2. We then go down to the last official ROM available for Z1. Now for the stock free of Central Europe, is the version we 14.2.A.0.290. Here you have it .
3. After Flash-tools have already downloaded the previous ROM and install the first and then copy the file from the firmware (it's a FTF file) in the "firmwares" folder where you installed the Flash-tools. Usually C :/ flash-tools / firmware /
4. Now something very crucial for the future of our operation. Our Z1 must be recognized by the computer . To do this, having already downloaded the file and installed Flash-tools, we see that in the installation folder we have another called "drivers." We go to the Device Manager and see how your computer will have an unrecognized or stockings with yellow asterisk device. We will update the driver by selecting the content in this "drivers" folder of which I spoke above files.
5. Taking the terminal detected correctly, and within the application Flash-tools will press the "Flash" icon (the black lightning top left). We ask in which way we want to flash and choose the "Flash-mode" option. still not mobile connect .

How to create a bootable USB from any ISO

 

Creating a bootable USB has become very common. More than once it has happened to us that we have been to install an operating system and could not find the installation disk or was shredded.

Even we can also come to think it's silly to buy a CD to save an OS and not to use it more often. Because of all these situations and many more were invented boot-able USB.  Well, today we will learn how to create one.

 

 

For several years now we can take our Platform in our pocket or keychain. I mean keep our Platform USB ready to install on any PC.

And although, as I said, is nothing new, many people either do not know how to copy it or deny it for the sake of the CD, today we show you how quick and easy it can be to install an operating system on a USB.

Previously did a tutorial in which we explained how to install Windows 8 from a USB , but following this tutorial we can install any OS and any distribution. Not just the typical Windows or Linux, but also can install Backtrack, Ubuntu or open-SUSE, to give some examples.

What we need

• A formatted USB.
• A bootable ISO image of the operating system you want to install.
• The program UltraISO .
• A BIOS that supports booting from USB (Although for several years, all support it).

How to create a bootable USB

1. 'll start installing UltraISO and connecting our USB memory.

Two. Once installed, I opened UltraISO and we select the image you want to copy to the USB.

Three. we click on Boot and select Burn disc image.

April: Upon previous step a window will appear. We seek paragraph unit and select the drive where our memory is mounted USB and finally click on Save.

May: Done! We already have our bootable USB with the OS ready to install.

Now we can take our favorite operating system in our jacket pocket ready to install in the situation that you least expect.

How to install from USB

1. We insert our USB, if any expelled. We turn off your computer and enter the BIOS.

The process to access the BIOS varies depending on the computer, but usually when you start a small legend appears at the bottom showing the key you must press to access the BIOS.

February. Section Boot USB select first choice , or specifically the USB that contains the OS as I do.Depends on the BIOS screen varies, but they are practically the same. Save and left.

March. Once your PC is started, begin installing our operating system . From here we just need to follow the steps you indicate the installation guide.

After following these few steps, and we have learned to create a bootable USB and install it . We can see that it is extremely easy and has many more advantages than a Live CD, plus you can use it for any OS.

How to convert Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows Phone 8 on Nokia Lumia

Windows Phone 8.1 has been the center of attention during these weeks. Despite only being available version for developers , many of you have upgraded to this preview.

This version of the operating system and finally promised has not disappointed thus integrates many upgrades and customization.

But most of them are happy with the upgrade, there will be people who wish to return to Windows Phone 8 . Whether problems with battery life , others with the camera or simply for the stability Windows Phone 8 provides.

If you tried or do you think we should say that restoring factory settings does not work to perform thedowngrade phone. All that will achieve is to erase our data.

To make the downgrade is necessary to reinstall the firmware and we can do it in two ways, via Nokia Software Updater or Nokia Care Suite . Before carrying out the process, we must consider the following:

• These methods work only on Nokia Lumia phones.
• Both methods will erase all your data from the phone.
• We should make a backup.
• Have your device fully charged.

Via Nokia Software Updater

The procedure to do the downgrade with NSU is the same as upgrading to Nokia Lumia Black. Download the program , run it and connect your phone. NSU will recognize it and give to update, upgrade and wait patiently.

As you can see in the video, the procedure is very simple, if you have doubt, you can check out our article where we explain step by step , follow the instructions and you will have Windows Phone 8 on your device again.

While many have worked for them, not us NSU helped us make the downgrade , I try to make two phones and in none of the cases resulted. Both phones were Nokia Lumia 920.

Via Nokia Care Suite

Similarly happens with NSU to make a downgrade by NCS , continue the same steps to upgrade to Nokia Lumia Black.

We have to install the program, download the firmware you wish to use, connect the device and install. Can you visit the main article where you more detail the procedure thoroughly.

In the case of Nokia Care Suite, the downgrade worked perfectly , I realized what a Nokia Lumia 920 with a firmware for Nokia Lumia Black, a free version for Mexico.

As previously stated, these procedures are carried out under the responsibility of the conduct , despite rarely occur, may damage the device, so if you are not sure do not do it.

As I write this article, I'm updating my phone again to Windows Phone 8.1. In spite of that the battery lasts less and the resolution of the camera is concerned, is a great upgrade and I loved it.

How to install downloaded applications in Windows Phone 8.1 Store

With the arrival of Windows Phone 8, I get a method by which we could install applications on our phone from SD card. 

Thus, we could save the download application using mobile and space involved in the memory of the phone during installation.

But only apps downloaded from the Windows Phone Store, and maintaining connection to the store because it was checking if we had permission to install it.

Yes, all holders of a terminal that does not have SD card, could not make that method.

With Windows Phone 8.1 , the possibilities have increased and it is now possible:

• Install applications on SD card through our terminal to save space on the phone memory.
• Move installed to SD card or SD card applications being able to free up the phone and installed applications.

But can we still install downloaded from Windows Phone Store applications? Well the answer is yes, and that point has also improved. Now not only the owners of an SD card terminal can perform the installation , but also those with only internal storage.

To do this, simply copy the downloaded file to the root of the phone or the root directory of the SD card.

Once you've copied the file, we'll go to the Windows Phone Store.

Click on options and see an option that had previously not now appears to install local applications. If we click on it we get a list of applications and is compatible and can install it we can select.

It is a good method if we unloaded a heavy application as it can be a game in hand even gigas and we have to install it on multiple terminals.

Now available even without SD card terminals. Of course, we can only install applications we can install from the store itself .

You knew this new method to install applications?
