I found some things you guys should know, for whoever is using this method of replacing other .reg files. if the file size becomes a certain length bigger than the original, then it will fail. the language file I referred to earlier, if I add a few entries, any entries, it works successfully, once I pass a certain size, I get the sad face. so let me see what I can come up with, the easiest, safest modification(that's why I attacked the language files first).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] vcfan:
it wont work with my app because my app is lumia specific. all you need to do is just gain full fs access using the already known methods on the ativ, then you would replace the files manually. i'll release some modified files so you could just put them in the correct directories and be done with it.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] oelapoel:
Hello vcfan

There are some people complained that interop unlock wont allow you to upgrade when official updates. Is that true? This is not using your way, but i thought both are using similar methods.

Do you have any say on this? Thnx
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] vcfan:
I don't set the preview for developers updates registry setting, so you should still get the official ones. if there is some other setting that disable updates that im unaware of, please let me know.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] oelapoel:
Hi VcFan,

ok, so basically your way of interop unlock (live/permanent) should not interrupt with any official firmware/software should they come to our device later on.. for example official w10, or GDR2? Cheers for the information :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] djamol:
great... What are you saying that ?

Wow, then so i can do a lot's of thing..... We can easily root our device.

Then Modify Full ACL's for Registry, FS Access and it's API's..

Ahhhaa.. I'm very excited.. can't wait to achieve more things.

Use "ID_CAP_DEVELOPERUNLOCK" or "ID_CAP_DEVELOPERUNLOCK_API" to FULL ACCESS :D

or your own one "ID_CAP_VCFANCAP" :p

Do it via Update packages.. without HARD RESET. :svetius:

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

PM me for Custom Package.

and I've one method to verify that device which doesn't support for modifications..
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] vcfan:
im trying to figure out where the information is stored on what size limitation each file has, because I can put some reg entries in certain files, and they work and apply, but if I go over a certain size, it starts to fail.

also,something else I discovered, but this requires interopservices, but I found a call I can make that will reset the phone and apply a .wim file that we can replace with our own using our full fs access.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] vcfan:
correct.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] irshad2809:
I think its in the the dsmfiles folder it contains information about file size and other attributes.

Hello there!

thank you for developing this tool!

i interop unlocked via this tool and it shows a success but i can't write to registry.

i can however use registry tweaks in CustomPFD app but i can't write on my own using CustomPFD or vcREG

i can sideload apps with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES and the value of MaxUnsignedApp is 1003 .

am I missing something here?

i'm kinda new to the whole Windows Phone hacking thing.

thanks in advance.

UPDATE : it's weird. i installed root tool and now i can write to registry.

does it work at HTC M8 for wp? M8 has a sd too, but does not have the extra&info....
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
Technically it can work by replacing app with CSDiag or HTC Hub but I think you can't run app or if you run it you can't run RPC service on your device and get initialize error in app .
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] davenasc:
just install custom wpsystem, replace the PFD app with the custom PFD, then you use that to change your OEM to nokia, so you can download extra+info app, and do the interop unlock
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
Did you try it ? And it worked ?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
[MENTION=5429378]davenasc[/MENTION]'s suggestion won't work. Extras+Info has no special privileges itself, just capabilities like ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES (which lots of apps have; the HTC "Converter" app even has it). Interopservices lets you talk to RPC servers on the device, but you can (obviously) only use the servers that are actually present. The hack being used here relies on an RPC server that is only present in Lumia phones; it won't work on a phone from any other OEM! Same reason that Samsung-specific apps don't work on Lumias, even after interop-unlock.

