HOWTO: Install Windows 10 for Phones on Non-supported devices (and other hacks)

This is only confirmed working for the AT&T Lumia 1520 and may work as is for other phones but also might require tweaks to the XML (see below). It is very possible to brick your phone with this. Your mileage may vary!
From a high level this works by using FiddlerCore to intercept the traffic going to the Microsoft WPflights server that controls the Insider app and responds with our own custom data. The app accepts registry editing information from the web responses and acts upon that. This allows us to write stuff to select locations in the registry. In the case of the Windows 10 Preview, it appears to only look for your phone's PhoneManufacturerModelName to decide if it should be offered previews. Windows Update also checks this value. Other devices like Samsungs or HTCs may need different settings. My phone did revert to it's factory values after Windows 10 was installed (I actually think it might have done it after Windows 8.1 was installed but it continued with 10 nonetheless).
1. For the Lumia 1520 (and other phones?) reset your phone using the Windows Phone recovery tool. I recommend not logging in and setting everything up yet and just waiting til the end and doing a reset and letting it restore after you’re on Windows 10. This may not be required for your device but most likely is due to the space issue cited by Microsoft. You can see your available space in the About menu of the Windows Insiders app. Before resetting mine was ~200mb and after it was ~600mb. You can try without resetting but may get an error after it tries to download and install the update.
2. Install the [url=http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=522524]Windows Insider app on your phone (you will need to have a store account configured)
3. Open the insiders app and go to the about options in the app bar and screenshot/make notes/email the settings to yourself. You may need this later.
4. Download and extract the WPInsidersHacks app (attached to this post) to your computer
5. Start the WPInsiderHacks app on pc, approve any firewall requests
6. Connect to the same WiFi that your PC is on. Edit the settings for the WiFi connection to turn on the Proxy and set it to use the PC’s IP address and enter 8877 for the port
7. Open Internet Explorer on your phone and navigate to http://[pc.ip.add.ress]:8877 where [pc.ip.add.ress] is the IP address of the PC running the WPInsidersHacks app
8. Tap on the link at the bottom to the fiddler root certificate
9. When prompted click open and then install to trust the cert and ok at the confirmation
10. Run the Windows Insider app and tap get preview builds
11. Tap on which custom action you’d like to perform. In my case I hit "Set to ATT Lumia 635" and click the arrow at the bottom
12. Accept the agreement and click the check mark at the bottom. the app will close
13. Now clear your proxy settings and run the insider app again
14. Tap get preview builds and login with your Microsoft account
15. Select the fast branch (if you’re reading this of course you want the fast branch) and click the arrow at the bottom
16. Go into the phone settings and check for updates. With any luck you should have Windows 10 there for you to install. On my AT&T 1520 it had to do 8.1 first but it kept going to 10 after 8.1 installed (had to check for updates again)
17. You’ll probably want to go into the settings and do another reset and then log into the phone and let it restore your previous data
The Windows Insider options are populated from the WPFlights.xml file. Feel free to edit/add stuff. I've experimented with writing to other keys but had mixed results. I wasn't able to write to the Software\Microsoft\Settings\{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F} for example (seemed to not like the curly braces?). It should have all the same permissons as the preview for developers app. You'll just need to run the WPInsiderHacks app on your PC and point your phone's proxy settings to it if you want to go back and set something again (such as enabling tethering).

I just used this to install the TP on my Lumia 930 and .. it worked like a charm! phone is booting, OS is working! Thank you very much for the work you put into this! Really excited to try out the Preview now..
Edit: I did change the target device ID from ATT though.
Confirmed working for the Lumia 930
Confirmed working for the Lumia 920

I will try tomorrow on Lumia 520 and post result.

Not working on my Lumia 535
tried it on a Lumia 535. After Setting no proxy again the Windows Insider app shows that there is no update available.
the about-setting Shows RM-975 correctly instead of RM-1089, but I think the FW Version needs to be changed too.
Does anyone know a fix? Tried it several times by now.

