last time I did an update the apps were still there but not functional and therefore you can't apply the interop unlock. You have to repeat the procedure.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

not sure what you are trying to do. Some posts here are weeks and months old. Didn't see this in recent ones.

assuming you have the aet.aetx file

1- copy this file and paste inside your documents on the phone.

2- pick your favorite file manager app on your phone and browse to documents

3- choose the file and open it.

Thank you, I was trying to get WPPT work (the one that comes as part of VS community) cause I wanted to deploy dummy.xap, however I managed to do so using wp 8.0 sdk vice 8.1, so at the end I did not need it anymore. Furthermore another friend pointed me to a stand-alone version of WPPT 2.83 (if I remember correctly) and this one allows me to connect the phone..

so Thank you guys for your support!

this is only few possibility... you can change many things in registry, system, install homebrew (and pirated) apps... just read forum and you find what you do...

Thank you,i saw them. but won't this interop let the users install xap file.. or is there any other way to install.

what is power tool can do.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
you dont need interop to install xap file (developers app or pirated)

developer unlock is enough to install xap files but developer unlock is limited

with interop unlock no limits...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ifraz:
Unable to install any Xap files.

should i use any software tools in PC to install them, i have unlock also .

Please help
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
i already explained all (and many times on forum)

you must install SDK (computer) and dev unlock phone.... after that you do interop unlock...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Vukile:

before

I uninstall Extras & Options?

What's the difference between place and deploy? I did everything right till the 5th step but the phone does not allow me to open CustomWPSystem from the internal storage :(

(using pure WP 8.1)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] derausgewanderte:
if is indeed installed on the internal storage then it either didn't install correctly or is corrupted. I suggest you repeat the steps.

what are you using to deploy the app? Maybe try a different deployer (WP App Deploy 8.0 f or 8.1).

good luck

The extras+info app got an update, disabling the ability of installing it to SD card.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sandix:
How do we work around that, can this software patch a different app?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sagargjasani264:
Yeah.. Same here.... Extras and info now cant be installed on sdcard... Store gives warning that this app cant be installed on sdcard... What should we do now?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
maybe deploy older version (patched vREG xap) helps that? anyone want try?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sandix:
Deploying and older version of vcREG wont work because it still will not have the proper permissions to access the different registries (Which is why it initially needs to replace Extras+info to do the initial interop and cap unlock)

Deploying an older Extras+Info app just results in an error, so that wont work either.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] tfwboredom:
If you grab an earlier version of "regulatory" (extras+info) from the Store, you won't be able to sideload it because of PlayReady DRM
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] reksden:
can you hard reset; don't update Extras+Info!!!

after inistalling VCreg.

ps after resetting the application is reset to the version in the phone. WITHOUT UPDATE.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sandix:
Doesn't help the fact that the app needs to be removed in order to install vcREG, unless there is another way of moving that app to the sdcard.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] reksden:
restores the new or older version?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sandix:
Tried that, the old xap's wont deploy to the phone (because caps is still locked, the app requires certain caps that are only available to store apps.)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] derausgewanderte:
did you try the Preview for Developers route? Short of finding the original post, here is one that describes the procedure. Start with Process Part 1 Preparation point 5). You will have PfD patched to access the registry.

PfD doesn't support vcreg and romrebuilder. It's just for CustomPfD. So with new Extras&Info MS close this jailbreaking hole =(
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] augustinionut:
Change vcreg wpmanifest to point to app page instead off setting page.

It is interesting though that I can use Storage and move the new version of Extras + Info to the SDCard and it is running fine from it. Could that be a potential workaround?

I am running W10M 10536 on Lumia 640XL.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] tfwboredom:
Quite possibly, I can't get Extras & info to show up in the list of Apps in Storage Sense though. What device are you using and what WP version?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] derausgewanderte:
Added info above. Running latest W10M build on 640XL.

Just rebooted and checked Storage app again. Extras & info not on phone anymore but on SDCard. I know it's the updated version of it because it recognizes Windows 10 and shows 3.15.3.54 in application version.

cheers
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] tfwboredom:
Ah, I was trying it on a 635 on 8.1
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sandix:
That is a bug with Windows 10M - Windows 8.1 will never show Extras+Info in the Storage Sense again (M$ is trying to stop us from interop unlocking!)

Our best bet would be to patch Preview for Developers because it is still allowing installation on the SD Card.

But for now, until a new exploit is released, Extras+Info will not work for interop unlock just for the sheer fact that it needs to be moved to the SDCard BEFORE W10M upgrade.

If you upgrade to W10M and then do the interop unlock it MIGHT still work, but for Windows Phone 8.1 users (Like some who do not want W10M yet) this method no longer works.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] vcfan:
new version for w10 mobile (vcREG_1_2_W10.xap). turn on developer mode in the settings, then sideload with wp8 xap deployer.No SD card or extras+info required. have fun until ms disables it too :D
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snooper88:
Hi, I have recently interop unlocked on 8.1 following the procedure at the beginning of this thread and installed WPTweaker in order to get the ability to save maps on SDcard. I see that now it is available a vcReg for W10M. How am I supposed to proceed? Should I just update to the W10TP and then install vcREG_1_2_W10.xap or I need to go through the all procedure like I did on 8.1? Any help? Thanks in advance
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] vcfan:
nothing needs to be done on 8.1 to sideload the w10m version. works on fresh install.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snooper88:
Thank you vcfan, so I just update to W10 and then I install vcREG_1_2_W10.xap?

