[Q] Windows 10 for Lumia 520 - Windows 10 Mobile

I have read that many Lumia users were able to install Windows 10 on unsupported phones but it doesn't seem to work for me in Lumia 520. I either get 'Server Error' or 'no builds'. What is it that I have done a mistake and how can I install Windows 10 on my 520?
P.S. I'm not an expert so I need step-by-step method.

if you not expert, maybe Win TP not for you?

look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10/general/howto-install-windows-10-phones-t3030105

You have to use a custom certificate to trick the app into thinking you're on a different phone that has official Windows 10 support.

This tutorial worked for me

Hi, here's a tutorial, which worked for me, but it is German. You'll probably understand it by watching the video. http://wparea.de/2015/02/windows-10...nterstuetzten-smartphones-installiert-werden/
This worked for my Lumia 520, you just need to use following values in the registry editor instead.
PhoneFirmwareRevision
02061.00074.14273.33019
PhoneManufacturerModelName
RM-975_1005
PhoneMobileOperatorName
ATT-US

thx

Hi i`ve just recently bought a Nokia Lumia 1020 from china..
And joined windows 10 insider fast ring, i`ve had no problems upadating this phone from windows 8.1 to the latest
offering from microsoft, but for the life of me i cannot downgrade back to win 8.1
I`ve read all the tutorials i`ve done numerous soft & hard resets tryed different usb cables tryed different ports unistalled and reinstalled
WRT..
Now here is the thing that i don`t get,
When i connect my phone to my PC running win 7 WRT recognises my phone and then proceeds to tell me that there isn't
anything available on the server..
So i have held the volume button down & power pressed in, and restarted WRT to find my phone which it does and then proceeds to download a new rom.
But the new rom is for a different phone.. this is the rom downloaded by WRT
RM877 3051 50009 1451 1 RETAIL nam att 205 01 473928 prd signed.ffu
My installed rom is RM-875-apac_hong_kong_223
first of all : why downgrade? have problem with w10?
Thanks for your response, there is a issue with the camera not working. I had no problems with this until i upgraded to win 10
This is the main reason for me buying this phone because of the camera,

yes of course 1020 has great camera
but im not sure every people with 1020 who upgrade to W10M have this problem...
what is your problem?
do u try Lumia camera beta?
For some reason that app is not showing on windows store for me
Try That
Lumia Camera Beta https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9wzdncrfjbm0
Intersting, my phone is just in the process of updating the windows store, i`ll check when it`s finnished to see if it shows
Thank you kwanice i`ll keep you informed..
Still does not answer the question why i`m struggling to down grade back to win8.1 though & why the server is downloading a different
file i.e mines 875 and yet the downloaded file is 877, or is it compatable, and why does my phone reject the install?
Well updated windows store, and searched again for lumia camera beta, and it`s not showing anything

Might just trade in this phone and get a android phone with a decent camera....

Windows 10 hacking help

Just upgraded to windows 10 on my 640. Now the version in the insider program is 10.0.10586.63. Looking the net. Found out the MS remove Astoria on the latest version. Does anyone know how to revert to the previous version of windows 10 where the Astoria was still there?
Another also is that, Most tutorial on the net about installing appxbunlde on windows 10 doesn't work especially for the paid apps. Is there a latest tutorial on how to do install one? I always have this error when using APPdeployCMD "

Install Windows 10 Mobile Redstone 14393.67 on 512 RAM devices

Note that the guideline is for devices which are running Windows 10 TH2.
I have successfully installed Windows 10 Redstone on my Lumia 520 with build 14393.67, so I post this topic for those who want to experience Windows Anniversary on a limited hardware device like me.
Firstly, you need to ensure your phone is "interop" and can be changed its registry. If yours can't, you can refer to the previous post "Interop Tools Appx for Windows 10 Mobile - registry editor" written by @dxdy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...interop-tools-appx-windows-10-mobile-t3373675
 @dxdy: Thank you for posting...
Secondly, change your phone information to "Lumia 950 XL" (After installing the interop tool included in the link above - version 1.7 is recommended)
Open the interop app, navigate to Registry Browser
HKEY_LOCAL_MICHINE/SYSTEM/Platform/DeviceTargetingInfo, then change:
PhoneManuafacturer: "NOKIA" --> "MicrosoftMDG"
PhoneHardwareViriant: ----> RM-1085
PhoneManuafacturerModelName: ---> RM-1085
PhoneModelName: ---> Lumia 950 XL
Important: If you are participating in Insider, you MUST STOP it. Otherwise, you won't receive any builds even Fast/Slow/Release Ring
Go to Update/Check update --> if you see the anniversary build, just waiting as usual. If not, install Upgrade Advisor from the Store, then check
Sometimes, you need to check by both ways (Settings/check update and Advisor) in turn to get updates.
That's all...
Good luck to you
For those who are using WP8.1, you can search "How to interop WP 8.1/ change registry" to upgrade to Windows 10 TH2 first, then apply my guideline, it's supposed to be working fine too.
Is it still possible to update WP8.1 to windows 10 TH2 using interop? Have anyone tried it?

Indeed, I understand what you are worried
Needless to say, because of limited hardware, so the device will got stuck sometimes if you open more apps or "heavy apps" like Facebook (>300MB), Messenger (>200MB). However, in genneral, I feel it is even better than TH2 545 actually - opening apps faster, smoother, lots of interesting changes we need to explore.
I am happy with this anniversary build
Hope you will be brave and experience such amzing things
thanhquanctu
OK thank you very much
I'll do tonight
Anniversary build go for you
anniversary I build for you

As far as I know, it's okay if your phone has 1GB of RAM. Otherwise, there is no way.
Hopefully, we can experience RS2 when it is officially released

Please help me to update Lumia 530 to Windows 10

Hi
I've updated a long time ago my Lumia 530 to Windows 10 with the registry hack.
After a long time since I've last used it, I I needed to reuse it, but I had to reset it with Windows tool, because it wasn't working well, due to the long time of shut down without battery. Obviously the tool gave me 8.1.
I wanted to do the hack again, because I luckily saved the website page, but, doing the same steps, the phone still doesn't find Windows 10 update. In addition, most of the tuts that you can find online are outdated, so they're useless (also because you cannot join insider program anymore).
I need Windows 10, also due to work issues.
Can you please help me? Any help is really appreciated! :highfive:
Thanks in advance & regards,
F

Hi
Thank you for your help but Lumia 530 doesn't have Windows 10, I did an hack to update it. When I used this tool, it said "no updates available".
I was searching for a working hack to permit the update in my phone, because the one I used doesn't work anymore.
Thanks:highfive:
The Lumia 530 is not compatible with Windows 10 because it only has a 4 GB memory board, and 8 GB is the minimum (with 1 GB of RAM). A hack exists, but requires external storage and a modification of device targeting info.
Moreover, it does not work well under CU or FCU. Stay on AU.

The modification of devicetargetinginfo was exactly what I was looking for. Can you please tell me one that works? I've tried with Lumia 9xx series but it doesn't work well. Can you please send me another one? Thank you :highfive:
PS Can you please send me not only the device name, friendly name, hardware variant? Because it seems like there's a conflict between one of the edited values and a stock value, TY
Hi,is there a way in 2020 to put W10 in a no eligible Lumia 530?I have tried the trick with "Windows insider" and "Preview for developers" one year ago but that didn't work (impossible enter in fast ring) and the Wphone 8.1 store shut down now .Do you think I can do it if I modify the registry with custom-pfd-003.xap to pretending my phone is a 535 instead of 530 and after I will apply the OTC UPDATE.I'm wondering if that will work .
Thank you
