Windows Phone Update 2 can be installed using the Windows Insider program. To do this, you should have the Denim firmware version on your phone.
8.10.14226.359 or
8.10.14234.375 . It is important. If the firmware of any other version is lower, then you will need to either flash the phone to the desired version, or refuse and accept the fact that there is.
So let's start:
ATTENTION! Go toSettings \ Device Information \ Intelligence and pay attention to it OS version . If you already have one of the versions installed 8.10.14226.359 or 8.10.14234.375 go directly to step 5. 1. Go to
site updates, and look for your phone model, the country in which one of the above updates is available. Which country you choose is absolutely irrelevant. The language can be changed later when setting up the phone, and the rest of the firmware is the same.
2. Using the instructions from the cap (see spoiler
Rollback from Windows Phone 8.1 back to Windows Phone 8.0 ), download everything you need and reflash the phone to the selected firmware. Be sure to backup before flashing!
3. After installing the firmware, and turning on the phone, we enter your Microsoft account, but at the same time we refuse to request the restoration of the phone from a previously made backup copy.
4. Go again to
Settings \
Device Information \
Intelligence and make sure the OS version we need is installed. If the version is lower, but you are sure that one of the versions we need is available for this country, then go to
Phone updates and install all the updates that will be there.
5. After the phone is fully loaded, without setting anything up, go straight to the store and install the application.
Windows insider . You must be registered with the insiders program. If not
registering .
6. Go to the application, and click
Get Preview Builds on the next screen click
Insider Slow, which is the latest (third) and forward arrow down. After the checks, you will be offered to go to
settings ->phone update . Even if in the application you see the inscriptions about Windows 10, do not be alarmed and proceed to the next step.
7. Go in
Settings \ Phone Update , click check, download the update found, and install. Be careful, we need a version.
8.10.15116.125 . If it is written about installing Windows 10 Technical Preview, we recommend that you click the button not now and close this instruction - you will not get 8.1.2 since you did something wrong. And if you are offered exactly the version 8.10.15116.125, then we continue the installation.
8. After installing the update, and downloading the phone, first of all we delete the Windows Insider application, and do a full reset.
9. After a reset, you can safely enter your account, and restore from a backup.
Congratulations, you have Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2.
