I'm a noob. Has anyone successfully installed 2179 after downloading the package? I went into Settings then Packages, turned it on and pointed it to the folder containing the files that I downloaded. But WPRT still insists that 2040 is the latest. Is there something else I need to do to get it to read the 2179 files?
When will AT&T Lumia 830 get PROPER Denim update?

Downloaded from TheSuperShoe - thank you, by the way
Which file, the big one or the one he trimmed down? I have them both,and not sure which to use.

sorry, cannot test myself. Maybe turning Internet off is a chance to get it to work (probably not, but worth a try).
If WPRT doesn't work then follow the instructions here:
How to Flash with Nokia care suite 5 | Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking | XDA Forums
since you already have the files you should be able to start with point 6).
you may have to manually create a folder
C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\RM-983
with the downloaded files in it, for it to find the update.

I just tried and I cannot get it to work either. I assume you turn it on, point to the package and then go back? When I do that it still says I have the latest..
I tried both - didn't seem to make a difference. WPRT always seems to check the server. I tried putting my Surface into Airplane mode to see if I could force it to use the local package instead of checking the server but it just timed out complaining that there was no internet connection. I get the feeling that the server is telling WPRT that 2040 is the latest and thus won't look at 2179 that I have locally. If this is true then I guess sadly we're at a dead-end again at the mercy of Microsoft/AT&T.

I's suggest doing this to 1st.... shutdown the app (or reset PC) disconnect from the internet, then try again. maybe even uninstall the app, reboot, reinstall, disconnect from the net and try again?
I am not home yet, so can't test

I dabbled in trying to get denim from a RM-985 onto this phone before today, so I know a little bit about it. The "big" file with them mixed is EVERYTHING that was downloaded from WPRT, but I know the 02179 .ffu file is what is needed to install with the Nokia Care Suite.

Here's a guide to flash the 920, but it should be about the same for the 830:
http://forums.windowscentral.com/no...after-reset-flash-process-defined-inside.html
I found NokiaCare on my Computer, here's the download:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3Y...ew?usp=sharing
Here are the steps edited for the 830:
1. When complete, browse to: C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages
2. Create a folder called Products
3. Create a folder called rm-983
5. You should now have a directory like: C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-983\
6. Browse to the Download folder you extracted
7. Copy the entire folder contents and paste it into the C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-983\ directory.
NokiaCareSuiteForStore-5.4.119.1432 Directions:
1. Launch Nokia Care Suite
2. Click the Product Support Tool for Store 5.0
3. Click File
4. Click Open Product
5. Choose RM-983 (Nokia Lumia 830)
6. On the bottom left click Programming
7. Click Recovery
8. You should see the firmware you downloaded and copied earlier under the Properties field.
9. Click Start
10. The software will check the package contents, it will fail to find the phone, and ask you to reboot and give you a button to click retry.
Phone Directions:
1. Plug the phone into your PC
2. Hold the Volume Down and the Power button, click RETRY on the Product Support Tools Window
3. After you feel a vibration in the phone immediately release the Volume Down and the Power button and hold the Volume up button.
4. Continue to hold the volume up button, you will see the software say "Rebooting"
5. After about 15 seconds you will see a top NOKIA logo and the software will start flashing the phone.
Now, I have NOT TESTED THIS. If someone who knows what he/she is doing can test it first, then I'd really appreciate it.

why did you edit out your instructions? They were good.
Maybe the screenshots on the XDA instructions are easier to follow...
I cross my fingers this will work. I know I'd be up myself all night to get this going if I still had my L830.

It worked!!! I downloaded the file that TheSuperShoe uploaded. The one that's just the new build, and then followed the instructions he posted using the Nokia Care Suite! I couldn't get the Windows Phone Recovery to do it, but the Nokia Care Suite worked perfect! Thanks so much TheSuperShoe!!!
Confirmed that it is indeed on Denim. Have Lumia Camera 5.0 and everything. It also checked to see if I had my phone protected.

I have, but performance was always great on a fresh install and degraded after a couple days. I still have some bad battery drain, but it's running well for now. The Bluetooth in my car worked a lot better too.
