thank you so much! im at work right now but when i get home i will definitely try this and let you know how it goes. i ended up getting a surface pro 4 for very cheap on ebay even tho it has a cracked screen everything works great and i cant even see the cracks with the screen on. paid alil under $100 for it. i just need to reset the rt so i can hopefully sell it.
[Windows RT General] guyver76:
Yes I have but I'm not sure how to open it. I tried to run as administrator but it doesn't open.
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
As far as Media Builder App Pack goes it's not something you run separately, its files are used by the Media Builder to add the apps to the Windows image directly. If you didn't get this menu when using Media Builder then you will not have any apps:

See first post for a screenshot of where App pack files are placed.
[Windows RT General] amoroboros:
thank you! it's working wonderfully now. I forgot to put the appx in the folder before.

About the performance on the first Surface, I can say it's pretty much the same, although the device warms a tiny bit more than before. Other than that, this brings new life to my old surface.
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Glad it worked (y)
[Windows RT General] GigiSaintNYC:
Hello everyone, congratulations on the guide. Following step by step everything works perfectly, except for the store, any advice?

I attach photos
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Various old versions of the store have become inoperable over the past few weeks, it appears from the Store icon on your taskbar that you have one of those versions. The media builder and app pack were updated on the 2nd of July to correct this by using a newer version.

Please install the version of Store from here. To install download the file to the device, open the file and click update when prompted. This is the last known version of the Store that will function normally on 15035.
[Windows RT General] GigiSaintNYC:
Thank you very much now everything is OK

i just need to figure out compatible apps
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
There isn't a great deal that is available directly from store, MyTube works fairly well but in general your choices will be limited.

I have a problem. Successfully installed windows 10 on surface rt (model 1572), but network, touchscreen, surface keyboard not working. And ui glitches when moving cursor or windows. Can anybody help me figure this out?
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Can you describe how you installed it?

It sounds like none of the drivers got installed so I would recommend just rebuilding the image and reinstalling or you could attempt to manually install the missing drivers. I will build a fresh image on this end as soon as possible to verify Media Builder isn't broken somewhere.
[Windows RT General] alexbabintsev:
I've already tried rebuilding and reinstalling windows 10 several times.

Install process is straight forward - first, i built image using Media Builder - selected target device (1: Microsoft Surface RT), selected NO to all questions to uninstall provisioned apps, selected Yes to place the activation link (which didnt appear on desktop after installation), then selected first windows setup mode (1: Windows Setup (Default)). After building complete created bootable USB. Then booted from usb on Surface and installed windows 10 (while installing it i have ui glitches while moving mouse). After installation and reboot windows 10 is loaded but resolution is 1920x1080, type cover keyboard, touchscreen, wifi not working and i still have ui glitches
[Windows RT General] alexbabintsev:
How can i install drivers manually?
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Model 1572 is Surface 2, selecting Surface RT won't apply the right drivers. Rebuild selecting "2: Microsoft Surface 2".

Graphics glitches in setup are expected but these only occur during setup.
[Windows RT General] hooddy:
@jwa4 if downloaded for office or language pack is breaks for some reasons so after next launch builder is just skip redownload office and stop if those files are rong. maybe it is good to delete it and redownload?
[Windows RT General] alexbabintsev:
My bad, i was sure i have Surface RT. Everytning works now. Thank you so much
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
No problem, glad it worked.

I will fix this in the next release but if the downloads for Office got interrupted you can delete the contents of:

D:\Windows_10_15035_Media_Builder v1.6b\Downloads\Office\Downloads\
[Windows RT General] guyver76:
How do I activate Windows?
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Once connected to the internet it will happen automatically eventually if you selected the option during image build, the KMS is not always up though.
[Windows RT General] Cenoura54:
Hello people. I followed all the steps but I keep getting the same problem every time when I start the sequence on the CMD file.

I keep getting Error 2 disk.log failed. And I still don't know why. Every time I get this error I can't boot the recovery and if I can when I Run the recovery.txt in the end some commands don't work. Im trying to recover an ASUS vivotab RT but even 8.0 or 8.1 fail to recover the tablet in graphical enviroment and on cmd too. I hope someone can help me here. If you need photos of the errors tomorrow I can take some. Thank you.
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Pictures would be great, what method are you attempting to use to install Windows?

