Re: (4 new Pcodes) How to: get the Portico update for the Global Lumia 920. (Clean install)
Anyone know?
I flashed the unbranded UK firmware onto my unbranded Swedish (telenor) phone yesterday. I haven't had any real problems so far, however, the phone gets a little bit hotter than it used to during light use. Not sure if this is just me or if others experience this as well?
Anyway, in your case I'm not sure (since I haven't tried it) and I won't advise you to do it nor be liable for any possible issues that follow such an update, but it seems to be possible as long as you stick to the correct rm-820/rm-821 version. There's people who flashed UK phones with other european firmwares, another swedish phone with t-mobile german firmware and so on.
I think you would want (and I certainly will) reflash the phone with the correct firmware once the update is officially released for my phone and region.
Also, you will most likely have to set up the Data/MMS connection manually through the "Access Point" selection in the settings list.
Another thing to consider is that different firmwares allow different radios. For instance I cannot access any 4G networks with the UK firmware (which I could with the previous correct firmware) but that doesn't bother me since my provider doesn't have 4G yet.
