Unbrand your phone and get Cyan on CV 1320

[rockstarzzz]

I am on UK's worst network for updates - EE. Since 1320 CV version has Cyan rolled out, I didn't want to wait till Christmas to get this.

I've unbranded my 1320 with 3 simple steps found here - [Tutorial] Unbrand (flash) Nokia Windows Pho… | Windows Phone 8 | XDA Forum

If you are in the UK, you need a EU CV ROM. Product is RM_994 and product code is 059V762.

If you are already on DP8.1 and are going to downgrade to WP8.0 anyway, I suggest downgrading to that ROM and firmware, which is unlocked, carrier free for European users. Then looking for update. It updates 3 times in total and you will be on Cyan! By end of this week if all the rumours are true, you should also have UK Cortana on it!

Thanks for this guide , very useful for people waiting for cyan update. Have you updated your phablet if so how is it working so far ?

I said "It is EU ROM" - Cyan for CV ROMs have rolled out in many EU countries. If you are on "ANY" branded handset in the UK - you can unbrand it using this CV EU ROM and then if your country has Cyan - you get it. If not you wait for it.

Idea is - if you are going to downgrade anyway to get Cyan - you better downgrade AND unbrand your phone so even in future you can get all CV ROM udpates which are generally BEFORE any carrier approvals.

Maybe I am being thick.I am in the UK, my handset is unbranded. I rolled back to 8.0 from the DP.

In the Data Package Browser I see the firmware is:
RM-994 VAR EURO GB CV
059V762

Which is what you said to use. Do I need to trick it somehow to think I am in a EU country other than UK and download that countries firmware?

There are two ways to do this. Euro GB CV (for UK) users or Euro XX CV (for XX European country). I have grabbed a Finnish Euro CV on my phone in UK. There are links floating in "Official Cyan for 1320" thread.

If you've downgraded to WP8.0 for the above product code, you should get Cyan now as long as you didn't upgrade it to Dev Preview. I am running Cyan on my 1320 UK CV as stated in the OP.
