The time has passed to install WP10 on phones that are not supported with WP10.
The 521 is not supported

I'm not sure all the back doors have not been closed at this point.

The 521 has had some users reporting a bricked phone when attempting the interop route forcing WM10 onto the phone.
Remembering back the bricks were caused by attempting to roll back with the device recovery tool.

User... Please do not create multiple threads on your issue. It actually works against you as any advice gets scattered around and a coherent conversation cannot develop as easily...

What does that mean back the bricks

Re: Lumia 521 Windows 10 Update

What does that mean back the bricks

It means that the phone no longer worked at all. When that happen, a phone is known as being 'bricked' (because it's nothing more than a brick). A series of devices that are all bricked would be 'bricks'.

In your case, if the phone is running Windows Phone 8 and you factory reset it, you still remain on Windows Phone 8.

The phrase 'back the bricks', the OP is referring to a past event where devices would end up being bricked (i.e. not working at all) from using the Windows Device Recovery Tool. Can you show us the screen where it tells us what version of Windows Phone you are using please? It can't be on Cyan and Windows Mobile 10 at the same time.
