11501 firmware update for unlocked devices

tewmgd · Jan 24, 2012

Hello,

I have an unlocked Lumia 800 bought in the UK (using here in Canada). I was wondering if the update is showing up for others owners like me ? I didn't get any notification yet.

Info :

OS : 7.10.8107.79
FW: 1600.2479.7740.11451
HW : 112.1402.2.4
Carrier : CV UK SW variant ID222 v02 (don't know what it means)

Update rollout via Zune is staged meaning not every phone gets the update on the same time. The rollout period is two weeks and started on Jan 19th. You will receive it in the end. There is a 'hack' to get it sooner, put it requires some patients as timing is critical, search for 'disconnect trick'. Good luck.

Thanks. Yes I remember this old trick of disconnecting at the right time, I'm going to wait on this one

You have the same phone as me (UK unlocked & unbranded). The line you don't understand basically means it's a UK variant.

For the mid December update, I waited to get it, took over a week. This time I did the disconnect method and got it on release day.

Hi Rusty, I havn't got the update yeat and I have a UK unlocked Lumia 800. BUT I am wondering on another note. I joined GG last wek and it seems good. I inputted the APN info so I can get on the net but I cant send MMS. I am going to write up a new thread for this now. Can you use MMS and if so how so?
Thanks.

Rusty! · Jan 25, 2012

I've not tried, but I'm assuming I cant, as most people on pretty much every carrier cant

Sadly Giffgaff is not included in the Network Setup app either, so we're boned.

Thanks for getting back. Will have to wait and see than. Just don't know why MSFT can't give us this

Very strange. I have a stock Lumia straight from Nokia (no branding, unlocked) and I got both the OS and firmware update in one go the day after release. I had to do the disconnect trick though...

anseio · Jan 26, 2012

I've tried 3 times. I got the OS update automatically on day one. I restored to 7740 and tried again. Still OS only. Tried a few days later and got the same thing.

Waiting up to 8 more days for firmware.

I am still waiting for the 11500 update as well and I sincerely hope Nokia have done something to improve the woefull bass output.

Still waiting for the firmware update. I got the OS update a few days ago and my mate got the firmware and OS the same day. Only difference is his is the black lumia 800 and mine is the Cyan lumia 800

17-apg · Jan 27, 2012

Mine is cyan as well. Did ur mate notice any differnce to sound? We are hoping for more bass

The bass on mine and his seems fine. We both have the monster purity earphones.

Thanks, Lets hope they fixed it. It is just crap on mine, can't use it at all as music player specially as I loke loads of bass. I use winstone 4 and the sound is a disgrace for Nokia.

tewmgd · Jan 28, 2012

Can someome point me to a thread/post where the disconnect method is described?

Rusty! · Jan 28, 2012

Click update, after a couple of seconds, pull your ethernet cable/disable your net connection and if you timed it right, you'll get the update.

Still no FW update, but I have updated my OS with the disconnect-trick in Zune. Will I still get the FW or not trough Zune?

I originally did the disconnect trick and the only update I got was for the OS. I tried again and again using the disconnect trick but I could not get the firmware update.

Then my friend got the update for his Black Lumia 800 which contained the firmware update as well. So I restored my Cyan Lumia 800 to the previous version. The very first boot up of my phone said there was an update available but it was only for the OS, no firmware.

I tried the disconnect trick again but I still can't get the firmware update.

Hopefully we will all get it this week.

Good news! Nokia have released a statement saying they will be releasing another update to fix both the sound and camera.

I tried the disconnect method but can't get working. I switch to Airplane mode, plug the phone, go to update page on Zune. Do the same again and disconnect at various time but no luck.

I have already the 8107 OS update
