Double Tap To Wake now available on WDRT and OTA

[Saad Rashid]

So to upgrade firmware you will always have to use recovery tools via PC or it can also be updated via phone's built in update feature?

Look post #7. OTA = over the air = phone's built in update feature

Just updated in Sweden. It's live here right now.

Yeah, I just checked, it's here in the US too.
Trying to decide if I want to reset, or wait for OTA; the last time I did a reset, recovery failed, almost completely, spent half a day patching it all up.

WDRT still shows same firmware. Maybe it's gradually rolling out in the US

 

[slyronit]

Wow! Definitely will not wait for OTA, will check WDRT later when I have a USB-C cable around. Long weekend ahead, it seems, as I would have to go back to Fast Ring, factory rest and then restore backup again.

 

[Vlad Spatariu]

Hell yeahhhh!

Can't hard reset though, it would take me literally a day to configure everything right back to the way it is now. Will wait for OTA. Can anyone else confirm that this is working? Thanks!

 

[sstiwari]

Yup. I can see it for meh. Lumia 950 XL Black IN-CV. Downloading......

 

[Vlad Spatariu]

What region are you in? Can anyone with a Lumia 950 check if it's available? (at working and using Linux over here, so no WDRT)

 

[LarsCor]

Updating trough the recovery tool will wipe the whole phone right? That would suck as I cannot backup saves for Hitman Go

India

Okay, so we've got Russia and India, and I think one person said they saw it in the US. Hopefully this is a gradual rollout!

 

[Vlad Spatariu]

Users with other Lumias from the x50 family, can anyone confirm that this is rolling out to the rest of those devices as well? I have a Lumia 950

 

[PGrey]

Hmm, downloaded and updated, catapulted me back to .107 though, and lost most of my settings, ugh.
Is there any way to "trigger" a Restore, after getting back to .456, so my settings will work correctly, at Restore-time?

Right now I'm going to .420, apparently you have to do a two-step, to get to .456, handy stuff, not so much...

I knew I should've waited for OTA, oops, darn it, but I hate not having double-tap, coming from an HTC M8...

 

[Vlad Spatariu]

WDRT gives me a FW version that's wayyy older than the one on my device. Weird stuff.

 

[anon(8648115)]

The update has hit WDRT for me here in California. Downloading now!

 

[slyronit]

Just installed new FW on my Lumia 950XL DS (CV Russia) via WDRT. New version is 01078.00053.16236.35009.

UPD: Lumia motion data is missing
UPD: uploaded screenshots, in Russian)) I have already upgraded to latest Insider Preview since the creation of thread

UPD: Looks like motion data and some other Lumia extras are missing because of a bug in hard reset process. Will try going through WDRT from scratch again later.

For Rasputin's sake, hide your IMEI number, man!

 

[LarsCor]

Not available here (netherlands) yet, on 950xl (not dual sim)

Is pictures/movies in the microSD at danger with flashing via WDRT? I'm not currently installing Apps in there, that'd not be a problem.

I'd bet this OTA will come togheter with the AU, but a good month of waiting is something hard to swallow.. On the other hand the .107 isn't very wise to restart again and would potentially f.ck-up some settings, as I've heard above.

Why MS isn't putting a more recent build in WDRT is something nobody knows..
2nd bet is that they'll put .456 (or any latest TH2 of that time) in WDRT as soon as AU kicks in via OTA (as an emergency parachute for us).

 

[Vlad Spatariu]

You must probably have that backed up on your onedrive already, so go nuts with nuking your phone.
