Hi All,
I used the windows recovery tool which got the phone working again on 8.1 however the microsoft account no longer works on 8.1. I'm looking for the apx package for the upgrade advisor so that I can update the phone to windows 10. I flashed a windows 10 cn rom which works however I'm after a en-gb windows 10 rom.
If anyone could assist that would be great!
Problem solved, looks like it was server side. Windows 8.1 is now able to sign into the microsoft account. :laugh:
Windows 10 is still too buggy on the lumia 930, i have to restart the phone sometimes for the wifi to work. 8.1 is also much faster and uses less battery.

Ok, thanks, but i still like using windows 8
Okay, I have faced a weird install problem..
I was running Windows 7 on a dell studio xps 16, bought the upgrade package for 39.99 & downloaded Windows 8. It didn't give me an option to upgrade with apps, so I decided to just upgrade with Windows settings.
After a long install and a lot of reboots, it finally installed I thought all was perfect.
The Windows 8 set-up screen showed up, asked me to create a windows id for the store, completed all of this, and when finally I expect to see the Metro UI, i get a small dialog box saying set-up has failed - I click okay, and it puts me back to Windows 7.. Whats wrong!!!
After booting up, asking me to create a ID, do all that stuff - to pop up that error & put me back on Windows 7 was quite weird.
What can I do now?
(Sorry if this doesnt belong here)
Did the setup retaining Nothing.
Worked.
Hi, I can't sync my Omnia 7 with my new Windows 8 laptop.
I downloaded Windows Phone app (Zune replacement), its promting me to connect my phone to see whats on it, but it can't see it. I tried installing Samsung mobile usb driver (i8700_samsung_mobile_usb_driver_v5.2__v1.2.1050.0) but it isnt working.
On my phone I got this custom ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571068
OS version: 7.10.8588.169
In Windows 8 Device Manager is my phone detected as Windows Phone USB Device, so its connected at least at some way.
Thank you for you help.
isn't the Windows 8 Device Manager only for wp8?
anyway i suggest you to try zune (you can install it on w8 NON RT, instead if you are running w8rt... i don't know)
Windows Phone app is only for WP8 and Zune IS working on Windows 8? I lived in a lie. Thank you it should solve it I think.

If you had Windows 8, is there a update in Store "Windows 8.1" I have 1, 2 GB ( x32) and 1,5 (X64) its normal OS update. What error you got ? And what Windows 8 version do you use ?

What windows r u using now ? I use windows 8 but there's no auto update
to upgrade windows 8 to 8.1 you will need to first download all updates for windows 8 - This could be up to 3gb worth of updates which can be downloaded from the windows update and recovery section in pc settings
once all updates have been installed and the computer restarted to finish installation process you can then update windows 8.1 from the windows store
if it does not show either you havent installed the required updates or theres some other problem
Please note the following windows 8 do NOT support upgrade
Windows 8 Pro, if installed by an organisation or a program that uses Volume Licensing. Talk to your system admin, or the administrator of the program that was used to install Windows 8. If you’re the administrator, you can find more info and links to Windows 8.1 ISOs in the Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation.
Windows 8 Pro, if installed using an MSDN or TechNet ISO, and activated using Multiple Activation Keys. You might be able to download a Windows 8.1 ISO from MSDN or TechNet.

When i bought my laptop it did have Windows 7 on it. But i did have a option to bye Windows 8 cheap with a promotioncode. Sow i buyed Windows 8. But only this year i found out its a upgrade disk... Bummer. Well never likked Windows 8 much after trying testversion and seeing the final product. It made me think of Viste. (Not finnist) Never mind... I did not like the sow called Metro menu at that time. I dont like the way the settings work. Its not like i used to.
But i wanted to do somthing with this useless Windows 8 update disk. Windows 8.1 is a free update to Windows 8 users/byers. Sow i looked into some options to get Windows 8.1 with updates.. But no option i really liked. (Dont like putting in a ligit code after install. Ore running updates) What i did not want is install the Windows 8 upgrade on my Windows 7 laptop. Windows 7 works just fine. I could have made some image *.wim from the finall install.
Sow let me finally tell now what to do with the upgrade disk image. Dont use it. Its that simple! Get a Windows 8.1 with update from here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media The image will take a Windows 8 key. Thats what i wanted!!! Normally you would have to install Windows 8.1 with some default key form MS and put in the bought key after install (When using the key from the Windows 8 upgrade disk). That suck.
Well happy installing Windows 8.1 with update1 using you're Windows 8 key. That's my point haha.
Well thats not all for me. I wanted to install Windows 8.1 for a usb stick and with out to many clicks. Sow i did look into some programs like Nlite (XP) Vlite and sow on. Than i found https://www.ntlite.com/ from the same maker of Nlite and Vlite! The program Ntlite works great. Not like Nlite but still great. The build image can be tested with a program like wm player.
Sow in the and i put my Windows 8.1 on my minipc. (Conected to the tv) Windows 8.1 is just great for playing some music and movies. (I hope i can reinstall sometime with some Windows 8 driverpack by the way)
