[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
I just received my Lumia 920 yesterday, so now I'm playing with this again. Did you go into the install folder and install the drivers manually? I needed to do that to get Care Suite to recognize the phone totally. Fuze saw it, but not the Support Tool. Now, I'm able to go into TEST mode and run Diag Tests. It's pretty cool!

Here is a picture of my screen in TEST Mode. Not sure if it works on the 900 or not???

PS: I'm running Windows 8 64bit. I installed the driver called 'WinUSB Drivers x64' found in the Program's 'Drivers' Folder.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
TEST Mode on PC: Remember, these are on the 920, NOT the 900

Care Suite Update: Now Ver 5.0 2012.45.4.5

Data Package Manager: Always ver 2012.18.0 ^^
[Nokia Lumia 900] NairobiWP:
I am also running Win8 64 Bit, as well as the latest version of Nokia Care Suite. I installed the WinUSB X64 driver from this location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers

I actually have uninstalled/re-installed the drivers several times but still no dice.

When I try to complete the Nokia DEAD USB flash option (power down devices, hold VOL up button and insert USB cable), I get a message from Windows to asking me reformat my Storage deivce (which I always cancel). After that, the phone is still not recognized.

@#$DGF does not even come close to describing this fustration.

I do appreciate your patient help SuperSport. Hows life with the 920 so far? I have had 2 friends that had to return their brand new 920's because the device locked up (device only shows a spinning gears icon).
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
That is ODD. I wonder if the USB Port on your 900 is having issues. Maybe ONE pin is not connecting or something. I'm not really sure at this point... Have you tried another cable just to be sure? Or, it could be internal on the phone. Does it still connect to Zune ok?

I've been fortunate with the 920. It DID freeze for about a minute the first day of use, but it came back on it's own, so I can only assume it was doing some background update or optimization or something... It has not happened since. I LOVE the phone so far! SUPER FAST and Responsive. Photos and Videos are GREAT as expected. It's strange to see the Optical Image Stabilization at work in front of you. I've watched it on video, but when you do it yourself, you can really see the difference.
[Nokia Lumia 900] JamesAllen:
No Test Mode

I am running WINXP, I have the latest Data Package Manager and Nokia Care Suite successfully installed. The Product Support Tool and Fuze detect the phone and present the phone information in the right hand pane, my firmware is up to date according to the tool. I do not have a "Test" mode. Anyone know why? It detects my phone as an RM-808, the ATT US version of the Lumia 900.

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

Sorry for a second post, but when I try to launch the Data Package Manager I get a box that indicates it is connecting to the remote server, but nothing actually happens. I am direct connected to the internet through a home router, not going through a proxy.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
First: Test Mode MAY only be on the 920, I have no way of knowing for sure without a 900 to test.

Second: I'm wondering if your firewall software is blocking it? The first time you run it, the firewall may have asked for permission to allow it. If it's not that, I'm not sure what to try next. :(

Does it work with bricked Lumia 900

Hi, I am trying to fix my GF's Lumia 900 which is bricked. It turns on but does not go past the Rogers splash screen. After a while it turns off again. It was working fine but when trying to update it failed somewhere in the process and has been doing this ever since.

Can I use this method to unbrick the device? Does the phone have to be booted up (at WP home screen) for this to work?

Can the Nokia Care Suite identify this phone when stuck on splash screen, in my PC?

Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
Again, I don't have the 900 anymore, but from what I've been reading from other posters, I'd tend to believe it WILL recover her phone. It will be a matter of getting correct drivers and flash mode enabled on her phone.

I just re-flashed my 920, just because, and it was tricky getting it all to work, but finally, it did so. I had to restart the phone while holding all different key combinations, then all of a sudden, the flash took.
[Nokia Lumia 900] kushki:
Thanks for the info. What do you mean by the correct drivers and flash mode? How do I enable the 'correct' flash mode on the phone?
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
I don't remember, and I believe the 900 & 920 are different.

There were some earlier posts of people flashing Dead Phones if I remember right. They can likely help more than myself.

Can somebody who's successfully flashed a dead phone give some help here? I'm sure many others will benefit from this in the future also.

PS: On my 920 I had to flash it when Product Support Tool was set to No Connection, then a combination of key presses. I believe vol down and power, but might also have used camera. I was tired and not paying good attention...
[Nokia Lumia 900] Greenarcher707:
How do I connect my lumia 900 to the suite? It doesn't recognize my phone.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
Did you install the Drivers as shown in the video? Also, in the video, be sure to allow the programs through the firewall, including Fuse. Open Fuse, and it should ask for Firewall Permissions.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
Here is a video showing how to flash a BRICKED Lumia 920. I wonder if this can be used in some fashion to help the 900's??? Thanks Loc-Deu for the tip, and thanks codenamegeek for the video.

