I know there is a firmware update thread but that has got too long now. So lets discuss Windows 10 mobile here. Anyone managed to successfully run Windows 10 mobile on the brilliant Ativ S? What will windows 10 give us Ativ S owners? I assume we will get it once we get to RTM?
Windows 10 for the Ativ S owners?

Hey,
I successfully managed to update to the Windows Mobile 10 build 10512. However, I'm facing the same problem that I encountered on the build 10166 : I unable to do a complete hard reset. Every time I try to I face what Gabriel named the "app migration error" : I end up with an empty system : no store, no settings. Only a few applications like Skype, Now, Storage... :S
NB : The update process works fine but I'd really like to do a hard reset.

Already tried. Here is what I tried one week after the 10166 build was released :
- Flash and update from GDR3 to 8.1 (FW 15.3.2)
- Update to build 10166
- Hard reset from settings
-- No settings, no store
- Hard reset using hardware method (keys combination at boot)
-- No settings, no store
- Hard reset using hardware method
-- No settings, no store
Fine, let's go back to 8.1 :
- Flash and update from GDR3 to 8.1 (FW 15.3.2)
- Update to build 10166
- After a 2 days on it, issues appear with the Groove Music application
- Hard reset from settings
-- No settings, no store
- One more using hardware method ?
-- No settings, no store
8.1 it is ! 8D
As i said, I have the same problem with build 10512.
All through the above processes described above I (not every time) put the phone (while reseting) in the freezer because it was very hot. I, sometimes, ended up with a few more applications installed but I was still missing the settings and the store.
Each time during the reseting process, the progress bar stops at ~1/4.Then the phone reboot and I get the Welcome screen...
One thing I haven't tried is reseting first using the hardware method first. I will give it a try later (depends on how buggy is the build after the update on my Ativ S).

ok, let me ask a simple question... WHY are you doing this? You can only brick your phone and loose time because WP10 wont work as it should on Ativ S. Its useless
I don't have any particular reason, I just enjoy trying to tweak PC, phones...
I might brick my phone one day, but I already have a backup device and plans to buy a new one (I'm just waiting for the new flagships).
And Windows Mobile 10 works pretty well on the Ativ S. I haven't encountered any serious bug.

SMD Binary Downloader 3.54 (available from grozaman's Yandex drive). Works with build 10166 and 10512.
so.. here is the first limitation (more to come?)
Microsoft's Windows 10 Mobile update unlikely to come to 4GB phones | Windows Central
I dont tkink that Samsung Ativ S will get WP10, its just too old now

Hey peoples... How can you upgrade the ativ s to win10???????? I searched in the internet guide but I not found...

Yes, but for the Ativ S, Windows 10 Mobile works pretty fine if we exclude the preview bugs. I think the upgrade limitation will be related to Samsung limited support.

The Ativ S is not officialy part of the Insider Program and Windows 10 Mobile is not out yet. You can upgrade your Ativ S to preview builds by faking your phone model and using Windows Insider program.

The Ativ S has more then 4 GB of storage space.
So that will not be a limitation of the upgrade on the Ativ S.
Neither will RAM, as some Lumia's that are currently supported have 512MB, which is half less then the Ativ S.
I see no real limitations that would cut out the Ativ S, its higher end then some of the Nokia's that are supported ATM.
Don't cut the Ativ S out yet, the only thing that might cut the phone out from upgrading to Mobile 10, is Samsung.

How can I fake my phone model? I tried the guide with Lumia 635 ( or same.. Don't remember) and its not working.. Can you send me a link to another guide??
dont do it, you will brick your phone. Its not worth it. WP10 is slow and buggy on AtivS anyways
I won't give you a link because you can find it if you know where to look.
Plus, Windows 10 Mobile is still at a preview stage and the Samsung Ativ S is not officially supported. So if you can't find how to install it by yourself on your Ativ S, this preview is not for you.
Sorry.

The ATIV S is nearly three years old. Samsung would have to put in support for an aging device in order to properly run Windows 10. People with an ATIV S should not expect an official upgrade to Windows 10. This isn't like installing the 8.1 preview on an 8.0 device; Windows 10 will not function on your phone as is.
I will wait for the RTM before install Win10 faking the model
