yes. but it only receiver 10512 build. i can't get developer enhancements update :(

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

my phone is Lumia 640. i think get update developer enhancements on w10 10166 better than back to 8.1.
[Windows Phone 8 General] x_orange90_x:
4.4.4 and 5.1? Are you using android?
[Windows Phone 8 General] Windows Blue:
There is a youtube video explaining how to install the software needed to fake the model number of the windows phone:

[Windows Phone 8 General] TrojanWin32:
i rolled back to 8.1 and update to 10166

aow files 114 MB in Phone\Windows\system32\aow

when try to connecting show error 14

fake 1520 on 630
[Windows Phone 8 General] x_orange90_x:
The 630 will not work at this time whether or not you fake the device ids. It is a 512mb device and so far no one has got Astoria working on one.
[Windows Phone 8 General] shubham1358:
Will this Method work if i Update from 10512 to a newer build
[Windows Phone 8 General] Kennyadex:
Does this work for Lumia 640 XL?
[Windows Phone 8 General] x_orange90_x:
It should if you follow instructions for the Lumia 640 LTE.

Edit: If you'd like to be a Guinea pig, install 10536 and see if you get the AOW files and better yet, working Android apps. If you don't then you'll have to roll back to 8.1 anyway to get on the right path.

Build 10536 is out. Anyone update and see improved Android compatibility?
[Windows Phone 8 General] thals1992:
Seems all of my deployed applications are busted. They have a new tool to redeploy for the new build.

Did someone with an unsupported device try to update from WP8.1 to W10M build 10536 with fake device info to see if the aow files would come up?

And is it confirmed that the device info of the lumia 830 works?
[Windows Phone 8 General] NielsVoorn:
Hi,

Can you make a video where you explain every stap?

That would make it a lot easier.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Windows Blue:
I tested my own questions because I was a bit impatient, the answers are yes and yes.

You can upgrade from WP8.1 to W10M build 10536 with fake device info to receive the aow files.

The info from the Lumia 830 works

Hi, I have an ATIV SE and installed TP with fake registry (HTC ONE) but I reverted to 8.1 cause is too buggy on my device and is my main pone, didn't see if AOW files came up will try and see what happen.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Diegaco:
After the update of Extras+Info, I needed to install the registry editor replacing the Preview From Developers app to edit the registry and force the download to a fake Lumia 1520 on my Lumia 532. The system has updated correctly, but the Astoria files don't are downloaded to my phone. I have updated the APKToWin10M with the compatible 10536 version, but I can't autenticate my phone to deploy APK's, I still got the error 14.

Has any thing that I can to do by use the Astoria on my unsupported device?

Lumia 830 issue with updates...

Dear SIrs,

I tried to understan all comments to this topic, but it seems that for me nothing works.

I have a supported Lumia 830. I registered into Insider program, downloaded the relevant app, than install Win10 Insider Preview,

than change the phone into developer mode and enable to find the device, but no "Developer Enhanchement Update"

but I have error 14 (my devices is not supported) but it is a Lumia 830... Do you have any idea?

I really need to install an android app, and now I almost give up

Anyboday any help what should is do?

Thank you very much in advance!

[Windows Phone 8 General] Bnjalal:
OK, just wanted to share my experience, first of all thanks to everyone who contributed in making this work, second of all, please allow me to explain what exactly happened on my side.

My device is nokia lumia 1520, so its supported, followed this thread and another one but error 14/9/13 were all over the place. its a long story (its my fourth try btw) but at the end of the day, you need to upgrade to 10166, to get that I had to sign in with the ((((((slow channel)))))) in windows insider after registering/unlocking my device using windows developer tool sdk 8.1 (or whatever its name was), and that was it.

My mistake was upgrading through the fast channel, my first apk was deployed(wont state the name as it will be a violation in regard to XDA's rules) using APKTOW10M using a/an usb connection. I am not in a hurry in trying each and every apk out there because my other device is a nexus but God how nice, reliable and durable battery life those nokias have. (english is my second language so .......)
[Windows Phone 8 General] bubbleguuum:
Has anyone be able to run Astoria on the Lumia 635 with 1 GB RAM ? It is in the officially supported list, but wconnect always fails with error 14.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Bnjalal:

[Windows Phone 8 General] bubbleguuum:
Thanks for the tip, it works with the slow channel. And it doesn't with the fast one.

[Windows Phone 8 General] sh_cc99:
Doesnt seem to Work on Lumia 640

So, I rolled back to WP8.1

Installed CustomWPSystem

Installed Custom PDF

Changed settings for Lumia 1520

Upgraded directly to Build 10536 using Fast Channel (on th2_release_mob branch)

Checked C:\Windows\system32\aow It is only 150kb (So that means I didn't receive the AOW files)

Tried wconnect.exe and ended up with error code=14

Didn't get Developer Enhancements update.

So it seems like it only works if people jump to 10166 first and then to 10512.

