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 -_-
Have tried to hard reset e for first thing try to upgrade?

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 everyone !
Recently I've tried to hack my phone to download windows 10 , so I've downloaded Lumia 630 certificate and now everytime I try to enter the windows insider application it closes automatically , I know I have to flash my phone using LSRT but I don't want to do this because I have so much apps and it takes about 4-5 hours installing apps after a reset or a flash
Can anyone here please get me a Lumia 820 certificate ? So I can enter the app without any problem , especially today is the day that windows 10 2nd preview will be available for my device and I'm so excited for it and I don't want to flash my phone
Please anyone get me the 820 certificate , its international version (country variant)
Thanks in advance
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.
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.

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?
Hi there, maxbrew here. I just got a Nokia Lumia 520 and windows phone 8.1 (also carrier locked).
I wanted to install some applications directly from the phone itself since I don't have much access to computers. Is it possible to do?
Hi Maxbrew,
the only way to install apps to the 520 is updating it to Windows 10 MOBILE. Without computer, that is impossible. With computer, it is a challenge, but possible and it runs fairly good. Search for Windows 10 mobile offline updater (W01M_Installer), install W10m, do all possible Updates, perform a hard reset and register it with Microsoft. Then you will be able to use the App store or sideload apps via developer mode.
Best regards,
Joachim
