Curious what the new word is on Windows phones? I have been a MS technician for many years though scared to even attempt using one of their phones ;) I've heard ok stuff about the Nokia 640 LTE and interested in making a purchase soon if it turns out to be a worthwhile investment!!
[Windows Phone 8 General] nartex2:
I love my Lumia 640. Everything just works. Just some apps missing. If you're okay using browser instead of App give it a go. Full day battery, minor lag from general lack of power but fully functional. Best Buy had the ATT version for 11.99 last time I saw them in store. Windows phone is supposedly dead except bug fixes. Camera is okay. I still use mine occasionally when I need more pocket room just swap my SIM out. Wouldn't pay any more than about 30 dollars for one because of the end of life issue. Cheers.

So in relation to flashing, I've flashed quite a lot of RM-1072's at work but we require them to be on Windows 10 rather than Windows 8. Is there any quick way of flashing a Windows 10 ROM onto these phones without having to go through the upgrade advisor? I saw a thread regarding the Astoria build but I don't think it applies to these handsets! I can't find a Win10 .ffu file anywhere for this model. :(

Apologies for being that guy who joins and asks for help, but I'm hoping I've gone about it in the right way.

Lumia 640 XL need help with debrand after Win10 Mobile

I have a Lumia 640 XL unlocked AT&T edition.

I successfully connected to T-Mobile and have been using it on that network for a few years with a Windows 10 Mobile upgrade.

However, recently the AT&T branding and connectivity an speed issues have led me to this thread in an attempt to de-brand this phone and move it to a

T-mobile Rom or the Microsoft Phone Rom that I have been reading about.

My attempt went well in gathering all the tools.

However, when I ran the iutool I ran into this problem.

Upon researching I find that error code result is

This package cannot be installed because a newer version is already installed on the device.

This makes sense because I updated to Windows 10 Mobile via the Insiders Edition.

I have since flashed the stock ROM back onto the phone.

However, there is no advice on how to force the iutool to overwrite this newer version nor how to troubleshoot this error.

I know this phone and this thread are a bit old. However, I would really like to fix this branding issue and access the faster T-mobile band.

Thanks ahead of time.

Well, I cannot get AT&T to unlock through their website. Its been 2 days. I called them and they said its not an AT&T device.

I got this off of Ebay and it had an AT&T card in it . Been using with them for over a year and want to sim unlock it.

Are there any legit places that will do this for less than $10? Less than $20?

Could be a cricket phone.
[Windows Phone 8 General] alan93:
See that's what I'm curious about. AT&T can network a phone that's locked with cricket?

When I had them on the phone they were insinuating I bought it at Best Buy and it was a pre-paid , maybe previous owner had it and didn't finish out a contract or something? Looks like I may have to Ebay it as a locked AT&T phone. AT&T are a bunch of jerks.

Will be with mint mobile after this.
[Windows Phone 8 General] pizzaboy192:
Cricket is owned by AT&T and for a while they were using at&t sims. You could even use the device on at&t without issues since it still talks to at&t towers. Unfortunately there's not really any way to verify between the two. Worth sending a request to cricket and see what happens.
[Windows Phone 8 General] alan93:
UPDATE:

AT&T finally unlocked my phone after I badgered them for a week about it calling about 7 times. Just another reason , on top of their stingy data plan , to not do business with them.

Replying to a seriously old thread. Any chance something similar would work for a 640 XL? Even on the Lumia firmware site, there are no files for the ATT 640XL. :( I wanted to flash my old phone to T-Mobile to have as a backup. LOL. Perfectly working unlocked phone just laying around. Might just use it to stream music while farming I guess...
[Windows Phone 8 General] nartex2:
If it's unlocked will work with T-mobile SIM. I flashed my 640 to T-Mobile just to get rid of ATT locker and other bloated apps. My 640 still works like a charm but it's my backup, backup phone. Good luck I don't know if any ROM repositories are still active for our old Windows phones, I had trouble finding an active one two or three years ago to flash mine. Good luck to you.

Hi, can anybody here help me? Do people here still remenber these tools?

I have a Lumia 1020 with a corrupted boot. A few years back I installed Windows 10 Mobile on it by changing a few registry keys that make it seem like my Lumia 1020 is actually a 950XL. Something like this, using interop tools: https://www.windowsphonearea.com/install-redstone-3-builds-unsupported-windows-phones/

But now my phone bricked itself and is in a constant loop of "Can't find bootable option. Press any key to shut down.". I can't access it, it doesn't start and is always stuck here.

Every time I try to flash anything with WDRT (Windows Device Recovery Tool), WPInternals or thor2 I always get the same error message: signature error and authentication problems. Meaning, the registry values that I once changed are now stopping me from flashing the phone because it is half Lumia 1020 and half Lumia 950.

The processes used here seem to be able to help me. I have already downloaded the OEM tools and installed them: https://xdaforums.com/windows-phone-8/development/tools-wdk-wpak-wpdk-cabs-building-wp8-t3183972

Do you know how to use these steps to maybe help me fix my problem?

The phone rebooted and ran the cogs for ages and then finally rebooted back up to a freshly wiped phone.

