How did you do that? I didn't think they let any phones outside of Lumias and HTC phones upgrade.

OK, probably did one of those hacky, web intercept workarounds.

Beware, you may be hosed in the future. Do you have an exit strategy?

I don't think one exists. The reason these phones aren't in the preview is because Microsoft doesn't have images to flash onto them to revert back to normal. Unless they get released using the WPRT, if OP has a problem, then he's screwed.

sorry guys, i installed Windowsinsider app and it did updated to 8.10.*.341 and then it stopped. no w10.
the phone received 2-3 updates with the insider app installed.

its downloading an update now.. it must be w10. it seems htc 8x-8s are getting it too and samsung.

 

[vinscg]

confirmed . it is Windows10 latest build.

[vinscg]

Cool hope it works, I've read HTC 8x users are experiencing lots of reboots

I think it was announced at Mobile World Congress earlier this year.

installation was ok , i will test the os later.

 

[vinscg]

the os seems pretty stable, i did a hard reset and its clean & functional.
all apps are working fine .. im impressed with w10 build.. even on that basic phone

 

[micallan_17]

Glad it worked for ya.

battery drains hell-a-fast.

 

[vinscg]

just got a config update and it bricked the device.

 

[xandros9]

I was worried when having it on a device-not-supposed-to-have-it would catch up... :/

 

[vinscg]

i installed the insider app, and i received w10 but wasnt supposed to.

i still dont get it why they dont add all wp's to the wp-restore tool
