Hi All,
I have a Nokia Lumia 820 Developer device with a buggy and old firmware installed, here are the details:
Model: NOKIA id101
Carrier: Developper v3
Software: Windows Phone 8
RAM: 851
Screen resolution: 480:800
OS version: 8.0.9827.70
Firmware revision number: 1232.12.1235.5
Because this firmware is buggy I would like to update to a new firmware. For this I have installed the Nokia Care Suite and run the Nokia Product Support Tool 5.0 to get more device information, here it is:
Type Designator: RM-825
Model Name: Nokia Lumia XXX
Product Code: 059P710
Software Version: 1232.12.1235.5
Using this information I have downloaded the latest firmware from Nokia servers using NaviFirm+ 1.7. The only problem was that I couldn't find a firmware that matches my Product Code: 059P710.
The good news is that I have found another Nokia Lumia 820 Developer Device firmware version 1232.2110.1244.3002 but the Product Code is different than mine, it's 059R4L7.
Now, in order to install this new firmware I have followed these 2 steps:
1)Renamed the files from the firmware directory c:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\RM-825\ by replaceing the new product code 059R4L7 with the code that my phone has 059P710.
2)Opened Nokia Product Support Tool 5.0 and begin the Refurbish procedure, this procedure will replace my old firmware 1232.12.1235.5 with the new firmware 1232.2110.1244.3002.
Things seem to work, my phone is restarted and moved to Flash Mode but then I get this error:
Refurbish Failed
Signed FFU programing operation has failed with error code: 1313819477
See the attached image: Lumia820_Refurbish_Error.png
Can someone please help?
Is there another way to put a new firmware on my phone?
Please help!!!
Thanks,
Mircea
I have to use Recovery for changing firmware with difer Product Code. Refurbish is only to able flash the firmware with same PC.
I have tried Recovery also but I still get an error:
Recovery Failed
Unable to get error message
See attached image: Lumia820_Recovery_Error.jpg
I think that Windows Phone 8 has secured the firmware update process and is now checking the Product Code just before it starts the firmware install.
Can you please help?
Did you change your firmware with one that has a diferent Product Code? If so, did you change it on a Windows Phone 8 device?
Please help!
Thanks

Hi I personally don't do "refurbish" method, but instead I use "recovery" with the phone turned off. Try it and I hope it won't kill your phone.
recovery mode
How do you put the phone in recovery mode?

i think you must keep pressed vol down+power button until the Phone vibrate.

I have just updated my Lumia 820 product code 059Q8W4 (Vodafone DE).
I used Nokia Care Suite 5.0 2012.45.4.5 to flash the phone with RM-825 VAR EURO2 CH ORANGE BLACK (059R2S0) downloaded with NaviFirm+ v1.7
I used the "Recovery" mode in Product Support Tool for Store, to do the update.
I have not found any problems with the update jet. The restore of settings and app from the cloid was very smooth, only neede to redo my startscreen and setup wifi.

Which PC operating system you used and the NCS with which Settings?
I tried this also yesterday with the same firmware without success.
My Nokia Lumia 820 has not even automatically restarted to go into the boot loader.
Also press "On / Off - Volume Down" button does not work.
Addendum:
This day I tray again with this firmware (RM-825 VAR EURO2 CH ORANGE BLACK (059R2S0)) and look that, it works!!!
My Nokia Lumia 820 is now a half-official Orange Switzerland phone, hihihi.
First, is a good firmware with my 1wish/hope: "WLan let activ with activ lockscreen"!!! :good:
Also its true, the 4G is not aviable, but will be updating later with a new firmware for sure.
Cool!!! Testing more this firmware, but till now not bad. :highfive: :good:
Hello all,
I have my Lumia 820 now since 4 weeks and I tried to read all about flashing a new Firmware, like the topics in Lumia 900 and Lumia 920 Section.
I came from the HD2 and I know few things about flashing, but Nokia is new for me.
My Device has at the moment the Firmware 1232.2109.1242.1002
I found out that available for me is: 1232.5951.1249.1004
The name is: 059Q9G6 RM-825_TMO_DE_VAR259454_12491_001_Black_v2_Default
I think the file should fit all my requirements (German T-Mobile Device).
My question now is, how can I backup my old Firmware, because in NCS I can’t find it and it seems that my old one is not available online.. I found some Tuts for flashing the device, I backuped all Settings in my Live-ID online. How can I restore after flashing the new Firmware?
There is also a Developer Firmware available, any improvements for me flashing this?
My device is not unlocked, will it be after flashing?
Maybe someone can help me trying to explain the most points I need to pay attention to so I don’t brick my device.
Thanks
Have you found a solution to your problem as I have exactly the same issue and got stuck. Thanks

