Is there a firmware update installed using 'official' zune upgrade? - Nokia Lumia 900

Hi All,
Just a quick question. Haven't been able to get force the update to my Lumia 900 yet. (Australian, unlocked).
Could someone let me know if when doing an official upgrade whether you also get a firmware update.
If not I might just CAB update instead.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you mean by "official upgrade," but I got my Lumia 900 upgraded to 7.8 and immediately there was a firmware upgrade from Nokia.

I did the disconnect method to download 7.8, and didn't see any firmware upgrade. What is the new firmware # and how do I get it if I don't have it?

I have Lumia 900 RM-823 and today (without disconnecting method) I updated my phone to WP 7.8.
After Microsoft's updates (8779 > 8783 > 8858), there was a Nokia update, which changed my firmware version to 2175.2905.8853.12440, so YES, there IS a firmware update. However it's lower than firmware that you get with NCS + NaviFirm method, which is 2175.2905.8858.12480.
In [CAB] Official WP7 Updates List up to WP 7.8 + ALL LANGUAGES complete + OEM updates it is called OEM update and I've just captured an URL to this file:

Glad I could help. But remember, this particular CAB is for RM-823 only.
I don't know which variant is in Australia, but you can check it by looking at the bottom of your Lumia near the speaker:

Lumia 900 RM808 Rogers version did NOT get any nokia updates, just the 3 OS updates...

No worries, mines the RM-823. I have another rom on it from Navifirm at the moment, but I want to put the correct one back on just in case.
We seem to be a bit behind here on getting the update pushed out and I don't want to sit and wait on 7.5. The start screen and double wide tiles make a massive difference!
Thanks again,
Adam

I used the disconnect method and updated my 900, two OS updates were done and one nokia firmware was done, so yes there is a firmware update...
my HD7 only had 2 OS updates no firmware updates...
I called Nokia to verify after the update and they told me that my OS and firmware is latest and greatest....
I follow the most simple way..
1. connect 900 to PC
2. turn off the wifi on PC or disconnect the network cable on PC.
3. turn on wifi on phone
4. run update on zune
5. 5 sec later turn on airplane mode on your phone.
6. you will have a msg stating you have an new update, turn on the wifi or connect network cable on your PC and update you phone.
it takes few tries to get it right...
the 7.8 OS tiles arrangement is great as it leaves very little space on the right side of the home screen.

I think you should roll back in order to get the firmware update.
im getting "LG update for Windows Phone" at the moment. Are you referring to this?

So you're saying that even if i successfully upgraded to Mango (coming from the beta 2) i have to roll back to NoDo in order to upgrade the firmware, right?
Is it a guess or something certain?
p.s.: could you tell me how to roll back (i've made the backup when i installed the beta)?

from what i'm seeing , by right you should get a LG update last . after you get all the updates to RTM . hmm .
if you didnt then i'm not sure why and hopefully someone in xda can capture the LG update and make it into a cab or something that we can easily install on our phones .

i first received the final 7720 firmware build, then beta cleanup bundle, and finally the LG update which i described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279975
Can anyone post up their updated phones firmware version numbers and also what your fps are on the fish tank test.
I got an LG update message from Zune and updated my phone from Mango RTM but the version numbers stayed the same?
Sent from my Mango
I would love for someone to do this, as I'm unable to install the "LG Update" (error 801812dc) with no known solutions.

I took a photo of the phone's firmware before the LG update and I'm pretty sure it was 1.1.2.10
I can't check at the moment as I'm in the office but I'll have another look when I get home later.
EDIT: I'm back home and have checked the photo again and your right the firmware was 1.0.2.10 so it did get updated, guess I shouldn't have had those beers last night :-D
oh man . mine is still running 1.0.1.10 . which is like ancient . Z

YES. I love the Optimus 7 exceept bluetooth. My blackberry has 10000x better bluetooth.
Ugh, I'd really love for someone to either grab the files and put them in a cab with instructions, or tell me how to do it. Otherwise, I'm going to have to send my phone back to the manufacturers to be fixed.

Updating Nokia Lumia 710 RM-809 (T-Mobile/Rogers)

Hello all,
So after updating my Lumia 710 from Rogers, in the "About" screen of the Diagnostic Tool I see that I am on FW revision 1600.3007.7740.11465. This is a few versions behind what seems to be the latest version out there for unlocked variants of the phone...
So I found this page:
http://www.wpcentral.com/hack-t-mobile-lumia-710-flash-windows-phone-os-8107-new-firmware
Which claims that they have flashed the latest Indian firmware (8107.12070) for the RM-803 variant of the phone onto the T-Mobile (RM-809) version. However I am somewhat reluctant to try flashing an RM-803 image onto an RM-809, especially due to the fact that they support different 3G bands. What do you guys think?
Alternatively, I can see in Navifirm+ that the latest available image for the RM-809 is the Australian 8107.12050, so that might be a safer choice?
This will be the first time I try to manually update a Windows Phone... So what do you guys think? I really want to update it since there are some GMail syncing issues on the build that I'm running now.
I updated my lumia 710 from rogers (RM-809) with the RM-803 indian rom 12070 with no problems! Nothing is missing and it's now unbranded If you follow this guide it's really simple!
Thanks, Simon!
After reading your post, I gave it a shot and everything seems to be working fine I wonder if we should be seeing any battery life improvements like the Lumia 800 users?
Just something I should mention, though: I unlocked my phone so that I could use it on Wind Mobile, but after going through the flashing process, the phone became locked again so I had to re-enter my unlock code.
I didn't know that it was even possible for a phone to become locked again, after already having been unlocked...
I am thinking about getting a Lumia 710, and I am really surprised that you guys were able to flash a firmware from another RM-### without bricking the phone.
I currently own the X7 (RM659) from the Rogers and I was told not to flash the Belle firmware from the X& (RM707) since the phone will get bricked.
Nonetheless, thanks a lot for the info.
Which software do you use to flash? Phoenix or WP7 requires other tools? Never mind I found the post detailing how to debrand it.
The weird thing is... I tried to downgrade from the Indian (RM-803) 1070 build to the Australian (RM-809) 1050 build, and I wasn't able to...
It seems there is a small battery bug (Diagnostic tool doesn't display battery info) so that's why I tried to install the Australian one instead.
Whenever the next update comes along, I hope I'll be able to switch back to an RM-809 build... It seems like the safe way to go.

