Hi folks,

I recently updated my Lumia 1520 to update 2 via windows insider trick. Now I pretty much want to receive normal updates that are pushed to my device in the future and not windows 10 TP and all. So can u guys suggest me what to do in order to receive normal updates? Currently the update setting shows windows 10 update ready to download... Is there any trick that can help me?

Thank you.

Go to setings and back up your phone, aps, texts etc., sync your phone with the cloud. Download to a PC "Windows phone recovery tool", connect phone with USB to PC, and using the recovery tool reinstall the latest available software for your phone. In about 1-2 hours your phone should be fully functional with all the aps (the purchased ones too), texts, emails, contacts, photos etc. recovered. Format SD card, apps on it will be non functional.

Oh.. Thanks.. Seems like recovery is the last option left for me.. MSFT has pushed critical update for Lumia in m country today for random reboots and I don't want to miss it.. Will just use the recovery way now.. Thanks
