How did you do that ? using upgrade advisor app ?
Yep, uninstall Extras&Info from storage manager and if you're insider, un-enroll your device and stay on production-TH2, Then use DHTUpgradeAdvisor, backup your DeviceTargetingInfo and hit the button "allow update".

Install upgrade advisor from store and check for update via upadv. Wait a few hours and make somes reboots, then check for update via settings app.

Done.

I made sure I was on threshold 2 branch, that is production. Then I made sure I had developer mode enabled. Then I uninstalled Extras&Info. Then I downloaded this tool and clicked allow update. Rebooted dozen of times, waited for 3 days, no luck. I get no updates. I also tried Upgrade Advisor from Store. It also says that Im up to date. 10586.545, Lumia 820. What am I doing wrong?

I u have lumia 820, use windows insider and select release preview ring or slow ring, make sure about what targeting info you're using, btw Redstone "Anniversary Update" is not yet available for some devices or is no yet ready for phones right now via upgrade advisor, anyone correct if I'm wrong.

Nevermind, apparently Extras&Info app is needed, it just needs NOT to be updated (just my speculation). I couldn't reset the phone earlier than at the weekend as I am really busy and need the phone working. By resetting and not letting any apps update and just directly using this app and then switching to Insider Release Preview I managed to install rs1: http://i.imgur.com/lhUF7me.png (can't get screenshot of the phone because I'm quite far away from it :D )

I already knew that :D I wanted to know if enterprise version had extras. All the screen shots we have seen recently (like continuum for 830 or 635 and rs1 on 512mb ram) were on enterprise version.

830 was on enterprise version but other phones was not (actually from @ tfwboredom twitter).

so that its a good new, btw yeap it just need not to be updated, of course for those people who face the problem of not getting the update they can just simply go to settings> system> storage> apps> find "Extras&Info" app and uninstall it. then later apply the targetinginfo hack and get update. :) :D

ok I am not able to do this, and this is what I do
1. unrar the appex file and rename it to .appx
2. unzip the dependency files
3 connect to my phone with browser and go to app manager
4 add DHTUpgradeAdvisor_1.1.4.0_arm_Debug.appx to App Package
5 add both files from the dependency zip file to Dependency
5. Deploy
6. start the app
7. slide to backup to on (now I can see info about my phone)
8 make sure it is set to correct number of simcards
9. Tap on Allow update (it turns dark gray when I tap on it but nothing happens)
10. go to insider app and set to fast
11. check for update
what should I see when I tap on "Allow update"? and what am I doing wrong?
I have developer mode on, and I have uninstalled "Extras&Info" app

After tapping on allow update it won't show any message .
if you can't get update maybe your device is 512MB of Ram or you can try to leave insider program and join it again . Maybe changing the ring should solve it . Many times I see this problem in insider program .

Hello, just commented that this application if they removed it to 8.1 would be like a miracle that many of us are in 8.1 with 512 of ram phones and would be fabulous to be able to upload to windows 10 mobile again but my esperanzansas say me that this application does not reach 8.1 hope and if well get a warm greeting.

    How did you do that ? using upgrade advisor app ?
    Yep, uninstall Extras&Info from storage manager and if you're insider, un-enroll your device and stay on production-TH2, Then use DHTUpgradeAdvisor, backup your DeviceTargetingInfo and hit the button "allow update".

    Install upgrade advisor from store and check for update via upadv. Wait a few hours and make somes reboots, then check for update via settings app.

    Done.
