Easily Flash any Lumia 920 with full Amber/GDR2 features!

[Derausgewanderte]

I did but that is the one giving me the VPL file problem, can I fix it?

which version of NCS are you using?
the posted here should work fine. I've used it myself to go from Rogers Amber/GDR2 to ATT Dev

I was using a 2013 version. Too recent version. I hope this version does the trick.

that should work too, although I have not tried the ATT Dev with the latest 2013 version. Hope it helps
don't forget to click the thanks button
cheers

edit: I just tried NCS v 5.0.0 2013.38.3 and the files passed.

I'm getting the same

just to cover the basics:
once you open Product Support Tool (offline)
go to File, Open Product
type RM-820
then Programming/Recovery
Update List, check off update automatically (just in case, don't think it matters)

still not working? Then I hope somebody else has an idea. Cause I don't

Edit: Did you remove the CRC check numbers in front of the filenames? Take a close look at the image I posted. When you downloaded the files from the link I posted it contains the CRC numbers. The files have to exactly look like the ones in my posted image above and you need to remove these numbers. I think that is your problem

check here (I just googled "vpl has invalid signature" )

Use Nokia usb cable, don't use other brands

Will this work to unlock internet sharing on Nokia Lumia 520?

 

[bryanstevecl]

Ok, I already flashed it. The problema was as I was focusin only on the VPL file and I hadn't realize I had also to remove the hash from the other files. Lol, sorry guys it was all my fault. Thank you for your patience and help.

for anyone interested, I found a solution to having a complete rom with working internet sharing after keyboard fix...I'm using the Euro Australian/new Zealand 3049 rom as an alternative to the French and Rogers 3047 roms and it is great! here is a review I posted on xda Dev, a part of the member "Snickler" thread: xda-developers - View Single Post - Lumia 920 Amber Update via Rogers Dev ROM I have reason to believe that internet sharing is permanently fixed because I started the access point app by accident after using internet sharing all day and it didn't break the feature on this rom, not sure what would happen if I updated access point app, but will test this later.

I knew it....
That is exactly why pictures are often better than words .
"Does it look exactly like this capture?"

could you comment whether this would allow tethering on any plan, like the French rom, which lets you use tethering free even on a plan that you would have to pay for otherwise?

 

[Abelardo Dauhajre]

So, I'm downloading the wrong rom? Then, where can I download AtT dev rom?

I did it using the xda process with the chinese program

 

[Derausgewanderte]

I did it using the xda process with the chinese program

that is certainly the more "interesting" way of doing it

I went to the MS store and exchanged my phone. I received the GDR2 update but I do not see glance feature. Is it hidden?

I had to get it via SysApp Pusher (get in store). My wife's got it automatically. While you are at it, also update other system apps.
It's under settings and not hidden.

starting access point isnt the problem, switching from lte2 is what kills ics

sorry for ignoring you but I would be surprised if it worked, although I've seen other people use this to flash other Lumia devices (have no links - sorry, just from memory). My guess is that the 520 is too different.
As long as you find the correct rom through ncs by using your product code, it should work. No idea whether the 520 rom has same features.
I am using Tether-X for tethering and it works fine. It's not a one-click solution but works between my L920 and Surface RT.

Hey guys, I'm having a really tough time flashing my Lumia 920. I flashed my AT&T 920 to the portico (I think) ROM. It may have been the French ROM, not really sure. All I know is my device by default goes into a different language when it boots for the first time.

I'm trying to flash back to the AT&T firmware. So I downloaded the RM-820 firmware and created a folder in NCS called RM-821, and copied all of the files there so that NCS would read it, since it thinks I'm using an RM-821 now. However it says my software status is "Not Upgradable", and when hitting start, it gives me a message saying the recovery failed, unable to get error message.

if you used the Rogers pre portico route, then we don't know a way back to att stock at this point. You should be able to flash the French amber rom though (or Rogers amber).
