[tut] How to get WTP 10 on the lumia 640 - Windows Phone 8 General

As you all may know there has been an issue with the availability of WTP 10 for our phones. Even though the lumia 640 is listed in the supported device list.
Microsoft has stated that there is an issue with rolling back to WP 8.1 for the devices that came with an OS version greater than 8.10.15116.125 so they have blocked the ability to install the tech preview on these phones.
Now from what I saw most 640's , including mine , came with a newer build.
With no word from Microsoft on how long this will take to be sorted out I decided to find a way around it.
The idea is to flash this earlier build on your phone and then just use the Windows Insider app.
I managed to find on NaviFirm+ the exact OS that allows us to upgrade to WTP 10 :

Hi,
Not firmware version, but OS version ^^

Thanks for the heads up. Got used to call it the firmware even though it's incorrect.

Quick Question
I have the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL LTE Dual Sim (RM-1096) which apparently is a prototype for Honk Kong Only. Can I put the Global Rom for the RM-1065 on this phone to get the LTE portion to work on the phone in the united States?

What would you recommend I do? The phone stated that it supports LTE on all bands, but there is no option to select LTE, only 4G being the highest and the signal is awful. Ive tried everything.

Lte = 4G on windows phones
4g = H+

No.
LTE = 4G
4G = 4G
H+ = H+
H = 3G+
3G = 3G
E = E

Arguing about what is or is not 4G (or what it's called) is pretty pointless, because the carriers choose what to call it for branded phones, and the OEMs choose what to call it for open-market phones. There's a registry key that lists what text is displayed for each network type. I tweaked it, and no my phone never says "4G"; it'll say LTE, or H+, or just H, or various other 3G or 2G options. Check the registry edit threads for more info.

Could someone give me some confirmed info?

I'm just curious as to what it is. I'd be really interested in an android tablet. I currently have an eris... which is pretty weak.
I've googled a lot but everything seems to be old or "rumored" so could someone help me out? I'd appreciate it.
What is it you want to know?
Sent from my HTC Desire
Specs, pricing, will it be google supported, full market place?
Oh and I'm also really curious to see if anyone has tried logmein to remote access their computers. I do it on my Eris but it's slow. I've seen it on the iPad and it's much better. How is it on the GTab?

Pricing isn't announced yet in most of the world.
For every other piece of infromation, why not just, eh, check the official website? I mean, have you even looked at Samsung's website? It lists all the specs for the device and few other details.
tl;dr: Price - dunno, not announced
"with Google" -experience - yes, if you mean GMail, Market and stuff.
Full Marketplace - Yes, it's a full phone and has all the capabilities as such, even market.
ps. Aside from the larger (and different) display, the Tab is essentially a Galaxy S.
Perfect thanks.
Does it Have an FM Radio Chip on it?

sorry but just to clarify this is a full phone but in tablet format?
so the inbuilt cell is capable of making GSM calls the same as say an iphone, NOT just able to use 3g connectivity for web as say a iPad?
wonder why the camera spec is so lame?

YES.
I'm sorry if I YET AGAIN sound angry or frustrated, it's not specifically you.
But don't you people ever think of yourselves and either read the official site or google around before asking questions? Yes, it's a full GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS phone. The official site lists all the bands the phone works on. (except I hear the USA version lacks the phone capabilities? but retains data/sms? I don't know.)

or head to http://www.samsung.com/ and navigate from there.
EDIT: Euro/FI version:
GSM&EDGE / 3G / CDMA / TD-SCDMA - 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz
3G - 900 / 2100 MHz
GPRS - Yes
EDGE - Yes
3G - HSDPA 7,2 Mbps / HSUPA 5,76 Mbps

ICON AND LIVE PEACEFULLY.i am here to take all the tensions..Now hope i don't sound rude!...for more on this,read the forum rules..
yes.... i hae got it on saturday and i have made GSM calls also...
GSM calls and 3g video calls are extra features compared to ipad which will need a seperate micro sim and 3g contract and pay extra
when at home i use wifi for the tab and while on long journeys , put my existing contract sim and use it and will not miss calls too , the display is just awesome and so smooth........
i dont need to take seperate contract for stupid things

Ah, good. What I did mean about that was that the other specs are official, but that part I haven't read anywhere but "rumor" sites.
As of right now they make no note of voice calling on american advertising ... It will be in the hardware but not in the firmware (rom) but im sure If we got a copy of your guys roms (all other countries besides US..lol) we will have the voice feature.

I'm not really clued up on all this but wouldn't this be tied in with the hardware? And since the Tab has been announced in the states not having voice(and possibly sms) capabilities wouldn't that mean it was missing the hardware to do it?
If that isn't the case then it's awesome for the people in the states to potentially have that option

US and Canada Wifi (MZ604) Xoom comparison (only hardware is the same)

Well, I just learned that the US wifi images are A LOT different from Canada's. I actually crippled my Xoom temporarily because the US system.img files don't like the Canadian userdata partitions. Well, that is until the userdata partition is wiped.
I'm not going to say much. I'll let the pictures do the talking...

Companies do a lot of localization stuff. I also noticed (but couldn't capture) the setup screen for the US version only had English, French and Spanish, while the Canadian one seemed more international. It had a bunch of European languages, Korean, Chinese and maybe even Japanese.
Part of the reason they probably didn't give us this one was because we're not supposed to get Google Books up here or something.
Here are some screenshots of the language list options on the Canadian Xoom's.
You just beat me to that. I rotated them in landscape so I only needed 3 pics. I might as well post mine as well.
@Scourge1024,
Do you recall any differences when turning these on for the first time? For example, having to accept "Motoblur Terms and Conditions" on one but not the other. Your apps screenshot of the the Canadian version has a "Motoblur Services" app, but the US one doesn't.
This post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12944248&postcount=336 seems to show Motoblur services running on a UK version. Can you verify whether or not your US version has Motoblur services on it?
I have a Canadian version as well, but am looking for one without the Motoblur stuff on it.
XR.
I'm pretty sure I had to accept some Motorola terms and conditions every time I did wipe on my XOOM. At the very end of the initial setup. I can't take a snapshot of that as adb won't connect till after.
I wonder if the Canadian version is like the UK one?
I also ripped the stock apk files from both US and Canadian versions.