Its unusual to have 8.1 recovery fail but not unheard of, if there is nothing on the device you want to keep open the recovery command prompt and run the following (This will wipe any internal recovery partition, make sure you have a recovery USB before doing it):

diskpart
sel dis 0
clean
exit

After the drive is wiped reboot and run recovery again from USB again.

The anonfiles mirror link on page one is working if there is an issue with the attachment on XDA, I've noticed a lot of problems with attachments in general on XDA :(
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
That version is very old, the one in your pictures is v1.2 and the current version on page one of the thread is version v1.6b. Did you download v1.2 recently? If so can you tell me from where?

Please try again with v1.6b and let me know how it goes.
[Windows RT General] MareAlta:
Now, it went well. I've made it after 4 tryies! It's done now!
[Windows RT General] Cenoura54:
It goes like this. Error formatting the usb and when I format it in fat32 and copy the files to the usb. I enter in recovery mode and Don't pass from logo Screen. 😔
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
What size is the USB drive you are using? You may need to clean the USB drive with diskpart, recreate the partition, format and copy the files. To do this open a command prompt as administrator and run the following command:

Diskpart
List Disk
Select Disk X (X = the number of your USB provided by running List Disk - Be careful to select the right drive.)
Clean
Create Partition Primary
Format FS=FAT32
Active
Assign
Exit

As for setup not booting I have never personally tested on the ASUS but some Windows RT devices will need to have secure boot disabled for Windows 10 setup to boot but I don't know about the ASUS. Did you previously have the golden keys jailbreak applied to the Windows RT 8.1 installation?

If the ASUS is not capable of booting Windows 10 setup it would require the old method of retaining Windows RT 8.1 boot files with golden keys and manually applying the install.wim
[Windows RT General] Cenoura54:
How do I apply the golden keys? I bought this with recovery problems I tried Windows 8 and 8.1 but I failed always to install it. When I get to the Bootrec /bcd
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Is it possible it has more than just recovery problems? The first step is getting it running RT 8.1 before trying 10, I'm not aware of any official ASUS recovery images but there is this: https://xdaforums.com/t/windows-rt-8-1-ir5-media-builder.4184449/

If the RT 8.1 doesn't boot then there might other issues.
[Windows RT General] Cenoura54:
Thanks again. I will try this one. There are soo many versions of the windows RT that its hard to find the right one.

The tablet boot up but fail always because some windows error. Give me always bluescreen with some error. Soo I guess its software problem and not hardware. Maybe I'm using the wrong Windows 8.1 RT for my device or some outdated version.
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
When creating RT 8.1 use the "Longhorn Jailbreak Safe" or "No Updates" to leave the option open to install golden keys.
[Windows RT General] Cenoura54:
Is this normal on Longhorn Jailbreak Safe?
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Not normal, what language is the Windows installation and which options are you selecting on the Media Builder? I will try and recreate the issue.
[Windows RT General] Cenoura54:
9/ 2 for Longhorn option. Then I choose 4 / Y /25 /Y /Y /2 /Y. (25 is portuguese from Portugal language pack)
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
I think I can see the cause of the Start Menu registry error (will fix asap) but I can't see what's causing the Product Key issue, could you post the c:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log file?

Not at this time, 15035 can be made to work on a Lumia 2520 but at the moment Media Builder wouldn't produce anything that worked.
[Windows RT General] MareAlta:
When i Try to create Build for Surface RT 2 with Office, this happens.

Office updates get an error and the build stops.

Should I change to the new version?
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Give V1.7 a try, the new version will attempt to replace the file. That error would only happen if 2537063.exe was an incomplete download or otherwise corrupt.
[Windows RT General] MareAlta:
Ok! So now I know! Failed download due to internet connection lost, when chaging to mobile data!

If I delete the file in that folder, probably will it restart the download again?

Meanwhile i'm going to try 1.7!
[Windows RT General] MareAlta:
1.7 gives me this error
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
To avoid path length limits I recommend this is extracted to the root of your hard drive, for example "D:\Windows_10_15035_Media_Builder_v1.7\".

All releases have had the above advice and would have had issues with long path lengths but v1.7 is the first one to actually check. The potential issues would generally only effect the app pack option but better to be safe.
[Windows RT General] MareAlta:
Running as you said, in root of hard drive!
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Yep, that explains it. Better to go to v1.7 anyway.

