This is all under your own risk.
Even if we help you i tell you till now i havent nor any of my friends havent bricked a phone.
To make sure, we are well aware of how this works.



You need Something called as a Qualcomm on 800 and 710

For a 710 device , any 710 can be unlocked, even if it has a DLOAD.
For an 800, only a device showing up as Qualcomm can be unlocked.
A DLOAD in 800 cannot be unlocked as yet.

To know what type of Loader you have follow this :

Open device manager in you PC (Just so you dont miss the driver installation, its better view able in Device manager)

Power off your phone , dont plug the USB as yet.

Hold VOLUME UP button and plug the USB in the PC.

Check device manager.

You will have a DLOAD or a Nokia cable connectivity or a Qualcomm technology.

In case of DLOAD and Nokia cable connectivity. Nothing else will be noticeable.

If you get a Qualcomm, u will get a box to format Disk, say NO!



SO now

Qualcomm = unlocked bootloader

DLOAD = Locked bootloader


* UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER = NO NCS = YES CUSTOM ROM
* LOCKED BOOTLOADER = YES NCS = NO CUSTOM ROM


For Lumia 710 users, u need to flash a Qualcomm bootloader (Unlocked bootloader) to enable Qualcomm , so u can Full Unlock your device.

If You have DLOAD, follow the full tuto.
IF you have a Qualcomm, goto step B.

[glow=red,2,300]Important : Flashing a CUSTOM ROM, to full unlock your phone will need a HARD RESET , in which you will loose all your data.
I would recommend you back up all your data, mostly just sync your pics and stuff of you PC and sync your contacts to your LIVE ID.[/glow]

thanks for this guide

I'm kinda noobish with WP flashing, I have a T-Mobile USA branded Lumia 710 and I've heard that the Nokia Network Setup app has been missing for months now, if I am unable to get it with the stock ROM will I be able to flash like an official Indian ROM with this guide? someone told me a version that has preloaded the Nokia Network Setup on it, I've heard also about Russian versions...

any feedback would be appreciated

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

this guide is for flashing a 710 with custom ROM

and the network app is missing...
u might need to download an older firmware for this.

but i would suggest u stick to updated, since there is a huge improvement in battry

great

Hi! Thanks for this simple to understand but amazing guide! I did it, but when finish the phone asks me for the PIN number. I entered the default carrier PIN of my SIM card and it says that it's incorrect PIN. Is this number it asks the activation code you mentioned a few posts ago?

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

The PIN should be your carrier PIN, the other part is the activation code for LIVE services
