Can I install a RM-938 firmware on my RM-940 device?

[lrhage]

Hi! My Lumia 1025 is AT&T RM-940, it is unlocked and I'm using a non-AT&T nano-sim, but I want to install the Country Varian firmware (RM-938).

Is this possible with no issues?

Hi,

You have an NL1520, not 1025
Try with this 059V6W7 RM-938 VAR LTA 7R CV BLACK with this tutorial.
There should not be any problem if you succeed the flash.
It is possible that you get an error FFU at the time of the flash (it's nothing "dangerous"): If this is the case, let me know it.

Thanks! I'm afraid of cellular signal issues, what I want is 3G (and even Edge) signal and debrand the phone.

I guess I need a new version of Nokia Care Suite. What is the latest version?

EDIT: I have a "bootmgr" driver issues.

EDIT: NOKIA BOOTMGR2 and I can't install drivers...

ROM IN CV is RM-937, you have RM-940.
There is too much difference between RM-940 and RM-937:
- Three band of quadband 3G (HSPA+) are compatible
- Only one band of pentaband 4G (LTE) is compatible

I have Lumia Icon 929
And I want to use it in Ukraine.
But with CDMA carried internet doesn't work
With GSM carrier tethering does not enable
What can I do? Can I flash firmware from Lumia 930?

No, you can't flash FW of NL930 on Icon.

I don't know what you mean by bad IMEI but this normally happens when a phone is stolen , then they blacklist the IMEI , and there is not a real fix for it.
get in contact with the Person/shop where you got the phone and let them fix that for you.

and BTW , by flashing a phone the IMEI will not change, IMEI is like the hardware ID of the phone (on of a kind number)

True, but!
IMEI can be blacklisted for various reasons:
- Reported as stolen (usually results in a global IMEI ban)
- Phone is bought as part of a subscription and the original subscriber does not pay the monthly fees for the phone (IMEI is banned first in the country, then the countries the network provider resides in or has connection with. E.g. AT&T has connections in most European countries, but for example in Romania even blocked IMEIs will work)
- IMEI is flagged for suspicious behaviour - if your device was or is in any suspicious activity (drug deals, child porn, etc.), it can get flagged by the police. Then it can get blocked afterwards.
