Frequently Asked Questions
What is LumiaDB?
Lumia Database - pretty much a site to download firmware for your Lumia devices. The main goal is to build a community-driven archive of Lumia FFUs, ensuring they remain accessible to users and Lumia lovers around the world.
The FFU takes way too long to download!
We rely on the Internet Archive for downloads. Using a US VPN would help. Cloudflare WARP is a free good one.
No Windows Phone 7 (Lumia 800, Lumia 900...) firmwares?

Why Internet Archive? Why don't you host the files yourself?
At the moment, I don’t have the financial ability to pay for servers. I built this project to help people and keep it accessible by relying on resources like the Internet Archive, which I also support with donations whenever possible.
Why can't I find X file?
If you can’t find a specific firmware, you can contact us, and we’ll try to add it if available.
How do I flash these firmwares?
There are many ways to do this, but I personally would use WPInternals. You could look up tutorials on how to use thor2 if WPI doesn't work.
What is Contribute (OSL)?
Operation Save Lumia (OSL) is a community-driven effort to archive Lumia FFUs. It basically allows anyone to contribute files to the archive.
