I have joined to learn how to upgrade 830. I would like to try to update to latest W10M and see if there are any modifications necessary for battery/performance.

I might also see if I can learn how to install adblock and maybe night light, also on 950/950 XL. I have never successfully used Interop Tools, first I will try Tourniquet's Phone Updater.

Sorry for my Englisch

Cheers

I have used Phone Updater I found elsewhere on the internet (version Phone Updater 0.4.25.6 / Database 1.1810.1) to get to Windows 1703, 10.0.15063.1868
(I had to use WDRT and OTC several times as I got a few errors along the way)

I think the latest version of Windows 1709 is 10.0.15254.603? I would like to update to this.

Thank you for the link to the blue light page Klaus, I cannot access yet but I look forward to reading. I saw on XDA that there is a hosts file loader some people use to block ads, have you heard of this?

Tschüs

And now you're green, let's go.

I'm a bit dizzy from reading a lot in the last days, and now reading autotranslated posts on this forum. Klaus some of your old posts seem very funny, you must have a good sense of humour (or maybe it is a gift from Google translator!)

Zitat:Do you have a link to the xda thread discussing the adblock topic?

Zitat:What errors did you get with the updates? Do you have error codes or screen shots of them?

Zitat:10.0.15254.603 is the last official 1709 build. If you have time, desire and nerves, you should test on the 830 to see if the last 1703 build works better, 830=SD400=1.2GHz=1GB RAM. The render engine is the same for 1703 and 1709. You can use on both apps with the same update status.

I couldn't remember the viable XDA post but there are some links I found here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsphone/comments/fz4vfb/lumia_950_interop_unlock_guide/ <<< this poster mentions adblock success recently, it may be possible!



From my search history, I had 80188302, 80004005, and one more (sorry don't remember!). No screenshots, sorry... I beat my head against the computer for a while but eventually prevailed. I was confused where to start and which software to use, I had a lot of trouble finding the right download, then I didn't realise I needed all the Visual C++ redistributables. I didn't know how Phone Updater worked and I think once I removed the phone before the installation/upload was complete (didn't realise it takes 30-60 minutes) so I had an incomplete set of packages. Couldn't retry the update so I hard resetted. I think another time I started an update before completing the welcome setup wizard (had to do another hard reset). On my final time I tried Phone Updater from 8.1, it failed so I did OTC, then Phone Updater to get to 1703



Thank you... I am currently trying to update to 1709 using Interop Tools beta 1.7.157.0 (fbl_release(gustavem).160621-0900 found here The Lumia 1020 (/920) and continuing Store access in 2020 via W10M...

Question: Which is the latest version of Interop Tools? There are so many versions on the internet and 2 versions on the Store!
Bonus question: Which is compatible/recommended for 830 & 950? vcReg or Interop or WP Internals, for registry tweaking and unlock (if I get more adventurous...)



Hi! Thank you for your hard work supporting us! I have been downloading things at random like a hungry bowerbird, but I'm pretty sure I found it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsphone/comments/cusgt4/i_have_a_lumia_830_stuck_in_the_win_10_14393/

Final question (for today!): Are there any modifications required for 1709 to work well on 830? I am giving this phone to my mother, I mainly want stability and battery life. I read about paging file but if that is only for heavy multitasking, it is not necessary.

Thanks for your help and patience with my English! Danke scheun[/FONT][/COLOR][/align]

skaarj80 schrieb:The basic problem is IMHO, Windows 10 mobile was officially released in the end only for the 640, 550, 650 and 950 by MS. It runs on nearly every Lumia and the Samsung Ativ S, but i would guess not fully optimized (what should be the reason it‘s not officially released). Due to that missing optimizations, the blessed up Windows 10 mobile OS and Dome other reasons, the battery drain and the usability seems worse, compared to WP8.1, Bit without the (App) Store, WP8.1 became complete senseless in my opinion, W10m is a compromize, not more , not less.

I also found this for you... https://t.me/W10mobile/35864 -- the adblock app by sensboston on XDA.
I have not installed it yet as I am not confident with the method to Interop unlock the phone.

Maybe we can do it together?
Cheers