whats in a developer firmware? if u compare to a regular one?
Any updates on this thread? because i have also a dev firmware. I need to fix this before i sell this phone.
Ive chang me Digitizer as the previos cracked it worked without problems untill i updated to Amber, i have the previous Rom but i cant get it to any mode where NCS recognizes a connection is there away to put the phone into a Download mode? Ive tried also but nothing will recognoze it.
TO DELETE
Solution for Touch not working after Amber update
When your touch screen is not responding after updating to Amber (&GDR2) it is likely due to a non-original digitizer.
You have probably changed your digitizer after it cracked, right?
Non original digitizers directly from Nokia or trusted resellers do not work!
There is no solution other than finding an original digitizer and swap it with the cheap china version, you installed.
Then everything works as it should.
Well, I got a Nokia 7 Plus prototype (TA-1062), and I'm able to dump emmc from it.
Now I'm working on homebrew firmware - not sure if it can be flashed into retail unit.
I hope @blackpanther0582 could release Retail Android One firmware - even flashing it requires service point authentication.
BTW, I rooted the Nokia 7 Plus prototype easily.

I was thinking of buying N7P instead of Xiaomi Redmi Note 5,but I read that Nokia doesn't allow users to unlock the bootloader, so no custom ROMs, no TWRP and no root. That is a big no for me personally.
How did you root your phone? Care to share some info?

Prototype phones already have bootloader unlocked...
What I did are:
1. Enter Qualcomm EDL Mode with an EDL cable, then use QFIL to dump the whole emmc to get image.
2. Dump boot partition.
3. Use Magisk Manager to patch boot.img separately.
4. Flash this boot.img on either fastboot mode or EDL cable.
That's it.
I wonder if a retail phone can achieve these.
NOTE: Nokia 6 TA-1000 with locked bootloader requires an extra procedure to process boot.img in order to root the phone.

I didn't know that prototypes have their bootloader unlocked!
Hopefully, by the time it hits European stores, the Chinese who got it first might have figured something out. Or maybe, as it's part of Android One, it will be obligatory to allow users to unlock the bootloader.

Thank you, if root will be avaible I'll definitely consider buying the phone.
What do you think of the phone? Quality of screen, performance, battery...
How were you about to get a prototype device? What about the retail chinese phones? I was thinking about importing them from ebay/aliexpress but im not sure if they'll be able to have their bootloader unlocked, no one has tried so far to my knowledge.

I still have no idea of if the bootloader on China Variant is unlockable.
But, if you're going to buy Nokia 7+ from China, here's some warning:
1. Only Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional) and English is available on the phone.
2. You can install Play Store manually, but you must told the seller that preserves everything on stock to prevent from tampered system.
3. If the system got damaged, you have to find someone who can provide service support to flash your phone. I don't know if you can flash Android One firmware for global release since I don't have one.

Thanks for that info, on point 2 regarding play store does that extend to Google services also? Wifey is holidaying in China and just bought one and thought to buy another for me but I'm holding her off until I can be sure as I rely on Google services a great deal. Also why must the seller be informed, is that a warranty issue or software update issue?
And on point 3, presuming she brings the phone back to New Zealand is there a way I can help the community to explore flashing Android One global release firmware?

