For people:

in fact I used SMD 3.50 because the 3.54 doesn't have the "Select" in "DL option", just the "All" or "Recover". So if you don't use a CSC (just a WP8), you cannot use the 3.54 release.

ve done the hard reset and works like a charm. Pretty quick too and i have to say i love the resolution and the 5 tiles in the notification centre

Are you able to install .338 in Production Release ring?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
Download is ok but install fails with error 0x8018830f. This error seems to be known on other devices but no solutions.

Perhaps Spavlin will post a new ROM, let's wait ...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] rmcbarreto:
Could someone tell me the difference between MMC, RS, PS and HS? The last two are in the original files folder, but from the first two, I don't know what to download!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
RS is release version, it can be considered as the official build. MMC is a more specific version with more unlocked features but more for developers. If you don't know which ROM you must use, use RS.

Tried last RedStone 14361 update on 318 build and it's now ok ! Reboot loop bug is away !!!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
It's ok but ... after a week-end, a bug appears: my phone can't "hear" me when doing speech-to-text. So, speech-to-text for SMS or Cortana does not work, or only one time after reboot. Cortana can't be used with voice. Perhaps a RedStone bug or an ATIV S firmware lack ...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
I made an hard reset but I didn't have wifi connect to restore my backup ... so I went back to 318 build and now, after hard reset, I can update to build 338 without error.

I will try to come back to RedStone with a correct wifi in order to test if after hard reset, speech to text is ok.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
I came back to RedStone 14361 and made an hard reset with backup restore. My issue is now based on french language pack non downloadable ! This issue seems to be known. I made a switch to English and speech-to-text was ok all the time. So, I'm looking for workaround in order to have language pack installed.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Skyjouby:
Hi Mikol,

I was impossible to download french language for about 2 or 3 weeks. Suddently I tried again and it works... I have no idea why after xx tries and days I managed to download it...

I'm on Spavlin edition and the 10586.420 is downloading while I'm wrinting these lines!

Try to look for update ;)

PS: For me, I have only 2 bug with the Spavlin edition:

- Alarm clock (already knows), but I haven't find time to modify the registry keys...

- Sim Automatic network selection (I can't unselect it...). So every half a day, a day or 2 days, I must put again manually the APN parameters...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
Hi Skyjouby,

hope you're right and language packs will be back. I'm on the RedStone build, not on Release Preview build. Except language pack issue, I have another issue now, I can't deploy XAPs ! So, I can't update registry keys in order to go back to Insider program ! I made hard reset so Samsung registry keys are back and now, I only can go back to spavlin 318 ROM in order to retry RedStone update ...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Skyjouby:
For your trouble, did you go to Settings / Update & Security / For developers ?

You must click on Developer mode to be able to install XAP. Mybe that is the key ?

For everybody, I confirm that Spavlin 318 edition is updatable to 420.

My phone has just finished to reboot and re-install all the app as everytime after an update :cool:
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
Yes I'm in developer mode, my phone is registered for dev. I read that in some case, after hard reset, xap download can be disabled. I will try to come back to release preview. Thanks for your advice.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
My issue is very "strange". Since I made an hard reset on Red Stone 14361 build, I can't upload any XAP. And another strange behavior is that on some setting screens (Windows Insider program) it says "settings managed by your organization" ... but my smartphone is not linked to any organization account ...

So, don't hard reset with redstone 14361 build.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
Finally, I came back to production release (10586.420), make sure that voice and keyboard package is installed and updated to the last 14364 redstone build. And now, everything is ok !

Spavlin made a ROM for RedStone 14364, good news ! Thanks to you.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Skyjouby:
Hi MikolFr,

did you use these parameters to update to Redstone ?

PhoneManufacturer = MicrosoftMDG

PhoneModelName = Lumia 950 XL

PhoneHardwareVariant = RM-1085

?

Regards,

Cyril
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
Yes, and PhoneManufacturerModelName to RM-1085
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Skyjouby:
Here is my first feedback:

Redstone is really better than before, however:

- even if it is smooth, it is not as smooth as the TH2 .420,

- the font size is a bit bigger everywhere,

- the screen rotation seems not to be working ...