[Nokia Lumia 900] norgan:
Buold 8558 now on Nokia Care Suite

Dudes, it's up! EU mostly but a bunch of roms ready with 7.8!!!
[Nokia Lumia 900] whistler-nl:
Thanx, just flashed the 7.8 rom. I'm setting my device up again now so i hope this update will bring what i expect from Nokia.
[Nokia Lumia 900] norgan:
I'm disappointed that the new features under settings have not been brought in but the look and feel is nicer and my phone feels so much bigger now!
[Nokia Lumia 900] mikeycl:
Could someone be so kind as to recommend which 7.8 ROM would be safe to use on a UK Black SIM Free Lumia 900 RM-823??

at the minute i am guessing the RM-823 VAR EU NO CV BLACK but not willing to do so until i get a second opinion
[Nokia Lumia 900] norgan:
Give it a shot, you can always flash a different one if it's not going so well. The main thing is the frequency bands as these vary and are enabled by the rom.

I loaded a Finnish rom and I'm in Australia and its working well.

Worst case is you reflash another ;)
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
I hear there's a firmware update that drops after the OS update. That's likely where the settings will be changed...
[Nokia Lumia 900] iceman198:
Do tell which ROM works!...I have the 900 black.

Thanks.
[Nokia Lumia 900] norgan:
Iceman what country are you in and what carrier. Also so far this is only for the rm-823. So long as the bands for your carrier match up then you can use any of the listed roms. I took the Finnish v4 rom for example on Optus in Australia. (note it starts in Finnish but not hard to change to English on the first couple of screens on the setup wizard)
[Nokia Lumia 900] iceman198:
Thanks for the reply. I thought it might be the 808 (I'm in the US and use AT&T) but some threads say 823...which is which?

Thanks for the help.
[Nokia Lumia 900] norgan:
Do you have Nokia Care Suite? just fire it up, connect your phone and it will tell you what model it is ;)
[Nokia Lumia 900] iceman198:
808 it is then...but how do I know if one of the 808 roms is actually 7.8?

---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 AM ----------

Hmm...my firmware matches that of the latest in the rom list for 808....am I out of luck? the 823 won't work? =*(
[Nokia Lumia 900] whistler-nl:
Software version of 7.8 is 2175.2905.8858.12480 (for the Netherlands) The 8858 number should be in it as the software is updated to 7.10.8858.136
[Nokia Lumia 900] mikeycl:
Norgan thanks for the response the reason i asked about that one (RM-823 VAR EU NO CV BLACK) is in the phones about dialog it states my carrier as CV GB SW ID501 v02, just for reference I am using O2 UK.

if you reckon my choice is a good bet i think i'll give it a go tonight.

whats the brickability potential if it is the wrong one??
[Nokia Lumia 900] Mattycee:
I am hoping someone can help me.

I am looking at updating my nephews Lumia 900 with the 7.8 rom and will use the Finnish Rom as I am in Australia and my nephew will be using Optus as well so that is covered. The issue I am having is that my Windows 8 machines refuse to see the Lumia 900.

Every 8th or 9th time Zune will see the Lumia but the Product Support Store does not see the phone or on the odd occasion Zune actually sees it, it shows as USB1: Unknown product and refuses to allow me to flash the firmware.

It will keep coming up with the instructions telling me to remove the USB cable, power down the phone and press volume up and resinsert the USB cable and then click retry. I do this and all it does is then bring up the same screen again and again.

I am not too sure what is happening but I want to update this phone before I give it to my nephew for Christmas so am hoping I can get some assistance.

I appreciate taking the time to read this and hope one of the brains here can help!

RM-823 v RM-808 and dead phone flashing on Windows 8

Yeah i'd wait if i were you, they are different hardware.

Chances are very low as they are all the same hardware. I'm in australian on optus and my carrier says Finland CV

1. Untick auto detect device and open product to do a dead phone flash.

2. check device manager and ensure the nokia usb connectivity comes up (see attachment).

3. if not check the nokia care suite install directory for the drivers and install them.(see attachment). I don;tone recall the exact one but it's either the highlighted one or the last.

4. (be in the flashing mode via volume up while inserting USB not booted into Windows).

It's fiddly but you'll get there and the drivers are listed in the directory pretty clearly.

I'll see if there is a guide on this somewhere and if not i'll try write one up. (see attached screenshot)
[Nokia Lumia 900] Mattycee:
I followed it the first part and it did the same thing. I guess the drivers are not correctly installed, what should it show in device manager if they are correctly installed?

Sorry for some reason only 1 image showed up but now I see all 3. I will attempt it again and advise.

Thank you very much for your help so far!
[Nokia Lumia 900] norgan:
Yeah sorry was kind of building a min guide on the fly. I had the same problem and the steps provided worked for me.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Mattycee:
I have just rebooted with 7.8 and changed the language to English. I gotta say it scared me right at the end as the progress bar did not move a mm for ages, then it just went to the end and rebooted. I was worried for that time that I had bricked the phone.

