no. this is only for new x50 series... for old x20 Interop tools is enough
just select Interop unlock in Interop Tools
first enable only "Restore NDTKSvc", wait 15 seconds, restart phone
run Interop tools again and now enable first two option in interop unlock
thats all... now you can change registry values

Thank you! Last question (I hope) - is there a way to install xap files from computer via the portal? It gives error, appx no problem.
only way to install xaps is with SDK and deployer and xap files must be unlocked (patched). original encrypted files is impossible to deploy
https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi.../tutorial-deploy-xaps-easily-wpv-xap-t3263968
also another tool for deploy XAP files (but dont forget to install SDK lite)

I´m asking because of app Lumia Camera. Is there a difference between Lumia and Windows Camera in photos quality please?
No, i don't think so. None of the apps provide any discernible difference in quality - even Proshot (which is not free). However, the Windows Camera app is slow on my Nokia phone 925 with Win10 AU, so I use Camera360 Sight.
Lumia 520 - No upgrade?
Hello,
First off - thank you to everyone who's posted a edited a guide or who helps out. This place is amazing and has helped me with many devices over the years. I have an HP Touchpad running Nougat, an Amazon Fire HD with the Google Play Store up and running, and so much more.
This is the first time I've needed to ask for help! I have a Lumia 520 which runs 8.1 Denim absolutely fine. When W10 was available through the Insider app, I tried that but eventually rolled back to 8.1. Recently, I wanted to try it again, so looked on here, did the registry edit (went for a 950 XL), updated through the normal software update - a bit slow but no problem. Decided I want to try the process again so I could be a bit more confident in the process.
So I used the WDRT to get the phone back to factory, set it up as a new phone, updated all the outstanding apps from the store, updated to 8.1 Denim, installed the Upgrade Tool. Then unlocked the bootloader, did the registry edit. Upgrade Tool said not available for my device. Installed the Insider app (I know it doesn't work...) but no luck there- "Server Error". I tried changing the details in the Registry to a Lumia 735, but nothing changed. Also tried another WDRT reset and repeated the process except for using a 735 from the outset.
I'd ideally like to go up to the Creators Update, just to see what it's like, so that's what I'm aiming for. This is not my daily use phone so it's not important to have everything perfectly functional.
My phone:
Nokia Lumia 520
3058.50000.1425.0006
RM-914_eu_euro1_327
000-GB
059S3T5
Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

Did this on my European unlocked L920 yesterday...had to read and check the guide a few times to make sure I was doing it right but it worked first time.
Set it as L830 as per original instructions.
Had an auto-update last night.
Today installed insider and downloaded W10 fast ring preview.
Lots of app updates.
Finally finished and amazed how fast and stable it is.
Camera works, bluetooth works...and it reminded me how much I like WM compared to my now Android phone.

The process is little bit trickier. Please download the Nokia Care suite. Download all the firmware files and place it in a folder as explained in this tutorial
https://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/general/how-to-flash-nokia-care-suite-5-t3044200
It should flash the device and it should work because WDRT and other tools fail because of the registry fails and it's always a good idea to restore the registry before using WDRT.
P.S instead of navifirm use http://lumiafirmware.com/
Everything will work instead of maps and auto brightnessDid this on my European unlocked L920 yesterday...had to read and check the guide a few times to make sure I was doing it right but it worked first time.

Those things are no problem to me, I did it on my backup phone just because I miss W10 on a phone and am curious how it is compared to when I sold my 950XL.
Just amazed how fast the L920 runs it and how stable it is so far.

