VPN is broken because VpnServices package has been removed. to get it working you need to get

VpnServices.apk from either one of these packages:

Maverick 4.5 : 21635 Bytes

Steel 5.0 : 19607 Bytes

Eclipse 3.0 : 19905 Bytes

they're all based on stock_906. i used Steel-5 and it worked for me. i assume the other two will as well -- not sure why their package sizes differ.

1) open the ROM zip file with an archive utility (i.e. winRAR). goto system/app and extract VpnServices.apk

2) transfer the apk file into the phone

3) use Root Browser (or similar app) to move the apk file to system/app directory.

4) set apk file ownership to root:root

5) set apk file privileges ro -rw-r--r--

6) reboot

:good:

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeki888:
I rooted My phone, OPO, on CM11S, installed TWRP, flashed SuperSU,, and unchecked CM recovery. Everything seemed working fine. Yesterday I installed the just released OTA, I lost root access. I then re-flashed it with SuperSU, gained root access again. However, I am having problems with fastboot. Problem 1, phone won't boot into fastboot mode when I pressed both power and volumn up buttons. Problem 2, adb command "reboot bootloade" will only reboot the phone and fails to put it into fastboot mode. Problem 3, The only ways I can boot the phone into fastboot mode are either via the option in the power menu or via TWRP. Either way, even the phone showed it was in the fastboot mode, it still refused to take the fastboot command. The system responded with "no permission fastboot" instead. How can it be fixed or restored? Thanks for help in advance.

When the phone worked, did you use an app called BOOT UNLOCKER?

If so, your screwed. You will have to find a way back in to unlock it.

ONLY USE THE FACTORY OEM LOCK. Boot locker runs a script bootloader side that you can't change. (that I know of...).

I was able to root my device by installing and running the KingoRoot apk, It does everything by itself, it just needs an internet connection. Easy and safe.
[Android General] Vampzorba:
My THL 5000 with the latest firmware was a bit resistant to rooting.

I tried several tools without success, but the kingoroot apk worked like a charm!

After getting stuck at 30 and 50% for ~30s the progress got stuck at 90% (and I was getting a bit scared) but I didn't touch the phone and waited until after about 2 minutes it jumped to 100% and rooted succesfully. :)

I did the root because I needed to fix the USB OTG, which was not allowing the use of the tiqiaa USB IR blaster with Zazaremote.

After doing the root, I ran the USB Host Diagnostics (Chainfire) and it reported that there was a problem with the OTG USB and offered to attempt a repair.

I accepted it, the phone rebooted and the problem was fixed!

Now I'm the local IR device terrorist! muahahaha

Hi guys,

I tried to implement good old method to block unwanted ads by adding advertising sites to the HOSTS file, on the Sammy ATIV Odyssey (full FS unlock) and it works perfectly ;) But I'm still unsure ('cause I'm developer and do have some ad-based apps in store) - should I post this info? BTW, we do have mods, lets give 'em the rights to decide, delete this thread or not...

So, this method is pretty simple (he-he, same as my very-very first WP7 hack):

1) You muist have an interop-unlocked handset with full FS access

1) Download the latest "blocking" hosts file, for example, from here

2) Rename your download from hosts.txt to HOSTS

3) Connect your handset to PC, navigate to \Windows\system32\drivers\etc folder

4) Paste downloaded HOSTS file, choose "replace" in the copiyng dialog.

5) That's all folks! :D

You don't need to reboot (like on Android phone with AdAway app) - now your handset is ads-free...

If you wanna revert back, just delete \Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS file.

Am I right in assuming that there's no way to interop-unlock a WP8.1 phone like the Lumia 930? At least I couldn't find one...

After some years I did the 2nd attempt to adopt to WP. The first one lasted for a day or so. :) Now, after some days of using the Lumia 930, I really really love it. Not only the device, but also WP8.1. But the fact that there is no way to block ads in browsers is really really annoying. I have no problems with ads in apps, because if I like an app, I purchase it anyway. But I can't "buy away" ads in browsers, and lots of sites get more or less unusable in mobile view and without ads being blocked.

Unfortunately there's not even an alternative browser for WP that would have the capability to block ads... :(

How exactly did you do that? My assumption was that you need interop-unlock in order to access the file system, including the hosts file. If you are not interop-unlocked, I would assume you have some other kind of unlock. Developer-unlock?

[MENTION=5889633]djamol[/MENTION]: I'm curious, how'd you manage to replace the HOSTS file on a non-Samsung phone? Root Tool doesn't allow moving files out of Windows directory, or copying or moving files in, unless you're using the Samsung CRPComponent.

Similarly, while you can get read access to the Windows directory via MTP when using Root Tool, you can't get full FS access; most of the file system (like the Windows dir) will be read-only or even totally unavailable.

I edited the HOSTS file on my Samsung - in fact, I wrote an app to do it, because I had to do it for work sometimes - but that was using CRPComponent or Full FS Access via MTP, neither of which are currently possible on a Lumia using any public hack I know of...