I really appreciate the help you have given me as I have been trying to get this to work for so long that I was going crazy!
[Nokia Lumia 900] norgan:
No problems Matty, I hope your nephew enjoys his new phone. (Don't forget to hit the thanks button on the post if it helped you)
[Nokia Lumia 900] jfd107:

Product Support Tool for Store OFFLINE (Recovery command unavailable)

Can anyone help me?

I'm trying to update my lumia 900 (uk unlocked) to 7.8 but the the "Recovery " service is greyed out. The Nokia Care Suite recognizes my phone rm-823), I have downloaded the appropriate rom package with the Data Package Manager but the Product Support Tool for Store is always "offline": both the lower right corner icon says "offline" and the command on the "File" Menu has "Offline" ticked ad is greyed out (I cannot change it". Again, the "Recovery" command on the "Programming" Menu is greyed out. The only command available there is the "Refurbish" one. How can I turn the "online" and the "Recovery" commands on.

Thank you in advance.
[Nokia Lumia 900] HumanXv2:
Having a problem finding the Nokia Care Package. The link in OP doesnt seem to work. Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
I just verified the links are still working. Unfortunately, due to it being FREE hosting, you have to jump through hoops to get to the download. Click the link, and wait a few moments while the download links load at the bottom of the page. Scroll down and select a provider to download from. I prefer GameFront due to it's VERY fast download speeds.

Again, due to being FREE hosting, you WILL get popups and such. Just close those and continue with your download. Be careful what download buttons you click. There is a LOT of advertising hidden in those sites. This is normal for FREE hosting sites, and you will soon become familiar with what to click and what not to click. Good Luck!
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
Did you follow the Video? Did you allow the program through the Firewall? Did you install the Drivers? Did you use Open Product in the File Menu? Do you have the program set to Online as shown in the Video? Watch the Video from 9:30 forward. Are you on Windows 8? If so, you need to install it differently as described back a few threads.
[Nokia Lumia 900] J Fortes:
Thank you SuperSport for the reply.

Yes I watched and followed the vídeo, and think I did everything accordingly. I am using Windows 8 pro 64bit. whe I first installed the NCS I believe I said yes everytime the firewall question came up. The NCS sees and recognizes my phone as lumia 900 (RM-823). it sees the 7.8 package that I downloaded. The only issue is that the "recovery" command is greyed out in the Programming menu. Also I cannot change the "offline" status to "online" on the lowed right corner and on the file menu of the Product Support Tool for Store 5.0. I beieve that if I could change the "offline" status to "online" I would be able to flash the ROM. Is there anyplace (registry) outsider the program where that can be done?

Again, thank you for your assistance.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
Did you modify the Windows Registry so that you could install Care Suite as Administrator? I found that was the only way to get it working properly in Windows 8 64Bit on my machine.

Please Read THIS POST for instructions on how to do that.
[Nokia Lumia 900] J Fortes:
Yes, I followed the instructions on the post you mention. I uninstalled NCS and installed it again as Admin. Only that this time there were not those user control questions. I installed all by itsel and the same situation remains. The recovery command is not available and I can´t change offline to online on the Product Support Tool. The "offline" may have been hard coded some place (registry?).

Thank you again for your patience.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
Have you verified that the Product Support Tool and Fuze are both allowed in your Firewall?
[Nokia Lumia 900] J Fortes:
I have done it! my Lumia 900 has 7.8! I noticed that the Product Support Tool version I had did not have the Preferences command on the File menu, so I installed an older version (NCS 5.0.2012.12.5.3) and all went on flawlessly. Thank you, again
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
That's GREAT news! Thank you for letting us know. That's strange the new version did not work for you, but maybe this will help anyone else having trouble.

Also, from now on, I'm going to direct people to this site to get the Care Suite and all the older versions.

Unlocking an AT&T Lumia 900 by flashing a ROM from a diffrent Region?

Cheers.
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
No. You can not flash anything but an at&t rom to an at&t Lumia 900. At&t is giving the codes out, so you'll have no problem getting one with a few minute phonecall. If you're outside the US use Skype or Google Voice to make the call. Skype is free to 1-800 numbers.

[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
Are you using the method to Cross Flash? Read that page, and take note of the possibility of trashing your radio bands using this method.

This goes for everyone. Please be careful and take note that flashing ROMs to your Lumia is an out of warranty thing to do. Nokia may not cover your phone for damage if it's been flashed from anyone else but them. You also run the risk of bricking your phone, so you do it at your own risk. With that said, again, enjoy! :)

no "USB dead phone flashing" option after install...

I've installed the care suite and the data package. I have a Lumia 900 that is continuously rebooting, never getting past the "rethink possible" screen. when I go to the product support tool, it of course does not recognize that the phone is connected. I go to file and select Open Product, choose rm-808 for the lumia 900. I choose the programming tab at the bottom, and choose "recovery". I am able to download the correct firmware for the black 900. However, once I have it downloaded and showing, there is no option for the "USB dead phone flashing".

I've read just about the entire post, but don't see anything. the video shows nothing about recovering a bricked phone, though the post says it can and the pictures show that option. Am I missing something? Desperate...
