If we can actually bypass interop lock with a non-MS signature, that would be fantastic... and I'd be astonished. That wasn't possible in WP7 (Mango or later, when the interop-lock was present) and isn't possible in Windows RT either.

Can you either send the app, or post a link to where you got it from?

Hi guys,

just wanted to give you all a huge *thumbs up*! You're doing great work here!

I have a Lumia 920 for about 2 weeks now.

So, as i did some Lumia 800 and Lumia 900 custom roms, and became a little "bored" to WP7, i would be happy if i could help you by testing some stuff on my Lumia 920 :)

If you need my help, just let me know :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] IzaacJ:
I know your feeling :P I made WM6.5.x, Android and WinPho 7 roms for the HTC HD2 before I got my Lumia 920 :P

I have a dev unlocked Lumia 820 and can do any testing if required :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
If you are running a Windows 8 PC and can install the Windows Phone 8 SDK, the PhoneReg tool can be found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\Phone Registration

There are some other tools that I haven't poked around at that could be interesting to try and decompile and "re-work" such as the XapSignTool. (I think this might be written in C++ though)

The SDK in its entirety can be downloaded from http://developer.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk. You want "SDK 8.0".
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] IzaacJ:
I'll get my dev unlock in a month. Will get it as a birthday gift :D So by then I'll be able to help out more.

Should've checked the USB port stuff this morning, but I didn't have time for it but will do it when I get home in 2 hours :D

EDIT: Can't seem to find a usable USB sniffer that works under Windows 8, or I've been configuring those I've tried wrong. Enabled TESTSIGNING in BCDEDIT and rebooted, so Test Mode is activated, but no tool seem to work :(

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
The phone itself can communicate with a Windows 7 PC, just not if you want to use the SDK. Perhaps try the same experiment under Windows 7? You might be able to copy the "Phone tools" directory off of Windows 8 onto Windows 7. It uses .net 4.5, so make sure the runtime is installed.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] SynergeTechSolutions:
I have already gone down this road and can fairly confidently say it is a dead-end. The only interesting thing I found was the ability to switch a phone to use the internal Microsoft development authentication servers. Best of luck though - maybe I missed something.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] IzaacJ:
Thats sad. Do you have any data collected from the communications on port 27077? That's what we're looking for right now.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
bummer :(

Any details about what you found out?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Did you see if the internal (test, I assume) server mode used cert pinning? If not, we can spoof those servers and basically re-implement the original ChevronWP7 unlocker (in a more elegant form, too).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] StevieBallz:
Not quite the Goal you want to move to but maybe what you have found out so far can be used to enable Dev Unlocking and XAP deployment to Dev Unlocked WP8 devices from Windows 7. I believe there are quite a lot of developers who would be happy to have that possibility.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
I do know that when you activate dev unlock on WP8 devices, it does it using the Windows Phone IP over USB service ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Phone Tools\CoreCon\11.0\Bin\IpOverUsbSvc.exe"). The IpOverUSBSvc is more or less just a .NET wrapper (I figured this would be the case). If anyone is good at x86 assembly and can get into the IpOverUsbPc.dll, we may get somewhere.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] NielDK:
several tools exists for decompiling DLLs to have a look at the source (which I assume will be .NET)

Reflector is one - commercial - solution, but in Adrian Banks blogs you will find alternatives that are free - and some commercial ones also.

http://www.adrianbanks.co.uk/?p=71
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
the DLL I mentioned is unfortunately a COM dll. I already ran ILSpy against the exe to find that out. We will need someone with x86 assembly experience
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] IzaacJ:
I've got some minor x86 assembly knowledge so I'll have a quick look at it. Hopefully I'll find something,
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Awesome! Let me know if you find anything.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
I received the same PM. I looked through the contents already and came to the conclusion that it won't be THAT much helpful. What we need are the native compiled Dlls looked at (the ones I've listed in my prior replies) in order to see exactly what's going on. A lot of the phone registration .NET files are just COM wrappers.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] :
hey i can try to decompile this

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Phone Tools\CoreCon\11.0\Bin\IpOverUsbSvc.exe
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
As I've said in my previous posts, I've already decompiled this exe since it is .NET compiled. It references a .NET dll that happens to function only as a COM wrapper for a native PE compiled dll. We will need someone that has x86 assembly experience to use IDA Pro or some other tool to disassemble the DLL(s) and see what they are doing. Any file that can be decompiled using ILSpy or dotNetPeak, etc wont be of any use for this. All of the important functionality come from the native compiled DLLs
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ScRePt:
Are you sure? I quickly went through the code and saw that it gets an authcode from https://deviceunlockservice.windowsphone.com/passport/login.aspx?url=/&wa=wsignin1.0 and passes it to the device via standard tcp to unlock. The key is to generate a valid authcode from the service. The above url can be overriden via a registry key in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Phone Registration\8.0\LoginUrlProd. Maybe a reverse custom https service can reveal what the COM code does (not really useful anyway)

What is this sdk anyway? internal or public? There is a lot of code for PROD and INT environments (production and integration?)

There is a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l xap sign tool there too (wrapper around standard signtool). Wasn't there a way to resign a modified .net dll via signtool ... ?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
The xapsign tool is only to sign corporate apps. This would be a good one to possibly reverse, but to answer your first question we still need to know how the tool communicates with the device to unlock it. I saw the deviceunlock service endpoint call, but as you said we'd need to generate a valid authcode. Since the authcodes are handed by the server on Microsoft's end, it might be difficult to know how to generate one unless we can dig unto the COM Dlls and discover the algorithm and/or somehow recompile it to unlock regardless. That might be a little impossible if the DLLs are signed.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ScRePt:
Well, the xapsign tool gives the whole algorithm of how the xaps are signed. the whole structure. it is useful information!

