[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce142:
Did someone contact reker? We need to figure out how he did this. I can't tell if he succeeded into linking an app to the custom app page because when I click install, I get an error message : "This app is not available for your region", maybe I need to change my region to China and try again.

[MENTION=3529492]GoodDayToDie[/MENTION] : Won't the phone be tricked by the store installation, thinking it's an encrypted app? Does it matter whether the app is encrypted or not if someone manages to link an app to a custom app page, because Windows Phone app weren't always encrypted to my recollection (this may predate the WP8 era, if so we're screwed :p). And if it matters, can we encrypt the app ourselves by using a encryption method like AES, SHA, MD5, ... ? Unlikely hypothesis, but if someone would succeed in doing all this, could the SamWP8 tool be used to increase the HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install MaxUnsignedApp value beyond 300 to unlock interop capabilities? Are the EnableAllSideloading.xap and Bootstapper.xap also usable on other WP than Samsung or do they need to be recoded to work on WP of other manufacturers?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenboxal:
EnableAllSideloading.xap and Bootstapper.xap depends on Samsung diagnosis tool and it's RPC server that runs on LocalSystem account that has "unlimited" registry access, it's not available on other manufacturers.

Tonight I will start my experiments on it.

I was wondering how you could flash the bootloader of Android on the Ativ S as the Secure Boot made by Qualcomm is locked by a blown fuse (it's a hardware issue, not only a software issue you must deal with).
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenboxal:
SecureBoot checks signature of the bootloader by a known public key, the case is that Samsumg uses the *same* key for android and wp8 bootloaders.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce142:
If this checks out, what does it mean, could we flash android on the Ativ S? Or could you even make a dual-boot scenario possible? Great find by the way, :good:.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenboxal:

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
[MENTION=5314853]bruce142[/MENTION]: The store may or may not care about the DRM - that was in place by the time WP8 came out, but WP7 didn't have it for a long time - but it absolutely cares about the signatures. More accurately, actually, the XAP install code (which the store invokes) cares about the signatures. There's no "tricking" it; the signature is quite plainly there, or it's not. You don't exactly have to look hard to find it. The app launch code *also* cares about signatures. Non-sideloaded apps won't have ID_CAP_DEVELOPERUNLOCK, which is a special capability automatically added to sideloaded apps to allow them to launch even though they don't have signatures. Without that capability (or rather, without the SID which the token of an app with that capability gets at chamber creation), the kernel will refuse to load the unsigned executable binaries.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce142:
I understand, the app has to be signed before it can be uploaded to the store, but does the developer of an app not sign its app when he assembles it or does the store sign the app itself? I see no threshold here, as signing an app is not a problem, or is it?

I still admire that reker managed to make an app page by using a proxy which isn't normally there and successfully linked an app to it, which I was able to download

and it contained elevated capabilities, I thought the ID_CAP capabilities were all interop capabilities (correct me if I'm wrong). Could someone make the old version of the Samsung Diagnostic tool available this way which users with other WP than the Ativ S/Ativ S Neo might able to use to modify the MaxAppUnsigned value and unlock more capabilities, or is this impossible? If only we knew how reker did this, ...
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th0mas96:
ID_CAP's aren't all Interop capabilities, most of them are available for every app, and the ones you posted are, afaik, normal ones that don't need and Interop Unlock.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reker:
GoodDayToDie is right. His answer is very detail.

You may replace a xap with homebrew one in theory, but phone will never launch a store app without MS signature. Every single dll is signed by MS, and phone will check it.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cevi:
Few questions and opinions:

The signature is used only for allowing the app to be installed on the device right?

Is the signature after added to the app a constant for the whole time or is it changing from time to time?

If the signature is used only for allowing an app to be installed, can we somehow make an virtual MS Server (Using FIddler for example), who can clone the real one and give us an offline signing of the app`s when installing them?

Can a signature be pulled off from an original installed app and the be put in to an another one?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenboxal:
The signature is checked when running the application, every PE image on the device should have a valid digital signature.

You don't seem to understand how it works, the signature is any kind of hash, let's say, SHA256, of the entire file. This signature is encrypted with the signee private key. If you change one single bit of the file, the hash will change, and so the signature will be invalid.

There are few ways to exploit this kind of security, like generating a hash collision or breaking the private key, both would take million of years.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cevi:
I do really don't understand the whole process I was just giving some noob suggestions. :)

It's strange for me that after the app is installed it doesn't require an active network to start.So I am wondering if it could be possible to trick the app to start somehow?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
While suggestions are always welcome, you really should read up on digital signatures and how they work. [MENTION=5387337]greenboxal[/MENTION]'s explanation seems like it might have gone over your head a bit... The fact that you didn't understand about ID_CAP_* also means you've probably never looked at WP development, or even looked at the manifest of a WP app, either; you may want to do some of that. Until you do so, it would be only by the sheerest crazy luck that you managed to hit on a solution, because you don't even know what you're actually trying to accomplish!