LogString: DefaultCertMaker: GetRootCertificate() did not find the root in t

Which carrier are you on? Sometimes you have to use device information for a phone on the same carrier as you're on for it to work.

I tried this with both a 520 and a 920. Everything works fine until I tap Get preview builds. I get the no builds message, but I know it's using the proxy because the WPInsiderHacks window gives this message:
** LogString: !SecureClientPipeDirect failed: System.IO.IOException Authenticati
on failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream. on pipe to (

Both devices get exactly the same result.
EDIT: I should clarify something: both the 920 and the 520 get this script. The 920 differs a bit on the device itself. Instead of going directly to the no builds page, an error pops up that says:
Server error
A connection error prevented us from downloading programs for you. Please check the date/time of your device and its network connection and try again.

Lumia 920
OK certificate installed
Windows insider no change ?

What would the registry entry for MOID be?
I have a non AT&T carrier, and I want to change that entry to be AT&T

Tried it on my Lumia 530 don't work i get we weren't able to find a preview build for you please confirm

Working fine on my 920 now.

I just installed. Working fine here on my Lumia 720.

For those asking, I've found you absolutely have to modify the WPFlights.xml PhoneManufacturerModelName to one that matches the carrier your device is from. In my case, I have a //Build/ (Rogers Canada) Lumia 920, and a Hong Kong unlocked 620 & 1520.
I managed to spoof the build check by using the following:
Unlocked/Hong Kong: RM-1027_1007
Rogers/Canada: RM-985_1004
http://twitter.com/stroughtonsmith/status/566460948291260417
Also, wiping the devices first /with the Windows Phone Recovery Tool/ (not Reset in Settings->About) for the most part isn't optional; only the 920 for me had enough space to install without doing that
Hope this helps

You just need to change the phonemanufacturermodel to whatever phone that supports windows 10 from your carrier/region.

The line in the screenshot is what you'd need to change; nothing too complicated, but finding a valid model for your phone's carrier is the hard part (took me a lot of Googling to find the two I needed), hence why I posted mine

Not working for me. I'm having Lumia 920 and the carrier rom is RM-821_apac_australia_new_zealand_218. Here's my file attached. Am i doing something wrong?

What exactly did you google ? because the i am with is Telstra in Australia they have a prepaid Nokia Lumia 635 so where would i get the PhoneManufacturerModelName ?

German, Unlocked 830: RM-984_1002
For googling help: some forums automatically include the model variant in signatures of members, I just started with RM-984_10XX for 830 and tried increasing numbers for XX in order to find one that was posted a lot on german forums. Good luck!

Yeah, you just placed RM-821_apac_australia_new_zealand_218 into the XML - that's your existing device. You need to use the correct form for a 63x/730/830 on same carrier, not your existing 920. That's the hard part to find.
My 1520 was "RM-937_apac_hong_kong_222", which I substituted for "RM-1027_1007" (a Hong Kong Lumia 636) - from what I could tell it doesn't need the "apac_hong_kong" part, but it needs the valid number at the end, and I don't know an easy way to find out what that should be (took me 50 mins of Googling to find that one).

[Lumia 925] Cannot upgrade using Windows insider

Dear,
A few months ago, I've upgraded my Lumia 925 to Windows 10 (preview) using Windows Insider: it went smoothly.
I decided to go back to WP8.1 using the Lumia Recovery Tool.
Today, I tried to update (again) to one of the Windows 10 previews, but I'm unable to upgrade: no updates found.
I know MS decided to exclude Lumia 925 to Windows 10 final: but: is there any possibility to upgrade to one of the developer previews?
When I download Windows Insider, I select fast ring: no updates are found (my account is enabled for developer previews).
Is this normal behaviour? I also tried to edit the registry to get Windows 10 redstone: unable to update: Update is downloading but when I try to install: unable to open update it says.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Pieter

