My Lumia 625

Hi, I hope this thread is still active; I had an old Lumia 625 that was lying around; I followed the steps to the letter. However, after I ran the LK Bootloader Installer ... which finished correctly, I heard my phone disconnect and reconnect, and then all I got was "unknown device" in This PC, and when I open it, there is an empty folder called TWRP.

The screen is blank and non-responsive; and I can't seem to be able to do much. Rebooting it again using power+down seems to set it back into flash mode, and I tried again to run the same LK Bootloader, but I ended up with the same results. Not sure what am I missing ? Do I need to install the aboot_20161002.mbn file in the extra folder ? (there wasn't any instructions on how to do that)

Hopefully there is an easy fix for this.

P.S. I have tried several times to backup the phone before i started using Win32DiskImager but it kept crashing; so I used the WPInternal tool to make a backup (I hope that will work too) - I couldn't find in WPINternals how to restore the backup though.

The 625 was able to boot TWRP previously but the screen backlight doesn't work.

Well i got till the uefi2lk installation on my 520, everything went smooth till then but after it booted into twrp. it seemed that the digitizer wasnt working so i installed the original digitizer and tried starting the phone. but it didnt turn on and was just vibrating for a short time and then it was completely dead...

Anyone seems to know what the problem is?.

also i cant find the key combination which is used to boot into twrp

PLEASE HELP
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TBM 13:
The phone is probably in fastboot mode, which is normal. Connect the phone to the pc and execute this command to go to TWRP: fastboot oem reboot-recovery

(or just remove and reinsert the battery, and press the volume up and power keys for about 10 seconds)
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AlvinDmello:
Okay.. got it to show the nokia logo after trying both the fastboot and the key combo but it's bootlooping from there.. I think there's no charge in my battery?

I can try flashing the file with the help of adb..

Should I try that?

The device is showing up in fastboot
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AlvinDmello:
Update : got in twrp... Charged the battery using the WIRES.. ok now it just vibrates when I try to swipe to allow mods..does not seem to do anything else.

But I got into twrp

GUYS I GOT IT!.. the touch issue was the digitiser not working.. I found out that the one which I had wasn't OG. but after installing the kernel and everything else.. it seems to install and work GREATER THAN EVER!. I also revived my friend's 525, it was stuck in fastboot too. A Big thanks to TBM 13 and all the others!

I have a Lumia 535, any pointers on how to make it supported? I have only gotten Android working on a 525 previously.
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Ummm 535 have smapdragon 200 but 525 has the chipset

Qualcomm MSM8227

so can be quite difficult to port.

[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Djiban:
Hi

My 520 has Samsung EMMC chip, so it's risky to install.

Did anyone tried yet here?
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
No. It is incompatible with Samsung EMMC according to my recent research. I might be wrong though.
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AlvinDmello:
I have Tried and successfully installed Android4Lumia on my 520 with EMMC... the whole progress is same, idk if i got lucky or if it was supposed to be like that. but i basically installed A4L on my EMMC equipped lumia 520, it works fine and have had no problems by far...
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
hmmm so it is possible?
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AlvinDmello:
It depends on how the process goes, on mine it went super smooth... i encountered no errors, but in your case it might be different, if u wanna risk it then go for it. but if u wanna play safe don't do it. its better to have something than nothing...
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Djiban:
You talk about emmc, but the question is about SAMSUNG emmc!

Moreover it is possible with Samsung's ones. But risky!
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AlvinDmello:
wait wut?

i dont think that wpinternals would be wrong about the samsung chip in the info...

moreover ive only seen hynix and samsung in these lumias, i dont think that there is any other vendor out there that makes the chips for THESE SPECIFIC models... ive seen toshiba in the higher 1520 models.

most rare ones are the micron chips...ive only seen 1 lumia that had that chip.

also, another thing i've seen is the problems with the drivers... not having proper drivers also results in failures, so have a check on that too
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Djiban:
I'm just rotting the dev warnings about this chip vendor for emmc, and porting android on them. There must be thread about this precise issue, I didn't follow them. Fell free to look for them.

Anyways dev recommand not to go on with installation of your emmc is from Samsung, that is clear for them. But you can always try, but do know that you can hard brick your phone
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Djiban:
"Do not install this ROM on devices with a Samsung eMMC (flash memory chip)! These chips are known for getting either partially or fully write protected when you do this kind of stuff. While you still *can*, there's an high chance the eMMC will go write protected either during the process or even after. If you still chose to take the risk and your device is dead, don't blame it on us, this warning here and the one on the video are there for a reason!"

Audio over headphones works for me. Lineageos 13, lumia 620 rm846. Accelerometer and camera don't work because the lack of drivers or some bad config?

Very nice work! Thanks!

Nice thread, good to see android being ported to EOL windows phones, saves phones from trash.

