Just a quick question. When you debranded your phone, did it unlock the sim to a different network?
My partners got the 820 locked on t mobile but wants it unlocked. I've done it with galaxy s2 by using a different firmware and also by using simunlock but so far not found a way of unlocking the 820 and as I have not played about with 1 before I'm researching possibilities to unlock it from t mobile even if it means flashing o2 firmware onto it

My phone was SIM unlocked but branded (had operator logo and apps but it could use any SIM card). I think that this method doesn't affect SIM lock, it will remain locked after flashing
Thanks for that. I wont tamper with it just yet then and keep researching

Sorry to bump this thread, but since the amber update has been leaked, I have been trying to debrand my AT&T 820. So far I have not had any luck. When I try to flash in NCS, it gives me an error (FFU not for this device) - I've tried about 10 different ROMs, both amber and other.
Has anyone had success with this yet?

I've been trying to debrand my AT&T Lumia 820 myself with no success. I wonder if it has been done before?
I've been trying to debrand my AT&T Lumia 820 with no success too. It's beacuse our product code. Our phone is RM-824 with 059M0F3 product code. We can't install FW with another product code. We need to change our phone's product code, but I don't know how! We need a solution for this.
flashing to old or new firmware will unlock the phone to other networks?
just bought a lumia 820 and its locked to EE Orange.
the CSR said i have to pay £20.42 and wait for 20days.
do you guys have other safe ways of unlocking this kind of phone?

Just download Sysapp Pusher from the market and install it from there.
Lol.
I am curious as to how you download "Data Sense" via SysApp Pusher, because DS is a Microsoft native EXE/DLL, is not XAP.
Unbrand vodafone italy 820
Hello all,
I have a unlocked 820 but branded with a vodofone italy rom, datasense is not given by vodafone so i want a "belgium" / "NL" version on it.
Now i have checked the list with available roms and downloaded all software to flash it but i dont seem to find a "unlocked not branded" version of the firmware.
Why not ? because the list is soo big and i dont understand all shorts and verbs next to it
I live in belgium - unlocked Lumia 820 - and i have Mobile Vikings as provider.

Great ty soo much i will let you know when its "installed",
Still i think its strange that providers may alter the default software, a loading screen oke or a app of its own but just removing default software should be not allouwed
