Lumia 520 freezes on bootup.

[CitroTheWolf]

It boots to the boot manager, but freezes when the spinning dots loads up. Anything I can do?

Hi. Try connecting the phone to WinDBG (download from MS Store) on PC.

Attach to kernel > USB then type in target name WOATARGET. After this, reboot the phone. When it says connected, click Go. Send it's output to me.

I also suspect low memory causing the issue, so consider mounting it's registry and enable the page file.

Okay! Ill try! Thanks!

Im stuck, am i supposed to up click on the windows 10 (debugger) thing?

There! i got it, i think.

[CitroTheWolf]

Also how do i get access to the storage?

[CitroTheWolf]

Im a bit of a newbie to this type of modification, I'm just starting to get my IT credits for college.

[CitroTheWolf]

It seems to be more of a conflict with the oobe?

[CitroTheWolf]

it crashed? WER/CrashExp:363: ERROR Failed to create the process "C:\Windows\system32\WerFault.exe", cmdline "C:\Windows\system32\WerFault.exe -u -p 3656 -s 2208", creationflags 525312, HRESULT 800705AF

Page file too small. Yup.

I think low RAM is the issue. Try increasing the page file size.

You can access phone storage via Mass Storage Mode.

So how do i get into mass storage mode? its usually done by going into WPinternals, but it doesnt show up on wpinternals.

If its possible i can put the pagefile on a SD Card, the storage space is incredibly small

Ive ran windows 10 on 512MB fine, so this is genuinely surprising for me lol

In WPinternals: Click interrupt boot process, then reboot the phone.

A SD Card as it's marked as a removable storage, but you cannot put the page file on a removable storage AFAIK. You don't know the drive letter of the SD Card anyway.

There is a thing called ReadyBoost for removable storage which can help reducing RAM usage, you can enable that after OOBE.

It worked on 512 MB thanks to the page file. Windows 10 ARM somehow fails to create the page file automatically, so you need to add it manually.
