To check:

  • Turn off your phone
  • Hold down Volume Up and Power
  • Connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable, you will hear a short vibration
  • Keep holding those buttons

Check your computer and see what device is detected. You can find this in Devices and Printers on Windows, in the Device Manager, or just check what device it is trying to install drivers for. If you're on Linux, run lsusb.

On Windows:

if you see NOKIA DLOAD, you have a locked bootloader.

but if you see Qualcomm MMC Storage USB Device you have an unlocked bootloader!

On Linux, using lsusb:

if you get Qualcomm, Inc your bootloader is unlocked.

Doesn't seem to be any posts on here, am i the only person with a Lumia 800???

Anyway, just after i had had my phone for a couple of weeks, Orange sent me a phone update, which now appears to be a down grade! the functionality of Blue tooth connection has gone really bad, as i remember when i 1st paired anything the phone asked what the pairing was, eg. headset, car kit or the like, this is now not there? which i only figured out when the coonection to my hands free in my van keeps "dropping in & out" most annoying!! Also it appears Orange have also removed the phones usefullness to be a WIFI hotspot and modem?? the internet sharing option has been removed from the settings menu???

Does anybody have any words of wisdom, or advice on how i can fix these issues??

THX in anticipation.
