Personally I am waiting for custom themese and the ability to use freaking internet sharing without ponying up the extra 30 dollars US that the darn phone comes built with. Oh registry tweak where are you!?

I'd be surprised if there isn't at least an Interop unlock within a month.

Agreed. Fortunately, we've got some of the brightest DEVs in the world working on it.

Is anyone else able to install the care suite on a win 7 64 bit system? I keep getting errors that I need some x86 c++ thing installed, which leads me to believe there is no 64 bit version. Not to mention that what I've read says that you need v4 installed to run v5. Both give me the error. Any ideas?

I'm running it on Windows 7 Professional x64, and I only installed v5. When you see those errors, copy and paste (highlight/Ctrl C) the addresses to download the required files. There were two for me. Install the first one, then try to run the installer again, it pops up with another one. Install that, then try to install again, and it goes right through.
Also, after installation, you will need a USB driver for the Nokia Suite & Fuse Connection Manager. For my Windows version, I used this one:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers\WinUSB Drivers x64.msi
There are a bunch in there, but this worked for me. If that does not work for someone, try another. I'd suggest this one for Windows 7 x86:
C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers\WinUSB Drivers x86.msi
Believe me, NOBODY is more excited than I am to find this, and find it works on Windows 7 x64. Now, I can start to play with released Custom ROMs and Customizations without worrying as much. During Recovery, there is an option for USB Dead Phone Flashing. I would assume this is for Bricked Phones.

anybody use the Data Package Manager yet to see what Roms that Nokia has available? I am seeing two variants of the Rom for each color Lumia 900.
For Example for the Black version I see 2 listed they are
1. RM-808 ATT RETAIL DEVICE ALIVE BLACK
2. RM-808 VAR ATT BLACK
Anybody have an idea as to what could be different? In the Package Manager there is nothing to distinguish what the difference is between the 2 other than the Product Code of the ROM, the SW Version is the same throughout all the ROMS, and the Firmware Files are all the same size minus the Rogers Rom, they are all 350.42MB.
I've Uploaded a screenshot of the application with the ROMS Listed.

I don't know what's different, if anything, but I personally flashed the ATT Retail Alive one to my phone. I believe they call those others Variant files.

Use Rogers's ROM to flash AT&T devices
Anyone try to do this? Because of seems like the internet sharing in AT&T is different than WW model.

Nokia Lumia 900
HI Gents,
Have a question as i'm quiet new to this:
I have a Nokia Lumia 900 locked by at&t in the US. I purchased it on ebay and live in Australia.
By me flashing this phone, will it unlock it from the at&t network with ROMS provided by the above links in this thread?
Best Regards,
crowvat

I don't believe you can unlock the radio by flashing one of these, but maybe someone else can offer insight?
Again, I have NOT successfully flashed the Rogers ROM to my ATT Lumia, and I'm not even sure it will work. Keep in mind, it may brick your phone like flashing the wrong version of the Focus ROMs did to some Samsung Focuses, or how the HD2 had two different Radio Versions that bricked them if used incorrectly. Those two situations were unrecoverable without sending in to Factory for repair.
Another thing to keep in mind. These are 100% Original ROMs from Nokia. There are no changes or Hacks in these. You only get what your phone was originally shipped with. No need to use these if your phone is working properly. I posted them for anyone who wanted to look inside the ROMs for hacking, or anyone who has a phone in brick state that wants to try to recover.

I have a feeling successfully being able to flash the Rogers ROM over the ATT ROM might actually unlocked the internet sharing... However it's probably best to confirm in the other forum with someone who's unlocked the Rogers L900 on Telus if they were able to actually use it or if it remaining locked to Rogers.. If not, we're wasting our time trying.

I just tried to FORCE flash the Rogers ROM to my ATT Lumia, but I could not get it to work. It is failing due to not being correct hardware. Someone else might have better luck than I did. My guess is the files will need to be modified a little somewhere.
I also just added Images to the first Post that show Nokia Care Suite, and what phones are supported using this tool.

Rogers customer here.
The internet sharing option IS available but any connected devices will not get internet access unless you have a tethering plan. So even if you flash a Rogers ROM to an AT&T phone, it seems the provider still can disable internet sharing on their end.

I wonder if you can't flash it right now because the Rogers version is also a HSPA 42 device while the ATT is only 21. Dont know if this is enough of a difference for it not to work.

That's how the ATT version is. The option exists, but you have to call in to ATT and have it enabled for an extra charge.
I believe for those who want it free, you'll need to wait for registry access... Even then, doesn't ATT eventually find out and back charge?
Makes me wonder. Can a Rogers customer call Rogers and have it enabled for a charge on an ATT phone?