For example, it's pretty obvious why there's no need for a network connection to start an app, once it's installed. There's a license on WP apps, which is checked when the app is installed (requires Internet access) and is then valid for some time (never checked how long exactly, probably years though). The signatures are different. When the app is installed, the signing certificate (which contains the public key, but not the private key, of the keypair used to sign the app) is extracted from the app and checked to see whether it is trusted by Microsoft (the phone has Microsoft's certificates embedded in the OS; it doesn't need a network connection for this). When you try to launch the app, it checks to see whether the signatures on each binary (which are, as greenboxal mentioned, created by taking the cryptographically secure hash of the binary and then applying something like encryption to it using the private key) are valid (it applies the public key to the signature to get the signing hash back, and checks whether that hash still matches). We (developers) can't fake store signatures ourselves, because we don't have Microsoft's private keys. Therefore the phone wouldn't trust our signatures (make sure you read up on the concept of a "chain of trust" and the concepts of public key cryptography and public key infrastructure in general too) and would refuse to load the binaries. The process of verifying signatures is just a bunch of math once you've already got the public keys, and those are, as I said, extracted from the app at install (for individual apps) and stored in WP8 itself (for the Store-wide signing key); no need to access the network.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jvcjbl:
I purchased the iBolt XProDock for my Galaxy S4 and it works fantastically. I just got off of the phone with Verizon and they are swapping out my S4 to a HTC One due to on going issues I've been having. I have been looking at cases and what not for the phone and realized that I have the car dock that I use regularly since I travel quite often for work. I know the phone will physically work with the dock as far as fitting, but I am curious if the cabling will work. It is the same micro usb connection so I know it will fit, but I am wondering if it will put the phone in "dock" mode like it did on the Samsung? The cable I got also has the headphone jack on the other end for connection to the aux port in the car. Does the HTC One support audio out through the USB port like the S4?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
It supports audio through the usb but you need an otg or whatever it's called cable.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jvcjbl:
I have basically that cable (I think) that is a part of the iBolt dock. It takes it from micro-usb male to mini-usb female. Basically the same cable the iBolt dock uses. Only different is it has clip points to connect it to the back of the dock and it is rigid so it can be shaped and held in proper place for connection to the phone.

Then that cable connects to a male mini-usb that has a male usb and male mini-plug (head phone jack).

I'm assuming this will work once I get the correct cable (first image) that will put the phone in dock mode. The current cable is for my old S4 and it put the phone in dock mode and supported audio thorugh USB output.

Just as a side note, can you show a picture of the cable your taking about?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
Why not just search USB OTG cable?

Hi,

Got an GT-I9300 from Amazon just to discover that is a SGH-I747M but tweaked to show it as a 9300.

Now I'm stuck in 4.04 and can't upgrade to 4.1.2, tried stock 747m ROM but odin upload fails. Ofcourse Kies upgrade is not available.

Any way to solve this?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Before you attempt to flash anything, download an app to verify which processor or amount of ram you have. If you flash the wrong thing, you'll end up with a nice shiny paperweight.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] japi2000:
I'm pretty sure is a 747, if you check the screenshots I posted, the phone has 2 cores (vs 4 of the 9300) and more RAM than the 9300.

Yes, check the posted screenshots. Says hardware is 747
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
Your links aren't working to for me to see the pics but if the hardware is i747 then you will only want to flash i747 ROMs. Its a fairly simple matter to edit the file descriptors to change the information that shows in the about phone menu. I have been seeing alot of this from recent Amazon S3 purchases, sounds like some kind of scheme to make more money.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] japi2000:
Just replace the spaces in the original post links

I've tried with 747 roms without luck, thats why I'm asking what I should do in this case :)

I'm pretty sure that I'm not the first wanting to have the correct ROM
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
Ahh silly me, didnt notice the space :P

Anyways, it has the correct gpu/chipset to be an i747, so your suspicions are correct. The next question is what isn't working when trying to flash to stock? Error codes etc.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] japi2000:
Dont worry. I put the space because this forums blocks links for new users :(

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Quarmzz:
Yeah, similar issue here. About Phone says i9300. When I booted into download mode, it said SGH I747. When I tried using GooManager to install a custom recovery, it detected the phone as 'd2can'. I'm bewildered.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
d2can is an i747m aka the canadian version which is identical to the us variant hardware wise.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Quarmzz:
All right. I wanna flash a custom recovery. Which do u suggest?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
Before i did anything i would make sure that you are able to flash a stock rom in case of any problems.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Quarmzz:
And that brings us to my other question: Which ROM is gonna be the stock ROM? The i747 in the Download mode screen?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
I would recommend following the steps in this thread to verify the hardware is infact that of an i747, if so use Odin the flash a stock i747 rom of your choice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
Except 4.3 stock unless you want to be there for a while(can not downgrade) and face a whole world of hurt if you are not using your exact carriers modem/bootrom.
