How to uninstall system apps? - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've installed Windows 10 Mobile to my Lumia 520. Problem with it is that I can't select any photo on other apps (photo chooser task will crash after finish loaded). I have updated Microsoft Photo but it still have the same problem. I wanted to uninstall Microsoft Photo and install it again.
Thank you.

I upgraded my phone from 8.1 to 10, and has problem. Full reset (factory reset) with WPRT to 8.1, then upgrade again, same problem, hard reset my phone doesn't work too.

System apps can not be uninstalled.

Developer Unlock troubles

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.

How do I rollback a Lumia 920 to Windows Phone 8?

Hey everyone,
I have an old L920 with WP 8.1 currently installed (I flashed it to a CV GB Non carrier last year). I want to reflash it again back to Windows Phone 8 Update 3 (last one before 8.1) but can't find where to get the ROM files. NavFirm+ doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks, but that's how to roll back from WinPhone 10 mobile back to 8.1 from the preview program. That doesn't apply here. I'm not enrolled in WP10 preview and I don't want 8.1. That's what's installed already.
I need a way to download old WP 8 ROM's

Install Windows 10 Mobile on unsupported Lumia

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!!!
Best Regards,
DADA
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...

Build 10586.164 doesn't has this bug I am using this build now and I have 4 different keyboards downloaded without any problem. This bug had Redstone build 14291.1001 as I remember...

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

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 :/

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?

Question about apps in ffu by default

Hello,
I would like to ask you about defaults apps in ffu ROM file.
I have lumia 925 with WP 8.1, and i want to test it with W10M,
but later I want to back it WP 8.1.
Windows store for WP 8.1 isnt work.
So, if I recovery it to WP 8.1 via WPDR tool, apps like HERE Maps, drive, Camera, back to me by default? Or i lose it?
Thanks for reply,
greets
That may well depend on the ffu in question. I did something similar to what you did (full factory reset), and lost the Lumia Camera app. After flashing the ffu of another Lumia 1020 variant onto my phone, I got the original (and almost identical) Nokia camera app, which suits me just fine.
OK, thanks for your reply. I think I will stay with the WP8.1, that is stable.
i rooted phone and now I may install the apps via MS deploy tools.
