I have have all the files I think I need to attempt the re-brand of the firmware. Does anybody have a step by step guide just so I don't brick my device, more than willing to try renaming some files to and get rid of the sim lock as long as the people asking me to do so are confident it will not brick my shiny new toy.
 
here is the link for it - https://www.dropbox.com/s/owwrhc339ex5wfm/DC_template_development_v4.bin

Andy linked to this about 10 pages back, I believe he said it was from the yellow firmware (There all the same expect from the different product code)
Not sure what firmware version he get this from. I reckon the older one, no idea if this file is different in the later version.

Correct, though out of the box its on German, but during setup its very obvious how to change it back. Some German apps for the country that you can uninstall, and that's it.
 
I recommend a flash, but its up to you of course, I will be flashing mine when I get mine.

Well unless we can get Bibbleq's phone working with other sims, then I will cancel my order with Cyberport.
 
ok so rough steps were (not sure which ones actually matter & this was all done from a Win8 x64 pc):

Download & install Nokia Care suite (see earlier in thread)
Download DC_template_development_v4.bin (see earlier in this thread) and place in the "C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-821" directory (or wherever your care suite set itself up for)
Install "WinUSB Drivers<architecture>.msi" from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers" (assumes x64 PC)
Run Nokia Care suite then run Product Support Tools
Connect the phone and let it be detected
Boot the phone into testing mode
Open device manager & find all the unidentified devices (check by unplugging and re-conecting the phone) there were about 8 for me.
Right click on each one and update the driver manually, show all hardware and select "Nokia phone"
From Tools, Firmware Downloads search for "059R075" and download files
When downloaded open "RM821_059R075_1232.2110.1244.3_035.vpl" from the packages folder
Edit line 12 (<ProductCode>059R075</ProductCode>) with the code for the EE firmware (059R1W4) so the line reads: "<ProductCode>059R1W4</ProductCode>"

Turn the phone off and then on while holding the up arrow. You should get to the Nokia boot-loading screen (Nokia logo with a cog)

Then choose "programming, Recovery" from the product support tool
Choose the downloaded image & click Start.
If you get a warning about being unable to connect to the phone do what it says and unplug the phone & power it off (hold both volume buttons and power for 5 seconds) then plug it back in.

Keep your fingers crossed for 5 minutes...

Like I said, not figured out what bits were required or not yet. Might do some more playing about later on.

I checked the CRC of that file against the one in the firmware's vpl file & it matched so we're okay for now using that file

That's good to know :)

Hopefully Nokia will fix this file on their servers soon anyway.

I recommend a flash because it may add certain UK settings onto the phone, note i'm only guessing here

The firmware will be no different from the German. However, it will have some German specific applications and the default locations / language settings will be German. This has been confirmed by a chappy over on the WP Central forms who has received his 920 from ze fatherland.

Surly those are just out of the box one settings though?
So the applications can be uninstalled and language switched back?.
