[Experimental] Install W10 on ANY phone running 8.1

[Akash Patel]

Lumia 625...now doing the reset...

reset won't take much time
The first install takes time due to that OS partition stitching issue

Do I really need to reset after all ??? I have it on my lumia 930 since 4 hours and I didn't reset. what's the benefit of it ?

First make sure you reinstall os via Lumia software recovery tool then follow this Chinese method make sure you follow everything written in it

Its always advice to do a hard reset after a major os update so the leftovers of the older one doesn't stay which result in slow down or some other issue.

Has anyone tried with a non Lumia device such as Samsung or HTC.
I personally have a HTC 8X but don't know how exactly to do it since there is no recovery tool for it

I tried it on my 720 with hundreds of ways, but my phone couldn't find preview builds.
So, I think there is no workaround for now, we just have to wait till MS goes with it officially.

Anyone else getting "Downloading Variant File Failed" errors on WPRT and repeated network errors on LRT? It's not letting me finish the download for the 1520.3 packages.

Installation was successful on my AT&T 520. I did a clean install to 8.1 via the recovery tool and then followed the instructions on XDA. I have not tried mobile data yet since my sim is in my 920 currently.