Recover-Upgrade Nokia DLOAD Bootloader

Hello everyone.
I have a Nokia Lumia 900 with unlocked bootloader / Qualcomm. I mean, I have Nand Access (if I try OSBL mode it asks to format). I'm currently running OS v 8107 and update 8773 is available but update is not feasible via Zune nor NCS (it does not find Nokia bootloader and can't proceed, so reboots).
As far as I know, updating via QPST is neither posible because of custom ROM (.nb file) is not available at this momento. Am I right?
The unlock bootloader is as is 'since factory'. Is there any chance to flash 'original' Nokia DLOAD so I can upgrade via Zune and/or flash OEM ROM via NCS?
Any help would be appreciated.

I've never heard of a Lumia 900 with a Qualcomm bootloader.
But if in fact you do, you should be messaging biktor_gj and Heathcliff so they can get a copy of that bootloader from you

Really, it my case, and that's why it's difficult to me to updating because they have not yet been able to unlock 900. Thanks for the tip, i'm going that way.

This might be what we've been all waiting for ankerael - keep us posted please if this might lead to unlocking the Lumia 900!

Well if its the same Qualcomm bootloader that the 800 & 710 have, its my understanding that its already unlocked.
biktor_gj was the one that discovered it for the 800/710, that's why its crucial you message him. If you do in fact have a Qualcomm bootloader for a 900, he would be able to set it up so that we with the NLOAD bootloader can downgrade to the Qualcomm. Then custom roms can happen.
But until then, you can upgrade via the CAB method SuperSport has provided here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736863. It only updates the OS though, not the firmware

Hi,
I had already DM biktor_gj and am awaiting for his response. I tried CAB method before (1 month aprox) and had no success. When it restarts the pone and sends upddated files it gives and error (don't remember the number, i'll try to reproduce later) and reboots with the OS non updated.
I'll keep you updated when I try CAB method once again and regarding the response I get of the DM. Thanks again

anything happen yet? i've recently purchased a Lumia and i'm definiely wondering about this. an amazing phone regardless!

Definitely DON'T upgrade anything until heathcliff and others can check out your bootloader. If you do indeed have qualcomm bootloader (and it seems you do as no update method is working for you) this could be VERY helpful in helping us unlock other Lumias.

This sounds like amazing news if it can be done.
How do I find out what bootloader I have on my lumia 900?

Turn off your phone. Then, boot into recovery (Either Power+Volume Up or Power+Volume Down), then plug the phone into your computer. If it asks you to format, say no, it can brick your phone. You have a Qualcomm bootloader. If it says "NOKIA DLOAD", then you have a Nokia bootloader.

I have Qualcomm bootloader and still have no clue about recovering DLOAD or even flashing a custom/stock ROM. I can't even update via Zune. Still stuck at 8107.79 (FW 8107.12071) ...
Any idea pls?

Hi,
Many people sent me messages with a reference to this thread. So, I will post here some info on this subject.
- It would be useful for research purposes to have a dump of the ROM. You can do that by connecting your Lumia to a Linux box and have it mounted a mass-storage-device. Linux has proper file-system-drivers to access the device. Make sure you don't write anything to the device. Just make a backup of all the files you see on the phone. Use WinRAR to pack it and upload it somewhere for sharing.
- In general, the NOKIA bootloaders have already been analyzed. But they are coded very tightly. No exploit for a HSPL-like-hack have been found yet.
- The dumped bootloader cannot be used to downgrade existing phones to the version with the unlocked bootloader, unless a hardware hack, similar to this, will be found for Lumia 900. It cannot be used now, because a signed certificate is missing for that.
- Currently only ankerael can benefit from this. After you made a backup of all the files/partitions (in Linux), you could ask a ROM builder, like Ultrashot, to fix a nice ROM for you. Maybe he can create an unlocked ROM for Lumia 900 for you? You could follow this guide for flashing the Nokia Lumia. Be careful! It is easy to brick your device with this stuff!
Good luck,
Heathcliff74

Hello everybody, I have some pictures so you can see i'm talking serious about the bootloader. I'll try what @heathcliff74 suggests by the night and keep you posted.
Sorry about being a little distant these days but have had lots of work stuff. I am back now.
Thank you all.

Is there any chance that someone could find a hardware hack or the certificate for the 900? Is anyone actively working on this, or is development on the 900 basically dead now that the 920 has replaced it? I know that others have replied to and asked this question, so sorry for asking it again, but I just wanted an update

Since my lumia 900 suffered a fall and screen get broken (still 100% functional) i decided to get a Galaxy Note II because I couldn't even update. If someone is interested in repairing and having the phone contact me.

[Q] What is the difference between previously leaked 7.8 and officially released 7.8?

