NaviFirm+ Finally Locked-out from Nokia Caresuite servers

[ttsoldier]

Pros: Everyone will be on the same firmware when rolled out OTA. No more wondering and complaining about which version is "newer" or "different"

Cons: Bricked Lumia are going to be a b^%*h

 

[markfive]

Yes, it's going to be a pain being limited to OTA. Grrrr.

 

[jjmurphy]

I'm not sure why people still use Navifirm. I fixed my bricked phone with only Nokia Care Suite. I'm guessing that Nokia doens't want to support multiple tools for the same thing.

They've locked out NCS as well...

The Cache trick works, but there is no 1314 for the RM-821, just for RM-820. But maybe there was no Update at all for this Version (at least before they closed the Access)

I assume Nokia Software Updater for Retail still works for re-flashing, as that never required login credentials. That gives you the option to do a clean flash with the latest firmware only.

sad, they locked it the day i plan to download and install the update for my 920t. my rm821 didn't have the 1314

We can still use product codes to download firmware from NCS. The cache from Navifirm should contain the product codes, although this will only provide you the latest firmware (that is unfortunate if you want to downgrade, which rarely what anyone wants). Future handsets (probably the 928) could use some product code sharing forum.

nope they are not.

There's an update to ncs available, anyone downloaded yet? Version 5.0 is showing as the newer version.

I also see there is updated firmware for the RM-821 VAR APAC AU CV Black. The updated firmware being advertised is 1232.5962.1314.0004

 

[dragonstar101]

Why is blocked navifirm a problem?
I mean can't you access the firmware by nokia online login?

 

[markfive]

nope they are not.

It looked like they had last night - I could search downloads by product id in NCS but actual download requests just sat there and did nothing. I didn't have a chance to investigate further.

 

[turisz]

Nokia should enable downloading firmwares through Navifirm again!
get their attention!

 

[WorzelGummage]

Hopefully someone out there will offer a solution to this. Something along the lines of what SamMobile provide for Samsung phones by hosting leaked firmware packages

Oooo, thats my fw!
Could we get a copy of your cache files please?

Edit: found it here: https://mega.co.nz/#!OhhUVRqD!S9qVZSE5b0MkhAYki2Vj3Wvfp7Yr4pD2c0c2m6ID4kA
Wow mega! 700 kb/s download Thats impressive!!

(I was sceptical of the size initially, but it uncompresses to 1.38gb)

 

[vemulasri]

Anyone has a cache for Lumia 900 with 7.8 update? For some reason I do not have the update on my AT&t unlocked Lumia 900.

That wasn't reported by Navifirm+, i plugged my phone in and used NCS. I was then offered the latest firmware but couldn't download.

I'm trying the update for NCS now to see if that changes things. If not, i've also grabbed from the link above too.
