I am creating this thread out of frustration in not being able to perform what seems like a simple OTA update to Windows 8.1 on my Lumia 810. I have used Android all throughout and am an expert when it comes to rooting and installing customs roms so I am thoroughly aware of things I need to do before I get 8.1. I have been able to get 8.1 succesfully on the 928 and the 521 so I have Preview for Developers installed on my phone. I have used the Nokia Recovery Tool to reinstall the OS and even managed to get through to the two updates prior to installing 8.1 where it gives me the message how I'll love 8.1.
This is where I am stuck. I get messages from "unable to download" or "Downloaded but cannot install" dumba$$ MS messages. I have tried 6 different wifis, turned the clock back, forward, region changes, lnguage pack changes, blah and blah. Nothing effin works!
Finally, I am concluding this is a space allocation issue. When I go into storage check, it shows more than 4 GB available but how do I give more space to system? I tried file manager/explorer but nothing works. I am 100% positive that the moment I give more space in the system folder I should be golden. I have tried removing apps, etc. but I don't think this affects system storage space. I have been trying this for the past 10 days but not going anywhere.
Thanks!

Seriously Lumia 810? 928 and 521 are windows 8. 810 is Windows 7, 7.5 up to 7.8 only. So there is no other way to upgrade it to 8.1. You are a good one when it comes to rooting your phone. But you aint good on doing a google search:laugh:
jaythang, Lumia 810 is a WP8 device! It's a 820 variant -_-

Lol. I know the 810 does not have an upgrade path but the phone can get 8.1 as per my Google search and some 810 users on this forum .
Lumia 810 is a windows phone 8 device.
To get 8.1, you need to be a registered developer, as the official version is still not yet available to the general public.

Don't know what part of the world you're from and I'm giving you the benefit of doubt but in the good old US of A, I get this for a quick Google search.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2142575/why-wait-how-to-install-windows-phone-8-1-right-now.html
http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-phone-81-preview-for-developers-now-available
Both these links mention that while the 810 may not get an official upgrade path, it will be through Preview for developers. Also, there are many users on this forum who claim they have 8.1 running on their 810s. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
But, how many device have you upgraded with your Dev Account? You can associate max 3 devices to a dev account

Hi there, I've been an Android user for a couple of years now and I love tweking, modding, flashing and bricking (well, maybe not bricking, no ) my devices. Last week I also bought a Lumia 720, and I would really like to update to WP 8.1. I found out how to do it, doesn't look difficult.
Anyway, I couldn't find enough information about downgrading: will I be able to do it in case I need to?
Should I use Nokia Care Suit to download my current 8.0 firmware and then flash it back whenever I want to?
And what about warranty? Is it lost when I update to WP 8.1? Is it restored if I downgrade?
Sorry to bother you all, but I'm a real noob about Windows Phone...
You can downgrade with NCS, yes. Downgrade is not officially supported but there's no reason it shouldn't work and several people have reported trouble-free succes already.

I downgraded a 1020 with no issue, my 928 got bricked.... NCS crashed and now the 928 can't turn on. Just be careful is the bottom line.
I downgraded my 521 with ncs after my power button stopped working in 8.1. My power button still didn't work in 8.0 so I went back to 8.1 again. ? at least I can use double tap to wake my phone up or use the camera button.

Just a quick question. I've been looking around the internet for this. I just recently recieved a Huawei Acend W1 from Wind Mobile (canada) and the phone is a U-34, and not the usual u00.
The latest I can normally update my phone is 8.0.10211.204, and I was wondering whether there was anyway to update this to it's latest and third update. Is this just a problem for Canada and huawei not supporting the updates? My only problem is that I'm not sure if I'll EVER get the update here, as tbh I don't mind waiting.
Thanks for all and any help,
Edit: I just found this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51656759&postcount=28 and I'm thinking of trying it. Does anyone know if anyone has tried it?