Normally you shouldn't... But the only reason I did it is because other people had successfully done it.
Also keep in mind that Symbian phones seem to be a little pickier - you can brick them just by trying to downgrade to the previous OS.
Edit: Well that's weird... My Battery Status randomly started working!
Edit #2: I just remembered I did a battery pull, so that may have had something to do with why it is fixed now...
I never knew it was possible to downgrade the OS for Nokia phones whether it is Symbian or WP.
Would an unlocked T-Mobile Lumia 710 work fine on the Rogers network? Do the GSM bands match?
It would indeed. The RM-809 model supports HSPA 850/1700/1900/2100. So it will work on any of the North American operators. (excluding the cdma operators like Verizon and Sprint, of course)
Actually, I bought my Lumia 710 from Rogers, unlocked it, and I am using it on Wind Mobile now (same hspa band as t-mobile).
Edit: I hope you're right about the downgrading thing, since that would mean that the reason I wasn't able to flash back to RM-809 was because of the fact that it's a downgrade, as opposed to something being messed up on the phone! I guess I'll find out when the next update comes along.
I am 100% sure you cannot downgrade Nokia firmwares without bricking the phone. I read about one method somewhere, but it was very complicated.
If I were you, I wouldn't be worried, now that you have the RM-803 firmware, next time there is an RM-803 update, you should be able to update via Zune/Nokia Suite without having to go through the method you used at the beginning of the post.
Now your phone is an RM-803 so Zune will recognize it as so and update it normally hence the beauty of debranding where you don't have to wait for operators.
Hello guys i'm new to the site.
I want it to ask if i could flash my lumia 710 (t-mobile US) with the RM-809 VAR T-MOBILE BLACK version that appears in navifirm.
my nokia is DLOAD. Would that be a problem?

I was wondering that too.
Also, there's two T_Mobile 8773 fw's listed for each color phone. One appears to have been released 06/04/12. The other 05/29 . What's the differences?

Looks like your OS, FW and Radio are all 1 version behind. Bootloader didn't change.

I have seen word of a slightly newer firmware, but that's not verified.
Have you plugged your phone into a PC running Zune software?

According to the image you posted, you have a newer version installed on your phone than the Nokia Suite is showing. It appears you are ahead.
PS: When posting a photo like that, you should probably try to black out the IMEI number. I don't know if it's still being done, but in the past, people would use your IMEI number to clone another device. Would not hurt to black out the MAC also.
I just noticed that your OS and Firmware are out of sync. They should both be 8773 or 8779. How did that happen? Your 8779 Firmware may be indicating that the 8779 OS is already there. Hence, your phone may think it's up to date.

Nokia Lumia 900, RM-808 WP7.5 firmware 2175.1002.8112.12084

hi guys,
I have a Lumia 900, 059L6S0 RM-808 VAR ATT BLACK. I got this from my friend a couple of weeks back. He was facing the problem of battery drain because of the LTE connectivity issue. He has updated to 7.8 and now i do not have the option of doing the workaround of ##3282#, and toggle ENS(reboot).
I decided to downgrade to 7.5 and then try the workaround and then upgrade back to 7.8. Unfortunately, the oldest firmware i was able to get is the 2175.2301.8779.12223. I flashed that through NCS and then i found that the workaround is still not accessible.
Now i am looking for the 2175.1002.8112.12084 firmware which i believe can let me use the ENS toggle.
Am I right? If yes then where can i get that version of the firmware.
Let me state that, i have used NCS for store 5.0 2013.1.3.4. I am not able to get hold of the 2175.1002.8112.12084 for my product code though its available for other similar models.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Lumia 550 update

Hello ! Any way to get my Lumia 550 straight to FCU starting from 10586.494? I mean skipping the two steps in the middle (AU and CU). There could be a way using Over the Cable Updater or is there the firmware itself somewhere in the web which I can flash?

Windows 10 Mobile has no planned feature updates past FCU. The latest build should be 15254. Last I checked, the Lumia 550 continues to be supported thru the end of this year. In April, all users running build 15063 were bumped to 15063.1029. My Lumia 830 received that update (despite being shut out of the feature2 branch). You should check for that update first. It would be best to avoid that update on a metered connection.

Yes I know that. I was looking for a way to avoid to get through the annoying process of update from the old November Update (because I had to recover my Lumia with WDRT) and jump straight to FCU. So flashing some FCU firmware or other ways...

There is no way unless you would have someone to dump a custom ROM supporting your device from the 550 somewhere at like version 15063.297 at least or another later supported version if possible. You could always attempt to dump one your self in the event you have to completely Reset with WDRT on that device in the future. But that is up to you...You would need to read up on the Window Phone internals tool and create a custom rom that way.
edit: Actually I just looked and seems certain variants of the 550 have FW revisions all the way up to OS 10.0.10586.494. If you want further than that a custom rom is the only option.