I'll double-check to see if there's an HTC RPC server that allows moving files, though. There might be... I looked for a registry-writing RPC server and didn't find one I could use (on the M8; the 8X has one, oddly) but wasn't looking for filesystem-writing.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] vcfan:
update for your question. [MENTION=5889633]djamol[/MENTION] has said in the other thread that modifying these firmware files (such as OEMSettings.reg) will prevent you from installing updates. So I tested my device with a modified file, and sure enough, the update will fail to install. So the answer to your question is, if you use my app and do the live interop unlock, it won't mess with updates. if you use the permanent unlock of my app, or replace OEMSettings.reg, or use romrebuilder, the updates will fail, unless you replace OEMSettings.reg back with the original before you do the update, then add back the modified one after the update.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] irshad2809:
But I can confirm that with my l630 interop unlocked with rom builder and fs access and cap unlocked using your method got the update which was for issue of rebooting occasionally. Even with modded oemsettings.reg .
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] vcfan:
perhaps it varies depending on the type of update? the failure wasn't from checking for the update or downloading it for me, it was during installing the update, it would get to 89% then fails saying it cannot open the package or some error like that. tried it 3 times with modded and unmodded. modded always failed,while unmodded worked fine. hard reset worked fine with modded too so I know it wasn't an error with the reg file.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] davenasc:
oh, sorry so, i've thing that this should work :/
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] mybabysexy:
[MENTION=6655208]vcfan[/MENTION] the app is now retired? I saw this post
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] vcfan:
I've decided to actually keep it as is. I'm working on another project now so I have no time to rework the app into a standalone jailbreak tool only. I suggest people use CustomPFD for easy reg editing though since it has my library integrated and is much better for registry editing. You still need my app for cap unlocking.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] djamol:
Different Method for Capability Unlock

I think this is a good way to unlock cap's.

So it will not affect on Windows 10.

What do you think guy's ?

IF (Developer Device)

{

WriteRule(3rdPartyUnlock, 2ndPartyCaps, 2ndPartyPrinciple);

WriteAdditionalCaps(Internal+Private to 3rd Party);

}

Else //Retail Device

{

WriteRule(3rdPartyUnlock, 1STPartyCaps, 1stPartyPrinciple);

WriteAdditionalCaps(Internal+Private to 3rd Party);

}

Doesn't need to modify an existing caps to 3rd Party

Let me know.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] oelapoel:
ok thanx for clearing this up. so in essence, would we be able to upgrade to w10 while keeping the interop unlock later on? say we replace oemsettings.reg back to the original, upgrade, and then try to add back the modified one after the update... wouldnt it re-lock the phone to locked state, i.e. we wouldnt have the ability to mess around with oemsettings.reg?

or anybody has tried to do it on build 10149? Cheers

fully interop unlocked

With this tool i have tried to interop unlocking my Nokia Lumia 720 and its says success

but only thing that i have seen is i can modify unlimited apps but cant deploy source apps like LockScreen App, AppData Manager, Storage Cleaner (i have tried windows phone application deployment 8.1)

its says "Error - The manifest could not be loaded and may not be valid"

or maybe they are limited to samsung phones only

and how can i verify that i have fully interop unlocked my Lumia?

which is to do with interopunlock capabilities.. doed this need to be done for every xap or have i done something wrong??

power tools wouldnt install with 8.1 sdk but did with 8.0 sdk. is this my issue??
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Ranomez:
If you only did the permanent interop unlock you need to hard reset to be able to install interop unlock apps, if you don't want to hard reset you also NEED to load vcreg over extras+info and do the live interop unlock too.

Also if the ROM Rebuilder interop unlock method did not work foe you the vcreg permanent interop unlock will also not work.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] AmGaD-SaLaH:
after doing full fs access my device not recognized on my pc or my laptop , help

thanks in advance
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
[MENTION=6195719]AmGaD-SaLaH[/MENTION], you should wait for a while; connection take much longer if you enabled full FS access.

P.S. BTW, do you really need it? ;)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
as sensboston said it takes longer than before but you can disable full fs using tweeks page in custompfd

FullFS is not recommended for end users . it's a DEV option ( also not useful even for all developers :D )
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Ranomez:
Well Full FS access can be quite useful if you know how to use it and what you want to achieve (like replacing the HOSTS file to block adds or manually backing up the data folder of apps or editing .reg files in Windows/PACKAGES/RegistryFiles). But yes it is always better to enable it only when you need it and then disable it.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Abdulrazak_Kh:
add more info about requiring a hard reset for perma option to work

confirm this is working great with me on my Lumia 630 , full fs access + InterOP unlocked! finally ..

one note : in v 1.2 there's option to perma unlock AFTER HARD RESET , this option do not work without hard reset ? idk , but it didn't work so i used the "live" interop unlock + unlock caps and it worked fine

ps mention me or quote if you want me to reply as I'm mostly off xda for my school
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
The method that uses OEMSettings.reg requires a hard-reset to work. However, unlike other changes, it will survive a hard reset. You can probably apply it but not hard reset (just use the live unlock for now), just in case you need to reset in the future.