The way the pc communicates with the device is written in .net as I said. It's tcp, in a custom byte protocol that the main data is an authcode. The authcode is retrieved by calling the url via a com dll. So, we could tell the com dll to call a custom service (probably with a trusted cert). We can see what requests are posted. Forwarding those to the real url, we also get the result. So the logic is kind of revealed without digging in the dll. But anyway, I do not think this will get anywhere if the url returns the authcode and the dll just wraps some tcp logic. If the dll has some validation logic, we could brute-force it to also reveal the validation rules. useful info too!

Whether the dlls are signed or not makes no difference... since i do not think ms put their unlock code in a distributable dll and not on their servers.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Oh I imagine they don't have the unlock code in a distributable dll, but I would imagine they have the logic for determining whether the unlock code is in the valid format in one of those COM Dlls. Microsoft puts ENOUGH things in .NET to spark our curiosity, but the bulk backbone of these essential services are in native code. I'm hoping GoodDayToDie will have some time eventually to take a look at it and see what can be done :)

this is great news. At least this is a positive step in terms of potentially modifying ROM dumps to change the Hive. That is what I got from the post on the Huawei W1. Right now, this still doesn't mean that Inter-Op unlock is possible, but this gives us great potential. Perfect way to start my Friday :D
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Assuming interop lock is implemented on WP8 the same way as on WP7 (requires MaxUnsignedApp >= 300 to sideload interop apps) then the Huawei hack permit unlocking just fine. I'm considering ordering one just to hack on and try things... that doesn't directly help us with the rest of the devices though (also, no surprise Huawei was the first to fall; I've never seen Huawei code that comes within shouting distance of the word "secure" which means I really would rather not use it as my day-to-day phone). It's also a chance to look at some other aspects of the system, though, and that might help find breakthroughs that can be used on other devices.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] :
true..

Now that we have a custom rom, we should be able to peek through the files and look for exploits. Then the next step would be to find a way to implement the exploit to a stock phone.

Hello to everyone,first time here and new to this root thing.

That said,I just purchased a LG E970. The phone came unlocked and rooted but don't know if it has recovery system or if bootloader is unlocked. How do I find out?
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Enter in recovery mode and see if you have custom recovery. On optimus G you can't have CWM recovery without unlocked bootloader.
[LG Optimus G (International)] goodmamba:
Solution

Install this application that can automatically boot in recovery mode (if there is recovery installed)

QuickBoot -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot

If there is no recovery installed you have to install FreeGee and unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery with it.

FreeGee -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free

Anyways, even if your bootloader is unlocked and a custom recovery is installed, I strongly suggest you re-unlock and update your recovery to the last version of CWM with the help of FreeGee.

The easiest way to see if you are both rooted and unlocked is to enter in recovery mode.If you have recovery mode, it also means you are rooted.You can't unlock the bootloader if you are not rooted, so checking for root is redundant :).

Now, I'm going to be offered a pad (of my choice) and i don't want a 500$ pad !! So here I am looking for the best chinese pad :D

The probleme is that you cas hardly find the perfect pad !!

All retina are good (chuwi, ainol, onda...) but there are issues with wifi and the chipset (allwinner)

In the other hand, there is the cube U30GT2 which is pretty good but not retina (+ i've seen some wifi issues in some forums)

Hi

Good review. I was looking at getting this table as an upgrade to my momo speed. However, I'm very much into reading and browsing with maybe the odd game. This is why it concerns me that you experienced quite bad lag during your use. However you state in your post at the beginning that a firmware upgrade fixed all that. Can you please confirm if this is the case? I'm really liking this table but couldn't buy it if the lag is there. You would think with quad core it shouldn't be an issue. What is performance of google books like? My books and magazines are loaded there.

hi10p 1080p mkv

Thank you for this superb review.

I'd like to ask whether or not does this piece of hardware manage to play 1080p

10bit

h,264 videos smoothly.

My S3 can't play them smoothly with any player I tried and this would be a big factor for me in choosing whether to buy this tablet or not.

So far from what I understood it varies greatly between high-end devices such as f.e. Nexus 4 (which is apparently also unable to play it smoothly despite having snapdragon 600 + adreno 320 )

Btw. are there even GPUs with 10bit HW acceleration support already ?

NO audio input via 3.5mm headset jack

To my surprise or more like shock I discovered that the V973 does not have the ability to received audio/data input via the 3.5mm headset jack. I have confirmed this with Onda as well. No matter what is plugged into the 3.5mm headset jack, the device enters a headset state of 2, which is headset, no microphone. Instead of the more common headset state of 1, headset and mic. This does not seem to be documented many places, I could only find mention of the other states on stackoverflow, question 7590644 action-headset-plug-not-documented-extra-strange-state. I have not met my minimum post requirement so cannot provide a direct link. Here is what is mentioned in that post on stackoverflow regarding headset states.

0 = unplugged

1 = Headset with microphone

2 = Headset without microphone

Here is output from when something is plugged in

2030-2030/com.android.systemui D/PhoneStatusBarPolicy? updateHeadset: state=0

Normally you will see headsetState=1 not headsetState=2. I am not sure if the v972 also lacks this ability or not. Trying to confirm with Onda. Its pretty pathetic, given there are many uses, such as headsets with microphone, or things like magnetic card readers. None of which can be used with or work on the Onda V973. Otherwise a really nice tablet.