Good news is the phone is no longer asking for the long gone Recovery Key to restore it (locked to my Hotmail account but the phone is no longer in my devices) however it is back to a stock ATT phone again and thus shows P6199 ATT 1.1 in Flashtool.

Thanks a lot, I was able to flash to a GB CV rom by doing this so I'm not bound to carrier updates.

Just a heads up here, I've read in some places people choosing the "GLOBAL" roms when flashing, that is not advisable at all. Those roms are almost never updated, on Data Package Manager I checked those and they had the oldest firmware.

Thanks again!
[Windows Phone 8 General] DotBeta:
I flashed 059X227 without any issues and it's running great no hang ups but spent a good 2-3 hours over viewing the thread and making sure i had my ducks in a row.

Question: OP mentions if I ever use WDRT without changing the product code on the phone to the rom I used it will revert it back to the att rom, will that brick the phone? if I don't plan on using WDRT ever do I NEED to change the product code on the phone? Will I still receive updates if i don't change the product code? Or will updates change the phone back if I dont update the phones product code? TBH this is a throw away phone for me and if it were to brick I'd buy another in a minute I just wanna know a little more about any ill effects not changing the product code on the phone will do.

UPDATE:

**** it, changed phone code without incident but I did it after swapping to the AR rom, not before since i did it with WPID. Hope it doesn't mess anything up. I'd still like to know if there are any drawbacks.

thanks.
[Windows Phone 8 General] PepperdotNet:
The product code is simply there for completeness and convenience. If it matches the ROM you installed on the device, you can easily wipe and reload that specific ROM with the WDRT because that's what you changed the product code to.

Using WDRT on an unbranded phone still with AT&T product code will attempt to flash back to the AT&T ROM and fail because of the platform mismatch.
[Windows Phone 8 General] DotBeta:
Thanks for the explanation. :good:

So for anyone that has done this and is using an AT&T SIM... Do you have an AT&T Volte SIM (HD Voice) and will Volte work on the debranded phone?

AT&T sells the 640 XL as a Volte device but keeps the regular 640 locked down to 3G...but they have the radio and both should be able to do Volte, in theory at least.

Downloading the tmobile rom?

I've made it to Step 10 in the guide, and am attempting to download the T-Mobile rom for my 640. I installed the Nokia Data Package Manager, but when launching it I have always received the error "Currently application is not able to work in Online mode." I also tried downloading Navifirm, but as of January 27, it has been forced offline by Nokia (according to the symbian-toys/Navifirm facebook page). So it is not available either.

Can anyone tell me how to get the Nokia Data Package manager to work in online mode? Or, alternatively, some other source to download the firmware?

Uh oh, your 635 now has a 640 platform ID and will only accept 640 roms. You need the correct cab(s) to replace with a 635 platform ID. I don't know how to do that. Good luck, you needed a reason to but a better phone anyway ;)

I Salute You. Unlocked ATT go phone is now unlocked T-Mo with a brief life as an Argentinian L640 in between. Works as expected. I constantly am flashing Android phones, but never had been able to unlock the Lumia. Again much thanks.
[Windows Phone 8 General] madhahatterclb:
Red Screen

So seems I may be the first to screw up the directions. Granted I had been attempting to crack the phone a few months ago, which may have caused some issues with this attempt.

So I got to step 9.g without any issue. But when I ran WPID it didn't show anything. I went back and re-ran step 7 "iutool.exe -p C:\Lumia -V" which gave an error that it was already applied. WPID never listed anything for the Flash-able Devices.

I probably should have stopped, but I decided to keep moving forward even though it was blank. No guts no glory!

I changed the product code using WDRT to TMo US and attempted to flash the TMo US ffu file. It makes it to 3% and then the phone reboots to the red screen. The message from WDRT is:

Exception during programming: 262160

Safe write descriptor index reached: false

Payload data transfer speed (0.19 MB/s) Elapsed time 12.13 sec

programming operation failed!

327681 Error: Unable to send or receive message.

So I changed the product code back to the ATT version and tried applying the ffu file with no luck. I also tried to use WDRT to download and install software to fix the issue but it fails.

If anyone has any suggestions or can point me to a good unbricking guide it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Thomas
[Windows Phone 8 General] evilvoice:
I'm thinking my issue with the phone rebranding is due to a couple of things.

1. I should have gotten the rom from Mr crab and not downloaded one that matched the numbers I was given for which rom I should flash. I made sure it was a 640 rom, but I think it messed something up. Next time, I'll ask to make sure that person means the rom they posted numbers for.

2. Is everyone using the USB cable that came with the phone?

I'm kind of upset over the rom because I searched for the exact one posted for over an hour because it seemed to be newer than crabs. My fault though. As much as I want all bands and WiFi calling, I don't think I'll ever do this again.

[Windows Phone 8 General] anubis23:
This method will only alter the DevicePlatformID of your phone, so that an enduser can flash another carriers rom/firmware to their current lumia 640. This won't SIM UNLOCK your phone, you would need to get a network unlock code. Good thing though is that, ATT provide unlock codes for free, for their att go phones :D