Im on win10 and have enabled developers option.

Am i doing somdthing wrong?

you have installed WP SDK?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ubejd:
Hello guys

I used the first version to unlock my lumia 1520 wp 8.1 - if i hard reset my device the unlock will be deleted.

So my question is : Is it save to upgrade to windows 10 without doing a hard reset in the beginning and doing so after the upgrade ?

Best regards from me
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
if you planing to upgrade to Win 10 Insider, no worry about interop unlock... just deploy vcREG_1_2_W10.xap if you make hard reset..
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] tinybilbo:
Hi,

Thank you for your reply,

I have the WP8.1 SDK Tools Lite Setup Av1.20.zip (on Win7, Win8.1, and Win10), which I think I found somewhere on this forum...

I'm happy to install the full SDK, I just find the MS site a little confusing, and am a little unsure of what to install.

Should'nt this just deploy from SD, I can certainly get a few games to install via SD...

What should I be looking for after it has installed?

Many Thanks (again!)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
you cant install homebrew/patched xap files via SD... only with deploy from PC...

if you want install full SDK, download this https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=532606&clcid=0x409

when installing, dont forget select WP tools from features
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] tinybilbo:
Thanks for that pointer...

I had to clear up a little space on my c: drive before I installed it!

It seems to have changed though...

I've had a look though and still can't quite work out where the deployment tools is!!!

Anyone know what to do next?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
wow from 6 to 13 GB... LOL...

dont know what you run but i triend and show WP tools from my screen...

btw here is setup in attachment
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] tinybilbo:
Thank you for the setup file, unfortunately I still get the 13gb install!!

(I have fully uninstalled, and rebooted and used your setup attachment)

I guess something has changed on MS's side for new installs...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] tinybilbo:
Ahh... Well that would explain it...

A quick question, I'm not sure what how to deploy the xap...

I find the whole thing a little confusing....!

Can you you please point me in the right direction...

Guys, I have a question. I restarted my Lumia 532 today

and now the screen just stays black after the bootup logo

and inserting the PIN. The signal looks functioning though,

but there are no tiles appearing.

Could that be due to the vCREG interop thing, that I am

using, too?

Any idea to get that handset working again?

Still WP 8 or 8.1, btw. I do not even know, when the WP 10

update is coming for the 532 model.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ca_guri01:
Remove your sd card and then restart ur phone, if that too didn't help then go for hard reset or reflash ur phone with WDRT.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] xsycox:
Okay, rebooting without SD card did not help.

Hard reset means losing all settings and data, correct? :(

Okay, I did the hard reset like described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAb4DtkCXEs

Guys, the following steps in the tutorial are not working anymore,

because extras & infos has been removed from the web site:

7.Under "select target app", choose "Extra & info", then click download from store. It will take you to the windows store page for "extras+info". Hit install, and when its done installing, click back a few times to go back to CustomWPSystem the way it was.

8.tap "select the xap" and the filepicker will come up. tap "sd card", then tap "vcREG_1_1_BOOTSTRAP.xap"

9.tap "Apply XAP".

It is not in the store anymore, I guess or they changed the name/ID and

therefore your app is not working.

... and therefore it is not possible to conclude the interoplock procedure

and open it up. :\

When clicking "download from store" it says "page not found"

or something like that.

Any news about your full unlock on WP 8.1?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sandix:
Plug the phone into the computer

Open Devices and Printers

Right click your phone -> Remove Device

Unplug the phone for 30 seconds (Maybe more or less.)

Plug phone in, wait for drivers to install (5mins + depending on your computer)

MTP should be working

If not:

Follow steps 1-3 and then unplug and REBOOT both phone and computer then proceed to step 5.

This worked for me on multiple occasions while unlocking, or upgrading my device.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Gh0s7_Dj:
Do you know if there's a way to make it work with another app?

Maybe Call+SMS Filter since it has ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES capability and it can still be installed on the sd.

I know that you're moving to 10 but it'll take some time before 10 will be ready for everyone, so having a working unlock now will still be useful.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] TrueMetalGeek:
Hey guys I have a question.

I am looking for a registry editor to use on my Nokia Icon with WP10 latest build.

When I download vcREG_1_2_W10.xap I get the zipped folder and unzip it but there doesn't seem to actually be a .xap file for the WP8 deployer tool to open.

Am I missing something simple here or what?

I just wanted to try to tweak the registry to unhide the MMS settings so I can get picture messages while using the phone on T-Mobile.

I tried another registry editor that I got to load but it didn't change the value. Maybe my phone is locked and I can't but I wanted to try again.

Thanks.

**EDIT***

It was IE renaming the downloads to .zip

I downloaded with FIREFOX and then it vcREG was able to deploy.

Just got my Nokia ICON to finally send MMS picture text. Sweet.

I think you can re-flash your phone . It will install an older version of Extras + info for you . you can swap vcreg with extras + info and re-install it on sd card .I'm not sure but It's technically possible . Isn't it ?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ca_guri01:
[MENTION=4542506]ngame[/MENTION]:- What u r saying is not possible (at least in my opinion), because vcreg method needs the extra info in sd card to swap it with vcreg_bootstrap, now if we reflash the phone then extra info is installed in phone memory by default and u can't move it via storage sense because it never shows there, so in order to install extra info in sd card you first need to uninstall it and change the save location from storage sense to sd card and then have to install the extra info to sd card via store. However, now Microsoft has made it impossible to save extra info to sd card, so this vcreg method is become redundant for windows phone 8.1
