Hi there!

Thanks for the instructions.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, Following this guide since the OG post is incomplete

After installing the patched image in step 2, I selected turn off PC and turn it on again to restart. The tablet shows the boot screen and a Configuring progress, but after showing 100% it gives me a black screen instead of going to Windows setup (the tablet was still on since the Windows button responds). I tried shutting it off since I thought that it got stuck, and now it doesnt turn on again. Not sure what to do next, and I hope that I did not just bricked my Surface.

I did not enable backup recovery partition btw

Hi!

First of all, awesome tutorial! I followed all the steps as on here and managed to install windows RT successfully. I am however having some issues running the APPX1/APPXBundle scripts. I get the same error as someone showed earlier where the deployment of the package fails due to error 0x80073CF0. According to microsoft this error is caused by one of the following issues (link):

The package is unsigned.

The publisher name doesn't match the signing certificate subject.

The file:// prefix is missing or the package couldn't be found at the specified location.

I tried to work around this issue by moving the files to other folders and also running only the APPXBundle script without the other files present but that didn't work either. I tried to google for some solutions but could not really find much... Any suggestions? Or is the best way to simply reinstall the windows 10 image and try again?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi all...

I have a problem

I try to recover my surfaceRT to win8.1, but...

From the USB drive, it boots fully into recovery and I can go through any of the options. If I choose to reset it, create new partitions, and clean drive, it shows 1%, 2%, 56%, then shows the message that it was unable to be reset.

Enter Diskpart

Sel Disk

Sel Part 4

List Vol

Show volume as unknown

Try to format it

format fs=ntfs override

But it ends 100% converts it to RAW ...

Windows no longer starts

Please if someone can help me figure it out ...

thanks...

Hi Guys, I'm having real issues just trying to use this device as a simple home automation touch screen via the web browser, and that being the problem, the web browser is shiet.

Are there any alternative web browsers for the surface 2 RT?

Also, with the bootloader now being unlocked, is a ARM version of Ubuntu or lubuntu or any alternative OS am option even debain? Raspbian even?

Thanks!
[Windows RT General] deanfourie:
Clean the disk first.

diskpart

Sell disk 0

Clean

Create partition primary

Format quick fs=ntfs

Also, what I ran into was the new partition has to be c:, make sure your USB drive doesn't mount as C. What I did was once booted into recovery and loaded diskpart, remove your recovery media while cleaning and repartitioning the drive,l. If your USB drive mounts as C and you delete the windows partition and create a new one, it can mount as E for example. You need to avoid this. This happened to me. Do your diskpart partitioning without your recovery media in. Then reboot with it in and run the reset.

I got Windows Build 15035 working but something changed and I'm unable to reach the firmware.

[Windows RT General] Rixius:
[Solved] [1 Very Valid Solution]

Okay guys, I fixed my issue way beyond what I had intended. I just wound up purchasing a pro version of Windows 10 for my main pc on G2A for 30 bucks and I enabled remote desktop. I also installed the Windows 8.1 RT on the Open Surface RT website following the guides on this website and on that one to install the OS.

Then I just followed the guides on YouTube to access Remote Desktop; this one in particular:

Remote desktop to surface RT works like a ****in' charm. It's like that NVIDIA remote play thing where you can use high-quality resources from remote GPUs on your ****ty laptop. It's actually amazing. Chrome and YouTube run like a charm, I think I can run anything using Remote Desktop. Thank the lords *pray symbol*.

If you run into the same problems I did, here is a way to save yourself some time :D have fun!

Note: You will not be able to use your main PC while you are tethered to it via remote desktop. You might be able to work around this, but I haven't put any work in figuring this out so be warned!

[Windows RT General] GadgetStrutter:
Sup jmaroto!

First you need to open Microsoft Store.

Find the app that you want, Click Share, then click on the Cortana option (I think).

NOW YOU NEED TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION FAST. I recommend having your phone out for this one, because you need to snap a photo of the Microsoft store link that appears (or just the Product ID really).