If you can buy it from China directly, informing seller is not necessary. For example, if you can buy it from Jing Dong or Suning, you needn't to worry about tampered OS, and that means you can receive further updates.
If you buy it from eBay or AliExpress, the system is probably tampered by seller which you can't get further updates.
As for install Play Store, it's really easy - just find Play Store APK from APKPure, APKMirror whatever and install it on the phone, this will allow you to get access to Play Store. Then you can install any other Google Apps on Play Store manually. You needn't to root your phone and install opengapps.
Since Android One firmware hasn't released yet and the bootloader isn't unlockable, you can't flash it right now.
Nokia 7 plus is available on Amazon europe sites like Germany and Italy and others and also ships worldwide and release date showing 12 to 14 or 15 april

Big question here! I am going to europe and want to buy this phone there, the problem is that the model they are selling don't have band 4 (1700/2100) and i need it in my country. Is there a way to fix this? Is a model in europe with band 4? Can i flash the modem with band 4? Thanks a lot!
As the phone should be available, are there any news about the firmware of Europe phones? Is the bootloader unlocked / unlockable?

Well, i want to ask you if you can help me with this problem;
I Have a Smartphone Huawei, model "Mate 9 (MHA-09)", with Bootloader Locked, system Emui 9.1 = Android 9, FRP Unlocked.
For me, my 2 solutions are:
" Downgrade Emui 9.1 to Emui 9.0, then, to Emui 8, and finally, to unlock bootloader whit DC-Unlocker"
" Or change all the system with root, like the launcher, the notification panel, menu, etc"
I read about:
° HuRupdater
° Upgrade / Downgrade by SD Card With Dload
° Downgrade With Hi Suite 9.0 or 5.0 with FunkyHuawei
° Install TWRP whit NoChek
° Firmware Finder
° DC- Unlocker
° Xloader
° Update With SD 16Gb and not 32Gb
and i try, and i try.
and thats why i am here, i still can´t find those solutions, and i need help.

You can downgrade simply by HiSuite, see discussion (check also the earlier posts):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80889343&postcount=3
That way you can go down to EMUI 8 but not earlier than to the firmwares with Security patch 07/2018 or later
And you cannot (and must not - people hardly bricked various Huawei phones, not just Mate 9) roll-back further because at that time Huawei changed the Bootloader
It actually means that you cannot go back to be 'able' to use old/good DC Unlocker - instead of DC Unlocker you will have bricked device that can only be repaired by Testpoints method
Also, only by Testpoints method you can rollback to Oreo, Security patch 06/2018 or earlier, that you can then unlock by DC Unlocker.
It was discussed in one of the threads here for Mate 9, about two months ago - please search
It was also asked and answered in another Mate 9 thread (during the last month or so - please search, you will find) about the available options to unlock Bootloader - but all goes down to the Testpoints, and some costs (to Halabtech, HCU or a particular Telegram group) that are about 30 Euros or more
Only those who never upgraded over Oreo firmwares with Security patch 06/2018 (that is, who still have the older Bootloader) can simply unlock the Bootloader with DC Unlocker for about 4 Euros ;-(

Hello mate.
I had tried before posting, but it didn't work.
So far the temporary solution I found (which I also tried for Dload and Hi suite, and it did not work, maybe I am wrong) is to perform a Downgrade from Emui 9.1 to 9.0, then you can perform a Downgrade to Emui 8.0. (but it is not possible to do it directly from 9.1 to 8.0)
I have an information puzzle, I still can't get to Emui 8, I keep reading, trying, buy 4 credits in DC, and surprise, they can't unlock it, and I already tried so hard, for so long that I'm seeing if I already sell Huawei, and I add it to my friends list "Never Buy again"
as ise with LG, Samsung, Xiaomi.
It is frustrating, he became a dictator huawei with his Sisteman "Emui" with which I can not even clean my quiet ass without bothering with his updates

