[Q] Has anyone flash Rogers 7.8 rom to AT&T - Nokia Lumia 900

I have an AT&T Lumia 900 and I noticed that it has only English and Espanol language. I noticed that Rogers' 7.8 Rom is 60MB larger and I guess it will come with Chinese language too.
I wonder if I can flash Rogers' ROM to AT&T Lumia 900? Has anyone try this option?

Not sure if this is going to be helpful, but I have an unlocked Lumia 900, which came from Rogers. I updated it on january to 7.8 with zune when Microsoft released the update, but I was annoyed by the fact that internet sharing still didn't work (it was not working on 7.5). After learning that the issue was because a restriction Rogers puts in place, I read that some were having success flashing the TELCEL MX variant ROM with Nokia Care suite to the Rogers Lumia. I tried to do that, but the Nokia Care Suite refused to flash that ROM, since the product code of my phone (Rogers cyan Lumia 900) didn't match the product code of the ROM I was trying to flash. But then I downgraded the phone to 7.5 again using Nokia Care Suite (the corresponding Rogers cyan 7.5 ROM), and while being on 7.5, Nokia Care Suite happily flashed the phone with the TELCEL MX ROM. Then I upgraded to 7.8 with zune. Now Internet Sharing works (and as an added bonus, the phone is unbranded).
Long story short: If you have already upgraded to 7.8 (which I assume you have), then downgrade to your corresponding 7.5 ROM, and then try flashing with Nokia Care Suite the ROM of your preference (as long as the ROM you chose belongs to the same product, RM-808 ROM to a RM-808 phone, or RM-823 to a RM-823 phone). I personally recommend the TELCEL MX LTE variant (for a RM-808 phone), since internet sharing works, and it has the language you are looking for.

Nice find. Unfortunately this works only on the Rogers devices... AT&T version doesn't.

Not sure about the language packs but my ATT branded but unlocked lumia 900 has internet connection sharing working using TMobile sim. I used it for months as my only home internet since Brooklyn NY was on 1900MHZ. I'll need to try if it still works using net 10 ATT sim

Good to know

I thought the AT&T Lumia 900s could only get 2G connections. Very interesting.

Is it possible to extract the language from this Telcel mx Rom ? And send it with cap Sender to att Rom ?

Unlocking Rogers Lumia 900 to work on Telus, LTE?

Hi,
i am interested in buying the Rogers Nokia Lumia 900, unlock it with a code, and make it work on Telus.
Questions to those who bought the Nokia Lumia 900 from Rogers:
1) Does the LTE will work on Telus Network?
2) Is the Internet Sharing locked?
3) I figure we can still get the April 16th update when we unlock it?
4) Where did you bought your codes?
Thanks in advance!
not sure for questions 1-3.
4. I bought mine here... www.remotecellunlock.com
for the Rogers Nokia Lumia 900 it was USD$ 8.79 and code was delivered in 35 minutes

I see!
Did you receive the Nokia update yesterday/today? It is apparently available!
In what region are you? I am in Québec!
And i find it strange that the internet sharing option is locked out for your phone, did you bought the AT&T or Rogers device?

i m in Newfoundland. Also i m still not receiving any updates. I was buying from ROGERS.
Does anybody got LTE in Montreal, because the higher I got was 4G. Strange or when Rogers says that LTE is deployed in Montreal it's only one cell tower near their shop in downtown ?

Hi I called AT&T International Services at 1-800-335-4685, you can use skype to call for free.. Anyways I asked if they could give me an unlock code if I bought a Lumia 900 to use outside the US.. the CSR said that it is available and asked for IMEI number and email to send the code to.. but I didn't have the IMEI # because I didn't receive my phone yet.. but Can you please try and let me know if it works??
Thanks
Peoples with unlocked phones, were you able to receive the Nokia update yet?
Is your device from Rogers or AT&T?
I have a Rogers Lumia 900, unlocked and using it on Telus. LTE does indeed work and is fast.
As for updates, I'm not sure how that's going to work, especially device specific updates since it's carrier dependant and Telus doesn't have the 900.

I have a couples questions for you:
- After buying the device from Rogers, where did you get your 'Unlock Code'?
- Did you already had a Micro-SIM card or you went to Telus asking for one? and did you have to ask them to change your data plan for the LTE plan or something?
- You have an LTE icon on the phone?
- Is the Internet Sharing feature working?
- Did you have to make special changes to the settings for your LTE connection to work? Changing APN, etc...
- As for the update from Nokia, you tried the Zune trick of dropping and reconnecting your internet connection or something like that?

tks bro. contact them now.
I unlocked mine there on 26th and it worked fine, but price I paid was $16.99 for the Lumia 900
Just wondering whats the pros of unlocking ?
- Does any other carrier in Canada has LTE ?
- If i take to europe, will it work on their LTE ?
- After unlocking when i connect to zune, can an AT&T Lumia 900 Update will pop up for my Lumia 900 ?
- Does any other carrier in Canada has LTE ?
Telus has LTE, not sure about Bel, Fido well have it in the coming future as I'm sure Bell will also if they don't already.
- If i take to europe, will it work on their LTE ?
As long as the band was supported
- After unlocking when i connect to zune, can an AT&T Lumia 900 Update will pop up for my Lumia 900 ?
Only real issue you're going to get is that you won't be able to send/receive MMS until/if Nokia releases the Network Setup App in North America or someone figures out how to hack/enable ADC.
Yes
Bell has LTE as well.
I use mine on TELUS and LTE works.
In Europe it won't work as Europe adopted different frequencies for LTE.

will ATT Nokia lumia 900 work on NZ vodafone

hi guys i was wondering if the lumia 900 will work on new zealand vodafone's 3g servies.
not if it's locked....and to date there is not an unlock solution available for AT&T branded Lumia's...

