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

You know, today, WP 7.8 is officially released via Zune.
I've been using Lumia 900 with previously leaked 7.8 version.
Anyway, today, plugged my lumia into PC, checked the update.
But, it shows the message "It is the latest version 7.10 (8858)".
So, I couldn't enjoy official firmware.
What can I do for this? Is it possible to downgrade to WP 7.5? If then, I'm gonna downgrade to official 7.5 via Nokia care suit to get official 7.8 via zune.
Finally, if previously leaked 7.8 and official 7.8 are absolutely same, I would keep current state.
Please somebody guides me.
try this way and say thanks
youtube.com/watch?v=k1e3xAZCzZY sorry i can't paste direct link yet if you have problems or wonna ask somting my skype is vasko_ed
Are you talking about using the nokia care suite leak and you flashed it to 7.8? If so that is the update that is finally being pushed out today.

yes,but i found it before 2 days ago. now i have wp7.8 os ver.7.10.8858.136 radio soft ver 2.1.75.29 my lumia is rm-838
One thing I noticed is that the one you flash from Nokia Care Suite has way more ringtones I believe. I was using a certain ringtone, and today I just updated through Zune (downgraded by flashing back to Tango), and I cannot find the ringtone I was using before. The ringtone I was using was something like Moanday and the one pushed today doesn't seem to have that.
I got problem with nokia care suite!

How far did you get? Make sure to follow the video step by step that SuperSport posted here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1e3xAZCzZY&feature=player_embedded
From what I know, the difference between NCS WP 7.8 and Zune WP 7.8 (in case of my Lumia 900 RM-823) is firmware only. When you flash your Lumia with NCS, you get firmware 2175.2905.8858.12480, but when you use Zune update (from 8779 in my case), you end up with 2175.2905.8853.12440. The OS version in both cases is the same: 7.10.8858.136.
Cheers!
Hi
First of all sorry for my bad english, im from germany ^^
I bought a microsoft lumia 950 and i like it very much, but actually im use an Galaxy s6 with my normal android apps.
And i really need these apps on my lumia too. I've read a lot about project astoria, the wconnect.exe tool and xap apps, but astoria is dead and the wconnect.exe tool doesn't work for me (allways getting error-8).
And now my question, is there another possibility to install/sideload android apps or any other apps ?
Device: Microsoft Lumia 950
Software: Win Mobil 10
Version: 1511
Build: 10.0.10586.11
Firmware : 01078.00027.15506.02027
i search for apps like : Youtube , Playstation network, Playstation messages, real instagram etc.
i would be very grateful for your help !
HI,
There is still no way to install apk on Windows 10.
We have to wait to see if it is coming back or not.

It is called sideloading apps. So yes - you can sideload apps - just like you can sideload apk files on android.
i have an lumia 925 that i dont use anymore...and handed it over to my kid..but now he wants an android instead...(app gap!!) before i tried to install the testbulids of win 10 that was available to the phone...but it was to may things that did'nt not work. I wish that it was possible to install android on it
is there any "sharp" windows 10 bulid or anything to install on it nowdays that work all day?
You can use it as a photo camera, should be pretty good for that. But stay away from Windows 10, it's full of bugs and it will force you to use the new crappy Camera app.
Otherwise, sell it and buy an Android phone for your kid.
Hello. I am in the same boat as yours - a Lumia 630 user. I am using the latest 10586 build and it is as good as WP8.1. Just make sure you select Release Preview in windows insiders. Also do a hard reset after getting onto W10 to ensure all bugs and left over files are deleted.
wohoooo??? finally perhaps a new rom?
ohhh..i heard today that some "keys" leaked from microsoft that unlocks the bootloader...it says that now you could install any operationsystem on windows devices?? then perhaps we could install android in our 925's? or perhaps have a dualboot anything about this?

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?

Yes... it is... I tried it when I downgraded my phone to 8.1, it's a bit more difficult than Windows 10 mobile, but you can

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

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
