[Q] Unlocked Lumia 920 and updates - Nokia Lumia 920

Hi guys am new to the whole WP thing so please bare with me.
I bought an EE Lumia 920 and got an unlock code ( because I'm going abroad) from ebay which seems to work properly. Now the question is what happens to firmware updates??? I mean do I still get EE firmware updates if I'm using my phone on other networks???

Since the device is still EE branded: yes. You have to wait for EE to release an update to get OTA Updates.
You can, as far as I know, flash an unbranded ROM to your device using Nokia Care Suite, however.

Hey Bawfar, just to let you know, I was/am in exactly the same position. I bought outright my LUMIA 920 last year in the UK and moved less than 1 week later to Cyprus. I unlocked my device at that time from unlockfrog and it cost me £50. I have since used a CYTA sim card and its been fine and have received updates when they have been released by EE. If you need to ask anything else let me know and I'll do what I can to help you out.

Unlock services for ATT Lumia 920

I have just place an order with theunlockguys.com, they said it's going to take 2 business days.
I will report my result here.
Has anyone anywhere ever actually got the code from one of these "unlockers" for any phone at a time when the carrier was not giving the codes to anyone?

I highly doubt that it will work. The only way to get an unlock code is to get it from AT&T, who as previously stated, are not giving them out.

Keep us updated if anyone tries one of these unlocks. If this works I'll buy one from AT&T, if not, I'm gonna be getting the Lumia 810. I want Nokia on T-Mobile!

Aren't you worried about being stuck on 2G if you use AT&T's version on Tmo?

OP,
Please only post if you actually get the code. We have seen this same pattern on L900 forum for 6 months. They all take your money but none of them can give you a code.

With the 920, they will be able to get 2g, 3g and LTE, just not Tmo 4G if I read it right with the frequencies offered.

For T-Mo, there is no LTE yet. And its 4G is the same thing as 3G. So, if you can't get T-mo 4G, you can't get 3G either. You stuck with 2G.
If you're in a refarm area you will get 3G even without T-Mobile's magic 3G frequency.
The unlockguys.com is no go:
Hello Oscar,
Thank you for your order, but we regret to tell you that we are currently not processing any orders for all Nokia Lumia 920 phones until the codes becomes available again. We have fully refunded your entire payment of $27.95. I will contact you as soon as the Nokia Lumia 920 code will become available. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Unlocked 920
I went into the new Microsoft Store in Toronto today and picked up a locked 920 for $550. Came home and used cell unlocker . net and my phone was unlocked in 2 hours. Way cheaper than what Rogers was charging. P.S. Now running on Wind Mobile in Canada!

Awesome, as far as I can tell you're the first to confirm an unlock from a third party unlocking service.
Ehh it wasn't an AT&T unlock.
He got it from Canada so it was likely from Rogers.
There is still and probably won't be an unlock from Att for 6 months.
There are a lot of 920s on ebay saying they're unlockable from Att which is utter bs.
You have been warned.

If you bought the Rogers model, it was unlocked to begin with (according to other accounts). did you try it with the Wind sim before gettingr an unlock code?

Only the initial (pre-release) batch was unlocked. Anything available after the release date (second batch and later) was locked.

Although yes it is a Rogers model I was also one of the first to get a non carrier unlock code on that model. And yes it was locked before the code. Tried it with a Wind Sim

[Q] Anyone tried unlocking EE L920?

Hey guys in the UK
So I brought the Lumia 920 from Phones4U, and I'm testing out which one will give me an unlock code...
But here's the thing: People have stated the EE lock is closest to T-Mobile UK, as the Lumia 920 supports the Virgin Mobile SIM too!
Here's the questions:
1. Has anyone here been lucky enough to get it unlocked from EE?
2. What sites have been used?
I have tried:
cellunlocker - Tried on Orange, may try again for T-Mobile
cellphoneunlocker - Tried on Orange, now trying on T-Mobile
fonezone - Tried on Orange and no luck, apparently no code for T-Mobile on that site
Good luck in getting EE to unlock.... Been trying for over a week.
They keep saying to me, as i didn't buy the phone from them, you have to get the code from p4u.. P4u say get it from EE... Ive even contacted Nokia they say EE should unlock it.
There is one site i found on here but its £40

What I got - was told to come back in a few weeks haha!
Yeah I've had no luck with p4u either. My main thing is that I think the carrier lock affects the NFC options for registering a card as I have not been able to get about bank cards on the NFC to associate in wallet
I was looking forward to that feature.
morning people, i have great news for you, the following website have said that they can unlock lumia 920. Bad news is £54 inc vat.....UnlockFrog | Unlock your Mobile with the Genuine Unlock Code
Ill just wait for mrunlock.com before i go ahead with unlockfrog..

I've tried EE, P4U and Orange, they won't unlock it..
Tried foneszone but unsuccessful.. Thinking of giving cellunlocker.net a go, but I was reading that they all use the same database, so if one cant unlock its highly likely that none can.. And seeing that cellunlocker want 40+ quid and foneszone 'only' 20..

I haven't used them for Nokia but contact fonefunshop, they have always helped me in the past!
UPDATE. according to their website they can unlock Lumia 920 locked to EE for £30! I have used them several times in the past and their communication and service is A+!
I visited a couple of those high-street unlocking guys, and they said they could do it for 25 GBP and 40GBP respectively.. Anyone had luck with them? I don't know if I trust them or not..

Your order reference number is: **********
Unlock Code Unavailable
We have refunded your order in full. Please allow 3-4 working days to see cleared funds in your account.
Why?
Unfortunately the unlock code for your IMEI number:*********************************** is not available.
This could be because the phone manufacturer has not yet added it to their database, it is an unsupported model, or you entered the IMEI incorrectly upon ordering.