You know, today, WP 7.8 is officially released via Zune.
I've been using Lumia 900 with previously leaked 7.8 version.
Anyway, today, plugged my lumia into PC, checked the update.
But, it shows the message "It is the latest version 7.10 (8858)".
So, I couldn't enjoy official firmware.
What can I do for this? Is it possible to downgrade to WP 7.5? If then, I'm gonna downgrade to official 7.5 via Nokia care suit to get official 7.8 via zune.
Finally, if previously leaked 7.8 and official 7.8 are absolutely same, I would keep current state.
Please somebody guides me.

try this way and say thanks
youtube.com/watch?v=k1e3xAZCzZY sorry i can't paste direct link yet if you have problems or wonna ask somting my skype is vasko_ed

Are you talking about using the nokia care suite leak and you flashed it to 7.8? If so that is the update that is finally being pushed out today.

yes,but i found it before 2 days ago. now i have wp7.8 os ver.7.10.8858.136 radio soft ver 2.1.75.29 my lumia is rm-838

One thing I noticed is that the one you flash from Nokia Care Suite has way more ringtones I believe. I was using a certain ringtone, and today I just updated through Zune (downgraded by flashing back to Tango), and I cannot find the ringtone I was using before. The ringtone I was using was something like Moanday and the one pushed today doesn't seem to have that.

How far did you get? Make sure to follow the video step by step that SuperSport posted here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1e3xAZCzZY&feature=player_embedded

From what I know, the difference between NCS WP 7.8 and Zune WP 7.8 (in case of my Lumia 900 RM-823) is firmware only. When you flash your Lumia with NCS, you get firmware 2175.2905.8858.12480, but when you use Zune update (from 8779 in my case), you end up with 2175.2905.8853.12440. The OS version in both cases is the same: 7.10.8858.136.
Cheers!

[TOOL] Windows Phone 7.8 Update Wizard (Sharp7Eighter)

Go to the Website for more details + download​
This little tool is pretty simple: it just updates any Windows Phone to the latest 7.8 version, through a nice, user friendly wizard that is always responsive and gives a lot of feedback during the process, serving as a frontend for Microsoft's UpdateWP.exe tool. Best of all, you may stop the update chain and continue later and it will remember the languages you selected.
All you should need is:
Windows Vista, 7 or 8
.NET Framework 4.5
Phones tested
Thanks to everyone who has reported back their success to update these devices! Hopefully, this will add some confidence to people who want to use this tools!
Nokia Lumia 800 (lesmo_sft)
LG Optimus 7 (lesmo_sft)
HTC HD7 (michael_ta315)
HTC Titan (wavrunrx)
Samsung Focus (tekcard, GauharJK)
I could've messed up the name of some phones because I don't know them, but that's what I've read in the post. So if anyone, for example, know that HTC HD7 is the same as the Titan, then please let me know and I'll fix this list!
FAQ
Before posting or sending a PM, check this:
Every single Windows Phone is supported, no matter the carrier nor the manufacturer (although there appears to be issues with "Walshed" phones)
Custom ROMs are not recommended to be updated (it's a custom ROM, it should already have 7.8 right?)
This tool can update from version 7720 and everything in between, to 8862 (which is WP7.8 with the Tile Update fix)
This tool uses official Microsoft CAB files, listed here
It's very unlikely that your phone gets bricked if you follow the wizard
What's next?
Yes, there's more. I plan to extend this tool to help those guys with phones that had troubles with the updates because of not selecting the right languages, or some package related problems.
I'm not sure how many people would actually use Windows XP to update, but I'll adapt parts of the code to compile under .NET 2.0 or 3.0 so it can be used with XP.
I may even think about supporting deployment of packages to multiple devices, but I think it's just not used.
Why?
I've been a major lurker here on XDA (since 2010) and never posted a single thing. I'm passionate for ease of use, nice graphics and responsive user interaction... so I think it's time to share, help and learn! Because of that, I created this little tool inspired on Windows Phone Hacker's seveneigther.
Credits
Credits go to Jaxbot (the guy behind Windows Phone Hacker) for inspiration, and all the people posting in this thread keeping the CABs list up to date.
Feel free to post problems, bugs you find and suggestions :laugh:​
Volunteers
Yes. You can help even if you're not a guy who knows how to write code. Right now, this little tool supports English and Spanish out of the box. If you'd like to help with the localization of this tool in your language, PM me (or call me maybe? ) and I'll provide you with the file or strings needed so you can translate them, and I'll update the tool.
An easier and faster way to help with the translation, is through Transifex. You can access the project here: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/sharp7eighter/

Downgrade the .NET Framework needed from 4.5 to 2.0 if possible

Hi,
Thanks for work :good:
But screenshot?

