Known errors & limitations

Please do not use diacritical signs when selecting installation path for NCS.
Recovery or Refurbishment Flashing for Lumia Series Devices may fail on first attempt. Please try again, it works the second time around

MSU
• When using Multi SW Updater, the recommendation is to use it with up to five devices that are the same model and start the refurbish to every device simultaneously.
• Do not start 1st flash-round with full amount of devices – instead add gradually 2-3 devices – Fuse can be fragile when 8-16 devices at once tries to create new connection
• When using USB Hub please connect devices one by one to the ascending USB ports – it will help you to distinguish which of them had failed and needs to be recovered by Recovery plugin (check IMEI, USB Port # from UI or follow Action Report log for details)
• Do not connect\disconnect devices while other flashings are in progress – all should be finalized (successful or not) – main reason for fail is USB port enumeration done by OS when changing something
• Additional info for 16 simultaneous flashes: Based on testing with Windows Phone 8 devices please follow the following preliminary recommendations for a PC USB setup for maximum stability and timing of the USB bus:
• Use a PC that has at least four (4) independent USB 2.0 host controllers.
• Connect no more than one powered external USB hub to each host controller
• Each external hub must have its own independent power source, with the capability to supply at least 500 mA per device connected to it.
• Connect no more than four (4) devices to each external hub