UnlockFrog
Just spoken to UnlockFrog who said :
"First batch of handsets are still processing with our supplier for this new service.
We will have the results towards the end of next week. The service is brand new specifically for EE handsets"
They've added me to their mailing list to let me know if they can unlock it. I'm using a white unlocked 920 ATM but I really want a yellow one, all of which are locked to EE in the UK.
Wait for a month and demand EE give you the unlock code free. They are obliged to if you are on a contract phone. I am waiting for a month and will be claiming my unlock code from EE. already tried and they said a month. O2 give you the code immediately or email yo you within a week. There is really no need to use those sites unless you buy pay as you go. If you are buying buying pay as you go why would you buy a network locked phone?

Windows 8 Update Portico

HTC 8x has started getting updates of the new OS. Any news on when Lumia phones will get the update?
No news, but I assume quite fast for unlocked phones. Rest are subject to carriers I assume.

Bypass carriers, yes. Bypass OEMs, no
This should mean that we get a 920 update for each "build" of the 920 that exists, once Nokia does whatever they do to it. They should have it from Microsoft (one would think) already.

They will have it already, and it's in Nokia's interests to get it out fast and ideally beat HTC to the punch every time, as HTC have been set up as Premier Partners. Nokia want to be THE choice for WP8 buyers, so they need to be there first with the best reputation for updates and excellent hardware.
Nokia obviously has that build available because the Lumia 920T (the chinese variant) is already running that newer build of the OS.
true, must just be waiting for the rollout ok from carriers. I'll check my 8X to see if that's updating on EE, that way we should know if the carriers are slowing things down or not with a quick carrier vs unlocked update speed comparison.
(Groan) I hope it's not the carriers. Pulling teeth with oily fingers is easier than persuading AT&T to release updates in a timely manner. :\

Adding to that, does 4G still work on the generic UK ROM, as EE has 4G specific software bits, e.g. the 3G/2G toggle is now the 4G/3G toggle.
So, since I have a Rogers branded but unlocked phone and running it on Telus, what bucket would I be put in? Would I get the generic updates or the Rogers? My phone STILL says that the Mobile Operator Name is ROG-CA, so I'm not too sure what to make of my situation.

You will be under the mercy of Rogers. In order to get out of Roger's grip, you will need to be de-branded. SIM unlock means nothing. In the old days of WM7.0, you can jailbreak your phone and edit a registry to de-brand. Now, you pretty much have to flash a unbranded ROM to do it.

Same here. Love my 920, esp with T-Mobile...but it's starting to get irritating. They said the rollout finishes mid-March, which means we are technically still in the time frame they gave. However, I just wish one of the reps I talk with could let me know WHEN or IF they plan on updating the developer version. If not, I think I'm going to flash it to Rogers (or sell it and buy an ATT version when they become unlockable).

I don't think the Att versions will work on T-Mobile, and there's no way in hell I would ever be on Att. Our phone should have been the first ones upgraded since they were the first ones released.

Unlock Lumia 620 like 710/800?

I currently have a Lumia 710 (Orange UK) which I use with Virgin UK. However, I have just made the plunge to buy a Lumia 620 which comes locked on o2 UK.
Is there a way to unlock the Lumia 620 like there is the 710/800? i.e. flash a bootloader and install a custom ROM?
or should I resort to changing contracts to o2/Tesco/GiffGaff?
Thank you all for any help/advice you can give me! :highfive:
The model number of the phone (RM-846) isn't showing up on Nokia Care Suite. I guess firmware isn't available yet then!

They show up for me today. Only I don't know which one to pick, there are hundreds of variants. Any ideas for the most generic one valid on UK networks?
Hi,
No any way to unlock Lumia 610 now...
About firmware - pick one that matches to your phone's Product Code.
BTW, if you want to change the boot-loader to OSBL QUALCOMM - use ATF Flasher
it can change boot-loaders via TP. =)

Thats great. I'll take a look later today. Might flash a generic firmware to get rid of the o2 Branding.
so is it possible to sim unlock this device? i bought one but i havent opened it yet in case i cant unlock it.
I picked up the Lumia 620 on the O2 deal to play around with and requested an unlock code which O2 have sent me so can use other SIM's now and tested it with an Orange SIM.
It didn't cost me anything to get it unlocked as I am an iPhone pay monthly customer already.
The problem now is the branding. I downloaded the Nokia Care Suite and flashed the generic firmware which put it to stock but it mentioned something about the product code not being specified however it all worked fine but unsure how it would effect updates in the future.
The product code is 059R788 which looking at the firmware matches the O2 branded one so will future updates still have to wait for O2 if they are based on product codes?
For now I flashed it back to the O2 firmware using the Nokia Care Suite as there are not any updates available to check.
Cheers!

Are you able to advise how you got O2 to unlock your PAYG Lumia 620 as I asked over chat last night and they wouldn't have any of it...even though I told the I (well my wife) has an O2 iPhone contract...!?!? Their policy is based on the phone being owned for 12-months or more before being unlocked, not the PAYG SIM or Pay Monthly contract...
I threatened them with leaving and referenced the fact Vodafone would do it at any time on PAGY for £20...!!!
They've told me to ring support on 4445 directly to discuss...
Any thoughts?
Judging by the comments above, the 620 cannot yet be unlocked via firmware?

I've now re-requested an unlock code from O2 without the mention of PAYG...so I'll update you after the 7 days it takes to come through...
Fingers crossed...!!