[Q] Rogers Lumia 900 for use with Fido

I did hit the search button with no definitive answers.
Does the Lumia 900, bought from a Rogers reseller, then unlocked, then used with a Fido Micro-Sim (already working in a Lumia 800) will have Tethering active (or or can be activated) without additional fees (other than paying for a real data plan, which I already have) ?
Fido does not have any LTE activated, am I right? Don't really care, just to clarify.
Can the Rogers-specific apps be uninstalled?
Is the Nokia Network Setup app available and installable (was installable before on my 800, but now says unavailable for my device in the marketplace, but still works on the phone)?
Phone will have Rogers logo on startup and Rogers colors (Red) instead of the Nokia blue? And since there's no generic Rom's (yet), it is not possible (yet) for North America to unbrand it?
On the same subject, would it be possible to flash the rom with a generic one from the RM-823 list, without 'deactivating' the North American bands (and not 'activating' the european bands)?
Are there manual Cab updates for the 900? I have unbranded phones since 2004 and don't want to be dependent on the original carrier for those important updates that may not be considered important for Rogers.
A few questions, but I don't want to buy a $525+ tax device that will not be as likable as my factory unlocked/unbranded Lumia 800.

Not sure I can answer everything but Fido does not have LTE. In fact I don't even think they have 4G. I'm not sure if tethering works or not. Yes the Rogers apps can be removed easily. Yes Rogers logo will be on bootup. Not sure if you can flash unbranded rom yet since we've seen no luck with AT&T model either. Nokia apps will be available for it as per whatever is in the Nokia section of the Marketplace. No their arent any cab updates. There was the last update which was available for all phones to force the missing keyboard update and could be installed by cab files but that's all I've seen since.
Some of my questions were answered in my research.
Thethering is a gray zone. No definitive answers.
Fido = 4G max. No LTE (yet). It may be announced as a back to school promotion a Fido rep told me. But would require a new SIM card which support LTE?
Uninstall Rogers crap = yes.
Nokia Network Setup app, still not available (as per Marketplace) on my 800, which seems to a North-American 'problem' (there's a topic on Nokia suppot on this). This needs to be confirmed or infirmed by someone who can install or update with a North-American Sim.
Branding may be removable if flashed with a generic rom from Europe, if the radio part is not affected by a flash (as with the 800).
Cabs have been seen, so manual updates = yes.
My experiences on Fido with Lumia 900
Hi,
I would love to hear other peoples experiences with the Lumia on Fido. I am going to mention mine below and would love to hear if any others have experienced the same.
First I would like to say I really enjoy the Lumia 900 although I do have some qwirks that I will mention.
As mentioned previously you can remove the Rogers apps since they don't work. The rogers branding does show up on start up which doesn't bother me that much.
What does bother me is that the phone seems to be slower loading data then Samsung Focus I previously used when on the cellular data. When on Wifi the phone is blazing fast.
I did reset the phone with the Fido sim in it as I initially didn't have it in on setup but it still seems slow when browsing in the browser or even in the market places.
On that note my experience is that this phone switches bands quite frequently in places none of my phones have ever done so. For example the Lumia in Toronto near the airport will drop to Edge and I don't remember ever seeing my focus drop to edge near the airport. The lumia in fact will drop to G here in Nova Scotia where I am temporarily working where I never had an issue on my Focus.
This can cause using the data functions on the phone to be frustrating at times. I would love to hear if anyone else has experienced this.
Thank you and please feel free to ask specific questions about using with Fido.
Thank you.

is the 4G connection available for all lumia900 or only for AT&T?

I have a factory unlocked Lumia 900. And my Area is about to get 4G connection.
Will I be able to use it?
Somewhere I remember reading about 4G being exclusive to AT&T... I'm not sure.
Thank you in advance.

If your phone is model RM-808, you have 4G support. If it's RM-823, then, according to our current knowledge, no. (The RM-823 is missing one PA chip compared to the RM-808 - however, I doubt that that's the only PA used in the RM-808 for 4G. AFAIK the RM-808 is 4G multiband.)
EDIT: The RM-808 supports LTE on bands 700, 1700 and 2100 MHz.
It's an RM823... No luck I guess.
Thank you for the reply.

Only ATT version has LTE, all other versions have 3G only. Good news is that if you have T-mobile LTE works in most major cities after you run Nokia Network Setup program.
Only for T-Mobile USA. I guess the OP is not American.