Waiting for a week of use to go deeper with this update.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
For the font size, perhaps it's a side-effect of being "Lumiax 950 XL". Let's go to screen settings and reduce font size to 200%.

On my side, screen rotation is ok. But perhaps it's linked to font size, when set to more than 200%, some strange display appears.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
Settings locked by organization (RedStone build)

Hi,

I'm on RedStone build 14364 (I was on 10586.420 and made update with Lumia 950 XL registry hack) and when I go to update settings, for developer settings or Windows Insider program, settings are locked with the following message: "some settings are defined by your organization, group policies apply". But my phone is not connected to any organization, it's my personal phone.

Does anyone know how to disable this "organization" setting ?!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
RedStone or not

Hi,

did you see the first page of this topic ... seems that Spavlin has issues with last RedStone build. One day build is there, one day it disappears.

On my side, I upgraded manually from 10586.420. Everything seems ok except some settings locked.

Do you have issues on RedStone build Spavlin ?!

Hope you will win.

Thanks for you job.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Skyjouby:
Hi Miko,

Here is my second ,feedback:

Redstone is really better than before, however:

- even if it is smooth, it is not as smooth as the TH2 .420. Update: with a moment of use, it is clear that TH2 is really smoother. With TH 2, the mobile is daily usable as a new mobile. With RS, you have an old mobile, a bit laggy for moment.

- the font size is a bit bigger everywhere, Update: In fact, it is not font size: Everything is bigger: Tiles, menu, ...

- the screen rotation seems not to be working ... update: I have still found no solution

- The operator network is "automatically" selected and it is not possible to unselect the option . => Each time the mobile is soft reseted or with low signal, it searchs a best network and the parameters are erased. You have to write it again manually, really boring after a couple of days...

By now, I'm thinking to go back to TH2 420 which is clearly the best Ativ Rom for the moment and for a while!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
Hi,

you're not lucky with RedStone build. On my side, it's more positive.

Smoother (perhaps a little bit thant TH2 but it does not disturb me)

No render size issues, perhaps it's linked to the fact that I went from TH2, hacked registry to be Lumiax 950 XL, Insider reboot, size update on settings

no issues with screen rotation, it's ok such as TH2

no issues with network

Perhaps you could try an hard reset when on RedStone ? Or if you went from Spavlin ROM, try to go to RedStone from TH2.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Skyjouby:
Hi,

i wen't back to WP8.1 and updated with 15.3.2 Samsung firmware.

Once OK, I updated with Spavlin Rom TH2 420.

Once OK, I installed RS Slow ring.

Now, everything is ok:

-screen rotation,

-not as smooth as th2 but really near,

-network is ok,

-nice display

Have a nice week-end
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
Hi,

it's a good news ! Sorry, I didn't think to firmware related issues ... I'm with the 15.3.2 firmware since a long time.

Now, you have the last RedStone build. On my side, I'm with the 14364 build but I have two issues, do you have the same ?

automatic screen light does not work and with the lower level of light, screen is completely black !

I can't update anymore because it says that I have organizational settings and I can't decide if update can be applied

Thanks.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Skyjouby:
I was already on 15.3.2 firmware, but maybe it was corrupted ? I don't know, sometime it is good to begin again for the beginning :)

- for the screelight, yep same bug here

- for the update , I don't know as I updated this timefor 420 in slow ring, so for the moment, I'm still in 14372.

I encounter trouble to download French voice and french keyboard, I will wait 2 days, last time it was lotery, why not this time :)

Hi Spavlin,

what did you fix in the last update 420 ?

- Auto birgtness bug ?

- Alarm Clock bug ? ( I tied the key reg tip, but nothing is changed... with the previous 420).

- keyboard and voice download bug ?

- others ?

For everybody, Spavlin has released directly an RS Rom.

Really thank you Spavlin :cowboy::fingers-crossed::good:
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MikolFr:
Hi,

good news for new ROM !

For french settings, on my side, I had to download them from 10586.420 (voice and keyboard package) before RedStone. Last time, from RedStone, it was not possible to download them (but it's a known issue, perhaps it will be fixed or you will have to wait a few days)

Thanks to spavlin, nice to have our "old" Samsung ATIV S always at the latest version without major issues !
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] lukas_ita:
Hi guys. I am on .420. Does wifi hotspot work for you?

