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 a Lumia 620 with Lumia Cyan + the latest developer preview update and I recently factory reset it. Today I tried developer unlocking it, and it came up with the "IpOverUsbSvc" error. I restarted my computer and got the same error, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and restarted, still same error. I uninstalled the lite 8.1 SDK (I'm on Windows 7), reinstalled it then rebooted, and still got the same error. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
edit: I searched already if you're just planning on saying that.
I seem to have the same issue on two other devices. Apparently you need files from the 8.1 Emulator Update 1 ISO. I have the Visual Studio 2013 with both Update 3 and the emulator update installed, but I too have the same error. Try running the 8.1 Power Tools update on your phone and see if it will actually give you an error code.

Thanks, probably had something to do with it being on update 1, but I managed to get it unlocked with that weird Chinese app mentioned in another thread.
Yes, I installed/forced Windows 10 TP on my phone, everything worked fine ... the problem is when I tried restore to Lumia Denim with the application Windows Phone Recovery Tool, start the red screen, but instantly failed and turn off ... no response, no vibrates... connecting the pc jumps '' QHSUSB_DLOAD '' with the correct driver. But other program NOT detected. What I can do?

There is "TWO" ways to recover your Device.
1. Windows Phone Recovery Tool for Windows 10 recovery to revert your particular OS Update.
-without losing your any data.
-required to download 600/700 MB Update files.
2. Lumia Software Recovery Tool for recover the "WHOLE" OS to the STOCK ROM.
- all data will be lost
-required 1.5 GB .FFU Image file.
Windows Phone Recovery Tool in ''waiting for connect''...
Lumia Software Recovery Tool tried but ''the phone is not compatible with Lumia Software Recovery Tool''...
@djamol
There are also Nokia Care Suite, between others

Yes, Of course !
I just told about the Recovery Tool.
@johntheredimid
My Lumia 520 RM-914 India Supports both Tools and it should be support for your device too.
Looks like your device is bricked or anything else, i don't know.
need to catch the service center for any memory damage.
Edit: Collect and READ the log files for any help.

I'm coming just seeing, WPRT well download ROM (hardware product code) whole, in my case (NL620) 1.52 GB. This software is exactly the same as LSRT for example, he flash the entire ROM.
no work for me. Tengo win7 x64, in win8 work?
Bricked my lumia 520
I am facing the same issue with my lumia 520 as well..
went down to the nokia care... they charged me to even check what went wrong... and they quoted that it's a Hardware crash and they need to send it to their head office and it might cost around Rs 3550/- in india.
However I personally researched more and found out that boot needs to be recovered using JAF ATF box. or needs external hardware to FFU flash the device. #pissedoff

sorry bro, surely if I take mine to the warranty, I will say the same thing to you. Better to throw it away and buy another lumia.
how to unbrick ur lumia 520
hello friends ,
even i bricked my phone i.e lumia 520 during updating it to windows 10 preview . what should u do is take another lumia 520 (which is in normal condition) and connect it to the windows phone recovery tool 2.1.0 and let it detect and after downloading the package remove the lumia 520 {which is in normal condition} and connect the bricked 520 and then click install , the package will get installed , this worked for me so good , hope it works with you all guys , thank you and all the best
Hello everyone,
I am interested, is there any way to install Windows 10 Mobile on Lumia 925? Maybe some hack or editing the registry will help? Please help me ))))
Thanks!!!

Install the Windows Insider app and select the release preview ring.
No need to mess with the registry.

It has installed 10586.107 why?
EDIT: It now started downloading .164
One more question: What about Redstone builds? How can I install them?
Thanks again!
For Redstone builds you need to fake an entry in the registry.
To be exactly in HKLM-->SYSTEM-->Platform-->DeviceTargetingInfo change the entry in PhoneManufacturer from NOKIA to MicrosoftMDG
But beware, major bugs can occur since your device is not supported officially.