Hey out there !
Upgrading to W10M works actually !!
Yesterday i upgraded my 925 from 8.1 Denim to W10M 10.0.14393.89
In Short:
All you need is the same 8.1 Firmware (.ffu)-File as is installed on your Phone.
Grab your FW on lumiafirmware Site
You need WP Internals 1.2 to unlock Bootloader and enable the Root access.
-YOU DIDN´T need Root-Tool and vcreg and all the other Stuff, ONLY WP Internals !!
Reboot Phone
After that, you must Boot your Phone via WP Internals into the Storage Mode
On PC open regedit and point to your Phone, called MainOS
In Regedit, you load the Registry of your Phone and do some Hacks and write the registry back to Phone
Reboot your Phone, go to MS Store and download Windows Insider App, start it and register for the Insider programm.
All done, you can use the fast ring, Slow ring and Preview .
If you wish, i can do a complete tutorial here !

Flash W10M on Lumia 920

Hi there,
I was having battery issues with my W10M install on my Lumia 920 so I decided to reflash it using the Windows Device Recovery Tool. Stupid thing installed WP8 and now I can't seem to get W10M back through insider previews.
Is it still possible to get W10M on my device? I am willing to do anything.
I am a bit of a noob, so a step-by-step guide would be appreciated
Device info:
App-version- 1.4.0.1
OS-version- 8.10.12393.890
Branch- WPMAIN
OEM - NOKIA
Model - RM-821_eu_netherlands_315

Why you can't get insider updates ? First check for updates and make sure you are on the latest OS version then sign in to insider app and upgrade . If you weren't able let me know. I will share a ROM I built for 920 .

I'm not sure why I can't get Insider updates, I can select the fast/slow/preview rings in the Windows Insider app, it reboots but then it doesn't show any system update.
Steps I've taken:
Use Windows Device Recovery Tool to flash WP8 to device
Initiate device with most checkboxes turned off, except auto-update OS.
See 31 apps that have to be updated, including Extras&Info. Ignore all of them.
Update the OS to the latest version, 8.10.14234.375
Install Windows Insider app
Enable Fast ring -> Reboot -> Check and see no updates.
I have never flashed a custom ROM on the device, so I am unsure what tools I should use for that, what files I need, etc.
If it makes a difference:
Manufacturer name: RM-821_eu_netherlands_315
Mobile Operator: 000-NL
Configuration ID: 474389
Build Creation Date: 9-2-2015 (I guess day-month-year)

You need WPInternals to flash a custom ROM.
Hm, maybe your date time settings is not ok isn't it ?
I had the same problem like you after upgrade to latest wp8.1 I did a hard reset and install insider again it solve my problem .
But OK I will upload my custom ROM to make it easier to you to upgrade.
if Lumia 1320, 1020, 820 and other x20 devices witch has unlocked bootloaders want to see such custom roms on their devices please let me know in PMs. They must have a Unlocked boot loader and the latest build of Windows 10 on their phone. (latest 10586, also Redstone builds are welcome too)

It seems they removed support for S4 devices. I also flashed my old Lumia 928 to WP 8.1 and it can't find updates from Windows Insider.

you need to opt in into the release-preview-ring! fast- and slowring dont support older devices (since 6 months...). to get redstone instead of th2 you need to spoof your device id

I know. It doesn't seem to be working on Realese Preview either.

ms activated a release-preview-ring for redstone a few days ago. i hope they havent shutdown the old releasepreviewring now...
but with a 920 it wouldnt be a problem either, get wpinternals and unlock the device with the engineering bootloader. boot it into mass storage mode, change device id and use the upgrade advisor to get th2 or the insider app to get redstone
might work as well if device is registred as wp 8.1 dev device and sideload vcreg to change device id at the device directly (dunno if that works that way on 8.1, havent used that for ages)

I'm from Iran and here internet connections are really slow and metered so it take a bit long to upload but I hope to make it ready up to tomorrow .
I include L950XL ringtones and also I pre-installed apps. you surely know if you upgrade with insider preview you have to update most of your apps to get them working, but this ROM doesn't need anything .

