I tested also the battery with my other s4 and it worked fine.

There is a pict. that showing where I put the firmware file and what option I select

hmm, what is this CSC and Phone slots at odin?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Ok then we can probably rule that out.

Are you using the original cable? Did you try different cables?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichalPlays:
I use always Original Cable and tested with cable from s4, s3, s3neo and htc one x plus and all doesn't work I tryed now the tutorial from this one guy this all was the same :/

btw. can I flash and enter a costum recovery without android on it ??
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Yeah you can do that. Flash the latest TWRP. Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing with Odin.

Hi,

thanks for your work !

If i understand, it's possible to flash your 10.0.10586.107 ROM on Ativ S ?

Is there any known issue to use W10M on Ativ S ? Is it possible to revert back to W8.1 with Odin for example ?

What's the difference between "Based on Product Version (RS)" and "Based on Enginer version (MMC)" ?

Thanks :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
Only known issue on my ATIV S is some reboots (but I had this problem on 8.1 too on w10 mobile these reboots are less than 8.1 for me)

and there's another issue that when I press power key some times the screen don't show anything you have to lock phone again and press power again this time screen appears .

Anyway ,W10M is very nice on W10M trust me ;)

Nice, i will try

So is there an howto to flash that build ? I don't want to make a mistake and brick my phone

Hi Spavlin,

thx for your work but i have some questions for you.

I'm actually on 8.10.14219341 with FW 2424.15.3.2, can i flash directly SPV_W10M_Release_MMC ?

With SMD 3.47, is my config good before starting to flash (see attachment) ?

Yellow folder : SPV_W10M_Release_MMC.wp8

Green folder : SPV_DOC2.mbn

If i want to rollback, i just need to flash back an original rom ?

Thx :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ceesheim:
To answer a few questions here.

Yes you can normally flash the windows10mobile rom using the normal flastool (3.47) (ignore the yellow blocks)

But there are a few things you need to know about that.

Don't ask me about the Samsung IO drivers because they are a pain in the butt ,took me 4 hours to get that to work , the rest is easy like h***

First, after flash your phone will get a blue schreen ☺

Fix is to hard reset the phone using the button combo , but for me that didn't go well.

What did work for me was to but the phone back in download mode and then flash the Storage mode image (this will actually hard reset the phone for you with the gears screen) , at first when you do that don't freak out (flashtool gives connection error, after flashing phone reboots)

Now lots of stuff happens on the screen , ignore that.

Now get yourself a coffee and sit back and wait ☺

After about 10 minutes your phone boots normal and first install starts.

What all works , try it yourself ☺ but for me its running better then WP 8.1. (camera works just normal)

And yes no haptic feedback on the back button and search button
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] xpto225@sapo.pt:
Thank's for your quick response. But my problem is the butom of Bluetooth dont allow me to switch to on . The button is allways dimmed. Even though I try to switch to on they dont allow me. My phone is in Portuguese (Portugal, not Brazilian version). With my first installation of Windows 10 (Buil 10586.218 ) the Bluetooth button allow me to switch to on and off. Thanks.

Yes, they are multilanguage. Buid 10586.218 had problems with batery drain (only one day with very little use). Build 14393.576 is fast and with no problem with battery drain. The only problem I detected is with Bluetooth.

10.0.15025.1001 Fast Ring (NFC bug)

Does that mean the APN & Brightness Bug is fixed with 15025+?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] KalaPocs:
Brightness YES, for some the APN too

but to be honest... on my Ativ S the 15025 resulted in a non responding, black display after 20min. of use. Restarting was the only solution and the upper right sensor was red... so still the best ROM is the Release preview (4me) :)

Thank God still finding some active ATIV S user on the internet, the forum session on WPCentral is almost dead.....:(

I used registry hack to get my ATIV S enjoying W10M and stays in fast ring all the way to 14977, everything was fine except those known issues. Then I updated to 15007 resulted in bootloop and the problem comes....

