Mass Storage Lumia 1020 (Engineering SBL3 doesnt work) - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everbody,
i have two 1020 here. One France version and one German.
In both i unlocked the bootloader succesful and had the engineering SBL3 added to the flashing process.
Now in both of these devices i cant gain access to the mass storage mode via Windows Phone internals 2.8.
Both devices are on WP8.1. The German device has Denim and the France one has Cyan update.
The reason i want mass-storage access is for root, so i can install Lumia Camera again. Both phones have the standard Microsoft cam with very few options.
I softreseted the phone several times while it was doing nothing after it was in flash mode. But every time it gets stuck before it can get to mass storage mode.
PC OS ist Win10pro 1909
Does anybody know why i cant gain acess to the mass storage mode ?
Best regards

interesting.. here's my sbl3 file go try itLink

Hi,
I don't know, if there is a way to install an app via mass storage mode.
I think it is nearly impossible to add new apps to a WP 8.x Lumia as the store is closed and development registration does not work either, so you could deploy manually.
As far as I remember I installed the stock german ROM and Lumia Camera was integrated. You could try an update on one of your Lumias, but always consider that WP8.1 is no more supported by Microsoft and the store is unavailable. As for the camera, a Windows 10 update is not an option. You would get back the App store, but loose at least the 41 MP feature. People write about having 38 MP. Maybe you could buy a third 1020 in ebay-kleinanzeigen with a broken display for testing, update to W10mobile and test the camera features.
Best regards,
Joachim

My advice to you is you use 1020 as mp3 or tablet on windows 10 mobile
just unlock the bootloader and install lumia apps use be good with 8.1 )

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''...

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.

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.

Win 8.1 Update 2 on Lumia 930?

Hi,
On the Lumia 930, Win 10 mob seems to be the only option available through Insider and on LumiaFirmware.com I can only find Win 8.1 Update 1 FFUs. I'm sure Update 2 was once available for the 930 but I can't find it anywhere now.
Cheers,
M.

NO NEED TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER U NEED TO CLICK ON MANUAL MODE AND THEN
MASS STORAGE MODE
Doesn't work
Hi, i have a Lumia 930 with WP 8.1 Update 1 and want to move to GDR2. The WPInterals program version shown in the Video linked above (V1.2) does not support this model, so i used the latest (V2.8).
When i want to enter mass storage mode with this it says i Need to unlock Bootloader first, which does not work however (Bad GPT error).
Any clues what to do to get to GDR2 ?
Thanks

Lumia 1020 interop

Hello!
I have upgraded my 1020 with GDR2.
with a root access, a reg mod and an update directly after.
I own a Microsoft developper account ID.
i have semi unlocked my Lumia.
Just to know if there a way for interop my unit for really side loading.
Don't know how to make VCREG1.2 working without the Mixradio exploit or SD card exploit...
...and would love to use old store XAP files. (know, it's impossible ?!)
I love my 1020. very smoothy with 8.1.2 ^_^
Thank a lot.
Use windows phone internals to unlock the phone and get root access. If i don't remember wrong, you'll need to unlock the bootloader first(with the same app), after that just sideload vcreg and it will load and work. You don't need to do any app replacement, nor any old method.
Thank a lot for your reply.
But... I can't side load my vcreg.xap with Windows deployment tool.
My 1020 is seen as a mass storage unit (normal in root mode).

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.

Hello everyone!

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
