Firmware versions

[5witcher]

I want to downgrade my Lumia 720 from Black to Portico. I have two questions. I used Nokia Care Suite and NaviForm+ and found out that there are quite a few versions of Portico:

1030.6409.1311.0001
1030.6409.1311.0002
1030.6409.1311.0003
1030.6409.1311.0004
1030.6409.1311.0005

So the first question is - are these any different? I have a theory that ...0001 version is carrier-free and ...0002/...0003/...0004/...0005 are for Vodafone, etc.

Also, I don't know how to find ROM that's stuck with the latest version of Portico and will not update to Amber/Black. Can anyone give a hint, please?

If I were to guess, its that the last digits indicate which carrier, but which to which I do not know. Differences are likely the carrier branding and stuff.

What variant of the 720 do you have?

No ROM is "stuck" per se, but I doubt any WP ROM would update without your permission.

Also, others would be curious too, why the downgrade?

I hope so!

What variant of the 720 do you have?

I have Australian RM-885 sim-unlocked variant.

Yes, but I hope to find ROM that doesn't have update for Amber/Black available - the sole reason is that I don't want updates for Amber/Black to show up in the store. It is easy to hit them accidentally while updating apps - if I do so, I will have to downgrade my phone all over again (oops).

Also, others would be curious too, why the downgrade?

I bought Lumia 720 because it is capable of shooting good pictures in low light conditions. Amber/Black updates ruined camera for me - now all evening shots are blurry and washed out. That's why I want to return to Portico. I made the comparison between Portico/Amber/Black camera quality here, if you are interested: http://forums.windowscentral.com/no...-quality-comparison-solution-downgrading.html

Black is already available for Cambodia Lumia 720, as far as I understand: Availability in Asia Pacific - Nokia

And I don't know the country code for Cambodia

Phew... So I used brute force (I checked every code found here xda-developers - View Single Post - [INFO] All WP8 Nokia Lumia Product Type & Product Code ) and got this list of Portico ROMs:

059T0F4 RM-885 VAR LTA CL CLARO SL BLACK = 1030.6409.1311.0002
059T0F5 RM-885 VAR LTA CL CLARO SL WHITE = 1030.6409.1311.0002
059S615 RM-885 VAR NL VODAFONE WHITE = 1030.6409.1311.0001

059S5D3 RM-885 VAR AT ORANGE BLACK = 1030.6409.1311.0001
059S0W2 RM-885 LTA YELLOW SWAP = 1030.6409.1311.0001
059S0W5 RM-885 LTA CYAN SWAP = 1030.6409.1311.0001
059S0W0 RM-885 LTA WHITE SWAP = 1030.6409.1311.0001

059S0V0 RM-885 ZA YELLOW SWAP = 1030.6409.1311.0001
059S0T6 RM-885 ZA RED SWAP = 1030.6409.1311.0001

Quite a few! So I stroke off the list carrier-specific ROMs (Claro, Vodafone, Telenor, Conecel, Orange, LTA, SWAP, 3) and here's what I have now:

059S6J8 RM-885 VAR MEA3 KE TZ UG ZM AV YELLOW = 1030.6409.1311.0001
059S6J6 RM-885 VAR MEA3 KE TZ UG ZM AV WHITE = 1030.6409.1311.0001

What do you guys think? Did I miss some other carrier?

nay, I have the 920

Black is already available for Cambodia Lumia 720, as far as I understand: Availability in Asia Pacific - Nokia

And I don't know the country code for Cambodia

I've already asked folks who use it and they say they got nothing

I don't know the country code for Cambodia, so I can't identify which ROM is Cambodian one.

I've found the product code for all colors in Cambodia, but flashing is the only solution since there's no Amber.

flashing

Is there any other method than flashing?

the Cambodian L720s need to be flashed, cuz Amber is never available, so OTA update won't work. It's the official firmware for Cambodia anyway, and for all colors, so that won't void the warranty.

pookyjoralyn, well, I don't know how to identify Cambodian ROM from this list... And, anyway, Black is already available for Cambodian ROM, so OTA update can be installed I already downgraded my phone with "059S0T4 RM-885 ZA WHITE SWAP", it's a clean United Kingdom ROM, Amber/Black are not available for it!

Search for"KH CV" , I've found all colors for all phones

pookyjoralyn, as you can see, there is no KH CV in the list of firmware I posted in this thread, so there is no Cambodia ROM with Portico available from Nokia Care Suite anymore. Maybe it can be found on the internet somewhere, but there is no need for it - there are a lot of other Portico ROMs (again, they are all listed in this thread).