I rolled back to WP8.1 then hack again but all I can got is 14393.67 no matter which ring I choose nor which lumia model I hacked as (I've tried 640/830/950/550, changing region won't help, neither), I can see newer build and download them but the download speed is really slow (I have good WiFi at my home and my other devices have no problem whatsoever) and it never finish (the "restart" button won't appear). Same slow download also appears in store app with every app update, it takes hours to download just few MBs update file however using edge browsing the net is quite normal in terms of speed. I've tried to rollback again and proceed a reset after I got 14393 and the problem still exist. I have this issue from build to build so I guess if I can update to other build might solve this issue (like the beautiful 14977....miss it).

This build also gives me significant battery drain (I guess from keep trying download thing from the store) so I'm really keen to move away (forward I hope) from it. Anyone get some trick for me or should I just flash the SPVRom for good? Thanks
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] skaarj80:

Hey bro, I just found the solution from a kindly 950 user at WPCentral.

To avoid the problematic 14393.67 build, you have to rollback and start from release ring. Only this way you can get 14393.953 then you switch to fast ring to get following RS2 build, I've got 15063 rs2_release build by this method.

Its very strange why they leave that build in the fast ring.....

Does anyone have camera app with working autofocus? And maps application from old ROM?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Retseem:
I re-surrected my Ativ S again over the weekendand and flashed 10.0.15063.297_MMC.

Couldn't get the RS version to work properly and biggest problem was to find out how to properly flash since there seems no clear step by step instruction, since most people having the AtivS (like me also) don't seem to have English as their first language, but at the end I got a working phone with Windows 10.

I tried to stop windows updates, but still don't know how and in the mean time the phone upgraded itself to version 10.0.15063.414, which still seems to work fine whereas the first time I flashed to Windows 10 the update completely ruined the phone.

I have few questions left:

1. The last step, how exactly to enable mass storage? Did all the flashing stuff as described in the first post I think, but I really don't understand what exactly the following steps are that need to be done. (I can see the whole C: drive via USB via my PC, but not as mass storage and can't see the partition details as in the pictures.)

2. How to easily install a registry editor and where to download it, since until now I didn't find an easy or working solution.?

3. Is there a fix for the Maps App? Since at the highest zoom levels the map quality is terrible and don't show the streets anymore at all. Looks like it tries to render them in the first place, fails and shows the maps from a lower zoom level.

4. Is there a file explorer app so I can browse, manipulate and execute ALL the files on the phone?

And thanks for the great job so far on this ROM.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Retseem:
Solved question 2, questions 1, 3 and 4 still valid. Anyone?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] rmcbarreto:
I have the same problem with the maps app, but I have the original software, no flash rom. I thought it was only my problem... I will do an hard reset and see if it solves.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Retseem:
I had another problem and that is that M$ doesn't support the China Maps anymore for none Chinese users, so with WPTools I changed to the China variant of Map, which also miraculously solved the resolution/detail issue.

When switching back to the normal variant of Maps the issue was back.

Downside is that this also comes with the with a change of the maps provider from China resulting in the already downloaded maps not being recognised anymore so I deleted them and started re-downloading all the maps again, which unfortunately takes ages to get them from China.

If you don't have WPTools installed but you have a registry editor then change the "OEMChinaVariant" registry key in "HKLM\System\Maps" from 0 to 1

Yo have any big problems with buid 10.0.15063.297_MMC. ? I have build 10.0.14393.693 and it works (almost) fine. Is it worth upgrading to build

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Retseem:
I can't tell if it is better than the build you use, since I didn't try that one.

But I have no problems with 10.0.15063.297_MMC which is now upgraded to 10.0.16063.414, all seems to work fine except for the details of the maps with the mapps app, but that I solved by changing to the China variant of maps.

It is running smooth and what I have heard from one of my colleages, who is on the fast ring with his Nokia 950, is that the OS and its functionality is getting better with every new build.