On Lumia device there is a lots of some pretty well arbitrary resources that can allow us to access the "SYSTEM" resources.

I think we had a big miss-understanding about the RPCComponent. because of RPCComponent uses "DeviceIOControl" for registry access and not the RPC functionality. (forgive me if i wrong in my knowledge. I'm a student and new to WP/.Net Platform)

On Lumia Device there is .winmd component known as "Nokia.SilentInstaller.Runtime.winmd" uses "DeviceIOControl" API.

For the "FileSystem" API it works fine without any restrictions which is implemented in "Nokia.SilentInstaller.Runtime.winmd"

But registry access could not getting a well token privileges. we need to find some unlocking trick for registry access (like NonProductionErrors.txt) for that .winmd component to handle the "CreateFileW" function for "DeviceIOControl" API.

About the "Root Tool" App.

There is no update for "Root Tool" app. It is still on the FIRST Release.

Currently I'm working for the "Root Tool Beta" update and I've implemented such resources in my "BETA" build.

I can't do a fast development because of my less/poor Programming knowledge and due to my college busy scheduled.

Thanks.

[MENTION=5889633]djamol[/MENTION]: My apologies, I somehow missed that you'd managed to get file access working. That's great!

Looking at the APIs that NdtkClient.dll imports, I'm pretty sure it's using RPC, not DeviceIoControl (IOCTL). That's not really important, though; both require INTEROPSERVICES. It's just easier to write our own code using IOCTLs than using RPC, but since we already have a client library, hopefully that won't be needed...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
[MENTION=3529492]GoodDayToDie[/MENTION], [MENTION=5889633]djamol[/MENTION]: guys, could you please be a little bit more specific? ;) Do you have a .winmd for this dll or function prototypes (not just exports)? NdtkClient.dll library is already on \Windows\system32? Or it should be ingested to the app package? (in this case, the app will be banned on automatic certification process).

As for the "Root Tool" (published in store), it's not using NdtkClient.dll (as far as I know). The file access via FileSystem.winmd/FileSystem.dll to system areas is read-only...

Could you share your finds to general public here or (at least) in private mail? Thanks!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] djamol:
[MENTION=3529492]GoodDayToDie[/MENTION]

Yes, Both requires ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES.

Can you send me FileSystem's code which is you developed base on the RPCComponent ?

I'll try to port it for lumia using NtdkSvc as possible.

I hope you can port it also for lumia in minutes but I'll try though.

[MENTION=2159229]sensboston[/MENTION]

There is no .winmd file for "NtdkClient.dll". You will find that .dll in extras+info app.

and "NtdkSvc.dll" in this path "C:\Windows\System32\NdtkSvc.dll".

There is a very simple trick to bypass the Store Submission process including with kernel libs.

Even those cap's cant write here until using any System Resources.

"C:\Data\Users\PUBLIC"

But can write here.

"C:\Data\SharedData\OEM\Public"

"C:\PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\OEM\Public"

FileMoveEdit alpha-ish thing

Here you go. It's not been updated in ages, aside from some really minor tweaks I made just now. It's a WP8.0 app; it'll run on a sufficiently-unlocked 8.1 phone, but uses no 8.1 APIs. It also has some known bugs that I really ought to fix, though I'm working on other stuff at the moment.

You can probably get at least some of its tricks working on Lumias, though you may need to drop the symlink functionality as that both requires full capability-unlock and requires editing the NTFS configuration settings in the registry (the same key that, on desktop Windows, is edited by the "fsutil" program).

Some of them will not ... there will always be people willing to leach off a system but some of them might be our next big contributor.

I have personally made cab files available at least 3 times for certain questions, without all the other postings by other people.

Having new threads made for the same question also knocks existing threads down one notch making it harder to find answers when you are looking for something. How you can you justify sticking up for these idiots is beyond me, it makes you look as dumb as them.

Well, if asking for civility makes you dumb then count me guilty as charged.

Your argument does not hold much water. You are saying it only takes 5 minutes to find your answer in search. In fact, that is probably about right by my experience.

On the other hand you are angry with them because their post makes you look down an extra line or maybe even click a button to go to the next page to get to the thread you are looking for. That makes you sound like a bit of a hypocrite. You want them to spend 5 minutes searching so you don't have to be put out by clicking on a button to go to the next page? Think about that for a moment.

I am just saying don't flame them because that will not stop new users from asking silly questions. If your intent is to make some other user not ask a stupid question, you are probably wasting your effort. You are not going to affect the next new user that does not read because they will not read your post to know they will get flamed if they ask a stupid question.

If your intent is to get that person to search, simply tell them it is available in search and make them look. They will learn and you will still accomplish your task of teaching them to read without runing off new users who's first experience here otherwise will be to get a flame back with f*** this you so and so read the GD wikki.
