Hi

I can't post any external links or photos or videos etc. because I'm still junior member on this forum...
It works fine if you don't use a lot of applications at the same time.

That could be the only issue I found so far, because Lumia 530 has only 512 MB RAM. If you use it one app at the time, it works same as W8.1...

And you should limit background apps (in battery saver) to increase battery life (I think that's the problem with W10 on all phones)..

Works fine on my lumia 530. Finally I got 10586.164 run on the phone.

The next updat to didn't work. Lumia 530 won't use sdcard. Any idea?

On internal drive only 1,3GB free. WIN10 tells me I need more :(

----
Finally it works - I just do HardReset once morer and same procedure. Thanks Dr_ausgemachten.

Hi LaCruz,

Please, could you give me your opinion as user of a L530 with W10? Is it worth upgrading the L530 to W10 considering that I have to pay $19 to register for Microsoft to unlock the L530.?

One of the reasons for bought it L530 was by the possibility of updating a W10. At the moment, my experience with W8.1 Update 2 is good. But, I always have the idea of upgrading to W10.

Thanks in advance.

Found this method on the internet a few days ago, since "vcReg and Extras&Info" method doesn't work any more. Tried and it works!!! :) I'm new on this forum, so i didn't know how to attach the necessary files at the bottom of the post, and I have inserted the photo with original links for download below the text.

1. Free up some space – The "100-year trick"

  • You will need a large MicroSD card – at least 4GB.
  • The updates downloaded alone require around 900MB of space. After it's finished, Windows 10 Mobile build 10586.164 takes 2.46GB on my Lumia 530. We're gonna need more space.
  • Hard reset your phone
  • When it comes back up, disable time synchronisation, and set the date to 100 years in the future (e.g. 01/01/2155).
  • Open the Settings App, and try to open all the various tabs. Many of them will tell you there's a problem, and allow you to uninstall it.
  • Uninstall any other apps from the All apps screen.
  • You should have around 1.4GB free space now.

2. Developer Unlock your Lumia 530

  • Install the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK
  • If you haven't already, you'll need to register as a developer.
  • Search for Windows Phone Developer Registration Tool 8.1, and follow the steps to Developer unlock your Lumia 530 (your screen must be unlocked during this procedure!! - set lock screen settings on 5 minutes or so).
  • Go to the app store, and install the Windows Insider and Preview for Developers app.
  • Open up Storage Sense, and move Preview for Developers to the SD card.
  • Make sure Windows Insider remains on your Phone storage; and the default App location is your Phone.

3. Interop Unlock your Lumia 530

  • Grab and deploy CustomWPSystem_0500. xap and WPSystem_Folder_Unlocker_Release_ARM. xap to your phone (using the Windows Phone Application Deployment 8.1 program from the SDK -> C:\Program Files (x86)\ Microsoft SDKs\ Windows Phone\ v8.1\ Tools\ AppDeploy\ AppDeploy. exe)
  • Copy CustomPFD_0003. xap to the SD Card
  • Open up WPSystem_Folder_Unlocker on your phone, and tap "Unlock WPSystem Folder (sdcard)". It should say "Success!"
  • Open up CustomWPSystem on your phone
  • Tap the red bar "SD Card permissions", then browse to your SD Card and tap Apply (the tick)
  • Scroll to the bottom, and tap "Select the XAP".
  • Pick the CustomPFD_0003. xap file you copied to the SD card.
  • Tap Apply Xap.
  • Browse to Preview for Developers in the All Apps list. The icon should have changed.

4. Change your Device Identifiers


Here's the real reason this works: We're going to pretend our humble Lumia 530 is actually a Lumia 535.

  • Open the Preview for Developers app
  • Browse to HKLM/SYSTEM/Platform/DeviceTargetingInfo
  • Change the following keys:
  • PhoneManufacturer: MicrosoftMDG
  • PhoneManufacturerModelName: RM-1089_1048
  • PhoneModelName: Lumia 535
  • PhoneMobileOperatorName: 000-IT

5. Force updates to download to the SD Card – the "1GB File trick"

Windows Update always prefers to download updates to the local phone storage. It's typically faster than the SD card, and a whole lot safer. But if there's insufficient space, it can download the update files to the SD card.

  • On your PC, open up a Command Prompt as Administrator(!)
  • Create a 1GB file (copy and paste following line in Command Prompt): fsutil file createnew C:\1gb.tmp 1000000000
  • Copy the file to your Phone storage.
  • Join the Insiders Program if you haven't already, and select Slow Ring or Release Preview.
  • Check for phone updates.
  • Soon after the updates begin downloading (say 5% to be sure), you must delete the 1GB temp file. While this file forced Windows Update to download to the SD card, we still need all that space we cleared earlier for the updates to actually install!
  • Allow your phone to reboot when prompted.

Installing process will be much slower, because installation files are downloaded on SDcard, which is generally slower than phone storage. With my Transcend 8GB SD it lasted for about 2 hours. If install progress hangs for >1 hour at the "Migrating your data" screen, it's safe to reboot and you've got 10586.xxx version now. :)

6. Hard reset your device

After Hard Reset, your phone will be lumia 530 again, but don't worry, the next update will come anyway!!

7. Upgrade your Lumia 530 to 10586.318

Once you've successfully got 10586.xxx installed on your Lumia 530, you can upgrade to 10586.318.
Delete all unnecessary data and apps from Phone storage
The old 1GB file trick again. Copy that 1GB file back to your phone storage.
In the Settings App, search for updates. They should again begin downloading to your SD card.
As before, delete the 1GB file after the updates begin downloading.

Hi,

I need your help. Please, could you guide me in the process?

Ok. My Nokia Lumia 530 is a Dual SIM version and I live in Nicaragua. So, I will need to change some info before, in order to upgrade to W10. The RM to be used should be RM-1090 (Lumia 535 Dual SIM), but the second number (RM-1090_xxxx) how selected it? The Phone Mobile Operator Name should be: 000-NI?

Thanks in advance.

hi

I couldn't find Nicaraguan carrier in lumia firmware software site http://www.lumiafirmware.com/ (that's where you search for identifiers). I found Italian identifiers (RM-1090_1046). Don't be confused about that. My original carrier is 000-RS (Serbia) and the phone is sim locked, but it worked with 000-IT (Italian). Anyway, your identifiers will return to original after the update and hard reset. As I could figure so far, the point is to trick the server to send you an update for existing phone. Regarding hardware, there are no differences between Lumias (e.g 535) all over the world.. I hope I helped you

You don't need to pay to register. Install the SDK and open the 'developer registration' program. Sign in with any microsoft account and it'll work.

Thanks for the guide, I've successfully updated to the 10586.318 build too.

Something to note is Developer Registration won't recognize your phone unless the phone is connected to the internet, and the date is correct. So if you changed the date to 100+ years, you might have to change it back to register.

Also, is it possible to get Fast ring working on this? It reboots when I pick fast ring and doesn't find any updates.