24Installing Windows 10 Mobile Tech Preview on Lumia 925 & Old Lumias after downgrading
Howdy Guys,
Windows 10 Anniversary update is out!! Well there is good news and bad news as well. Good News- Windows 10 Anniversary update is awesome and its stability is also good it is available for all mobile as well as for PCs. Bad news is that now old lumia(925,920,820,1020) will not even be able to install threshold build that means no Windows 10 update when you downgrade to WP8.1.
All the registry hack tools for WP8.1 require Memory card so folks running WP8.1 with no memory card are helpless but, but there is a way you can install Windows 10 Mobile. This process is tedious and requires lot of patience. Don't give up!!
Step 1- Install WDRT so that you can get all the necessary drivers. you can easily search for it on google.
Step 2- Install Windows Phone Internals from here. thanks to @Heathcliff74.
Step 3- Check the getting started page of WPInternal.
Step 4- Now first we will unlock our bootloader and to do that we will be using WPInternal.
Step 5- For Lumia 925 you have to select FFU file from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Packages\<Your Device Revision>\ Remember to select FFU file of the same version as of the version installed on your phone. If you have an FFU that is of older version than please flash it first with the FFU then proceed.
Step 4- Then download the Emergency Flash Loaders by going to http://lumiafirmware.com. I have included for Lumia 925. It should be a .HEX file.
Step 6- Then select the SBL3 engineering file and to enable ROOT access it is IMPORTANT to Select this file. I have included some files.
Step 7- Now click continue and wait for the process to complete.
Step 8- Now you can Enable root access.
Step 9- Open RegEdit in your PC and click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and then select files == > Load Hive.
Step 10- Now in the dialog window navigate to MainOS ==> Windows/system32/config and select SYSTEM, it will ask for a name and name it such that you are not confused.
Step 11- Now change the necessary keys. In this you have to navigate to Platform-->DeviceTargetingInfo and then need to change
PhoneManufacturer = NOKIA,
PhoneManufacturerModelName = RM-984_1006,
PhoneModelName = Lumia 830,
PhoneHardwareVariant. = RM-984
For Lumia 925 I used the details of Lumia 830 Indian Variant. You can use the supported lumia which is close to your model in terms of spec.
and after editing click unload Hive this will save your data and everything
Step 12- Disable root access and press power+volumeDown key to soft reset and start your device.
Step 13- Download Windows Insider and select preferred ring and you should see an update. Note after various updates release preview ring doesn't work for Lumia 830, so if you are using Lumia 830 or any unsupported devices then please use slow or fast insider ring
Thank You.
I would also like to thanks to @tofuschnitte.3It worked on Lumia 720. Thank you very much! :fingers-crossed:
When i edited the registry i used this values:
a)change " PhoneManufacturer " = MicrosoftMDG
b)change " PhoneManufacturerModelName " = RM-1085_11302 (for Single SIM devices) // *** For all dual sim devices try = RM-1116_11258 ***
4) change PhoneModelName = Lumia 950 XL (single sim) or Lumia 950 XL Dual SIM (for dual)
5)change PhoneHardwareVariant = RM-1085
I had found them on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...windows-mobile-10-redstone-rs1-build-t3319375
Again, thank you! :good:2
This is well know, is nothing new even if I'm an Android supporter we are talking about different architectures where by design Windows Mobile require less resources. Just to return in topic I'm running WM10 on 512 Mb RAM. To run smoothly Android, especially MM we need more then double RAM.
PS: I just installed Redstone on L720. Finally to get the update to RS I used WPInternal as explained on OP but using these strings on registry:
PhoneManufacturer " = MicrosoftMDG
PhoneManufacturerModelName " = RM-1085_11302 (for Single SIM devices) // *** For all dual sim devices try = RM-1116_11258 ***
PhoneModelName = Lumia 950 XL (single sim) or Lumia 950 XL Dual SIM (for dual)
PhoneHardwareVariant = RM-1085
Then after I upgraded to WM 10.1 TH2 I put these values to get Redstone but using CustomFPD
PhoneHardwareVariant – RM-1027
PhoneManufacturer – NOKIA
PhoneManufacturerModelName – RM-1027_1007
PhoneMobileOperatorName – 000-HK
PhoneModelName – Lumia 636
PhoneSOCVersion – 8926
It's working fine except BT toggle remaining selected even if not enabled. Under monitoring.2
I did several tests but it seems that I could get access basically as showed on this page:
http://www.kapilarya.com/the-proces...e-because-it-is-being-used-by-another-process
In our case we should look for SYSTEM instead of SAM and the root drive is mounted as "G" letter in my WIn10 partition, then I could edit the registry into the root drive.
Now updating....2
Did you check your phone model details in "Extras and Info"? Is it displaying "Lumia 925" or the one to which you've set, I assume you must have set it to "Lumia 830"?

Yes, hard reset will change it back to its original registry values. After hard reset you can change the registry values by installing "Interop Unlock Tool" in Windows 10 Mobile you can search for the tool in this forum or you can use any search engine to search for it, so no need for "WP Internals". If you still want to go back to Windows Phone 8.1 you can use "Windows Device Recovery Tool".
