GUIDE: Flash and Convert AT&T Lumia 920 to Indian Lumia 920 (or aCountry Variant of your choice) with official Lumia Black + GDR3 (if

Released for selected country)

For Whom does this Guide Work Best For?

I created this for people who are using an AT&T 920 outside of the US, unlocked for another carrier and want to get theofficial GDR3+Black update AND lift all the ATT ROM restrictions+branding (internet sharing locked, AT&T logo onboot, AT&T apps pre-loaded - which are not of use for anyone outside the US)

Following this will de-brand your device (no AT&T apps, no boot logo, removal of tethering restriction etc) and convertyour phone to a 920 variant of your country - i.e. It will become as if you have an unbranded (non-carrier) 920 whichwas bought from the country whose ROM you select to flash. The Lumia 920 comes in 3 variants : RM-820 (NORTHAMERICAN VARIANT -- AT&T and ROGERS CA), RM-821 (INTERNATIONAL), RM-822 (CHINESE CDMA) - moreinfo here:

INFO:

If you follow this guide your ATT 920 (RM-820) will become an International 920 (RM-821),

One change to your post, RM-820 is the North America variant (Rogers, CA 920 is RM-820 too).

Also I am glad it worked for you finally :)

BTW not sure but if someone can try this, Rogers GDR2 ROM is available on NCS now so I was wondering if the AT&Tphone can be flashed directly to Rogers GDR2 and then the Indian variant. Doing this will save an additional step ofmanually downloading the updates after Pre-Portico ROM flash.

Thanks!! Appreciate your feedback! Your Avatar is awesome BTW

Thanks to your help

Fixed, thanks for the tip. Would this guide work for someone looking to change their Rogers 920 to a non-NorthAmerican country variant? If so, I could add it in the guide.

And you are spot on - after installing the Rogers ROM availble from NCS, if we are able to flash an RM-821 ROM, Ireckon that would save around 1 hour! **OR** if going to pre-portico Rogers --> OTA update is the only way to get NCSto flash an RM-821 rom on an RM-820. if somehow we could dump the ROM from the 920 which is at 8.0.10211.204(the version after we do an OTA update on the pre-portico Rogers) - it would save a lot of time

^^ Also the Rogers 920 ROM has field test mode enabled while the Indian ROM doesn't. If one is used to force 3Gmode on their 920, they better stick w/ the Rogers 920 ROM

Hi invictus

Strange, I just ran the rogers file again and extracted it just fine - I will look into this later --From your screenshot, I think you are all set to flash. The files should be in this folder :

C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\

I am attaching a screenshot of the rm-820 folder in my PC

It is rm-820

you are correct - in step 3, type to be entered is RM-821 and not RM-820 -- thanks for brining this to my notice, I havefixed it in the guide.

Revert back if you run into any issues. let me know how the flashing went for you


and... how should I name the folder in C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\ ? "RM-820"?

ANDDD... in step 3... in Product support tool for store, click on file, open product...... shouldn't I typerm-821 instead rm-820 as you wrote? otherwise, I'll re-flash the pre-portico! please help!

please reply

If you are referring to option for selecting highest connection speed, the options are 2G and 3G for Indian ROM. Fieldtest option not present in Indian ROM for forcing 2g only/3g only. Maybe available in other country roms.

Hi there, quick question: if I unlocked my AT&T phone prior to flashing, and then I flashed it to the Rogers variant,would that have any effect on the phone unlocking?

Thanks for the reply invictus!

I decided to give this a shot, but I'm running into trouble installing Nokia Care Suite. It keeps saying that fuse.dll hasfailed to register, so when I try to open up the Product Support Tool, the app crashes. I'm obviously missing something,but I'm not sure what it is. Has anybody had this problem?

I did not face this problem -- but it looks like this dll file is not present in your system. I would suggest you go to this link- download the zip file which contains the .dll file and paste that .dll file into respective system folder (you can findinstructions on the download page) -- OR -- you can try a solution posted on Nokia discussions forum

Hi montsa007 -- you are right -- buying one from India itself is better I think -- I have found some online stores sellingthe 920 for ~27,000 -- if you buy from India, you get a new phone with warranty and 1 year Nokia Music Unlimited(worth around Rs.1,100) -- overall it's a good deal.

Thanks for clarifying this -- will add it to the guide

register fuse.dll error. I even tried installing the program without Fuse, but nada. When I try to open Product SupportTool, I get this error:

"Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {6BCF7DCA-7B86-453E-BC72-724E0E656B95} faileddue to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154(REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))."

I wanted to switch my AT&T over to Rogers in order to snag GDR2 and Amber, but if I can't flash it that's alright. I'mactually more curious now as to what the problem is with my Nokia Care Suite...

You can try a factory reset (settings---->about---->reset your phone) before flashing your phone and see if that fixes it.Be warned though, resetting may soft brick your 920 (stuck in spinning gears screen -- if this happens, the phone canbe brought back to life using itxjobe's guide) -- if you are trying a reset, uninstall all apps from the phone, copy over alldata (pictures, videos, songs etc) in the phone memory to your PC and delete everything from the phone memory, thentry a reset.

Do you have visual C++ 2005 installed in your sysyem? If no, please try uninstalling NCS, installing Visual C++Redistribute 2005 (link) and then re-install NCS

Now I'm feeling really stupid, but...I'm getting an error when I try to download my country variant. It keeps sayingAccess denied. Verify credentials. I followed the steps exactly, replacing the .cfg file, extracting the pre-portico file, thenopening NCS and looking for my country variant. I really can't believe I'm running into so many problems.

Also, I found a list of RM-820 variants here, you should be able to spot the white Rogers variant. I think it's this one, butyou can browse yourself:

Hi again, so I solved a few problems as I was going along, and hopefully this helps with anyone using the guide.Apparently I needed a different version of NCS, which I found here: ...:: Download official Nokia firmware withoutNavifirm+ ::.. - GSM-Forum

Also, it appears that at step 3, when you install the specific country variants, it is imperative that you flash thepre-portico version before you download the country variant, otherwise the AT&T version won't support anything else.From there, you can proceed with the other steps. I'm still in the process of updating the phone, but I think I'm in theclear right now. Thanks so much for posting this!