I'm not able to boot from recovery!

Yesterday, i've build the image to an USB Drive. Here it is:

I've tried in two ways!

1 - Through Advanced Startup (recovery menu) on self windows! Got the blue menu and select star from USB Device! Tablet Return to normal windows.

2 - Vol Down when starting tablet. Blue menu appears, selected start from USB Device! Tablet returned to normal windows.

P.S.: USB Drive ligths the led when booting "from USB device" but nothing happens.

Am I missing something?

I can manage to get at the manual way, but i Would like to see this build working!
[Windows RT General] MareAlta:
New Note:

Yesterday with Build, It asked if I want to create an ISO image! Pressed Y.

Today i've tried to mount ISO file with Win32DiskImager. USB pen was allways left in blank, unformatted. Did it for 4 times.

Tried to mount the ISO with UnetBootinV700.

Booted in recovery mode - Blue Menu, boot from USB/DVD

Surface detects USB and tablet is "hanged" on Surface Logo for too long without doing anything - I Think!
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
What device do you have and what is its current state? Do you have secure boot debug policy or Yahallo applied?
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
ISO option is pretty much just for archival purposes, I've only ever tried mounting the resulting ISO using Windows own ISO mounting function. If you need to copy the files to USB again manually copy the contents of the ISO or the output directory to a FAT32 USB.
[Windows RT General] MareAlta:
Surface RT2 anda running already windows10 RT old version. But I Would like to make a fresh install including Office (wich I don't have actually on Surface 2)

Laptop (Lenovo) with windows10 is making all the work to create image builder.
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
So you will already have the secure boot debug policy installed but on Surface 2 if you want to use the setup method of install then you also need to apply Yahallo to properly disable secure boot and then remove secure boot debug policy before Windows 10 setup will boot from USB.

Yahallo - Disable Secureboot | Open Surface RT

openrt.gitbook.io
[Windows RT General] MareAlta:
This is what I've made last night.
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Looks fine but on Surface 2 you have to apply Yahallo and then remove the secure boot debug policy/golden keys to use setup method. It won't boot from USB until this is done, it will just give up and boot into Windows.

Alternatively you can take the install.wim in \sources and manually apply with dism much the same way you would have done with the old version you used.
[Windows RT General] MareAlta:
Yahallo worked! It's booting from USB now!
[Windows RT General] MareAlta:
One doubt (or I am missing something)!

USB has correctly booted!

It Shows Keyboard Type! I've founded Portuguese Layout, wich is my Region!

So, next, should i "Reset this PC?"...
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
On recovery style, after Keyboard layout selection it should be Troubleshoot > Recover from a drive.
[Windows RT General] MareAlta:
After installing 99% of recovery, Tablet restarted and a Blue Screen with TPM Question Appeared.

Selected "clear TPM" (Volume Up or F12). Hope it done well.
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Yep, that's OK.
[Windows RT General] MareAlta:
Everything Went Well!

Working very well! Cannot complaint for this Tablet!

Thank You Very much for your effort. If I somewhere or some day could help on anything, please let me know!

Excellent, glad it worked.

Hi friends, when you say:

There are one or two third party language packs that were created from other builds but the Media Builder does not support them at this time.

what are the other language packs? spanish? you can send me the links to downdoad the other third party language please, i have win 10 running ok in surface rt 1, i like install spanish pack, if found it please send to my email jodapazena@gmail.com thanks0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Unfortunately the only two that I am aware of are Chinese and Russian and I don't have current links for either of them.
[Windows RT General] Macheist:
Can anyone help me with the issue I am having? I am currently on a RT 1 and I can't seem to get Windows 10 installed. When I boot the install it loads up fine until the screen "Setup is starting". From there it literally takes 20 minutes for the next screen to come up. Once I am able to click the install (upgrade or clean install" It takes 10 more minutes or so to get into this screen. From there I can see 5 partitions listed and none of them can be deleted or used to install Windows 10. Any ideas or suggestions with out greatly appreciated.
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Sounds like your RT is good to go if setup is booting from USB but why its taking so long I don't know. Old USB drive? It's possibly related to the partitions it doesn't seem to want to access though. One thing to note is never use upgrade option, it doesn't work as far as I'm aware.

