Increase App Deployment Limit

I have a Dev. account which only gets me 2 unsigned apps at a time.

To sideload more than that I have to use the microSD trick, but that requires me to move apps from the phone to the SD memory every 2 apps, and even restart the phone, as you might already know..

Anyway, my question is:

Is there any way to increase the app limit? :confused:

(I've already heard about the students dev. acc. which gives 3 apps, and a paid dev. acc. which gives you 10; so, I'm not really looking for the paid alternative, and 3 apps is almost the same as I already have and not worth the trouble of changing dev. acc....)

Thanks, :good:

EDIT: I'm on a Lumia 820 :B

Also, does this interop-unlock has any chance of working on any Lumia? (considering going back to my Lumia 710 :'c)

Again, Thanks :D

EDIT#2: Got the limit to 10 apps using the chinese tool (aiyingyong(?)) described on another website :B

Still, 10 is great but if anyone know of something better ;)

That is all, :D
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] djamol:
You can increase the Value of "MaxUnsignedApp" to whatever but your Device must be Jailbreak or at least Interop Unlock. Then you can edit the registry values.

But still there is no any Interop Methods for newest Nokia Lumia Devices Instead of Hardware method.

Is it useful?

LINK

/NOEXECUTE This option is only available on 32-bit versions of Windows when running on processors supporting no-execute protection. It enables no-execute protection (also known as Data Execution Protection - DEP), which results in the Memory Manager marking pages containing data as no-execute so that they cannot be executed as code. This can be useful for preventing malicious code from exploiting buffer overflow bugs with unexpected program input in order to execute arbitrary code. No-execute protection is always enabled on 64-bit versions of Windows on processors that support no-execute protection. There are several options you can specify with this switch:

/NOEXECUTE=OPTIN Enables DEP for core system images and those specified in the DEP configuration dialog.

/NOEXECUTE=OPTOUT Enables DEP for all images except those specified in the DEP configuration dialog.

/NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSON Enables DEP on all images.

/NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF Disables DEP.

Hi, unlike gdr3 I saw you changed the value and the key path to interop (MaxUnsignedApp.). added and modified several values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Microsoft\DeviceReg by adding a subkey (ATIV_SOFTWARE) in the path that I've never seen in the registry of gdr3.. at this point I would ask you, by chance with gdr1 have changed the structure of the registry?

Open MMOS partition of retail device and you'll see them.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Whoa, there are a lot of potentially *REALLY* handy files in there. If they're retail-signed (unlikely, but I can hope...) then we should be able to get them working on retail phones. If not retail-signed, they may still be useful though we'd need to run them in a chamber with ID_CAP_DEVELOPERUNLOCK (I'm still hoping I can manage to get that cap onto a service chamber; that would be awesome).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Not sure why you highlighted the fact that the SD card, which has a nice simple identifier, is mounted as drive D: since that's not exactly news. I'm much more interested in why you have drives E, F, and G; WP8.1 mounts the Data partition at U: (as well as at C:\Data), and there are a few other partitions which are mounted off of C:\EFIESP, C:\DPP, and C:\MMOS that could also have been assigned drive letters, but I wouldn't expect it to be those drive letters.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Because he is running custom CSC. Btw, he's the author of this tweak. Setting drive letters to partitions allows you to see 'em via MTP.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Aha! Clever. Would have tried that myself, except for the inability to set binary-type registry values on my Samsung (short of CSC, which I never tried).

Still wish I knew why MTP doesn't read through volume mount points like C:\EFIESP correctly. It *should* but it doesn't.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
Maybe It is well known but I didn't see anywhere to post it

HKLM\SoftWare\Microsoft\SecurityManager\WindowsCapabilities

you can see usb or some other capabilities didn't mentioned in Visual Studio

I tried to add them manually to AppxMainfest (like what we do for ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES ) I get warning and after trying to Install I get Error :

Error 4 App manifest validation failed. Value 'usb' of attribute '/Package/Capabilities/Capability/@Name' must be a valid capability. C:\Users\****\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\SomeTest\SomeTest\Package.appxmanifest 37 17 SomeTest

any idea about this capability or how to use it ?

is there any chance to add a new capability here ?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
That looks more like an error of packaging than an error of installation. Visual Studio raises similar complaints if you try to build a .XAP file with "secret" capabilities.

That registry key (which is new to 8.1) maps WinRT capabilities to SIDs. Some of those SIDs are for existing Windows Phone capabilities (like location; pretty sure that's the same SID as ID_CAP_LOCATION); others are new.

This should be investigated!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
I packed it without "usb" capability . then add this cap to the Related xml file in appx

after trying to install I get same error as Visual Studio .

seems for WP8.1 store apps there is a check before deploying file ! Deployer first capabilities *Then* phone checks the capabilities or also maybe phone doesn't check for them ! I'm not sure about it but I know there's a before deploy cap check .

maybe adding Capabilities SID as Silverlight apps can help us to get higher access easier .I'll try and notice if there were any good news

how do i ever know that my phone is interop , after hardreset as per the instructions , everything is normal. how do i tweak or install thirdpary xap and change reg info.

