Changes & Error corrections from previous version
PC must be on-line in a sense that at least Ethernet connection with internal network or other PC needs to be configured and working. Internet connection is not required.
Driver installation for Fuse drivers takes very long time so windows automatic driver installation is recommended to be disabled.
Go to: Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Hardware -> Device Installation Settings-> Never install driver software from Windows Update.
The necessary functionality of NokiaUsbReqTool.zip is integrated into this release.
It is meant for resolving occasional Lumia refurbish failure on Windows XP machines.
The root cause of the refurbish failure is that device driver installation can’t be finished in time on XP.
Device gives timeout after 30 seconds. After driver installation has failed once, every retry will fail on the same port with the similar devices.
With NokiaUsbReqTool.zip, serial number can be ignored with device PID. In practice it means that drivers will be installed only once per physical port.
When servicing Nokia Windows Phones / Lumia Series devices Microsoft Zune installation is not required anymore
