Windows 10 Mobile Build 10512, 10514, 10536 Download Stuck for Several Users
According to a couple of Windows 10 Mobile users, it seems that downloading Windows 10 Build 10512, 10514 and 10536 takes a very long while to complete. Here are some more details.
A couple of Lumia owners have been complaining that it’s ‘taking forever to download Windows 10 Mobile build 10514 and 10536‘. Here’s what one of them said:
It seems that it is taking forever to download Windows 10 Mobile build 10514 and 10536.1000 on my Lumia 930. It has been eight hours now, and the phone is still at the Downloading updates (0%).
A soft reset has restarted the update, and it has been running for three to four hours now. But even after the soft reset, the download is still stuck at 0%.
My Lumia 625 (spare phone) has finished downloading the two builds but when it is preparing to install the builds, it crashes with an error 0x800705b4. Twice. And after that it doesn’t receive the builds.
So, as we can see, the user did a soft reset but that didn’t help too much. We need to remind that these builds are fairly new, so this kind of issues are ‘natural’, if I can put it this way.
Windows 10 Mobile build 10512, 10514, 10536 download met with problems
Somebody else also weighed in, saying the following:
Mine is says updates are available and shows both:
Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones (10.0.10514.0) and
Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones (10.0.10536.1000).It’s been on “Downloading updates 0%” for hours now, including after several soft resets.
It seems I’m a whole update behind, since two builds don’t usually appear at once, but this is the first I’ve seen of either of these updates being available. Maybe that’s part of the problem?
So, as we can see, these are indeed some annoying problems. If you have experienced them, as well, do leave your comment below and share with us. If you know a fix to these issues, then we’ll be happy to hear it.

Let's keep in touch!
Same issue! Lumia 930
Same problem here with Lumia 830, waiting for MS to fix this somehow..
I’m having the same problem. Tried reset as well. Nothing works.
Same here. Phone sees new builds 10414 and 10536 but the download doesn’t start. Rebooting doesn’t seem to help either. Tried the last two nights a reboot before just letting it sit. Up to now a hard reset seems to be the only option right?
No. Hard reset doesn’t help.
I have the problem that after the download begins preparing the installation and after that I get an error (0x800705b4) and not to do, I need help to see if I can solve this error.
Even I am unable to update in 535. It is in 0% for almost 8 hours now.
My 1020 is stuck in “gears” mode and I can’t reset it. Downloads took a while, but they came ok, been spinning in gears mode for hours. Tried to soft reset, hard reset and magic reset to no avail. Phone Recovery Tool won’t connect to it in gears mode apparently, it may have just bricked my 1020. Hope there’s a solution someone finds for this issue and soon. Don’t mind being a guinea pig, but there are limits to my patience. Patiently waiting and reading what goes on from here.
I have had the exact issue described above, tried all night to no avail. I never had this much trouble with prior builds. POS
I had the same issue with the previous 10512 build.No matter what i did the update just refused to download in build 10166.It was stuck at 0%.Just 2 days back i decided to update my apps from store as my phone was not getting an update.So as i checked the updating apps ,i found “Microsoft .net compatiblity” app to be updated.Once it got updated ,i checked my phone update menu.It turns out while it was showing 0% download complete it was downloading update files in background somehow,and update installation started immediately as soon as that .net compatibility app was updated.and in next 10 minutes my phone was up and running 10512 build.
I tried installing it on my Lumia 720, bit it takes a long time to download it, and when using hours to install I always get the error 0x800705b4.
I had the same problem five times, I have rolled back to 8.1 and that seems to be working OK.
Been downloading for most of a day now. Several soft resets. I did hit 65% at work but the battery died. Now with the news that it takes a long time I am just going to leave the phone on the charger and let it do it’s thing overnight. Nokia 1520.
I was stuck on 0% downloading, so I factory reset my phone and started over. It pretty much took all night, but I presume that’s because I essentially got 3 upgrades. The first two came together and took a very long time. The third went rather quickly. This is on my Lumia Icon.
Same issue. I got as far as 55% then the error and it started all over again. Nokia 1520
Same problem . Detect new build 10414 and 10536 but the download doesn’t start.
any news from your side? got the same…
I back to 8.1 and reinstall imsider and update in 1step at 10536. Now it works fine.
