From PC World: The latest Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones build added the new Spartan browser and a ton of universal apps, but it appears to have introduced some severe problems, as well. Microsoft’s halting availability of the Windows 10 Preview on the most popular Windows Phone in the world, as well as two other models, after numerous reports of a crippling bug bricking users’ handsets.
Here’s what a Microsoft employee had to say in the Windows Insider forum, as first spotted by Windows Central:
“We are seeing some reports of failures on Lumia 520/525/526 devices when trying to roll back to Windows Phone 8.1 using the Windows Phone Recovery Tool. We are pausing build availability for these devices temporarily while we investigate the issue and work with customers who have reported problems.”
The message sparked a slew of complaints from Windows Phones owners who say they’ve had crash-prone experiences with Windows 10 on those devices, and then bricked their devices completely when attempting to go back to Windows Phone 8.1 using the Recovery Tool.