This trick seems to not work on build 10536 from Wp8.1 on LUMIA 640 IN
[Windows Phone 8 General] prasanthmullu:
So it means that i need to change the model info and register to slow ring to get AOW files. Can i get AOW files in fast ring with modification of model details??
[Windows Phone 8 General] MCSPECJAL:
How? Lumia 640 :)
[Windows Phone 8 General] sh_cc99:
First roll back to wp8.1

Deploy Custom WP system

Install Custom PFD using Custom WP system

Change the model name to Lumia 830 as given by the original poster

Install Windows Insider

Switch to Slow channel and install build 10166

Try wconnect!

Works on Lumia 640 DS India
[Windows Phone 8 General] hoola22:
thanks to all. i now have the apps that was keeping me on android running on my lumia 640xl (att)!!!! i followed original post and everything works. all apps but one have converted/transferred successfully . including my favorite ip webcam (for my work) im currently back on the slow build win10 and will be going to the fast build later. Thanks again!!!

ill add this because it was keeping the whole process from working. I misread original post and was only putting the modded pdf xap file on sd card. I didnt set storage to install apps to sd card instead of phone memory and i kept getting errors. so remember to set the phone to install all new apps to sd card. after i did that everything worked perfectly.

Make sure you deploy CustomWPSystem with 8.1 SDK, and NOT 8 SDK.

2. Use CustomPFD version 3, not 5.

Now im on latest build, i guess im stuck waiting for it :(
[Windows Phone 8 General] acewing905:
You need to roll back to Windows Phone 8.1 and then do it there. Otherwise you won't be set to the TH2_RELEASE branch, which is what gets the Astoria subsystem.
[Windows Phone 8 General] mybabysexy:
but [MENTION=6615698]augustinionut[/MENTION] success in changing directly on this build and he got the update. I wonder how to install like him, at least on this 512 build, without rolling back?. I'm using Lumia 525
[Windows Phone 8 General] acewing905:
I'm also on a Lumia 525. It's set to a different branch when you upgrade to 10. (Open Windows Insider app, tap ... then about, to see the current branch.) The only way that worked for me to switch to the proper branch was by rolling back to Windows Phone 8.1.
[Windows Phone 8 General] surya467:
sad, roll back, hack, upgrade again a long long long process :'/, but next build isnt even soon, so i think ill do it

Edit : Ok i tried it on my Lumia 525 with WP8.1, Windows Insider app shows me as WPMAIN branch
[Windows Phone 8 General] codgician:
You could get your previous UI back by resetting your phone.

And Congratulations to you. :)
[Windows Phone 8 General] codgician:
I highly suggest you not to use any GUI version of it because I have never got my phone connected using those tools.

Just use the original wconnect.exe. And I also highly suggest you not to use USB mode, because I have never connected mine successfully via USB.

Check the IP Address of your Windows Phone in the settings page of your router (DHCP Clients) and then use wconnect 192.168.x.x to connect your phone. After the connection is established, use adb -install xx.apk to deploy your app.

You can also use a Chinese site to convert your apk into appx: http://apk.wpxap.com

Wish you good luck.
[Windows Phone 8 General] codgician:
I am not sure this method would work if you try to upgrade from 10166. From my own observation it would not check your device model if you are upgrading from 10166 because my AOW file didn't disappear. If you have time you can try to rollback to 8.1 then modify your device model then upgrade back.

Wish you good luck.

P.S. It's still not very clear whether this method would work 100% on 512 MB device. There are successful cases and failed cases.
[Windows Phone 8 General] codgician:
A way to jailbreak Windows 10 Mobile has been posted at the Development thread. Check it out and see if this method would work from 10166 to 10152.
[Windows Phone 8 General] acewing905:
I tried that first on my Lumia 525. That does not work, because when you come to Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview, you're already placed in a particular branch. Changing registry key afterwards won't help. So going back to 8.1 is necessary so far to get AOW on an officially unsupported device.
[Windows Phone 8 General] codgician:
Thanks a lot for sharing.[emoji1]
[Windows Phone 8 General] acewing905:
Thanks to you, actually. I didn't realize this until you posted this thread.
[Windows Phone 8 General] surya467:
I know about the hack, im getting a branch WPB_CXE_R1 in insider after a critical update from WP8.1

so ill go for 10166 and look for the branch that gives me developer enhancment
[Windows Phone 8 General] acewing905:
That's your current 8.1 branch.

Before you upgrade to 10166, edit the registry as explained in the OP.

Then select fast ring and upgrade to 10166. You should then be in branch TH2_RELEASE, and the AOW files should already be there. No developer enhancements update needed separately. Then upgrade to 10512 if you want. You'll still remain in the same branch, and your AOW files will remain.

[Windows Phone 8 General] x_orange90_x:
I'm using a Lumia 640 LTE with 10512 currently. I haven't changed my registry entries or rolled back yet, but I'm curious now because in Windows Insider app it says I'm in the TH2_RELEASE branch already. When trying to connect with APKtoWin10M I get the Error code 14. Also, when checking for updates it says my phone is already up to date, with or without developer mode on.

Would I still need to roll back to 8.1, or could I do the jailbreak method on my current build and edit the registry to get the Developer enhancements update since I'm already in TH2_RELEASE?