Yes, exactly as in my post you cited. You downgraded from 9.1 to 9.0, then from 9.0 to 8.0, but you are still with the newer 8.0 sharing the same new Bootloader as 9.0 or 9.1 - the same new Bootloader that cannot be unlocked for 4 EUR.
You would have to downgrade further, to the older 8.0 firmwares (before GPU Turbo and/or earlier than Security Patch 06/2018 - they usually correspond to the jump from the old xloader to the new one).
But such downgrading is not possible by e.g. HiSuite, and if you enforce it by DLOAD, you would jump to the band wagon with several other users of various Huawei devices who similarly wanted to 'cheat' - but instead of unlocking Bootloaders for the cheap 4 EUR, they hard-bricked their phones.
There is only one method to downgrade to that old xloader.img - TestPoints: it requires to open the phone, to shorten pins on the TestPoints at motherboard and then to use a special loader and driver by Huawei to flash the board image. You may have problems to restore IMEI(s).
If you are interested about, search on XDA and outside, you will find the guides.
Actually, there were even instructions here (not very detailed - requiring further research for resources), under the Mate 9, Q/A or Guides section (e.g., I remember that I have asked for how-to at late Aug or early Sep, got a short answer but I never pursued to try it on my own)
E.g., attached is a photo of TestPoints pins for Mate 9
finally, I have the solution

Yes, exactly as in my post you cited. You downgraded from 9.1 to 9.0, then from 9.0 to 8.0, but you are still with the newer 8.0 sharing the same new Bootloader as 9.0 or 9.1 - the same new Bootloader that cannot be unlocked for 4 EUR.
You would have to downgrade further, to the older 8.0 firmwares (before GPU Turbo and/or earlier than Security Patch 06/2018 - they usually correspond to the jump from the old xloader to the new one).
But such downgrading is not possible by e.g. HiSuite, and if you enforce it by DLOAD, you would jump to the band wagon with several other users of various Huawei devices who similarly wanted to 'cheat' - but instead of unlocking Bootloaders for the cheap 4 EUR, they hard-bricked their phones.
There is only one method to downgrade to that old xloader.img - TestPoints: it requires to open the phone, to shorten pins on the TestPoints at motherboard and then to use a special loader and driver by Huawei to flash the board image. You may have problems to restore IMEI(s).
If you are interested about, search on XDA and outside, you will find the guides.
Actually, there were even instructions here (not very detailed - requiring further research for resources), under the Mate 9, Q/A or Guides section (e.g., I remember that I have asked for how-to at late Aug or early Sep, got a short answer but I never pursued to try it on my own)
E.g., attached is a photo of TestPoints pins for Mate 9

Men, thanks for the answer, and sharing your time.
Well,
Finally, I found the solution that I wanted to apply a long time ago.
Which one?
simple; Take the cell phone, sell it and send the **** to Huawei.
Hello! I have a Nokia 2.2 smartphone witch I've got second hand. The problem is that it has installed Android 10 and I want to revert it back to 9.0 because I simply don't like android 10. It is slow even after a hard reset and some apps that I use on my tablet (with android 5.0) do not work on it. I don't care about that security nonsens! I just want to do what I want with my phone. I can't even get root access. Can anyone please help me with a flash file or a method to root it?
No one knows how can I downgrade it ?
When I want to downgrade it on recovery mode it said that I can't install older build rom
So what can I do ?

I have an Honor 8 phone, model RFD-L14, in the USA. Can I update to Android Oreo using HiSuite? If not, is there another safe way to do this?. I've search HiSuite and I can't find this update in there.

Correction - Model is FRD-L14
Updates ( read: patches ) of an OS gets rolled out when manufacturer / carrier deems it necessary.
What you want to do is upgrade existing OS ( Android 6 ) to Android 8 ( Oreo ). This requires to flash a suitable Custom ROM, what requires a suitable Custom Recovery got flashed before, what requires phone's bootloader got unlocked before.

Thanks. I read somewhere that HuaWei were rolling out Oreo on Honor 8 in Europe; I was hoping for here. The unlocking of the bootloader is expensive - the cost goes a fair way to buying a new phone. It seems risky too - I might end up buying a new phone anyway.