Screenshot? It's the very first picture (the one saying "Lesmo WP7 (LG-E900) v8862")...

XP
I am still using XP and would welcome an XP version.

To delete.

Wow awesome,
I will try this when I get home

I have T-mobile HTC radar. running windows Phone 7.5 with OS version 7.10.8107.79 and my PC is windows 7 with .net 4.5 installed and phone tool installed.
After choosing the correct language (which is US English), it went to complete screen. Nothing seems to happen. I tried restart the PC and a few times.
Help

so im an android guy and i have never even used a windows phone; but my friend has asked me to upgrade his HTC Titan (the original titan)
i installed all the pre-req's and i get as far as sharp7eighter asking me what language is installed in the titan;
next screen i get this:
i see in the OP, version 7740 is required as a base; so im left wondering;
is the ATT HTC Titan one of the phones that cannot be updated ?
are we stuck at v. 7720 ?
thanks

Same issue as tracywong, after language selection, just the completed screen.

same here. 7720

is this works for samsung focus s with os version 7.10.8858.136?and currently updated to 7.8 using seveneighter and still locked ican't install 3rd party apps

whut? after I chose my language I pressed next and it just said were done. But nothing is happening.. I'm on HTC HD7 v8107
Hmmm... so no one confirmed this work? hmmmm..... not much reputation with this guy too.... hmmm........ maybe i'm wrong :silly: but i'll hold off until someone confirm it's working.

will it work with lumia 800?

I have a Dell Venue Pro running 7.5 v7720. I apparently am a wizard. I receive the same error
In all seriousness though, I am excited and willing to test if you could help.

Not working on:
Lumia 610
LG E900
it just goes directly to the You are Done screen!

Ooops!
Hi folks! Quick update on the issue some of you are reporting. It's a little problem with a thing on the way I parse the update chain, that I've just fixed. I tested on a Lumia 800 (which by the way has some languages not listed on the tool or the XDA thread), and so far it looks good.
I'll upload the fixed version in a couple of hours. I'll check the problem with the very first version of Windows Phone and report back.
Thanks for your patience and reports!

Just to add -- this did not work on a Verizon HTC Trophy. It went straight to the "we're done" screen with no activity on the phone.

So, I'm currently testing with a Nokia Lumia 800 I have in stock. The problem is now mostly solved, I'm just fixing a little problem occurring after the phone reboots from a successful update.

Did you miss a language package? Did you run SevenEighter twice on the same phone? Did you run UpdateWP.exe to install other update packages? Is it a custom ROM? Have you tried resetting it? Answer to these questions can help me and many others try to come up with a solution.

Hello, I have a Nokia G10. I would like help to have a custom ROM possibility like Lineages OS.
Would it be useful to do something?

Ah, the best would be a lineageos rom for Nokia G10 TA-1334, with a TWRP and the flash procedure that goes with it, but for the moment I only have the phone and some motivation.
If I can dump files, provide data to help, I volunteer and maybe even build the custom rom. But I'm aware that we need root privileges, and build a TWRP too.
I am a novice. Sorry if I misunderstood what is needed to port a new smartphone.

Hello, my Nokia G20 is write on the back TA-1365 , but after fresh installation with this firmware always get stuck on logo android one. To work properly I needed to change the preloader file to a variant TA-1336 and work. is it normal?

for anyone needing to flash, heres hmd devicekit, ive obviously patched the app to remove any login reqs. please note youll need to run as admin to access functions, if you are paranoid use dnspy and open the exe in there, its unobfuscated C#

hi i am trying to FRP erase as i can not get to phone there is lockscreen. My newphiew doesnt remember the unlock numbers! So i am familiar with recovery and flashing but this is so strange phone!
I can not get to recovery only in fastboot mode. I have mediatek drivers but still i cant flash with flashtool and i tried HMD Device kit as admin but i dont have permissions.
So is it problem that there is no usb debugging enabled? or why i can not use your tool... i am so tired i have done almost everything.
Any clue on how to get firmware or delete lockscreen?

You can definitely unlock your device but you would need to disassemble the device and then short the test point so that you can unlock your device.
HMD Device Kit is not a free software and Nokia Care Centers are only able to access it but outsiders do have access to the software who charge heavy fees.

If you want to unlock your device without opening it please let me know I will help you unlock it using authorised software and I will bear the cost of the unlock.

I am not trying to open the device. I thought that the zip above was just fine because i downloaded the issue was that i do not have permission i guess, that is the message i get.
So i will try if i can flash firmware from fastboot mode.
No need to bear any cost to a stranger pal like me!
If you have any advice or something to share that would be awesome.

You cannot flash or unlock your phone without unlocking bootloader of the device unofficially.

so do you have any guide?
