of the XDA forum "I9100 android development" that all the roms would work, but i'm finding most are making my phone's screen go funny, or at least the CWM might be not sure if the rom or the CWM bad install was to blame...
