How can I get AWS bands back on a bricked Rogers Lumia 920?

Hello everybody,
My Rogers Lumia 920 (unlocked and pentaband beforehand) was bricked mysteriously overnight and I came across the instructions to unbrick the phone. In my NaviFirm search, I noticed that the Rogers ROMs (releases 1232.2109.1242.1002 i believe) for the RM-820 have disappeared as there are many screenshots of them which were posted a few weeks ago. As a last resort, I flashed the AT&T ROM onto my 920 and I have lost the ability to use my phone on Wind mobile and all other AWS networks. Does anybody by chance have an already downloaded Rogers ROM they could share with me? Are there any other roms for the 920 that don't have the AWS bands disabled?
Thanks in advanced!

well someone posted links but you cannot flash your 920 with the portico version we need someone who still has the Apollo on his computer.

My Lumia 920 bricked a couple of days after I upgraded it to Portico (through standard OTA). When I plugged my bricked device to the Nokia Care Suite, the Suite itself scanned and picked up my device's firmware (from Rogers, and Portico) automatically. I did not use NaviFirm to achieve this, just the Care Suite, just follow the Suite's instructions and you should be fine.

People who ended up with AWS disabled on bricked developer devices , should check this thread for enabling aws ! [Q] How can I get AWS bands back on a bricked Rogers Lumia 920? - Page 4 - xda-developers

I have a developer edition 920. Flashed to att firmware after it got bricked. I wanted to flash it back to RM-821 euro developer rom. But since it's RM-820 and not 'bricked', the method from the sticky post seemed not to work. Could you explain how you did that? Thanks

My case was similar , I first flashed my bricked dev to att rom and then to rogers rom. I followed all the usual steps needed to flash the euro developer rom. While flashing It should give some error saying product code not supported , but just continue. First try flashing your device to rogers rom , as for some reason devices with att rom are having problems while flashing the developer rom. Navifirm must show the portico roger roms if not follow this link (Nokia Lumia Series ROMs - Firmware Backups - xda-developers)

well, I first tried to flash it with Rogers Rom 059Q6W4 (1232.5951.1249.1) when it got bricked the first time. There was platform id problem. Then I managed to flash it with ATT rom 059L848. That was the story before I found out there was RM821 euro developer rom. gave that a try yesterday. Flashed the phone with RM 821 059R4H6 (1232.5951.1249.1002). platform id problem again and bricked the phone. still unable to flash it with Rogers ROM and I flashed it back to ATT rom. and now I am with ATT again. So may I ask which att and rogers roms did you use?

Edit: BTW, as I mentioned I managed to flash the phone with att rom 059L848 when it got bricked the first time. Yesterday when I tried to flash it with euro developer rom and I connected the phone to Nokia Care Suite, it showed the product code 059R2L5. Odd.

Everytime you flash a rom , reset the phone (from settings, about ).

Now after you have reset the device ,try flashing your current AT&T Rom with Rogers Rom (1232.2109.1242.1002) .Use this link to get this pre portico version (Lumia920 RM-820 1232.2109.1242.1001).

((To be able to flash them/use them after downloading you might need to rename each file removing the checksum from the file name.
985F2CE8_RM820_1232.2109.1242.1002_RETAIL_nam_cana da_200_02_100347_prd_signed.ffu would be renamed to
RM820_1232.2109.1242.1002_RETAIL_nam_canada_200_02 _100347_prd_signed.ffu and so on for the other remaining files))

Once you have flashed it with Rogers Rom you could try flashing it with the RM821 Euro developer rom. If it fails and bricks your device flash it again with Rogers Rom (1232.2109.1242.1002) Now reset the device and flash it with portico Rogers Rom (1232.5951.1249.0001) this was the Rom I had when I flashed the developer rom. Once you have the portico Rogers Rom , reset the phone and then flash Euro developer rom (RM821_1232.5951.1249.1002). This worked for me , just to be on the safe side make sure you have installed 'Fuse Drivers' from the Nokia Care Suite installation directory. Hope this helps !

Can I ask why you need to reset the phone each time I flash a rom? Does it change the product code on the phone to the one of the rom I just flashed, as my phone still shows my original one on Nokia software updater

Will you happen to have this ROM still by any chance? I lost my AWS frequencies with the update to WP8.1 and haven't been able to get them back after several flashes.

Thanks.
