I've had the Nokia Lumia 1020 since it came out last July. I've been waiting forever to get the Lumia Cyan update. It has camera improvements that the WP 8.1 dev preview doesn't have.
On Friday, I learned that Lumia 1020's in countries like Canada and India were getting the Cyan update. I got the idea that if I unlocked the phone and set my location to Canada I would be able to get the update.
AT&T approved my unlock and I tested it with a T-Mobile SIM card. I still can't get the software I want.
When I turn on the phone, it still says AT&T. It still lists AT&T as my carrier in Settings.
I've tried doing a factory reset and I've tried using the Nokia Software Recovery Tool to restore the factory image. It still says AT&T.
I need it to be completely carrier unlocked. Anybody have any ideas on how to remove all traces of AT&T from the phone?

Nah...not likely. The updates, if they ever do finally come, will be associated with the firmware for the specific carrier.

Nothing is required to receive an update apart from having the Zune software on your pc and in the case of the useless carriers, their approval to MS to release the update. Unlocked devices should get updates with no restrictions or delays, barring technical issues.

That would be those technical issues then. Or just the result of a phased rollout, but you do not need to have a Zune pass or anything else, as the OP asked. And if you unlocked it yourself, are you referring to a SIM unlock but its still a branded device, if so the original carrier would still control when the update is released. Unbranding with a stock firmware would be the way to revert it complete "unlocked" state with no carrier ties but even then, its no guarantee of getting the update sooner.

Then obviously its just down to being a phased rollout, based on whatever criteria MS is using.
There's only 7 days until Nodo gets released (theoretically), at this rate I'll not get this update before Nodo!
I hope Nodo doesn't get as delayed as this update did. Still nothing for me - UK O2 HD7 SIM-unlocked.
i got an email from HTC as i am using an unbranded HD7 and still to get the pre update, they told me to just wait for the march update...
they will not come out and say that MS have halt the 21st feb update or it was pushed out to only part of the WP7 owners....
so now i have to wait for march 8th or so and see what happens...
Just remember that March 8th was just a rumour, more than likely it wont be available then.
Hi everyone,
This morning I received notice on my Rogers Samsung Focus that I'm ready to receive the 7392 update which fixes the certificate bug. My phone is currently unlocked with Nodo and I obviously want to keep it that way.
Has anyone with an unlocked phone already completed the 7392 update, and if so is your device still unlocked after. I'm concerned that Microsoft may have snuck in something that would disable the unlock many of us have applied to our phones.
I have 7392 on HTC 7 PRO,phone is still unlocked.

I didn't get it until I synced my phone with my PC through Zune.
And yes my phone is still unlocked.
Well I guess it'll be a while before alot of people see this update, after all =/ But it's good to hear that the update doesn't mess with our unlock mojo =D
HI,
I'm thinking of buying AT&T 1020, but I from Europe and don't want to wait any exclusive period to over (like 920) so I can unlock the phone.
Did someone tried this already to unlock 1020 bought from AT&T ?
Evidently there are reports of people getting AT&T to unlock their devices, but not everyone has been successful so your mileage may vary.
I called at&t to unlock and the rep said the device can't be unlocked till 2014. I called back and asked for a manager, I explained to him that I bought it at full price and the phone is not on a contract. I was actually told if a device is bought at full price then yes it can be Unlocked. the manger put me on hold and then returned with the unlock code just fight the issue with at&t and ask for a manager even if you have to call several times that is as long as you bought it full price.
Yes, I tried
Yes, I tried. Got very complicated Code with easy instruction. Now At&t Nokia Lumia 1020 phone is Unlocked. Thanks for attphoneunlockingshop(dot)us site's Support team.

Yes, I've got the same problem. Have you solved it?
Phone was unlocked with code provided by ATT rep, but tethering isn't working. I know that AT&T phones from Microsoft stores were unlocked by personnel without problems.
https://twitter.com/bongiozzo/status/383679862638387200 here is my conversation Nokia Care US (AT&T admitted that phone fully unlocked in their systems) with no resolution.
I've got additional Russian keyboard - so it doesn't look like solution.
Actually I've experienced once this problem when was using Lumia 920 with AT&T SIM in USA business trip. When I returned to Russia I couldn't share internet with the same error message.
So I launched Access Point from Settings which sets parameters to Cellular, MMS and Internet Sharing. Problem was solved.
But I don't have Access Point in my Lumia 1020 setting. Moreover, firmware of ATT Lumia 1020 is older than official Russian firmware of Lumia 920.
What is possible solution to enable internet sharing? It's critical for me.
Does flashing solve this problem? What ROM can I use for Lumia 1020?
I think the tethering is set by the carrier and even though you have you're phone unlocked, you can't get tethering working unless you're able to flash a ROM that enables it OOTB. I had a problem with an HTC 8X from Rogers on ATT. Could never solve the problem even though ATT help desk tried to help me for hours.

Nokia 1020 AT&T Tethering unlock solution
I bought my Nokia 1020 from NegriElectronics unlocked (AT&T).
It worked very well in Canada (Rogers), Portugal (Vodafone), Spain (Vodafone). So no question it was unlocked. But Tethering was not working.
I got in touch with Negri and they pointed out this article: http://www.wpcentral.com/issues-internet-sharing-windows-phone-try-out-diy-fix
But I could not apply the workaround because the Cellular Settings did not allow me to add a second APN. I could only update the existing or delete it and add it again.
Anyway, I found this page: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/Nokia-Windows-Phone-8-App-Updates/td-p/1640082
They had a QR code on it to update the Access Point settings app (My Phone did not have it, probably removed by AT&T). Link to QR Code: http://imgur.com/ZLdL6
After I installed the AccessPoint from the QR code, it added to my phone settings an Access Point configuration. Then I could follow the original steps from the WPCentral article.
My Nokia 1020 is now unlocked for Tethering, and I did not have to call AT&T or dial 611...

Well like the other guy said, you can get WP 8.1 with the Preview for Developers app, but you won't get the Lumia Cyan firmware update which makes the camera noticeably better. In fact, if you install the dev preview, as it stands right now you won't get Cyan even when it comes out.
If you have the AT&T model and then unlocked it you will get the update when it is shipped to AT&T 1020s. In fact, I have the same problem. I unlocked my 1020 and put a T-Mobile SIM in there because I thought that it wouldn't say AT&T anymore. I thought I would be able to change my location to Canada and get Cyan because they have it in Canada already. It didn't work because it still says AT&T; however, we will get it when AT&T ships the update.
Thanks so much guys!

Hi,
Yes, Lumia Denim for AT&T ROM of Lumia 1020 comes just (this week it seems) to be released. AT&T had asked at Microsoft to re-compile the ROM for various reasons.
