Jessi Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 So apparently they didn't update the error pages for some Windows 8 issues on the phones. It actually still prompts you to put in an installation disc, which as most of us know, would be impossible on a phone. Oops!

Administrators Nathan Posted January 13, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 13, 2013 Haha, wonder if someone rooted the phone or if it was stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessi Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 It's stock. It's not the normal error that comes up for most issues, though: "Windows Phone Support got involved, basically confirming this as a real error. It's just not one that normal users should ever see. Instead, it's a rather deep-seated error that can only be teased out if you start messing with flashing new firmware. If you were looking for proof that Windows Phone 8 is actually on the NT kernel, this stands as pretty good proof, WMPoweruser points out. That, and it's funny."

bigbigfan Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Is that really an error or was someone attempting to boot the software via a desktop connection? I wish you could see the entire phone in the picture, it may very well be connected to a computer and the error might belong to that. I've never seen that error on a smartphone before.

Jessi Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 It's a real error. If you look at my next post down, I quoted the section where Microsoft says that it's a deep-seated error. It's not something that is going to just randomly pop up....you've gotta go looking for it basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagscot Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm sure there's an additional DVD drive accessory you can purchase from Microsoft and hang on your belt via the Microsoft supplied holster. THEN you can "insert disk" and fix your phone. jk'ing.. Jessi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
