[GUIDE] How to flash a dead Lumia 800 RM-801

Tried today to debrand my Vodafone italy Lumia 800... the flashing with Nokia Care Suite stops at 50% and the phone stuck in flash mode.

The last Nokia Care Suite (2011.51.2.63048) can't flash RM-801 in dead mode so i shat my pants.

Reading the care suite docs carefully i've found this:

Code:

Recovery Flashing enabled for RM-817

So after few tries i've found the right way:

Create a RM-817 dir under \Products folder, like this:



then copy RM-801 firmware files in RM-817 folder:



Now open the Care Suite and select the right model (RM-817):



Select Recovery:



Select the correct flash file, remember to use always the latest version, check on "Data package manager" for updated firmwares.



follow the instructions on screen:



When you are ready connect the phone holding the volume up button and let the care suite do his job:
