Side question: Is Lumia 920 section officially dead?
So now i'm on WP8.1 looking forward to update to 10, whatever it is. Insider preview, technical, whatever, I just need to. But all fast ring, slow ring, all are not working. Everytime I select one, it force me to reboot in 10s, then REPEAT for eternity. No update in update setting.
I don't know if the lumia 920 section is dead or not. But I do know that Microsoft has ceased support for the lumia 920 concerning windows 10 update. SO you cant update it anymore via insider etc etc. --> But still the last preview version was really buggy so consider yourself lucky.
If you really want to try/update to windows 10 then look at the XDA lumia 920 main page (see button somewhere above this site. Are we allowed to post links in this forum???).
I've used these steps to update my lumia 920 to windows 10 and it really works. However you need to know that Windows 10 on the lumia 920 isn't perfect.

Appreciate your input. I tried. That tutorial was to sideload app and tweak and stuff. But i'm still on 8.1 and unable to do so IDK why. Everytime I sideload that app I get run time error. Please check capabilities etc.
Right now I am trying to revert back further to oldest 8.1 (before small patch OTA) to see if I can re-try that trick again.
I got a new phone. And giving this one to my sister. Facebook doesnt work very well (news feed skipping problem) so I try to upgrade to WP10 to get a new FB app for her.
Edit: Wait, I take that back. I checked general wp section. Not L920. So I need to check it again to make sure. Thanks.

Well I don't really know what you meant with side loading. When you look at the lumia section onder development you'll see a link with the Title:
[ROM][DHT v0.1]Windows 10 v10586 ROM for Nokia Lumia 920 (RM-821) posted by ngame within this board I've also done some tests and I've given some info.
I essence you're going to put a windows 10 OS from a different device onto a lumia 920 I thin k it came from the 950. So putting a custom rom on the 920.

Yeah, I just saw that. Couldn't find a clear tutorial on how to do this. Now i'm on stock 8.1. Do you have a link for complete tutorial that includes link to every necessary components in English?
I could do that, however I first have to know 1 thing. are you using RM820 or RM 821 or etc? BEcause the faq is based on a RM821.

RM821. Would fit perfectly
Oke well, if you want I can make a Faq based on my experience resulting in a working lumia 920 with an official windows 10 os.
However please note that If something were to fail or if the device were to brick (wich you can just unbrick see the lumia 920 board) I will not be responsible for any of it.

Don't worry mate. I messed around with mobile software since Symbian-day. I've been off for only 2-3 years.
Oke well I'm at work right now so I'll type something tonight (fyi. I live in the Netherlands).

Anytime, mate.
First you need to download the following files:
- Hex_loader
- SBL3_Engineering
- WindowsDeviceRecoveryToolInstaller
-------> - http://nokiaviews.com/unlock-windows-phone-bootloader-and-enable-mass-storage.html
- EFIESP & Custom Rom File
-------> - https://www.mediafire.com/folder/nd6yd9pzbld7v/DHT_L920
- Malaysian FFU file RM821 you need this one because, apparently,
the Malaysian firmware uses a different storage partitioning, which is necessary for windows 10.
Yes it is possible to reformat the drive with windowsitnernals, however most people on the board and from experience can tell you that it won't work.
When you flash the ISO it will say that the ISO is too BIG.
-------> - http://www.lumiafirmware.com/guid/059R024
- WPinternals 1.2
-------> - http://www.wpinternals.net/index.php/126-wpinternals-1-2-released
Now First organize:
Extract the zip/rar files to a folder and make it clear so that you can find it again:
I don't know if certain steps are or aren't necessary but I'll include them since
I've done them in order to make it work.
It is recommended to HARD reset first before doing this.
First: you need to install WindowsDeviceRecoveryToolInstaller,
1 to recover the phone and
2 it will install the right driveres on your pc. Atleast I was told to do this (you just have to install it that's it).
Second: Start WPInternals:
1 you need to bootload your device using the following files, HEX, ENGINEER etc the first 3 files above.
2 you need to change your current device firmware to the Malaysian ROM. --->PLATFORM--> FLASH--> Flash ORIGINAL FFU.
3 it will take some time and it will need a reboot
4 After that go to load iso and use the files--> WPInternals go to the -> Platform -> Flash -> Flash Separate partition and select the MainOS partition.
Third: when it is done:
1 Your device MAY show the following glitches:
-Stops at nokia screen,
-stops at windows screen,
-stops at the boot screen,
-it will boot to the start screen but you wont see any tiles,
-it will boot to the start but you can't use the touchscreen,
-it will boot to the start with touchscreen but you wont be able to swipe beyond the start screen.
2 To solve this you need to do a hard reset so if possible turn off your device.
Then coneect your device to a charger while holding down. When you see a exclamation point ! you need to let go and press the following up-down-power-down. It will then do a hard reset.
If you are unable to turn the device off then do the following--> perform a soft reset bij holding power and down. When it restarts quickly connect the charger and hold down. If you're to slow it will boot up and you need to do it again. But you'll have enough time to do this.
After restart it should work.
Good luck.

IDK why people love mediafire so much. I don't remember the last time that I managed to download big file through that website. And DepositFiles.
No matter at what internet speed i have. No matter how fast I can download from other websites. I just can't get more than 30kbps from that 2 websites. I just can't.
Edit: Worse thing is ffu file download can't be resumed. Everytime my stupid internet disconnect for 3s for absolute no reason, the download restarts.
Well sorry but that's where I've downloaded the files. Maybe click download and just wait...

I think the update route is not an option anymore. You should try to flash the firmware with Nokia Care Suite
So.. I downloaded and installed NCS and got files from Navifirm.
However, when I go to Recovery, the Product Support tool doesn't see the data packages - tried rescan, and I have preferences to search in the location where the data is.
Am I missing a step? I have them downloaded, but is there an installation for the data package I'm missing?
Thanks for any help!

Copythe folder holding the files you got from Navifirm to C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products and rename the folder to the model number (as in 'RM-801' for the EU Lumia 800)
Then in NCP do File>open product and select the correct product
Sending the language cabs fixed this for me. No need to reflash or lose any data.
Goodbye for Now, Lumia..
Thank you all for the very helpful and instructive comments.
I did in fact attempt to use cabsender to send all language files to the Lumia; failed. Then tried one at a time; also failed. That's turned out to be the death nell (sp?)
I finally got the hang of NCS, got the correct files to appear, and also did the manual driver installations for x64. NCS could read my phone, but when I did the actual recovery, no matter what the phone just would not go into recovery. Would always power up and stick me either on starting or on checking mode. I even tried different button hold combos and then just not pressing anything - to no avail.
So it left me with a phone that could take and receive phone calls, but no access to ANYTHING requiring alpha input - including SMS and email.
Looking back, I think I may have also had a hardware issue. I could never get bluetooth to keep a connection properly - and many other RM-801 owners told me theirs worked fine; mine was not under warranty so was stuck. I don't know if that had anything to do with the phone rejecting the language files for 8112 and 8773, or with it not responding to any flash attempts - but wouldn't be surprised.
Today, I am thanking the Gods that I never got around to selling my HD7. I recommissioned it and got the new SIM for it and it's up and running nicely now. I figure if anyone dumps a Lumia *900 for less than $100, I'll go for it, but otherwise am intending to use this until I get my hands on a WP8 near the end of the year.
I found to my surprise that using the larger screen on the HD7 though less pretty was really refreshing. I love the form factor of the Lumia 800, but I think the Metro UI really deserves a bigger screen.
Anyway, congrats to all who had success and again many thanks to those who tried to help me yesterday and last night. Am sure we'll connect again when we have our Lumia Liquid Metal PureView WP8's!
Cheers,

Try doing a simple refurbish instead of recovery. It doesn't require any buton acrobatics, just plug the phone in after starting NCS. The only trick in this case involves renaming the ROM files to match your phones Product Code, If you choose to flash with different variant.

Interesting; I'll give it a try!
I did remember that cabsender does a restore, but that didn't work.
I thought of the refurbish, but the software wouldn't appear. I will try your method after work tonight. Might be the trick.
Still suspicious of my phone's hardware, but man, I can live with it until WP8..

Don't even bother with cabsender recovery - it uses Zune and Zune backups are uttterly useless.
NCS recovery means flashing a dead phone (or playing dead to force a different variant ROM) - that's where you need VolUp while powering on.
NCS refurbish means flashing a working phone - you plug it in normally and ROM file names must match your product code.

Hey Skrypek, you just SAVED me!! The file renaming followed by refurbish did the trick!
Also used your method to update to a UK Variant of Tango for the RM-801 - and went SMOOTHLY with no downloading and screwing around with language packs or cab files. Everything is running perfectly and can access all alpha functions SMS MMS, Email, Wifi, About Phone - i.e. every single thing that had been malfunctioning before.
I am now a strong fan of Navifirm + Nokia Care Suite - VERY easy to work with.
Now I just have to visit the T-Mobile folks and get a new microsim card!
(edit, feeling adventurous again, I cut my SIM card - SUCCESS - so now don't have to shell out another $20 to T-Mobile )
Many thanks!
I really thought I had a brick and had posted an ebay auction for parts; glad I was able to snag the listing back!
Cheers,
Skrypek..
Did I tell you you're amazing?
Thanks again!!!!
Nice to have my Lumia back!!!
I wanted to post in the development section, but it requires 10 posts or more.Thing is, I flashed it and all, NSS reported OS was written succesfully, but it won't boot past the Nokia screen.I tried hard resetting but it doesn't vibrate, it shows up as a NAND flash device in NSS,windows also picks it up so I guess it's alive.Thing is, how do I reflash it to its Original FW and Hard Reset it, it's a T-Mobile UK branded one.

I used that Lumia 800 FullUnlock ROM.
Help is greatly appreciated, as this isn't my phone and I would have to pay 400 euros for a new one if this doesn't work.
try this:
- disconnect the phone from pc
- wait a minute or more
- keep pressing power button ~10 sec, then release it
- if it still doesn't powering, keep pressing vol up button, release it, then keep pressing power button.
mine is a tmobile uk, too. after the phone goes to OSBL mode, the only way to start phone normally, is through the method i described.
good luck!
I did that, still nothing, stuck on Nokia logo.The partitions are all shown, in NSS pro there are 1-8 partitions, in ubuntu there is sdc1-9.On which partition is the OS and on which is the bootloader?
lumia 800
you didnt flash the sdb3 partition you need to flash that in linux to get the phone to boot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30009310&postcount=13
do that and you will be sorted

Oh my god bro, If you can show me how to do that(I used NSS Pro in order to flash the OS), i'll gladly appreciate it.
Also does this apply for rainbowmod only or for every ROM?

pretty going off topic even on my own topic, but how do i boot the lumia into disk mode(mass storage) so i can send files via USB?Zune only allows videos/music/pics.
Hey guys,
I was reading allot of info on the web about windows phone and the amber update and stuff.. but never a solid release date.
so the amber update is going to be released in this august, and this info is coming from some guy in spain via twitter..
so we are not sure when this update is going to be released. (ok it hasj been released)
but i have recently installed the amber update like so many others, and the update is really good, adding allot of new features that anyone with a lumia should be able to enjoy.
since windowsmania.pl doesnt offer the roms anymore (and i dont speak polish) and the amber roms aren't available through Nokia Care Suite, it could be quite difficult to obtain the roms and the necessary files & info to install this update on your phone.
i put together a few steps that will help you install amber. (especially when you never did this before!)
also this is mostly for the europian users with a Lumia 920.
please note that i will not be responsible of your own action on flashing a phone!
like only start flashing with a full battery!!
and make backups before you start! your phone will be wiped clean!
(go to settings for backup options, wp8 can make all the backups you want!)
Downloading the right files & setting this up:
step 1.: download Nokia Care Suite --> also known as NCS --> get it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?aww6lix9f0vuukd or http://d-h.st/IvF
after download install NCS.
(UPDATE: you can also update NCS itself by clicking updates in the NCS main menu.
by doing this it will also automatically install every necessary driver. so step 2 isnt really needed.. but you still need to do step 3 because it will give you acces to the update itself!!)
step 2.: download the drivers here: http://d-h.st/Mc3
install the files and reboot the pc after installing!
(includes 64bits drivers and 32bits drivers, if you don't know which one you should use, you can better stop reading from here )
step 3.: go to: C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Product Support Tool For Store 5.0 and find the usergroupsconfiguration.cfg file.
replace it with this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?r0up8y7tyku1k11 or http://d-h.st/GFW
thanks for the config file go to Jragar
(it will give you acces to Care Suite External)
Step 4.: download the rom here:
part 1: http://d-h.st/JgP
part 2: http://d-h.st/2JG
part 3: http://d-h.st/h17
(its the RM821_3047.0000.1326.2002_RETAIL_eu_euro1_425_02_240539 with product code 059R4H6) thanks for the rom goes to: blakepender
Note: i used the rom on my Dutch Lumia 920 with code: 059R016. it still works like a charm and i still have product code 059R016. so i dont think it will change your product code. (but im not sure!)
drop all files from the .rar into: C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-821.
if you dont have this folder yet. create it and then put all the files in there.
Identify the phone:
Step 5.: plug in your phone, while the phone is on, so your pc can detect it. After the phone has been found by your pc, start NCS.
double click on the "Product Support Tool for Store 5.0", it will promp you for username and password, just press sign in.
If all went well, NCS already found your phone and it will give some info about it. like that it will be running in normal mode.
Step 6.: In the Product Support Tool (PST) click on "File" --> "Open Product". A new window will appear. go to "RM-821" click open.
Step 7.: Now click on "programming" (Bottom left in PST) --> "recovery". After this click on "update list" the rom file should appear.
if not check if you put everything into the right folder. (step 4).
Start Flashing:
Step 8.: Click the start button once! it will give an error. This is good! (its because it has an different product code, but it will be fine)
please note that it can take a few minutes before PST gives a "recovery - failed" notification. please be patient. press ok after you get it.
Step 9.: Now unplug your phone, and power it off. Hit the Start button once again. PST will give an error that it can't find your phone.
It will show you the option how to start your Lumia 920 in flash mode.
Step 10.: Start your phone by pressing the power button + volume down button simultaneous. when the phone starts the vibrate. plug the phone back in to the pc, and press the "Retry" Button.
Give it a minute and it will start flashing your phone.
You know its going ok if you start seeing the nokia logo with a progress bar on the phone.
Please while the phone is flashing, dont touch anything.. if it gets disconnected somehow your phone can get bricked..
When the flashing is done it will reboot and it will start wp8 with amber.
Please keep in mind that it will take allot longer to boot the first time because it has to configure allot of things.
Your phone will start and ask you what language you want, just follow these steps, after this you will have the amber update up and running!
After a few hours to possibly 2 days (tnx Mikemikeson) with wifi it will give a notice that you will have like 10 or more updates pending. do this updates to get all amber features!
like sms + call blocking.
Hope these steps will help some folks that just cant wait to get Amber and didnt knew where to get the right files.
Good Luck!
p.s. this was done on a windows 7 pc and was confirmed working on windows 8.
Thank you
I flashed my unbranded Lumia 920 product code 059R075, with this one. I can confirm that this is perfectly done. No problems so long as you follow the instructions.

I honoustly don't know if it will work.
you can try i though. when you have PST running with your phone connected, you can look for the latest rom file available for your phone.
under "tools" click on "firmware download" type in your product code, which can be found under the basic info tab. it should show the latest available firmware for your phone.
it will be non-amber, but atleast you have something to turn back to if it doesnt work in the end..
so download this rom first before you start flashing and you should be able to try it out without any consequence.
otherwise check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44504258
its about putting amber on AT&T Lumia 920.
so good luck!

Fix missing languages
Instead of adding keyboard, simply change the system language and you will automatically get the desired keyboard. Your languages persist should you revert back to English or any other system locale.

Thank you for this info, i did not know. im transfering the files as we speak.
it should be available within the hour.
Sorry for the inconvience
Flashed this last night and it is working beautifully, I have noticed since installing this WhatsApp, Skype and Lync are pushing messages through much more efficiently and I have found my battery still has 40% charge after being used all day, usually by this time I would be at about 15%.
For other people that flash, check out this page here for all of the QR codes for the Nokia system apps.
Use the Bing Vision on each of these QR codes to force the updates down.
Thanks for providing the ROM and Instructions, much appreciated.

Thanks a lot mate Amber works like a charm!
if anyone can give me a hand, Click start > get initial error. Power off, hit start, get prompt to but it into flash mode, power on with down arrow and power button, hit retry get error
0xFA001304: Platform ID check fails. Reason(s): The FFU file is not meant for this product. The platform ID of image does not match with platform ID of the device.
on my ATT 820, I know it's a different device, just wondering for those few who got it working on the ATT variant, if there was something else I needed to do .
************ Edit ************
Well, I guess I never flashed it to portico, and I don't see a copy anywhere so I guess I'm waiting on the official 820 variant. But thanks
i have an unlocked 920 (i think it is RM-820)... will this flashing method work for mine as well?

you can check with NCS to make sure if its really a rm-820. just look for basic info in PST.
also it should work but it will change it to rm-821. and im not sure what that will do for your provider. Probably nothing.
maybe if you check the lumia 920 dev section on this site, i know there is a topic about changing from rm-820 to rm-821.
im on a holiday in greece on a tablet so i cant search for link now. good luck and i hope you wil have amber soon!