Are you sure? My name is Howard. Lol. Not the coolest name out there.
But I might be able to save you some trouble. I couldn't install it. I pushed "BooksTablet.apk" and "BooksTablet.odex" into my /system/app folder and I don't see it on my Xoom at all (after a reboot of course).

You seem to be right - it looks like they've done something to prevent these apps from working with the Canadian image. Sucks! Kindle doesn't have a nice widget and page turning animations like GB does.
I have been wondering why our neighbors to the north are not allowed Google books? Has anything been said officially?
If I had to guess I would say differences in copyright laws.
It'd be nice to have a hybrid of the two. With all the languages in the Canadian version and all the apps from the US one.
I really wish you could import epub files into the kindle app... looks nice and clean. The most stable reader after that seems to be Moon+
the canada screens look like how the UK wifi version was.
three booksmarks - very few apps installed
but without the dodgy wallpaper
Ya kinda sucks that the Canadian version doesn't the US version of google books. I've been trying for 2 days to find it until i found this thread that made me understand that it's impossible.
Hey guys,
The advantage of the canadian version is the languages. i have bought the US version and cannot get the German language and localization running.
Other than google books any reasons not to flash the canadian version on a us hardware? Or do you see any other chance to localize it?
Thanks hdtvpower

T-Mobile GSII First to Use Cellular IPv6

I searched and didn't see it anywhere, but it appears that our beloved T989 is the first to be able to natively use IPv6 over the cell network (thanks to T-Mobile supporting IPv6 on their HSPA networks).
I can't get it to work on Darkside's UCLE2 ROM, but I imagine that's because it's the wrong base or radio or something (waiting on someone to come out with a non-stock UVLE1). Or possibly because IPv6 isn't up yet in my area...
Can anyone running stock UVLE1 confirm that IPv6 is working on their phone?

confirmed working. After you save and set the new v6 APN you must reboot.
I wonder...would this fix the infamous data hanging issue?
Where phone says it's connected to 4G/HSPA+ but data doesn't work?
So what would this do for us? Because I don't quite know personally.

Edit: Nevermind, found it on a simple google search. Just the APN type needs to be changed to IPV6. But since some apps like Skype do no support IPV6 yet, i'll hold off since it does not cause any performance improvement

Evidently you didn't search very well, as this is old news
Back on topic: does anyone have aGPS working over ipv6? I've noticed that it doesn't work with ipv4 on my Galaxy Nexus.
IPv6 works on my stock SGS 2 with stock ICS as well as my Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus on ICS
You must have the fully updated stock firmware for this to work on the SGS2
Keep in mind, you must reboot the SGS2 after creating, saving, and selecting the APN.

There are threads explaining how to enable all lte bands on Qualcomm chips... I have tried it with Verizon note 3, 4 and verizon lg g3 and didn't work on the notes, only worked on lg g3. I think it's because of the selinux... If you can flash custom kernel you may be able to enable band 3.

That shows the internet speed test
If you can go to Phone Info in the app, scroll down and tap on (PRL) and choose LTE/GSM/CDM auto.

4G does not work after update to Pie

I upgraded to Pie via ota, but my 4G does not work after upgrading, only 2g and 3g. Any solution for this?

Have you updated via the VPN method?

Yes
Try to select from list 2G and see if the modem works. then try one of the options offered. So I managed to get 4G
I think the problem is with the modem they used in Android Pie: it supports only B1 (2100), B3 (1800+), B5 (850), B40 (TDD 2300) and B41 (TDD 2500).
So 4G is working but only in countries where this bands are used. In Italy for example we have band 3 in highways and cities, but in rural areas we use band 20 and it's gone
I hope that they can solve the problem with a new update.
PS: Don't try to flash 8.1 modem over Android Pie stock rom. It will cause system crashes and SIM card won't work anymore until a reflash of Pie modem.

It also happen with B7, at least for me. In Italy I use Iliad and.. there's no 4g available for me. 3g works but, if it's like how you said, we need to wait for the next update.

I have to say I'm amazed that Xiaomi can release a rom with missing bands. It seems so incompetent. Considering Europe in particular uses these bands and this is the market they are trying to break into it would seem another massive own goal (after the phone for £1 UK farce)!
Can you guys try to use a launcher like Nova that allows to go to activities, search for Settings.BandMode and select Automatic, and see if it helps?

Consider as well that people who have this issue have been "forcing" the update when they were not supposed to get it... You can't blame Xiaomi for that.
If some people got the OTA "normally" and have this issue, then I can understand the complains, but so far it's only people with 0 patience and disregarding the advice of others who warned about risks for LTE while forcing the OTA (and in case it's not clear for some, LTE==4G).

This is simply wrong on a technical level. There is only one version of the update. I also factory reset and the bands are still missing. It's been established that xiaomi have omitted many of the bands. If you go on the firmware thread that joey huab updates he clearly explains that the bands are missing on the pie firmware. It has nothing to do with using a vpn to get the update early!

You have to wait for xiaomi firmware update. The bands are missing.
My wife got the update ota on the mi a1 and also no 4g anymore. No vpn push or anything.
