Step by step to update your 810 to GDR2/Amber...

[bsipe9]

Follow these steps to get your Lumia 810 to OS to 8.0.1327.77 and your fw to 3043.0000.1326.0017
This update effectively performs a hard reset on your device so be sure to backup app lists, texts, pics and videos.

First, you can start the torrent d/l of the update files I've shared (and hopefully others are still sharing)
attempt 2.torrent
The file is compressed as a .rar to make it easier to share (521 MB vs 1300 MB)
If you don't have winrar, 7-zip or something similar for extracting .rar files, google one and install.
When the torrent is finished, double click on the rm-878.rar and extract it somewhere easy to find (like desktop)


Download and install the Nokia Software Updater for Retail 3.0.8
http://jkorondy.com/NokiaLumia920/Nokia_Software_Updater_For_Retail_3.0.8.exe


If the Nokia Software is running, close it, then...

You have to click on Organize when you open my computer or are in C:/ Organize > Folder and Search Options > View (tab) > and make sure you have "Show hidden files, folder and drives" checked or circled. then press Apply > Ok and then "ProgramData" folder in your C: drive will show up.

Navigate to C:// ProgramData/Nokia/Packages/Products/
Inside the Products folder is where you'll place the entire rm-878 folder so that it now looks like
C:// ProgramData/Nokia/Packages/Products/rm-878/ with eleven files inside

Restart the Nokia Software Updater, connect your Lumia 810.
Click on Server Configuration, then click the Work Offline box near the bottom.

It should take you bake to the Home tab with the option now to update to 3043.0000.1326.0017
Click Update and follow the onscreen steps.


If I wasn't clear on a particular step let me know and I'll edit as necessary. I know at least one user dave0538 was successful with my torrent files, so good luck!

Smart Cam is not the same, too bad that proxy doesn't work that would have been a way to download it since your phone model isn't recognized.

Your very welcome. Glad I could help and glad it worked out for you.
If everyone would continue to share the torrent at least for a day or two that would be helpful since we're not a huge population. I'll keep it active on my end for as long as I can.

I've been sick and feverish for the past couple days, and I'm 50% sure I'm dreaming.

WAKE UP! Take some tylenol then proceed to step one above. The cure to all that ails you is witnessing Amber on your Lumia 810!

because you don't have Lumia 928 or 925 etc

 

[PB_H]

Mine failed to update it wouldn't connect.

Tried 3 times and I'm not gonna risk "breaking" (the warning) the phone.

 

[markdotinc]

Yea, I tried to work through it just now, but my phone isnt showing up on NSU; it just asks me to connect a device.

(juz joking )

p.s but lumia 620 and 820 have smartcam too, i have no idea about 810, such a lame

Yea, I tried to work through it just now, but my phone isnt showing up on NSU; it just asks me to connect a device.

I just connected to a different USB port on my laptop and the driver installed and phone connected that port I had been using has a bad connection I forgot about that.

I'm leaving in up for a few days and seeding.

So did you get it installed PB_H?

 

[markdotinc]

FML, I've tried all the usb ports, no luck. I can open up the sync app and transfer stuff to my phone, but NSU is still asking me to connect a device. noooooooo....
