While the Nokia Lumia 530 isn't officially supported, it's still possible to get Windows x mobile running on it. At the fourth dimension of writing, it has become a bit tricky to get it to work, since nearly official Microsoft tools are discontinued and will therefore not work. I will be linking the files which I've used. The credits to the people who made or shared the tools and guides I used volition be at the lesser of this guide.

Note that I am not responsible for any damage made. Go along at your own risk!

Prerequisites:
- A Nokia Lumia 530 running the Windows 8.1 Denim Update (will be referred to equally "device")
- A stable Windows 7 arrangement or VM, with .NET Framework iv.five.x or 4.6.x (on Windows x, the IUTool volition fail to synchronize, hence this requirement)
- An internet connexion that can handle a download of approximately 2GB data on the computer and about the same on the telephone
- A expert USB cable (a flimsy one with a loose fit could brick the device while information technology's updating)
- The programs linked below

Commencement part of the installation:
1. Make sure the device is fully charged. If it'southward not fully charged the device could get (soft-)bricked.

2. Manufacturing plant reset the device, so y'all accept every bit much storage equally possible available on the device. After the reset is done, go out information technology at the language selection screen, because it doesn't do anything at that place.

3. Extract HCTSW_WXMSOUP_V5.3beta6.update.lzma2.7z with 7zip or whatsoever you prefer.

4. Download the Visual C++ libraries from hither: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/ and run the install script.

5. The next thing y'all are going to exercise is download the updates, push button them to the device and install them. This will have some time, simply it depends on your internet connection for the about office. The files will exist downloaded from the official Microsoft servers. Now hither's what to practice: open run_en.cmd and follow the steps. These are pretty articulate, and so I don't recollect I need to betoken all of them out here. Information technology will open a webpage where y'all can download WDRT, you will need to install that for the tool to work.

6. At present you can motility on to the 2d part.

Second part of the installation:
In this part of the installation, you will be updating the device from version 1511 to the latest available build, which should have a working Microsoft shop.

1. The setup of the device. The version that just got installed doesn't accept a lot of options nevertheless, including language packs. If you have a device that's non English language United States, the keyboard will bug out on setup, because it's trying to access a language pack that doesn't exist. Therefore, the beginning footstep, setting the linguistic communication should be English (United States), then the Os itself won't issues out. Once you've set the language (it will prompt to reboot, do that), you lot tin can become through the remainder of the setup. Don't log information technology into your Wi-Fi, don't log it into your Microsoft account and don't turn on automatic app updates. It'll say it needs to set up apps, that takes some time but eventually y'all'll get to the home screen. Now is when you need a few tools, which brings united states of america to step two.

Now is a expert moment for me to point out that, if you take a not-English-The states device, the keyboard for another linguistic communication is still "installed". Information technology can be removed by belongings it in settings -> time and language -> keyboard and choosing "Delete".

2. Installing Interop Tools. In order to go updates, y'all'll need to alter your device a bit. This won't be very difficult, simply it involves some registry modifications so you'll have to pay close attention.

Go to settings -> update and security -> for developers and enable developer mode, so you can sideload the Interop Tools (Linked beneath). Re-create the contents of the Interop Tools zip to the device first. And so, go to the file manager on the phone and go to the directory where you put the files. INSTALL THE DEPENDENCIES IN THE \ARM FOLDER FIRST, And then THE INTEROP TOOLS FILE ITSELF! Bank check if the Interop Tools installed on the "all apps screen" and become ready to open it.

3. Modifying the registry. Open Interop Tools and tap the

"This Device" button. This volition bring up a menu.
3.i. Tap the menu button on the top left corner, then select "Modify Registry". In the "Registry Key Path", put SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo. And so, put PhoneManufacturerModelName in the "Registry Value Name" box and tap the "Read" push button at the lesser. Y'all'll see some text appear in a box. This will need to be edited to the following value: RM-1089_1048. After you lot did that, tap the "Write" button.
3.2. Now put PhoneModelName in the the "Registry Value Name" box and tap "Read" again. Now change the value to Lumia 535 and tap "Write".
3.iii. Leave out of Interop Tools and go to the next step.

4. Logging in to the Wi-Fi and checking for updates.
4.1. Logging it in to the Wi-Fi. Go to settings -> network & wireless -> Wi-Fi and choose your network. Easy peasy probably.
4.2. Checking for updates. This is the part that always went wrong with me, because of storage limits (gotta dearest that 4GB eMMC). But if I've explained this well enough, yous might not have to practise a lot of weird stuff. Oh well, to the educational activity we go. Go to settings -> update and security -> windows update and check for updates. This will take a while! Proceed it on wall power because updating tin can simply be done at twoscore% or more than at this point. I got two updates: from 1511 to early 1607 and from that to late 1607. Maybe you can get a newer version with WDRT or OTC simply I doubt that to be honest.

Hooray! At present yous should have a fully functional Nokia Lumia 530 with Windows 10 mobile!

[Improver] Updating from build 1607 to 1709.

I said it wouldn't be possible and it would break stuff, just I tried it and it doesn't break anything some people say information technology might break. Yeah, it might affect on battery life a flake, only nothing has cleaved for me (yet), it has just improved.

I've learned that the update from 1607 to 1703 is the hardest one notwithstanding, but you should exist able to get information technology going. This is considering the preinstalled Store in 1607 can connect to the app update servers, but it can't view the app. This is a difficult situation considering many apps volition become very large when they get updated. You need to figure out for yourself what gets y'all the space you need, but I found that uninstalling all the apps that can exist uninstalled and deleting system apps through MTP (which tin be done by bootloader unlocking, rooting and booting into mass storage mode with Windows Phone Internals (I recommend that you only delete OneNote, SkyDrive (as information technology's being referred to in /data/program files/windowsapps) and the Xbox app).

Step 0: yous might want to factory reset outset

Let'south go to the updating though…

1. Modifying the registry. Open Interop Tools and tap the

"This Device" button. This will bring upward a card.
1.1. Tap the menu button on the top left corner, then select "Alter Registry". In the "Registry Cardinal Path", put SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo. Now do the exact same as you did before, except apply these "registry value names" and put the corresponding information into the box below that. Don't forget to tap write!
Values you should use:

PhoneHardwareVariant	RM-1104
PhoneManufacturer	MicrosoftMDG
PhoneManufacturerModelName	RM-1104_11210
PhoneModelName	Lumia 950

one.ii. Exit out of Interop Tools and become to the next stride.

2. Logging in to the Wi-Fi and checking for updates.
2.1. Logging it in to the Wi-Fi. Get to settings -> network & wireless -> Wi-Fi and cull your network. Easy peasy probably.
two.2. Checking for updates. Go to settings -> update and security -> Windows Update and check for updates. This will accept a while! Keep information technology on wall ability because updating can only be done at twoscore% or more at this bespeak. I got iii updates, ane from 1607 to 1703, one from 1703 to 1709 and another one from erstwhile 1709 to last 1709.

Yeah that doesn't piece of work. Rename the .bin to .zip, extract, mount the phone in mass storage mode and copy the files to the EFIESP folder/symlink. If you can't practise that, WDRT tin probably unbreak it

• #10

Please anounce me when you lot can upload the dumped partition.

How do you get to the Denim update? I'm getting the fault that I am running a build older than 8.x.14219.341 and need to update first.

You lot can download and flash it in WPInternals (will delete all data so back that upward first) or WDRT (non certain if that erases userdata)

• #eighteen

WDRT already says I'm at the latest version of Windows for my device, so that sucks. I shall try WPInternals! Thanks!
