[Nokia Lumia 920] Deptcharge:
Hey guys,

I was reading allot of info on the web about windows phone and the amber update and stuff.. but never a solid release date.

so the amber update is going to be released in this august, and this info is coming from some guy in spain via twitter..

so we are not sure when this update is going to be released. (ok it hasj been released)

but i have recently installed the amber update like so many others, and the update is really good, adding allot of new features that anyone with a lumia should be able to enjoy.

since windowsmania.pl doesnt offer the roms anymore (and i dont speak polish) and the amber roms aren't available through Nokia Care Suite, it could be quite difficult to obtain the roms and the necessary files & info to install this update on your phone.

i put together a few steps that will help you install amber. (especially when you never did this before!)

also this is mostly for the europian users with a Lumia 920.

please note that i will not be responsible of your own action on flashing a phone!

like only start flashing with a full battery!!

and make backups before you start! your phone will be wiped clean!

(go to settings for backup options, wp8 can make all the backups you want!)

Downloading the right files & setting this up:

step 1.: download Nokia Care Suite --> also known as NCS --> get it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?aww6lix9f0vuukd or http://d-h.st/IvF

after download install NCS.

(UPDATE: you can also update NCS itself by clicking updates in the NCS main menu.

by doing this it will also automatically install every necessary driver. so step 2 isnt really needed.. but you still need to do step 3 because it will give you acces to the update itself!!)

step 2.: download the drivers here: http://d-h.st/Mc3

install the files and reboot the pc after installing!

(includes 64bits drivers and 32bits drivers, if you don't know which one you should use, you can better stop reading from here ;) )

step 3.: go to: C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Product Support Tool For Store 5.0 and find the usergroupsconfiguration.cfg file.

replace it with this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?r0up8y7tyku1k11 or http://d-h.st/GFW

thanks for the config file go to Jragar

(it will give you acces to Care Suite External)

Step 4.: download the rom here:

part 1: http://d-h.st/JgP

part 2: http://d-h.st/2JG

part 3: http://d-h.st/h17

(its the RM821_3047.0000.1326.2002_RETAIL_eu_euro1_425_02_240539 with product code 059R4H6) thanks for the rom goes to: blakepender

Note: i used the rom on my Dutch Lumia 920 with code: 059R016. it still works like a charm and i still have product code 059R016. so i dont think it will change your product code. (but im not sure!)

drop all files from the .rar into: C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-821.

if you dont have this folder yet. create it and then put all the files in there.

Identify the phone:

Step 5.: plug in your phone, while the phone is on, so your pc can detect it. After the phone has been found by your pc, start NCS.

double click on the "Product Support Tool for Store 5.0", it will promp you for username and password, just press sign in.

If all went well, NCS already found your phone and it will give some info about it. like that it will be running in normal mode.

Step 6.: In the Product Support Tool (PST) click on "File" --> "Open Product". A new window will appear. go to "RM-821" click open.

Step 7.: Now click on "programming" (Bottom left in PST) --> "recovery". After this click on "update list" the rom file should appear.

if not check if you put everything into the right folder. (step 4).

Start Flashing:

Step 8.: Click the start button once! it will give an error. This is good! (its because it has an different product code, but it will be fine)

please note that it can take a few minutes before PST gives a "recovery - failed" notification. please be patient. press ok after you get it.

Step 9.: Now unplug your phone, and power it off. Hit the Start button once again. PST will give an error that it can't find your phone.

It will show you the option how to start your Lumia 920 in flash mode.

Step 10.: Start your phone by pressing the power button + volume down button simultaneous. when the phone starts the vibrate. plug the phone back in to the pc, and press the "Retry" Button.

Give it a minute and it will start flashing your phone.

You know its going ok if you start seeing the nokia logo with a progress bar on the phone.

Please while the phone is flashing, dont touch anything.. if it gets disconnected somehow your phone can get bricked..

When the flashing is done it will reboot and it will start wp8 with amber.

Please keep in mind that it will take allot longer to boot the first time because it has to configure allot of things.

Your phone will start and ask you what language you want, just follow these steps, after this you will have the amber update up and running!

After a few hours to possibly 2 days (tnx Mikemikeson) with wifi it will give a notice that you will have like 10 or more updates pending. do this updates to get all amber features!

like sms + call blocking.

Hope these steps will help some folks that just cant wait to get Amber and didnt knew where to get the right files.

Good Luck!

p.s. this was done on a windows 7 pc and was confirmed working on windows 8.