I think what tofuschnitte suggest ist to install 8.1 through WDRT, use wpinternals to unlock the bootloader, enable mass storage mode, use wpinternals to boot the phone in mass storage mode and use regedit on your computer to edit the registry.
You can open regedit, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and use [File]->[Load Hive...] to load [Phone]:\windows\system32\config\system. Next you'll be asked for a name for the Hive. Name it something obvious like "PHONE_SYSTEM". Next Navigate to HKLM\PHONE_SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo and change
// edit: Use values at your own discretion. The values suggested here will give you a phablet interface.
PhoneManufacturer to "Microsoft MDG"
PhoneModelName to "Lumia 1520"
PhoneManufacturerModelName to "RM-938_1000"
Unload the Hive by selecting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\PHONE_SYSTEM in the tree view and use [File]->[Unload Hive...]. Press and hold [Powerbutton] and [Volume down] to reboot your phone to normal mode.
Join the Fast Ring using Windows Insider tool and check for updates.

I didn't know I could do this! If I knew I'd have done this before I tried to flash a random Lumia950XL ROM. It gave a blue sad face ^^

its windows after all
i think it should be possible on 8.1 without sd too (as i said: if the device is regged as developer device <--- but have in mind: if its registred as dev device with the 8.1 sdk it will crash on 10 if you enable dev mode. took me ages to figure that out months ago). but the massstorage way is the easiest in your case

It did indeed work, though the setup isn't ideal yet. Currently having some remarkable screen size features I'm pretty sure it's rendering at a higher internal resolution and downscaling, so that would in theory mean slower performance and/or more battery use. I will wait on ngame's ROM :good:

its cause you used the 1520 settings, just changes the scaling -> settings - system - start -> there you can set the scaling with a slider. or just simply change the device id back, or (thats what i highly recommend) -> do a hardreset to have a clean os (should revert the device id changes too, but to be safe do it manually before doing the reset).
but have in mind: if you want to download keyboardfiles/speech detection stuff for cortana -> opt in into the insider programm again. for that task its enough, when you want to receive further updates you have to spoof the device id again (its enough to change it, search for updates, let it prepare and change it back)

but have in mind: if you want to download keyboardfiles/speech detection stuff for cortana -> opt in into the insider programm again. for that task its enough, when you want to receive further updates you have to spoof the device id again (its enough to change it, search for updates, let it prepare and change it back)

Yeah I know about the slider. I kind of like small elements on my screen though, feels roomier. I don't care about Cortana, it's not supported in The Netherlands and it slows down the phone considerably.
I did notice there's an issue with my microphone when calling, the ancient Lumia920 issue...

Thank you very much for your effort!
If I find more issues with my current install (it updated a new Insider Build yesterday, then I factory reset it), I will flash this ROM and try it out! :good:
I hope many other Lumia 920 owners will find this useful too!
It will be good to have a ROM that I can just flash when I need it, instead of recovering with WDRT again

yes WDRT is a real non-useful app (I don't know the opposite of useful )
it's only good for x50 owners who don't like to have insider builds

"Useless" is the opposite.

Looking for "Lumia Refocus" xap

Microsoft pulled this app from the store but maybe someone have xap for sideloading? AFAIK, there was no retail version of this app.
P.S. I know, by the rules, it's not a good forum to ask that kind of thing. But unfortunately looks like this is the only one "alive" WP forum at all

Thank you, sir!

I got problem installing this
Hi! Did you get the app working?
I recently upgraded my Lumia 1020 to 10.0.10586.1007 via the "Enterprise hack".. (Found a licence file)
I wanted to have Lumia Refocus, and found this post. However, I'm not able to deploy the file. (Have both Appdeploy 8.0 and 8.1 installed).
The Windows Application Deployment worked with deploying Root Tools (.xap) from xda-forums. I have used Root Tools to Jailbreak both "Interop + Capability unlock" and "Unlock Win10 Capabilities" ..
However, I can't get it to deploy the Lumia Refocus.xap ... Only returns error 0x81030120
Any idea how to fix?