If there is nothing on the device you need to keep you can wipe the partitions from the recovery command prompt, you can click on repair my computer in setup and one of the follow-up options given will be command prompt. From command prompt run:

diskpart
sel dis 0
clean

After this reboot and restart setup.
[Windows RT General] Macheist:
Thanks for the suggestion. That worked... partially. Now when I go to create a new partition through the wizard nothing happens. I went back into recovery cmd prompt and tried from there but I keep getting this DiskPart error:

"DiskPart has encountered an error: the request failed due to a fatal device hardware error. See the System Event Log for more information."

Any ideas?
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
That sounds suspiciously like your eMMC is faulty/worn out. To rule out anything 10 setup related try cleaning the disk again and using an RT 8.1 recovery.
[Windows RT General] nim76:
Morning, I tried to run the Build under admin rights and it gives me the following message. any help is greatly appreciated.
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
To avoid path length limits I recommend this is extracted to a directory in the root of your hard drive, for example "C:\Windows_10_15035_Media_Builder_v1.8a\".

that worked thank you so much, is there a guide on how to use the build?. want to make sure i select the correct options.
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
As far as the options go it's personal preference so there is no correct or incorrect when it comes to selecting them.
[Windows RT General] nim76:
got it working, for future references can I downgrade back to 8.0 or 8.1??

Going back to RT isn't a problem, it can be done via official recovery media or the Windows RT 8.1 Media Builder.

Hello,

* I created successfully WIn10 iso-image with Media Builder

* Created bootable flash-drive using Win10 iso0image with Rufus app

But I can't booting with this drive. Press volume down + power button, but my original installed Win 8.1 loading. What is wrong?
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Which device do you have and can you describe the current state of the device? Does it have the Longhorn jailbreak etc?

Thanks
[Windows RT General] leonid18121:
Hello. I have Surface 2 device and it doesn't' have jailbreak. Does it required? As I know for Surface 2 we have Development-Tool only.
[Windows RT General] leonid18121:
I haven't any troubles to booting from official image downloaded from Microsoft website. But if I replace all files on this image with Media Builder iso - I have the same problem. I can't booting with vol_down+power keys
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Your image is likely good but Surface 2 requires the use of Yahallo to fully disable secureboot for Windows 10 setup to boot.

Assuming you are starting with either a cleared eMMC or if there is an installation of Windows RT 8.1 present that is not prevented from using the Longhorn jailbreak (December 2016 or later) on Surface 2 then this is the current method you will need to follow:

Surface RT & 2 Jailbreak USB | Open Surface RT

openrt.gitbook.io

Grab the download from the page above then follow the instructions below:

1. Install Golden Keys (Needed so Yahallo will boot).

2. Apply Yahallo (Yahallo won't boot unless Golden keys is present).

3. Remove Golden Keys (Windows 10 15035 will not boot if Golden Keys is present).

4. Boot from Windows 10 USB using vol down + power on.

If you can't install Golden Keys because because of the update level of an existing installation of Windows RT 8.1 is preventing it then use the RT 8.1 recovery USB command prompt option to clear the eMMC with diskpart.

No, I did not see any error.I did not see any error while running

I'm not 100% sure because I can't test at the moment but try renaming "New Folder (2)" to "New Folder 2".
[Windows RT General] NimaRaoufi:
I tested. Based on your explanation, I realized that I have to try it on Drive D. And the iso problem was solved.
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
It doesn't have to be on a specific drive but was the folder placed on D also named "New Folder (2)"?
[Windows RT General] NimaRaoufi:
This is how it was made. I changed the name of the drive to D
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
Yea, I think if you ran it from "New Folder (2)" even if it was on D it would fail. I will try to add something to fix it in the next release.
[Windows RT General] NimaRaoufi:
Thanks, I installed Windows but Wi-Fi does not work. what's the reason ?

Restarting this problem was also solved!!
[Windows RT General] jwa4:

[Windows RT General] NimaRaoufi:
surface rt .Unfortunately, Windows is very slow. How to downgrade Windows to 8.0?

Is there a way to install the software on the surface?
[Windows RT General] jwa4:
None of the Windows RT devices or ever going to be considered fast, running 15035 on any of them is just for fun territory.
