Hi Michael,
Thanks for that - great info.
I am, however, having a few problems.
I have a 925 32MB on Vodafone and want to de-brand to EE / UK.
I have the Care Suite. Downloaded product RM-892 VAR GB EE SL BLACK 059S7G4 ( UNBRANDED + 4G OPTION ), renamed it to 821.
Went to OPEN PRODUCT.
Selected the RM892 which is correct. After a few moments of trying I get an error saying RECOVERY FAILED and the message in the box being "MESSAGE SEND FAILED".
I have tried this on two separate Win8 PC's with the same results.
Any ideas / help appreciated.
Also, one quick question - does this also unlock the phone as its still locked to Vodafone?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
Hi Rob, I did this last night after too many beers but eventually cracked it after many false starts. I went from unbranded to EE (needed the 4g). You'll be glad to know there is almost no bloatware/visibile branding with the EE rom so it's just like unbranded but with 4g!
A couple of areas where you might be going wrong:
1)Have you put the phone in flash mode? Hold volume-down key and power button key until you feel the vibrate, and you should load up in flash mode. Then try it again. You'll probably get ANOTHER error message although this one might then ask you to hold the keys down one more time. If you do this You'll get a nokia splash screen and if you try it then, it should work.
2)did you rename the ONLY THE FOLDER to rm-821 and nothing else right?
3)I havent read this on THIS forum, but on another forum it says that only very specific versions of the NCS will actually work now when doing this. I'm not sure if this is true but this is the version I used: [url=http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f805/download-official-nokia-firmware-without-navifirm-1656870/
- (it's the first link there. You need to put that userconfig file into the C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Product Support Tool folder, replacing the one that is already there.