Once picture is taken, using your Surface Tablet go to this site:

Microsoft Store - Generation Project (v1.2.3) [by @rgadguard & mkuba50]

Online link generator for Microsoft Store. You can use it to get links to almost all apps, games, themes from the Microsoft Store.

store.rg-adguard.net

Choose either URL or Product ID. (I use Product ID)

Type the URL or Product Key from the picture you took with your phone.

Look for and download the ARM or Neutral version of the app that you want, and it must be appx or appxbundle filetype.

Note: Not all apps will work. Some have dependencies, you need more frameworks. Just keep building. I'm sure the bottom appx and appxbundles are important.

Hint: if you need an RAR or 7z extractor tool search for the 9-Zip app on Microsoft Store and try what I just told you.

(I'm sure you need a 7z extractor to install Microsoft Office 2013 from Alexenfermans Extra list)

Hi all, cross posting from the other article:

Hi all... I have to just confirm with a few others, after the effort to successfully get this Win 10 RT build running on my Surface RT (1) with the Store and Netflix, etc. installed. The graphics drivers and overall slow performance of this old build of 10 offer few if any advantages vs. sticking with 8.1 RT. I liked the idea of having at least the first generation Edge browser with HTML5, and running jailbroke apps, but in the end the browser is limited as it's so out of date now (and that version of Edge is legacy) and the slowness. Has anyone came across any updates to at least the graphics drivers to help performance?

[Windows RT General] alexenferman:
AFTER YOU MAKE SURE YOU SEE THE SECUREBOOT DISABLED FLAG IN THE COMMAND PROMPT RECOVERY ON THE DEVICE (NOT THE USB RECOVERY), you can format the drive using all of theese commands. Otherwise, DO NOT DEPLOY THE W10 IMAGE BECAUSE YOUR SURFACE MIGHT NEVER BOOT :(

What happens is that the USB flashdrive has different drive letters and are not the same. Also, I do not encourage people to use premade batch files to automate the process. You do not know exactly what can happen and by typing the commands yourself, you know what you type. So here are all of the commands to deploy the windows 10 system:

1. ###Formatting the C: Drive###

Enter diskpart . . . . . #Enters diskpart

lis dis . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #This shows all of the drives available

sel dis 0 . . . . . . . . . . . .#This selects the Default harddrive

lis par . . . . . . . . . . . . . .#This shows all of your partitions

sel par 4 . . . . . . . . . . . #This selects the partition 4

for quick fs = ntfs override . . . . . #This formats the drive

exit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #Exits Diskpart

2. ###Installing Windows 10###

dism /apply-image /imagefile:d:\install.wim /applydir:c: /index: 1

Exactly which wim do I use?

The one in SurfaceRT\Win10_WIM\Surface_1\Chinese_assembly ?

and then just rename it to install.wim? I did that and cannot boot.
[Windows RT General] racer1309:
There is a very important step that is missing on Step 3. From the original Chinese page (https://m.ithome.com/html/469731.htm), and that is that you must mount the EFI partition. You then have to extract the contents of the EFI.zip from the "Tools_for_Installation_W10" Folder into that mounted drive.

That is never mentioned in the instructions and that is why I, along with several of you, kept getting the error when using the command:

bcdedit /set {default} testsigning on && bcdedit /set {bootmgr} testsigning on

1. Mount the EFI partition first. Open a command prompt and enter: mountvol s: / s

2. Follow the steps above to close the registry mount, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ BCD00000000, click on File-Uninstall Hive

3. Delete all files in the S partition (ie EFI partition) (please back up before deleting), extract and paste the EFI.zip in the software tool to the S partition 4. Restart the computer, some devices will not enter the system, please follow The above method is restored to 8.1.

5. After entering the system, execute again

bcdedit / set {default} testsigning on && bcdedit / set {bootmgr} testsigning on

After the above error is reported, enter the recovery command prompt mode, check the lower right corner to indicate that secureboot is not configured correctly and it is successful.

Hope that helps someone!

*Edit* Just added the driver for the Bluetooth some of you were missing.
