Hi there,

i proudly present SimpleROM v1.0 for the Nokia Lumia 900

As the ATF-Team released the Qualcomm bootloader for the Lumia 900 just a couple of days ago, i decided to cook a quick rom for it. :)

Code:
[B][U]Changelog v1.0:[/U][/B]

Basic rom RM-823: RM-823 VAR EU GB CV BLACK - 2175.2905.8858.12480
Basic rom RM-808: RM-808 VAR ATT BLACK - 2175.2307.8858.12480
Languages: All official languages

- Full Unlock v4 
- Root Manager
- XapDeployer
- customizable SearchKey
- Wmdc

thanks to [B]ultrashot [/B]for his great development!!

But note: You are using this rom at your OWN RISK! You can not blame me or xda if you brick your device!
AND: I DO NOT HAVE THE RM-808 PHONE !! So i could NOT test it!! I just cooked the rom and it should be ok!

Please give feedback when you tested the rom!! :good:


Download:

RM-823 for EU:
SimpleROM v1.0 for Lumia 900 RM-823

By any chance can you tell me how to install this?

But any chance can you explain how to unlock the bootloader on the rm-808

Guys,
let me ask you one thing: Did you read a little through the forum? did you do any searching?
Ok, this is Lumia 900 section, but in the Lumia 800 section, this was discussed a couple of times now... Everyone is asking the same, i bet your answer's already posted anywhere here on xda :p

But ok then, once more:
To be able to flash a custom rom to your Nokia Lumia 900, 800, 710, you need to have the qualcomm bootloader on your phone.
To get this, you need to follow a nice tutorial for Lumia 710, but for Lumia 800 and Lumia 900 you need a couple more things:

1. You need ATF flasher box
2. You need good soldering skills or the special atf cables from gpg industries

Here's a tutorial to SIM-Unlock a Lumia 800: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f609/nokia-lumia-800-unlocked-done-via-tp-atf-nitro-tutorial-1564470/
This is almost the same procedure for "bootloader-unlocking" your Lumia 800 and Lumia 900. You just do not need to click SP-Unlock, you need to click "boot repair" (and select qualcomm, of course).

Here's the thread of the special cables: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2112984

So, if you don't want, or can't buy such a box, check for a local phone repair shop in your town/city. If they have ATF, i'm sure they can do this for you for a small amount.

Yeah, good news!
My Lumia 900 arrived today. I'm going to disassemble it now and flash the qualcomm bootloader to it.
Then i'll test my own rom (rm-823) ;) :good:

Very helpful, just curious, do you think this will ever lead to a software based full unlock? Or will we always have to open up the phone to unlock the 900?

I think ATF software version 5.91 or higher allow flash boot without opening phone, if wrong pls correct. Because i read ATF log and found this.

That mode is equivalent to flashing using Care Suite or NSS Pro. It only accepts signed FW images.

The JTAG and UART ports discovered in the SIM slot are more promising, someone should check out if they are actually useful.

I thought it would be as easy as flashing a new rom onto an android phone.

It is actually very easy, once you've got your bootloader unlocked. But doing this, can be a real pain... ;)

is there a faster way of unlocking your bootloader instead of going through this long rigorous process

    pretty cool what you can do with a nail filer and tweezers :D
    Let's see how the soldering goes :good:

    Here we go! :)

    Yes, it worked! :)
    Finally, i managed to "boot repair" my Lumia 900 to qualcomm :)
    That damn soldering took me more than 3 days :D

    But now my Lumia 900 is qualcomm :good: *hooray* :good::good:

    So, i'm making a backup of all 9 partitions of my phone now using ubuntu.
    After that, i'll flash my rom and see how it goes ;)

    Be prepaired for a nice custom rom! :cowboy: :D