you can try upgrade via Preview for Developers (preview for developers now upgrade to 8.1)
go to http://apps.windowsstore.com/default.htm and sign in with your Live (Microsoft) account which you use on phone. check mailbox on phone and install cert from mail you received from AppStudio
go to Store and install http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=178ac8a1-6519-4a0b-960c-038393741e96. Run after install and activate it.... go to settings - check for update
The problem with that is that my phone is currently at the First update, so even though I have the developer preview downloaded, I can't open it as I need my phone to be at the latest OS.
All I am trying to do or want to do at this point is get my phone from G1 to G2.
I tried both of the guides above, and one gave me a handshake error, and the other a cookie error. Does anyone have any advice, maybe something I'm missing, that might help?
Thanks,
Using that same guide you used (http://forums.wpcentral.com/huawei-ascend-w1/229445-those-who-get-their-w1-market-locked-china.html), try flashing this rom: http://www.mediafire.com/download/l...030.5614.46900.20900_USA-Channel.05011TTC.zip. Supposedly it's a GDR2 ROM but I'm unable to test it because I don't have a u34 version of the phone. One thing to note is when following the guide, run all the qpst applications in administrator mode. You need to be running Windows Vista or above. Also, running it on a virtual machine will not work.
Thanks for the reply, I'll try this when I get home tonight. I've heard that a 32 bit windows 7 is the best OS to try it on. I have a W8 64 bit, do you know if that really makes a difference?

For me it does not work on windows 8.1 64bit, on the other hand it works perfect on windows 7 32 bit. But Microsoft has pulled out the latest update on the W1. They are working on it but so far I am still waiting for the update on the W1. You can follow the status of the updates on the following link : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...d-b6a2-fa6df0ba7c58?page=118&tm=1399777042881
There was a chinese forum that used a trick to get update by tricking the w1 by changing it in registry to a nokia device but I can't find the link anymore.
Tbh I'm perfectly fine waiting a couple weeks, but to get to that point I need to get to GSR2, as I'm still stuck with 1 atm. Didn't get a chance to try it last night, but I should be able to find a w7 32 bit pc to test it on.
Thanks for the reply and link to that thread.
I have successfully updated a Nokia 521 and 925 to WP 8.1 but the 810 is a frikkin pain in the rear. It gives me all BS reasons and I have used Nokia Software recovery tool to restore the phone and try everything again like 5 times already. Once I was able to get it to the point where it said you'll now be able to enjoy 8.1 but from that point onward, it's been nothing.
I am trying to move from Android to Windows and this is not fun. Why can't you sideload 8.1 like I can do with custom roms through recovery on Android?
My Dad has a 620, how do you even get 8.1, because when I try OTA it says it's up to date?

Preview devs (available now) or official (waiting).
Hey guys, the Lumia 530 was supposed to be working with the W10 preview, but people, and I, have been having issues with it. We can't install due to lack of free space, and when it downloads the update files to sd, it gives an error and does not update.
What should I do to be able to get to Win10 with my Lumia 530 Dual Sim?
Att,
Pedro Loures.

I want to use the test version to try developing on it, but even in factory or using the Phone Recovery Tool, there is never enough space. It has 4GB of internal space while it says you should need 8, though it's on the supported list for tests - I cant post link yet, so.
There is a way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61602099&postcount=13 This will take you to 10166, and then you can easily update to 10512 without storage problems.
I recently got the Samsung Ativ S neo off ebay and am using it on Ringplus. Nice little phone, its my first windows phone. Its not my dailey runner though as I have a nexus 6.
Right now my device is on windows 8, I want to upgrade it to windows 10 (or at the very least windows 8.1). I tried to do a OTA update and it claims I have the newest version which I believe is false.
I believe I have to manually upgrade my device to the newer version of windows phone.
Can someone tell me or link me to a tutorial on how to upgrade my device to windows 10(or 8.1 if 10 isn't available)?

You cannot upgrade to windows 10. However win 8.1 is possible.
step 1: Register at http://appstudio.windows.com/
Step 2: Download app "Preview for developers". Search in store, else google it. Register, and you are set to receive 8.1
Why is win10 out of the question?
I take it not good enough specs?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using DroidBook
More that it is not supported yet in the insider channel. Phones from Microsoft with similar Hardware are getting the update. So hopefully someday.. Even quicker if someone can get a Workaround.
I got it on win8.1 it had like 50 updates lol. would be nice to see win10 on it though

No, it just isn't directly supported. The specs are more than enough.
I actually DID install Win10 on my Neo, but it just boot-looped. The reason it boot-loops is that in order to install W10, you first need to install a "pre-W10" version of WP8.1 that prepares the phone for the W10 upgrade. Since the Neo is not supported, the pre-W10 8.1 that gets installed is intended for different hardware and won't run.
This is not a problem for the ATIV SE, since it shares hardware with the Icon/930.
if you to get W10 update first of all you need to interop unlock your phone
then install custompfd 0.5.0.0 and edit Manufacture name from SAMSUNG to NOKIA from this path :
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
then get Windows Insider app from store , sign up , select insider fast and blabla and finally you have w10 after checking for updates .