Though I don't have a Lumia, how do you guys identify the type of EMMC on the chip? By dissecting the phone to it's motherboard and looking at the words on the EMMC?
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TBM 13:
Windows Phone Internals tells you the type of EMMC your phone has
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] FGMareil:
Very useful thread . I've tried to install Android on an old Lumia 620 . Things went smoothly .... up to running uefi2lk . A couple of messages showed up on the screen and then things stopped and the corresponding window closed on my PC . Since then good old Lumia looks like dead ; the only positive sign is that it vibrates when I release power button after having pressed Vol - and Power buttons for 15 sec.

I've tried to "rerun" uefi2lk without sucess . Any hope or should I just throw Lumia 620 in the trash ?

Thks in advance
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AlvinDmello:
Try This:

The phone is probably in fastboot mode, which is normal. Connect the phone to the pc and execute this command to go to TWRP: fastboot oem reboot-recovery

(or just remove and reinsert the battery, and press the volume up and power keys for about 10 seconds)
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] FGMareil:
Thks for answering . Unfortunately neither works . The cmd line is not an option as my device, while connected, is never recognized by my PC thus making impossible to send cmd lines ...
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LR7875:
Are you sure you don't have a Samsung emmc( the bootloader unlocking process would tell you)
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] FGMareil:
It was Toshiba
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mhatreudu:
try running uefi2lk from command prompt.If necessary try detecting the phone through windows phone internals utility and again rerun uefi2lk.If it vibrates then it is alive.If the EMMC is of samsung then it may give some error otherwise load TWRP as soon as it boots when unrooted
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] FGMareil:
Thks for replying.

The problem is that my Lumia 620 isn't detected by my PC . If I go to device manager I see a Android device whose driver isn't installed .... I guess this is the first thing to solve . I have noy idea how to overcome this ....
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mhatreudu:
In that case check the usb driver for lumia620 and install appropriately from control panel ->devices.My lumia720 was updated successfully to android and working great .check for lumia620 specific information on usb driver.
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] FGMareil:
Thks for your time. I may look stupid but how do I find the appropriate driver ? I've tried Nokia PC Suite but here again the phone is not recognized althought it's connected with a cable to the PC.

I've no idea regarding where to find the appropriate driver ....
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mhatreudu:
what I can say from here is you need to search for Android device driver.comes along with adb(bridge) many times.install windows device recovery tool.many things to try like command line ' thor' for detecting the mobile if not detected by wdrt.

I installed Lineage OS 14.1 on Lumia 520 RM-914, but during flashing Lineage i got errors about patching.

Everything works fine: wi-fi, bluetooth except SIM Cellular data (NO SERVICE) and RADIO.

How can i enable CELLULAR SIM CARD?
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TBM 13:
You can't. It doesn't work.
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LR7875:
1. It is a bug. Not fixed, at least yet.

2. Lumia 520 is a 3G phone. 3G will soon if not already been discontinued, so even if it is fixed and works, yes but actually no.

3. Still a nice music player though, use it like an iPod touch.

It is possible to install this on a Nokia Lumia 830? I have that phone without any use and it would be nice to give it a second chance with android
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] beardwhiskers:
I thought I would register on this forum and thank the contributors. Thanks!

I spent 3 days reading dozens of posts on how to convert my old Lumia 521 Windows 8.1 phone (aka Fame) to Android 7.1 Nougat using Lineage 14.1 OS distribution. Sam's 33 minute how-to video was very helpful.

I had no difficulty with the Windows Phone Internals hacking software to unlock my bootloader. When running the LK installer in Fastboot, it was mostly successful, except for the part where the filesystems are formatted (cache, data, and system).

As a result, when I ADB sideloaded Lineage 14.1 OS (after installing drivers for ADB to work on my Windows 10 PC), it wasn't fully successful. Upon Android system startup, I got a message that decryption was unsuccessful, after a login password step.

After trying several things, I discovered another XDA post saying that if this happens, use the Format feature in the TWRP recovery tool. This finally unencrypted the filesystem and formatted successfully. I then went back to ADB sideload and reflashed the Lineage 14.1 OS successfully.

On my phone, the following work: WiFi, internet browsing, email, file management, clock features, microSD card mounting, FM radio, MP3 music playback, headphones, autorotate, photo viewing, and power management.

What doesn't work (as expected): Camera, SIM card support, voice calls, and text messaging.

I haven't tested Bluetooth yet, but it's supposed to work, as well. I used a microSD card to transfer 1 GB of music files and a few photos over to the internal filesystem.

The Lineage 14.1 OS is normally very stable. When I installed F-Droid app, the Update Repository feature uses enough resources to crash just before completion. But I can access F-Droid website with the browser and download apps just fine.

It's great to be able to repurpose my old Lumia phone and have some fun with it. Thanks again to all of the contributors who put in countless hours on developing all of the firmware hacks and ROM.

Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, I used to dabble in Linux OS installs on some desktop PCs. I remember how time consuming that was, with many iterations needed to compile an OS kernel that handled all of the rudimentary OS features. So, this little phone repurposing project was a small reminder of those good old days! :)

My Lumia 520 doesn't work anymore all it does is show up as Android on my computer I did take a backup
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] beardwhiskers:
I just tested Bluetooth, and it works. I connected and paired to my car's JVC stereo receiver and played a music file over the car stereo speakers.

The only main oddity right now is the power button on the phone. It works fine to turn the screen back on when it is in power saving mode. If I use the power button to turn off or restart the phone, it powers off (no restart).

Then, when I press the power button to power ON, it doesn't restart Android OS. To get the OS to successfully restart, I have to remove the backplate, temporarily disconnect the battery, reinstall battery and backplate, and then connect the wired power adapter to a plug outlet to charge the battery more (it wasn't low) while triggering system restart. Any other approach without the wired power adapter doesn't successfully restart the Android OS.

So, on my Lumia 521, the best choice is to only use the power button to turn the touchscreen back on when it is in power saving mode. Don't use the power button to power off the phone (or attempt restart). Just leave the phone in standby mode when not actively using it. It'll fully discharge the battery eventually and require the wired power adapter to restart and recharge the phone...

So, a bit of an oddity but tolerable...

Did you ever get Lineage 14.1 successfully installed? When did your phone stop working?
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] autisteck:
During the lk bootloader install
[Nokia Lumia 520 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] beardwhiskers:
Did you receive fastboot errors on the 3 filesystem format commands (system, cache, and data)? I did, which is the topic of my post earlier today.

After I downloaded and installed an Android ADB driver for my Windows 10 PC (Universal ADB Driver.msi), I could sideload the Lineage 14.1 zip file. However, because the 3 filesystem format commands were unsuccessful, due to the filesystem still being encrypted, I had to follow the extra procedure outlined in my earlier post.

You may be experiencing the same issue I had... For Step #1, I used the newest version of Windows Phone Internals (v. 2.9) to unlock the bootloader. I don't know if that version had some small difference between it and the earlier versions others used when unlocking the bootloader and subsequently flashing the Lineage OS. Maybe that's why the 3 format commands in the LK install were unsuccessful?

Since the 1st part of LK install was successful, I created a copy of it and deleted the 3 command lines that start with "%thor% - mode" and ran this copy of LK last part installer after I successfully formatted the filesystem using the TWRP recovery tool...

Hopefully that helps...

I switched to Verizon on my OP6T about 2 weeks ago. I've never had this issue before, but it is quite strange. About the device configuration:

Stock Rom

Magisk installed

Using Google Messages, but can re-create the issue in the stock Messaging app

There is one particular person that I cannot seem to send or receive text messages with. Note that initially, after moving to Verizon, I was able to. But then it just stopped working. Whenever I try to send a message, I just get an error message back saying "Not Sent. Tap to try again". Any new messages or retries fail immediately.

This is the only contact I have had issues with, and I can send and receive messages if they are in a group.

I have also tried clearing the cache and data for both Google Messages and the default Message app, as well as removing that message thread.

Any ideas about logs stored somewhere where I could get a better handle on what is causing this issue?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Scott:
Are they blocking your text messages (in error or on purpose)? I would look there first. If you say no then we can go from there.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] bladestonez:
Never had this issue with Verizon. I had cricket for a while and both my old phone and the 6t could not send SMS to my brother, I could send mms and call and received everything fine. It was an intermittent issue where I would call support every couple weeks it would be fixed then randomly happen again. This was a contributing factor in my carrier switch lol.

Hi, I currently own my Moto G4 Plus with the locked Google account.

I think that because it is blocked I can not connect will usb actually generates errors when I try.

My idea: Download a custom ROM, and use the "Apply Update from SD Card" option in default Recovery.

However, this option will not reset and clean the system, causing the "Apply Update from SD Card" option to install a new "ROM" system right?

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Satyam_Mishra:
Hey!!! Calm down man, the thing u r talkin' about is nearly impossible, stock recovery with locked bootloader...

Before sharing some idea, first search about it on google and try to learn..

Locked bootloader means, whatever is in your Phone (Ur phone consist of several partitions containing data to make phone boot and use, also a partition to store data) must be signed with a key from OEM..

Plus, stock recovery... It can apply update from only those zips which are signed by OEM, any breakage to that signature results in OTA fail...

Plus, custom rom uses either no signature or custom signature

Its been going on for a few weeks now. Everytime I try to get on a public wifi, my wifi settings says its connected, but nothing loads. I was under the impression that since its the same hotspots I try most of the days(train station), maybe they're dead hotspots.

TIL that if you go to any non-https page. like example.com, or 8.8.8.8 it loads the login page.

But does anybody know why the phone stopped going to the login pages?

Things I tried already:

Restarted the phone

Forget the wifi accesspoint and try reconnecting