PhoneManufacturerModelName to RM-1085

I'll try to test it today ;)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GodlikePL:
Okay my experiences:

Instalation is flawless but there are no instructions:

USE SMD 3.47 BECAUSE IN 3.54 YOU CAN'T SELECT CSC FILE!

Select WP8 file

Select Doc2 CSC file

Flash

Hardware hard reset after bootloop and logo stuck

ROM:

Works good

Windows 10 mobile apps are working

Games and apps not available on WP8 because of WM10 only release WORKS

Edge is much faster than IE

GPU acceleration seems to be working as games are playable

Battery usage is acceptable

Bugs:

DPI seems to revert to default value after some time, need to get DPI registry key and force it, don't know which key is it?

Front keys are not vibrating when touch (drivers problem probably)

Store application just sucks but it's probably RS1 issue

Custom languages keyboard download does not work

Screen turns off completely if you set brightness too low (may be fixable with http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65400441&postcount=390)

You need to remember that Ativ s has ancient Adreno 225 GPU and Qualcomm MSM 1.5 GHz dual core CPU. It is not comparable in speed to Windows 10 released phones.

SOMEONE WITH MMC DUMP C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/CONFIG PLEASE. REGISTRY HIVES ARE THERE, RESTRICTED ACCESS!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] TheVarsek:
Hi everybody, my first post here. I also wrote this on the Windows Central blog, so if you read a duplicate I'm sorry :)

I've had my Ativ S for a very long time and finally I've found a nice blog with people keeping it up to date as I do :)

Just wanted to share my experience: less than a month ago I updated to Redstone using the Lumia 635 credentials (hacking the registry). It did not went well. Long story short: the brightness control completely made it unusable, turning off the screen with no way to recover it if not with a hard reset. The hard reset however brought all kinds of problems, I could not sign in with my microsoft account, so no app to download etc. etc.. I had to completely reset the phone, force the installation of a windows phone 8 rom to recover it and do everything again. I think I have spavlin's rom (I'm not sure to be honest), however it appears like I cannot receive sms for some reason (but I can send them fine).

I was wondering if anyone installed the latest redstone, apparently it's very good, and I'd like to know if someone tried adjusting the brightness (lol). Moreover: do you think that the brightness problem was because I faked being a Lumia 635 that uses a different kind of screen? If so what should we use to update to Redstone? 920/925 seem to have the closes specs to us, resolution and AMOLED screen included, not to mention the processor.

On a final note I always updated to insider just changing the phone manufacturer and not the model name etc (apart when I wanted to try redstone of course) and everything always went smooth. Maybe doing the same again for redston will not mess up with the optimizations of the os, wouldn't it?

Cheers
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Skyjouby:
No problem fo me in RS 372 ;)

Did you try to go back to 8.1, update with samsung firmware?

I think you should to this to recover a safe base. Once you are with it, flash with Spavlin rom, it should be OK ;)

1. No vibration on front keys when enable haptic feedback.

2. Windows 10 Pro x64? not detecting the phone (as mass storage) when connecting to USB.

3. Default camera! No auto focus!

4. I'm sorry, really sorry, your boot screen logo sucks (please make it to Microsoft logo?), your "About > Service provider" also sucks! Please remove it, i cant stand it!, I'M SORRY! DON'T GET ME WRONG, i appreciate your hard work!

5. Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.0 < --- Why?

Hi [MENTION=662217]Skyjouby[/MENTION], TQ for your reply!

For number 2: Solved! TQ!

For number 3: Will try, TQ!

For number 5: Copy that, TQ!

For number 6: Will try, TQ!

Under SPVRom, did you guys get the latest July 12, 2016 — KB3172985 (OS Build 10586.494) update? But if i proceed, got this error (0x80091007), any comment?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] TheVarsek:
I had an error too trying to update to the .494. In the end I think it was because of the region/language change I did in the past few days from Italian to English. After switching back to Italian and changing the Manufacturer name to NOKIA with the registry hack it downloaded and installed the update with no issues (of course I tried to change the manufacturer name while having the phone re-localized in the UK as well, but it still gave me an error while trying to installing the update).