Hi Guys
I use a Lumia 920 locked on EE Uk Network and was very impatient that we have still not received the Amber Update and after much searching I am finally on Amber and loving it.
So Here is How you do it :-
1 ] Download NOKIA SOFTWARE UPDATeR FOR RETAIL
2] Install it on your PC > It will also automatically Install any drivers or additional software required
3] Once Installed Follow Instructions to Connect your Phone through Cable to PC
4] It will Show you the update available for your Phone
5] Follow Instructions to Download and install the software update.
6] I normally do another full hard reset after updates just in case (optional)
ENJOY!!!
FAQ
1] DOES THIS WIPE YOUR PHONE?
This way of updating will WIPE everything of your phone so a backup of your stuff is a must unless you are happy to start from scratch like me, It wont effect your purchase as they are linked to your MS Account, game saves and other stuff will be effected.
2] IS THE SOFTWARE TRUSTWORTHY?
The software is generally for use by People at Nokia Care Centres to update phones, as for the validity of the software with regards to viruses and stuff I found the link on google and you are welcome to search for the same if you can find another download link by googling ( Nokia software updater for retail 3.08)
3] WHAT IF THINGS GO WRONG?
I can't help you in anyway as I am just posting the resources, but it is a very straight forward process that even a 5 year old could do it.
ENJOY!! -
Does not work with ATT phones in the US. It finds the version of software that was already sent OTA six months ago. It is not Amber. It also gets and internal error after it downloads said software due to it being the same as already on the phone. 1314.0001 is what this package finds, and it is what was released OTA several months ago and is what is on my phone now.

Hi Thanks for the feedback, so maybe there is no update available for your device on the nokia servers then, I know it works as I have the amber update right now as enjoying every bit of it and its still not released on the UK networks except for vodafone.
Maybe you can keep trying every alternate days, and lets us know
thank you.
If there is no firmware on NCS servers you can not use NSU anyway.

Many thanks, been waiting for what feels like an eternity for my Three Lumia 920 to get the update - Nokia site still says it is coming soon for Three UK. I downloaded the software, plugged my phone in and it said the update is available. Downloading right now :good:
Thank you worked like a charm took me 5 minutes for everything
Stuck with 18 applications that won't download
Lumia 820 on Orange UK (never again! Could any company be worse.)
Took rather longer than 5 mins as I am out in the sticks and it's 1.22Gb to download.
I am now looking at "18 downloads" in the Store, each one of which says "Downloading application Attention required. Tap here."
I tap, and get "We can't connect to the Store at the moment. Check your data connection or try later". Hit retry ... and go round in a circle.
Or I get "Downloading application. There has been a problem completing your request. Try again later. Error code 8000ffff"
The connection should be OK as I can see bbc.co.uk, for instance.
Perhaps I'll try in the middle of the night.
cant update mine, is a 920 in MX telcel. it just download the update but at last time its says "error writing firmware on device" and the phone reboots. What can I do?
Does amber work with my USA ATT phone
I have an AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 thats unlocked to a different carrier right now. Can I follow your directions to install Amber onto it right now?
Thanks for the help guys appreciate it.
I got one problem as well. Phone was bought from ee (but unlocked using the code). However then i try to install nokia pro camera it says its not available for your device. can it be that ee hasn't released amber update yet?

There is apparently a problem with the Procam and it seems to have disappeared from the store at the moment as well, I believe Nokia has pulled it for some reason.
Lot of people are posting that it is not available for your device.
Answering my own question

I used Windows 7 and it worked on that.
Just saw your 2nd picture. I think everything to do with Windows Phone 8 needs Windows 7 or above. I couldn't do anything with my Lumia on my XP machines. Quite why not I can't imagine, but that's Microsoft for you.

