maybe try this method again and install another custom rom like rainbowmod, your lumia has been bricked since you have installed a wrong rom, i think the rataplan v6.0 is for lumia 710 only...

Screenshots..

I see everywhere that stuff like screenshots is possible with this RainbowMod... but i dont find anything quite like it on the phone ( i have succesfully flashed it )
also it would be nice to know if there is a detailed list of things that this ROM includes, if possible even with some details like how they work, specially stuff like Screenshots and similar stuff.

Nokia Lumia 800 - First Complete Tutorial for Installing Custom ROM on Lumia 800 with DLOAD or Qualcomm
Windows 7/8

Thanks to Lordmaxey, MarcHoover and Dengel!
Also big thanks to the Chimeratool developers

Authors are not responsible for any damage to your device!
Everything you do is on your own risk!

Following this tutorial is your own risk. During the process, your phone will lose all data (game data, apps, photos, music etc.). Make sure to a thorough backup before you start (for example using Zune for music and videos).

Remember to download my folder (NokiaLumia800) from: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1zoh2kzv6kzki53/NokiaLumia800.zip, and extract it!
See bottom for FAQ. Will try to update frequently if there happens to be some common errors!

Backup Lumia

Backup Contacts:
1. Add a windows live id (Settings/Email/AddAnAccount/WindowsLive)
Backup Game Achievements:
1. Open Xbox-Live. Settings/Sync all items
Backup of all data (apps, messages) except Zune content (music, video):
1. Install .NET 3.5, Zune 4.8.2345.0 and Windows Phone Support Tools

a. You will find Windows Phone Support Tools in the folder (64bit and 32 bit)​

2. Extract Wp7EasyBackup, and run application
3. Click on backup, and backup… (Don’t worry if your Nokia gets an image of a charging cable between pc and mobile)

4. When finished your Nokia will turn on and you get an error massage (don’t worry)

Your Backup will be stored here: %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\
Make sure to save it, if you want your old stuff on the phone


Warning. The Backup Process could lead to a failure on custom Roms! (Zune updates need to be supported by your custom rom)
RainbowMod 2.2 for Lumia 800 is not supported

7. Then it is just to sync your music and videos

Did I brick it?

Hi guys,

Hopefully you won't find it too rude of me if I post a question without having introduced myself to the forum yet.

I'm really glad that someone took the time to put together this thorough tutorial for people like me, but I did have a problem at the very end:
After having flashed the phone I am left with it being stuck in a boot loop where it would vibrate ON and get stuck to a "NOKIA" screen, I would then try a restart (and subsequently all kinds of resets) just to have the phone vibrate OFF, then vibrate ON to the "NOKIA" screen again, it won't even stay off xD.

Now, I have tried flashing it repeatedly with "rainbow mod" and "funky rom" just to make sure and in both cases it still give the same problem so, I am wondering:

Did I brick it or may be that the only way to apply the changes is to disassemble it and unplug/replug the battery?

any help would be appreciated, thanks

EDIT01
So, the mobile eventually run out of juice as it doesn't seem to be charging properly, still, I plugged it in a wall socket and it came back to its usual booty nookiay stucky thingy. Guess that could be thought as unplug/replug the battery and I take it that it didn't work... I really have no idea why this is not working for me... Very frustrating since I need it to be unlocked in order to use it and finally drop in a dumpster the actual brick I'm currently using as a mobile.

EDIT02
Decided to flash the phone back to factory with the nokia tool, problem is, the battery is not charging at all so the phone won't turn on anymore. Not much hope left for my phone now.

EDIT03
Managed to make the phone go into "writing mode" (Power+VolUP) with some sleights of hand, but now windows is not recognising it anymore and sees it as unknown device. S**t just keeps piling up like a T-Rex taking a dump.

I am in my lumia 800 put rataplan v6, it happened to me fon dead. does not react at all. In the beginning was the vibration, but now nothing. what to do please help. :crying:

Hopefully I'll let you know

Dude, I haven't had time to carry on testing my phone, all I can tell you is that I think our batteries are dead but we still can flash our phones back to factory default if we manage to charge them. What I mean to do is to get a proper screwdriver (hard to find where I am atm) disassemble the phone and have a look at the battery's voltage and amp, then get a power supply matching the specs of the battery and just charge it back using a couple of cables.

IF that works then I'll try to flash to default and after that I'll try to find a way to flash it which actually works.

If I'll succeed I'll report it here but it will take me a month or two (too much stuff going on atm).

Meanwhile I wish you good luck.

I am from Serbia I use google translator so I'm not really all clear in your post. do you charge the battery outside of the unit and then not flash? What is the ATM?

help to get nokia usb connectivity

Hey guys - i hope somebody can help me asap because i´m waiting for this for 2 days now.

(got problems with chimera etc.)

Now i´m at step 4 where i have to choose my nokia usb connectivity - but theres the problem. It doesnt show me this possibility - just flashdrive. So what did i wrong or what i have to do guys?

There werent any problems - except of a popup after qualcomm driver installation (i turned of the signature) but however it said its finish.

When i turned off my nokia and turned it on again in the vibrating mode - device manager says "qualcomm...." like in the picture. Next step is (after install drivers - which worked ) was to connect nokia in normal mode (right?) and open NSSPRO as admin (i did it) - but nothin happend - just the flashdrive appears in the whitebox ...

plleeeassse help me i waited for so long to do this :crying::crying:

 

[noki_6630]

Thanks Heaps

I have been done the the ROM installation producers !

there is nothing wrong with this ROM, well done mate !
But there is a issues there, there is no " warning tone " when I plug the phone on charge !
Is there any hints or clues to have this warning tone back ?

 

[Swappage]

Hello,
i have a little question about the procedure of replacing the bootloader.

Let's say a thing first: i'm not interested in flashing the phone.
what i want to do is to be able to use dd (linux) to read the partitions for data recovery purposes.

so i was wondering: can i use chimera to unlock the bootloader (remove DLOAD and install qualcomm unlocked bootloader) to accomplish this?

and also: this is the most important thing, does replacing the bootloader using chimera erase my user data? or the user data/partitions are destroyed only when actually flashing the custom rom?
