downloading windows insider app.

I am in the fast ring and got two updates.
> the latest build for windows10 mobile 100136 and the 8.1 reboot update
> i charged it to 100% = checked it on my status bar.
> now the I pressed install now then the Gears started spinning.
> it gave me a few PROGRESS then suddenly it went to the NOKIA logo and displayed a BATTERY low icon with a PLUG on it...

it keeps repeating like that I even have it plugged in all the time

While gears are spinning, Press VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON together, keep pressed till phone goes blank, vibrates and NOKIA appears and then release the buttons.

2. Immediately press following buttons in sequence ONE by ONE i.e. press release..press release :

VOLUME UP
VOLUME DOWN
POWER
VOLUME DOWN

this one?

Yes that one

still encountering that dead battery .
now upgrading to the latest build..

btw I did it with 99% charge does it make a whole difference if it's not 100?

You could try letting the battery drain completely until it's dead, then try again.

I got it to install on Lumia Icon! It was getting very hot during all off the previous attempts where it showed a low battery. I saw on WPCentral that someone got it to install in a cool room at their office. So, I put it in the refrigerator.

Steps:
Charged it to 100%
While still plugged in, download the Windows 10 update.
When the phone restarts to start in update, unplug it and...
Put it in the refrigerator, with the back touching a cool shelf

The install, where the screen displays the gears, took 35 minutes in the refrigerator.
After the that process ended, I took it out, and let it finish migrating the data

​Omg, unbelievable! I had my doubts but this actually worked! This is what I did -

1. Flashed Indian ROM (from HK)
2. Didn't restore anything.
3. Deleted all 3rd party apps.
4. Installed Preview for Developers.
5. Completed all updates.
6. Installed Windows Insider and selected Fast Ring.
7. Downloaded build 10049.
8. When installation started (gears screen), put the phone in the refrigerator. It got to 100% after about 30 minutes and got stuck. Removed SD card and installation completed successfully!

This is kinda hilarious but I might try this since yeah it keeps on overheating while upgrading.

The refrigerator works. My phone was only a bit warm after the upgrade successfully finished. Without it I got that empty battery icon and could not get past it.