I got Windows 7 and 8 machines too. I'll try it there. My Vista machine is my daily use laptop. Oh well.
Thanks for the input.
After spending a total of about 4-5 hours (including download times on my internet connection), I finally managed to get my Lumia 920 on the Windows Insider Fast ring for the latest Windows 10 Mobile builds. It's a tedious process, and requires at least 40GB of free space. The tools you will need are WPInternals, a backup of the Windows Phone 8.1 .ffu for your specific model just in case (I would say this is optional, although I can't guarantee this will work in the future), a Windows 7/8/10 computer, USB cable, and This rom by werty100. I have tested this only on the AT&T RM-820, although since I have ran RM-821 roms and firmware on my device it should hopefully work for other 920 variants.
*DISCLAIMER* Your warranty is now void if you modify your phone. I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
Make sure you have an unlocked bootloader using WPInternals. Download and flash the Windows 10 10.0.10586.36 rom I linked earlier in the post, and follow this post here on how to get it to properly boot. Feel free to set it up and sign into your accounts, get all the apps downloaded that you wish. Afterwards, use WPInternals to boot your phone into Mass Storage mode. While that's booting to mass storage, open up Regedit.exe on your computer.
Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in Regedit, then go to File --> Load Hive. Select SYSTEM from the path of E:\Windows\system32\config. Name it something like Phone_System. The path might differ from the letter E. Open Phone_System --> Platform --> DeviceTargetingInfo. Click on the file of PhoneManufacturerModelName, and change it to: RM-1085_113025. Next change PhoneModelName from Lumia 920 to Lumia 950. Lastly, edit PhoneHardwareVariant and change it to RM-1085. Click on Phone_system again, go to File --> Unload Hive.
Next hold the Volume Down and Power button simultaneously until you see the Nokia splash screen. Wait for it to boot, launch Windows Insider and select Insider Fast, and reboot and then check for updates. It should download everything properly, take about 30 minutes once it goes to install and then will reboot. The screen may go black here and there while booting but don't worry, it will boot fine. Congrats, you are on the latest build! It may be a tiny bit buggy at first but after using it for an hour or so everything will be very smooth.
*UPDATE*
Updates are still rolling in smoothly. The other day it updated to 10.0.14393.103. Hopefully this workaround keeps working for a while!
Thanks bro, W10 runs far better than 8.1, sadly, I'm on 10.0.14393.351 and Bluetooth is not working, it's greyed out, I don't know what to do to get it working again, worth mentioning that I used the 830 model and RM, I don't know if that caused the issue
still it works
as of 14955.1000 it still works. thanks.

Good to hear that it's still working. I haven't updated too recently
Hey, I have tried but when I was unlocking bootloader in windows phone internals the process stopped during "Switching to Emergency Download mode". Now my Lumia 920 wont react to hard or soft restart. When I plug it to the pc it do the "noise" that it is connected but I cant see it and the phone doesnt react. Can I fix this somehow please?
Just want to thanks it works and runs really good on my 920 - Windows 10 Version 1607 Build 10.0.14959.1000
will definitely try this when i have free time! I want to ask something though, if anything goes wrong during the flash process, how can i fix that problem? Can i use Windows device recovery tool?

That should mostly work
got my 920 in mass storage mode but i cant figure out the regedit part, when i select load hive which file am i supposed to open?
Does this process irreversible ?
What about rootability using this version?
PS Awesome work!
Or is that a stupid question? I ask because I'd like to upgrade my 920 to win 10.0.14* while keeping the possibility of changing a few files (mostly the hosts file) and then to unroot & relock for security. Would that be possible?

I personally don't know for sure on that. I'm mainly an Android user and I don't have much experience with WP devices other than my old Lumia 520 and my Lumia 920 .-.

No. You can flash the backup stock .ffu file if you want to roll back to WP8.1

I was mainly an Android user but I didn't have the time available anymore to deal with custom ROMs to keep my devices secure & privacy-enabled. It seems that the time has come to do get into ROMs for WP10
Thanks anyway for answering! If I find out more I'll post back.
Hi, can you please specify how to reflash to original soft? Everytime I try Windows Device Recovery tool I get "failed" message during the process, and my phone is stuck in red flash mode. Thanks
Also fails when trying to flash FFU in WP Internals
Nevermind, there was probably some error on my side, restarted phone and PC few times, tried again and again, and it worked after few tries.
Performance?
So what exactly are the performance issues? And which W10M version are you running?
---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------
My L920 has Windows 10 on it (10586 IIRC). To get the latest release on there, what are the steps? Do I need to go back to Windows 8.1? Thanks*in advance for any help.

It could potentially work, I have no clue though for sure. You could give it a try but I don't know what will happen.
