Make sure you can get to the download mode and try flashing the file again. Make sure you flash the correct file and check the md5 sums after downloading.

Hi, great tutorial by the way! Thanks.

I'm currently having a problem, I've gotten my phone with Qualcomm through Chimera, but on NSSPro, instead of displaying "Nokia USB Connectivity", it shows "Care Suite USB Connectivity" and I can't manage to flash anything, or even get NSSPro to "Detect" the phone.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance!

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
When you have installed the Custom Rom:
1. Open WP7 Easy Backup Tool

2. Click Next, then click Restore

3. This can take a while

[youkanlee]

Help me please

In my step 3, my computer didn't show both Communication port and Qualcomm hs-usb diagnostics 9006 in the device manager, but only showed the latter. And I tried to going to, but in NSS, after clicking Write os, nothing happened, it said No device fond. And my computer had asked me to format disk, and I cancelled it. Now the problem is I can't continue to flash custom ROM or go back to flash official firmwares.

 

[genmaster]

please help

Hello there will still be good people to guide me with some situations of this great tutorial?

Try to do the tuto literally but given my predicament I made mistakes, during the change from Dload to Q, as with the Nss, so summarizing until someone can help me, my lumia is stuck in the image of nokia and it does not start, the pc recognizes me the Qualcomm but only when it is in button mode of volume + pressed and the Nss recognizes it as a disk drive in this same state, I do not know what the XD head is eating. someone who can guide me please

 

[jahfaby]

Since Chimera doesn't do trials anymore, is there any other way?