I have a HTC One M8 Windows running 10586.164; that said if you're attempting to run the very latest builds which as of this typing is 14295. Microsoft releases a list of supported devices and the Lumia 925 and the M8W are not on the list and trust me, I'm not happy about their decision and I blame HTC too; a two year promise that has been deliberately broken and for HTC users this is twice and I don't care what some post about their decision being faired; I'm sick of the general device manufacturers thumbing their noses up at us and if the Tech Previews work on our device then why can't the gold release be made to work on ours too.

You are absolutely right!
I have installed Redstone build with registry hack. It works very good on my Lumia 925 it's faster than build 10586.164. If you are interested in that check out this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsphone/comments/4bmmiy/tutorial_for_installing_redstone_builds_on/
Dont work on 520
Hi!
I can't install redstone on my Lumia 520,because i can't install vcREG and CustomPFD.
I've set my phone to developer mode in the developer options settintgs page,and after that i tried to deploy vcREG and CustomPFD to my phone with application deployment tool from windows phone sdk 8.1.When i try to deploy vcREG,the app deploy says the app manifest could not be loaded or not valid,and when i tryed to deploy CustomPFD it throws this error code: 0x81030120.what can i do?i have 10586.164 build of w10m,and i've tried any other methods (for example root tool's interop unlock),but nothing worked for me :/

Hi,
First of all before you will attempt to install Redstone on your device I want to say to you that Redstone on my Lumia 925 was not stable enough. Yes, it was faster than 10586.164 build but it had some bugs listed below:
1) When SIM card is inserted you can't get any notifications and when you try to download app from the store, store freezes. If you will remove SIM card from your phone you will get notifications and store will work properly.
2) If you will reset your phone you will stuck on Welcome Back screen. (If you want to avoid that you need to remove SIM card from your phone)
2) Phone has also charging bugs.
3) Phone restarts very often.
4) Sometimes phone can't find any Wi-Fi. (Restart helps)
So this are the bugs that I noticed when using latest Redstone build on my Lumia 925. If you want to install it anyways I have some suggestions.
1) Restore your phone to Windows Phone 8.1 and ensure that extras+info will not get any update.
2) Install only Windows Insider app and choose Release Preview.
3) When you will install build 10586.164 make reset and again don't update extras+info. (Turn off auto update in store)
4) Choose Developer mode and deploy vcREG. Before you deploy CustomPFD go to templates in vcREG app and click on first and fourth checkboxes and hit apply(or something like that) then deploy CustomPFD.
If you will update extras+info you will not be able to deploy this apps. If you will deploy CustomPFD without using vcREG you will get error: 0x81030120
If you have further questions I am here. ))))
Does anyone know if in the future 520 will be able to update to 14295 without registry hacks? 10586 is unusable for me since it has the bug that prevents installation of extra language packs/keyboards
I was JUST about to flash it and read this. Thanks for the info. Wondering if future builds will be more stable.
Also, say if I flash this, can I revert back to either 8.1 or 10 Preview?

Yes you can revert to WP8.1 and then install W10M preview.
Also not every user had this bugs... Maybe if you will update to W10M you will not get this bugs... But it's risky...

Then I am not willing to take the plunge. I was planning to flash a FULLY working ROM as I was going to give my 925 to my Mom.
But if that is the case, then I might just wait for a fully functional, stable ROM.
What say/?
Update
Hi!
Thanks for help I've installed Redstone,but it produced a lot of bugs...wifi adapter not working good,mobile data completely not worked,lock screen service seemed to stop after some time...i've used wdrt,and now i want to install w10m 10586 to my phone,but it's not working.i've set the insider app to fast ring,and restarted the phone,but it says it has no new updates.what can i do?i really want to install w10m 10586 :/
edit:i set the insider app to release ring,rebooted the phone,and after some time it started to download an update,it might be w10m

Yes it's W10M build 10586.107. When it will be installed check for updates again and it should download build 10586.164. This build is very stable and useful for everyday usage. ...And also I don't understand why they removed Redstone builds from older Lumias with 1GB of RAM, it was very fast on my 925(Except of Bugs)... Lets see what we will get in future...

Unfortunately, that's not true. With 10586 you can't download language packs/keyboards (at least not the ones that include the swype functionality). Anyways, you didn't answer my question - can I expect to be able to install 14295 without registry hacks on 520/521?