For everyone who is wondering: the build works very well, no noticeable differences from the last one for what I'm concerned. Battery life is still very good with a brand new battery on my Samsung Ativ S (16hrs with intensive usage)

Whether to do the firmware dual boot (8.1 + 10) ???
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Mattemoller90:
If you do a dual boot firmware you are SUPER MAN :)

Or maybe it is enough to have a instruction tu put 2nd OS on SD card and a modified Boot Loader to chose it, if for you is more simple
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Ezio21:
HiNo need for dual boot spavlin. Better take your time and polish wm10 redstone when rtm will come. Every friend of mine now is on your 10586. Thanks for the rom. You rock man!

Stay on th2. Rs is unstable
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Mattemoller90:
Dual Boot

In my opinion the dual boot WP8.1+WM10 is the best way, because WM10 on Ativ S have same problem, (camera and battery) but at the same time have more app and function.

For example:

-	if you are at home and work (normal day) you can use WM 10 with more app and more function

-	If you are on travel (holiday etc..) you can use WP 8.1 for have more battery and better photo

This is only my opinion, after all with dual boot we can enjoy to do same of different 

Windows Phone with a Dual Boot is not very common  and have the freedom to choose is veryyyy good
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] TheVarsek:
I thought I'd write about my experience with RS so far. I've updated to the last 14393.5 on my Ativ S. Everything works perfectly, I haven't tried the luminosity yet. It's very snappy, the battery seems the same of .494 on 10586 (which was great), unless you use Edge and whatsapp, which seem to have a little bit of battery drain. My only problem with it is one app in the notification section which I cannot recognise (it's a string of numbers), probably being an app ported since 8.1 which is not compatible with rs. I hope it won't give any problem. I also have the weather app not working. I think I could fix that with a hard reset, but I'm scared to do that since my last experience. I have a backup this time, but I would like to wait for another release of the os and see if it fixes itself with an update rather than doing that. To your knowledge, does a hard reset and backup reinstallation reinstall also costumPFD etc for thweaking the registry? Anyways it runs great, non-supported my ***!!! If only samsung were to work with MS a little bit more we could still have a nice phone which works great with W10M.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] PanCerveny:
TheVarsek: That is great news. I was worried that the current branch was the last (mainly given the information people shared in this thread) but if it is usable then that's great. Unfortunately Edge is the only usable browser - at least in my experience. The best was UC but then started crashing (long time ago, it's not modern development).

Mattemoller90: Well, it's good to know I am not the only one who think that the camera is little worse than in 8.1. I wasn't sure as back when I got the Ativ S the jump in quality was so huge that I thought it was great but now I have seen many (current) phones so it was unclear if my memory is not pink tinted. Well, it is still usable as copy machine which is what I use it for most but the next time I will be shooting photos in supermarket I will make sure I have readable prices/description before moving on.

spavlin: I don't think that dual boot is exactly necessary. Sure it would be good but to me it seems that the amount of work you would have to put into this is not reasonable.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] spavlin:
There are difficulties with the creation of the firmware with the changed sections of the disc, as a result - is delayed.

My version (> 05.2016) have modified file Adapting camera

which undoubtedly affects the quality of images.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MegaDragon998:
Hey Spavlin,

First of all thank you for all the work you have done for our phone! I really appreciate yourself giving all for this amazing device :) I have some questions tho

1)Edit: Answered :)

2)Is the brightness bug fixable at all?

3)I have never thought about dual booting ROMs on our phone, but sure, why not? I agree with some that it's amazing idea but on the other hand im worried about the work needed to be done :-/

Thanks in advance,

no insider options available

hi,

today i installed the redstone build and it works great for the moment.

but i have only a problem, when i went to the insider options the field is disabled.

like this

http://www.nokiapoweruser.com/new-w...vel-disabled-error-is-fixed-build-14342-1004/

i cant installed a new version from the insider ring so i stay on the 10.0.14379.0

is there a solution for this problem, but i think next week i can updated to the normal version without insider app.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] TheVarsek:
Is your phone still hacked to show up as Lumia 950XL/640? If not, maybe that's why, so you can hack it back to be one of those, reboot and see if it works. Otherwise you can try a hard reset, or go back to w10m and try again!
