Windows 10 on Ativ SE

[PuckCowboy]

I'll take a wack at it for you, let me get the files together in One Drive and I'll write up something dead simple.

Thanks Asellite! Much appreciated!

Hey guys, bad news. I typed the whole thing up in word, links and everything and I got half way done with it and tried to post it. I didn't have enough posts to create links so I got up to go get some dinner. When I got back Word had crashed and I couldn't get back to the post page via Edge history so I'm screwed. I have about half of the document recovered but I'll have to retype the rest tomorrow at work. I'm really sorry for the guys who waited up. It's a kick *** guide. Maybe it'll be even better the second time around. I'll update this tomorrow with a link to the guide. Again, I'm really sorry!

Unless anyone has a magic fix to recovering old clipboard text or unsaved word documents I'll see you guys tomorrow. Already tried searching temp folders and previous versions, word saved nothing. Alright, I'm beat, going to bed. Guide tomorrow morning, early, Pacific Time.

Cheers,
asellite

No worries Asellite. I can't speak for others, but Im in no rush. I know the new RTM build comes out soon, so I'm going to wait for that anyway before I do anything. No rush. Take your time and put together a solid guide

I ended up staying up and refinishing it. It's done and posted as a new thread, awaiting Mod approval. Should be up soon, keep an eye out. I'll leave a link here when it goes live! Hope it helps you!

The Complete Guide: Upgrading the Ativ SE to Windows 10 Mobile

Anyone's phone running hot with this ?

Anyone's phone running hot with this ?

Mine's been fine so far. Been using it for about a week.

Is slow motion recording working on the SE?

No, I don't believe our chipset is supported.

 

[Dusan Randj]

No, I don't believe our chipset is supported.

It's same chipset as in L930 or 1520, Snapdragon 800...

Thanks you very much for the guide. It worked and I am now running my ATIV SE with WP10. The instructions were great and you deserve a beer or three for the effort and quality of the guide.

First of all, a tremendous thank you to all of those who did the heavy lifting in figuring out how to get W10 on the SE, which Asellite so graciously constructed into a thorough and easy to follow guide through the process. I purchased an SE on eBay shortly after switching to Verizon from a regional carrier that didn't support any Windows devices, and I was becoming quite disheartened at the prospect that it might never see W10. Now, to finish the process, I need your help.

*Copied from my post on Asellite's "Complete Guide" thread*
I've run into a snag and need to know if it's okay to proceed. I followed the steps to the letter, went to the insider app, applied for fast ring, then went to install updates and, instead of getting windows 10, I'm seeing an update for 8.10.14219.341. I can't retry the Insider update without installing the 8.10.14219 update, or else resetting the device and trying again. Which of these options would be safe, if any?

Thank you for the kind words! I'm just happy to help my fellow WP users! Cheers!

Gave my opinion on this in the other thread, just so you know!

So now that my ATIV SE is running WP10 flawlessly, I am going to ask a perhaps silly question.

Is the LG Lancet able to be upgraded in the same way? Is the processor and chip architecture the same as any Nokia models in the queue for upgrade?

I want to get my wife on WP10 and she really likes the Lancet form factor.

Cheers!

Does it actually run flawlessly? No issues at all?

 

[djblitz]

I've definitely had zero issues....Phone runs like a charm

So glad to hear it. No, I'm not convinced the same process would end well for the lancet. There's a solid chance it could brick your phone. If I were you I'd see about picking her up a 640 if you guys are on GSM. If you're on CDMA, the ATIV SE can be had for like $70 these days!

THIS. For anyone who wants a windows phone and doesn't need the latest and greatest, there's insane value out there on eBay/Swappa/etc. I bought an Ativ SE back in August on eBay, for which I paid $120 NEW. I had left a Verizon store earlier that day where I bought a Lumia 735, which they sell for 200. The 735 is a great device, but when you compare it's specs to the Ativ SE, given the price, it's embarrassing. The only difference was that the Ativ was stuck in Samsung/Verizon purgatory, which the folks of this forum have rectified.

Re: Windows 10 on Ativ SE (10586)

So seeing as the "Shipping" version of Windows 10 Mobile (10586) was just pushed out today, I'm curious if any ATIV SE users will be upgrading to this release, and if so what their experiences are.

It sounds like 10581 was pretty smooth for all that tried it, and if this shipping release is even better, I think I'm going to dive in. Any and all info from those updating is truly appreciated

Thank you in advance!