@henxan, I did nothing special but phone must be interop & caps unlocked (by using Interop Tools). XAP was deployed via standard "Windows Phone Application Deployment 8.1" from SDK.

Offtopic: i still use VPV xap deployer.

@sensboston I updated my Lumia 1020 to 10.0.14393.1066 today, to see if that made any difference - it didn't
About the unlock - you said interop and cap unlock? I used Root tool, which I found here on xda, and chose to check the "Capability unlock" under "Interop + Capability Unlock" as well as checked "Unlock Windows Capabilities" under "Unlock Win10 Capabilities". Shouldn't this do it?
I am obviously able to deploy using "Windows phone application deployment (8.1)" since I used that tool to deploy "Root Tool.xap". Why won't it deploy the Lumia Refocus? Any ideas?

Yep, got that message both when I clicked to "Interop + Cap..." and for "Unlock Win10 ..."
Are there any ways I could verify if it was actually successfull @augustinionut? Btw, I still get the same error that I quoted above 0x81030120 ...

Try to install vcreg.

Oooops.. Just discovered I was supposed to choose templates to apply.. Working on it now - trouble getting my pc to recognize my mobile.
---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------
Hmm.. seems like my pc suddenly is not able to recognize my lumia device. If i use windows phone internals it only says Brand/Model: "Nokia Lumia" Operating model: "Normal (Windows phone)" .. No more info.. strange.. Can this be the reason - it does not recognize the phone - no product code, no operator, no firmware version ... I only once got wininternals to show me more device info. Really scared that my microusb-connection is damaged. .. Anyone met this problem before?

So I've tried installing SDK tools lite 8.0 & 8.1 and other recommended things to my second pc, to see if that helps. Well. The phone is recognized, it is unlocked for development. Everything seem to be correct - still I get the 0x81030120 error. I saw someone mention something about the "Info+Extras" could be related to this error? Anyone who can verify/dismiss this? Should I do a hard reboot and stop the phone from updating "Info+Extras" in the store?

Ok - final update from me .. I reset my phone and chose a restore point with earlier release such that I got Lumia Camera app. Then i hurried to stop automatic updates - notably the "Info + Extras" update. After getting the phone up-to-date, without updating "Info+Extras", I installed the "Root Tools.xap" I found here on xda (Developer mode on phone) using Windows Application Deployment. I jailbroke the phone and NOW "Lumia Refoucus" installed ... Works great..
BTW: I see that microsoft store have an update for "Lumia Refocus" - should I install, or do I risk fudging my Refous-app?

You can't update sideloaded app. Also AFAIK MS pulled app from the store for W10M handsets (it's visible but you can't install it at all).

Yes you can. Reinstall store variant 11606.

[CORRECTION] I was wrong, it's possible with the trick. Check for updates, store should start downloading a new version of "Lumia Refocus". Pause download, go to the apps and uninstall sideloaded app first, than go back to the store and resume download.

I instaled version 1.1.4.7. and i got this error:

Same for my 950 XL

Is about camera app version. With 2018.309.60.0 is working. But i can't get 60fps video.

For me 60fps works with 2018.426.90.0

Installing old Insider Builds in 2019?

Hey community!
I recently found my old Lumia 535 again. It runs Windows 10 Mobile 1511. I would like to ask 2 things:
1. Can I install old Insider Builds like 10166 or 10536 on my Lumia 535 again? I just want to use Project Astoria again that's why I am asking
2. Is it possible to get Windows Phone 8.1 GDR2 somehow back again? On WP8.1 the Lumia directly updates to 1511 instead of GDR2 first.
Thanks in advance

1 maybe