Kindly help me please....
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
and we must guess which phone you have???

if you have Lumia phone, for interop unlock your phone must have Sd card... if not you cant interop unlock...

first: you need developer unlock (pay or free)

second: you need to install WP SDK 8.1 (full or lite) to computer

third: you need to unlock phone with tool from WP SDK 8.1

fourth: now you can deploy xap files to phone or SD (depend to settings in storage sense where to install app) with tool from WP SDK...

Can't get to understand how do I add ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES capability on Windows 10 Mobile.

I have a Samsung ATIV S with 10.0.10586.164 on it.

I've used WOLF's InteropUnlocker_W10M.xap app to internal memory, ran it on the phone and now it says:

Obviously I don't because when I run any app that requires Interop services, I get an error, or I simply cannot deploy the app. For example, if I start vcREG, it returns:

If I use CustomPDF Registry Editor + Tweaks and navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SecurityManager\Capabilities, I don't see ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES Multistring value there. And I cannot add it myself, because there is no change access to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SecurityManager\Capabilities key.

Everywhere on the forum it says that absence of ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES capability means that, obviously, the phone is not interop-unlocked.

On Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 I used the old trick:

1. Installed CustomWPSystem to internal memory.

2. Installed Preview For Developers to the SD card.

3. Placed CustomPFD.xap anywhere on the phone (either SD Card or Phone's internal memory)

4. Opened CustomWPSystem and deployed CustomPFD to the SD card.

The CustomWPSystem app replaces files of Preview For Developers with CustomWPSystem and you're good to go.

How is it done on Windows 10? The old September version of extras + info app can be downloaded from Microsoft CDN through apps4fun... but I cannot deploy it. Seems like its XAP is not accepted by Deployment tool (and for some reason it cannot be opened as a ZIP archive; what's wrong with it.)

How do you add ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES capability on a SAMSUNG ATIV S phone running Windows 10 Mobile?

Could somebody please elaborate?

Thanks.

:good:
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Just to keep you all in the loop: I'm still working on a bunch of possible approaches for a really usable root unlock. In the mean time I will release an app (hopefully in the next day or two) that unlocks all capabiltiies on the OS (far more than even interop-unlock allows; some of them are extremely powerful too). Actually, it will probably be a pair of apps; the first will be a Samsung-specific one that bootstraps the process, and the second will be one that uses the bootstrapped capability to make a bunch more registry edits (which will be done just using my NativeRegistry library; nothing Samsung-specific at all! Not that it will be useful to non-Samsung phones until we find another interop-unlock exploit, though).

In the meantime, I have a bunch of ideas for getting full permissions universally. Heathcliff74 has done some great work by modifying system binaries, but that risks running afoul of signature checks (possibly fixable using an exploit like the RT jailbreak, but not easy) and Secure Boot if used on retail devices. I'm hoping to find a different way. Turns out that just having TCB privileges doesn't remove all the restrictions from an app. I'm working on it though!

Also, this has precisely zero, nothing, and zip to do with the bootloader. I need to do some reverse engineering of the Nokia apps, and possibly of other Wp8 cade, to find anything that can be exploited. This takes time and has no guarantee of success, much less any ability to estimate how long it takes. I could discover three new interop-unlock by Monday. I could never find another one in my whole life. There's no point even asking questions like that.

I have published apps which add the ability to sideload apps using *all* the capabilities that the OS supports, even the ones which were intended for Microsoft's internal use only. These capabilities are not documented publicly, but are described in the XML files that are found at \Windows\Packages\PolicyFiles (use the webserver to extract them if you don't have a handy ROM image).

I've attached the source code to this post. Note that the bootstrap app requires the Samsung RPCComponent (which can be found in the bootstrap app's XAP) and the EnableAllSideloading app is built using the current version of the NativeRegistry library.

Many thanks for all your work. Both of your xap´s I could run successfully.

Although I allready have 2 WP8 devices (Lumia 920 + Lumia 925) I just bought an Ativ S at amazon because of the great progress here.

Good to see that Heathcliff is working together with you to get the Ativ S full-unlocked.

Maybe a stupid question:

In case the device will get full-unlocked can I use the WP7 Root Tools SDK again ?

I would like to port my WP7 projects to WP8, so I need access to the file-system.

Cheers

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
No, the WP7 native SDK works completely differently from native access on WP8. That's part of why I created the NativeAccess libraries for WP8, though; they are perhaps less "polished" than the WP7RTSDK, but they work fine where permissions are available, and I'm expanding them as needed (for example, the filesystem one now supports symbolic links, the registry one supports binary values, and there's a new processes one that supports killing processes).

The Nokia Music app may have specific hooks into the system via nokia specific system drivers so that's why it might not work. Also I know that in a few of their DLLs they have code to check whether the phone is a Nokia or not. They may be utilizing this and blocking non-Nokia phones from using it.
