I have the chance to get a vodafone branded lumia 920 very cheap but i have a few questions before i´ll accept the offer and i hope someone can help me out:
1. does anybody here have a clue about what the branding is actually like? boot up logo? some custom apps?
2. is there any chance (and if so: how) to flash a/the generic unbranded rom on it to get rid of everything that might be on it?
would be great if someone could give me a headsup on this one!

I have a lumia 920 branded on vodafone germany and it's locked , and can't seem to unlock it.
Contract phones aren't locked in Germany.
059Q8M3 is the product code for the black variant - you can use any simcard you want to use with it.
Please check your product code.
ok asume is true

ok mine is the black one but why when i open my phone (from shutdown) the airplane mode appears and after that says no service .
should i put another firmware?
i have that product code , i tryed even a vodafone germany sim and even that didn't work , checked the sim's on other phone's and they work checked on lumia 920 not even one not a signal nothing. it might be a signal issue and i checked forums and i'm not the only one who has that problem.

1. Branding is a boot logo, extra tile color and not much else visible.
2. Yes.
PS: Someone might look this up.

Hello from Spain, most probably there is explained but I can't find exactly what I'm looking (so if you you post a link I won't be mad )
Because I couldn't get the Nokia 800 with my operator and because I couldn't get it without changing company I got a Nokia 800 from a well-known auctions website.
The phone works fine and I thing it's unlocked because it works with my local carrier. But It says that is in 7.10.8107.79 and that the carrier company is Proximus. That's not the last firmware and it also isn't my carrier. Is there any way to free the device os any carrier or to force the update?
As I could see with some googling is that I need to download the firmware with NaviFrim Plus the thing now is that I don't know exactly what model I have, I think that mine is RM-819 (I have 1600.2487.8107.12070 for sure) but now the are tons of Variants, and i don't know which is good.
Dear Kapisketo, u can discover which RM is yours just pulling out the SIM card tray and looking behind it on the sticker.
If u have RM-801 u can follow the thread, i´ve done my self and worked like a charm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737907
If u have RM-819 u can follow the thread,tried my self this in first time and worked like a charm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1733039
Just pay attention in stpes, its not difficult.
Success to u.

PAC Code for my Lumia 800
Hello guys,
Just bought a Lumia 800 from E-Bay, in its original box, for a good price. When I started it, the first picture on the screen was a logo from Bouygues Telecom - France. After I have inserted my SIM into it, it says "Please insert the PAC code. 9 attempts remaining."
I have three questions:
1.What is the PAC code? Is the phone locked on a specific network?(found some explanations on the forums, but I`m still confused)
2. Why do I need to insert the PAC code in order to use this phone?
3. What do I have to do in order to use my phone strictly AS A PHONE?
Thank you in advance (and sorry for my poor english).
Yeap,it;s locked.I've yet to see someone unlock from bouygues france,maybe that's why you bought it at a low price?

Your developer edition 920 is the exact same model as the Rogers one.
Flash the Rogers Firmware, you should be fine, only negative thing is that you are gonna get the Rogers Logo on boot and a Rogers App in the phone which you can simply uninstall.
Once the developer edition clean firmware hits the servers, you can re-flash.
That's your only solution for now.

Did you figure this out? I have a developer edition 920, and want the Portico update, but am worried because the original firmware is still not on there, nor is the updated firmware. I thought about flashing to a Rogers firmware in order to get the update, but I'm worried it will simlock it (I use t-mobile USA). Thanks!

You aren't using that Dev phone to develop on, are you...
The Rogers firmware will not SIM lock your phone to Rogers. May I humbly suggest you do some light reading on how SIM locks work?
You're welcome.

The tray that your Sim card sits in should have your product code in it.

What code is it asking for?
anyway,
NOKIA LUMIA 800 : Existing device hardware version/s: RM-801 ("global") & RM-819 (Latin Americas) >>> If you are from Vietnam, you should use RM-801.
If you have used wrong firmware variant don't worry, follow case 1
Case 1: If it is asking for a 25-digit code, broken down to 5 boxes, it is easy to get it. You can obtain it from Microsoft HERE
Case 2:
Install Nokia Care Suit.
Connect your phone to PC and launch the NCS.
Check the phone details there. You should get the variant code as well.
Use this variant; this should work fine.
Case 3: If your phone is carrier locked, use NSS PRO to unlock SIM.1. Connect Phone to PC.
2. Start NSS PRO and use SIMLOCKS > WP7 > UNLOCK
This should do the trick, and you can use any SIM on your LUMIA phone.

Is there a way to debrand the 920 from Vodafone?
Bought one yesterday after 5 years of using android to try something new. It seems it has a Vodafone ID number, updated to the latest version RM-821/1038.007. No simlock though and allthough everything is working fine i would like to now if there is a way to flash a unbranded firmware version.
Hi,
You alwasy can remove branded apps and the only branding left will be boot logo.
You can try http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f60...ting-care-suite-download-1660094/#post9434277 to flash using RM-821 VAR EURO1 DEVELOPER DEVICE BLACK 059R4H6 which is dev device without any branding.

I was allready able to delete all Vodafone apps and everything works fine. I think i leave it as it is, only the Vodafone logo shows when booting and off course the Vodafone ID.

Funny, I had the same thing with my previous WP 7 phone, an HTC Titan. On first use it booted in German, and after some research I found it was from Austria from a stock sold by a Vodaphone subsidiary Vodaphone had to divest itself from. But apart from the Vodaphone logo on boot it was not only non-simlocked but not customized as shown by the firmware version number.
Hi,
I have just bought a supposedly sim free lumia off ebay only to find it has Vodafone firmware on it and its locked to Vodafone.I could go through all the ballache of sending it back to the seller but thought id check out my options first. I have a giffgaff sim (o2)
Is there a way of unlocking the phone for free?
and/or is there a way of flashing generic firmware onto the phone?
Thanks
Rik

Hi,
You need to ask T-Mobile to provide a code of simunlocking.
You can maybe also go through a specialized service on Internet.
