Advice Needed

[jmoakk]

I have a T-Mobile Nokia 710 that turned out to be a Demo Unit, product code 059L3R1. I figured out how to remove the demo software by flashing "RM-809 T-Mobile Black 1600.3007.7740.11465" from NaviFirm. However, Zune won't find any updates from this point. Maybe because of my product code?

What should I do from this point to update? I would like to stay on a stock version of the T-Mobile USA firmware. What are my options? Any help would be appriciated. Thanks!

Unless I am completely mistaken, your phone is still a T-Mobile branded phone and will receive updates as approved by T-Mo USA. No matter what firmware you loaded onto it. My recommendation is to try the update "trick" detailed in this thread: http://forums.windowscentral.com/lumia-710/194244.htm

Thanks! I followed this and it worked! wow that can't be how they intended for their software to update lol.

Try this is Zune says your phone is up to date.

turn the phone into airplane mode.

check in zune for an update if it says its upto date click ok, the press one above or below the update option.

next click update and around 2-3seconds disconect from your internet conection, hopefully it will say update available, reconect click ok, and sit back

Ive just done this for my 710 and its updating now.