App Data?

I finally got the full FS access to work on my phone, and now I'm trying to find app data folder to back up game data. I have been poking around in Windows Explorer and cannot seem to find the data folder for apps.

Phone\Data\PROGRAMS has a list of GUID folders, but none correspond to the right GUID.

Phone\Data\PROGRAMS\WINDOWSAPPS has a bunch of stuff in it, but not any data storage.

The IsoStoreSpy code looks like it should be under Applications\Data\{GUID}\Data\IsolatedStore, but I don't see that path anywhere. Any ideas?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Ranomez:
I actually didn't poke with that for quite a while (and also didn't have my Lumia which isn't even mine actually) so I don't think I can help you right now but if you wait till tomorrow I'll have a look in the system to find out where the isolated storage is, that after I finish customizing my phone again and installing all my apps and restoring the data for them.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:

Just one question..... Does this hack of your requires modifying the OEMSettings.reg caz many phones have OEMSettings.reg locked in 'read only' mode....
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Ranomez:
The permanent interop unlock does, the live one not, the live one doesn't even need a reboot. If you, like me are one of the unlucky owners of a devices with locked OEMSettings.reg you can still gain permanent interop unlock by adding the lines to Software.reg instead.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
first: you need developer unlock (pay or free)

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

2. I installed the lite version of your choice.

3. I tried to register now with the developer registration tool, but it does not find my phone, although it is properly connected (as mentioned earlier, I can copy files to it). Is there something missing? I tried four different USB ports and started the programme with admin rights, just to be sure.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
is no need to copy aetx file to sd... just register Appstudio account with MS account you use on phone

after this unlock phone with Windows Phone Developer Registration Tool 8.1!!! (dont use 8.0!!!)

i make this without problem on friend L630...

check did you installed lite 8.1 version and did you try to unlock with

Windows Phone Developer Registration Tool 8.1

if not work:

sometimes Lite version make problems... if you can install full version, do it... is 6 GB but sometimes this is only solution

Alright, guys, everything worked now, I think. I am just hanging in there

shortly before the end:

"Just try to deploy dummy.xap, that's attached below with wp power tools, and it will fail, but at the same time it will delete the app from the phone. Now you can install extras+info again from the store."

In WP Power Tools there is no "field", where I can enter the dummy.xap

to deploy it. Is that an error in the description maybe? I mean, there I

can connect to my phone and then I see the CustomWPSystem twice

in a list, but I can not deploy the dummy.xap towards the phone in any

way.

I tried it then with the tool from before (WP Application Deploy) and

there it says: Error - Manifest not loaded ...

But this thing under Settings ist still there, not deleted.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
this dummy you dont need to use, unless you want remove interop unlock...

wait, i will make screenshot with WPPT
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] xsycox:
No, I meant to remove @D:\WPSystem\Apps\... from SETTINGS

to get back EXTRAS + INFO ... and then it is possible to sideload/

install normally the vcreg_sideload.xap, I thought.

@D:\WPSystem\Apps\... is not needed anymore, is it?

I attach my screenshots and I thought, CustomWPSystem as an

app hast to stay, BUT we can remove somehow the @D:\WPSystem...

under SETTINGS and get back EXTRAS+INFO.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
dont remove "D:\WPSystem\Apps\{2377fe1b..." unless you want interop hack remove...

you can sideload before interop but is limited only to 2 XAP... after interop unlock you can sideload without limits

all from beginning, what you need is:

1. set year 2115.

2. uninstall extras+info

3. set year back to 2015

4. in settings - storage sense set install apps to phone memory

5. copy "vcREG_1_2_BOOTSTRAP.xap" to SDcard root, and deploy (install) CustomWPSystem_0600.xap to phone

6. in settings - storage sense set install apps to sd card

7. run CustomWPSystem

8. set SD Card permissions

9. now where show "Preview for developers" change to "Extra e info"

10. select download from store and install

11. now "select the XAP"

12. and find "vcREG_1_2_BOOTSTRAP.xap"

13. Apply XAP

14. now go to Settings and find "D:\WPSystem\Apps\{2377fe1b..."

15. open "temmplates"

16. select options and unlock phone

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

if you missed:

you can sideload before interop but is limited only to 2 XAP... after interop unlock you can sideload without limits.. that is point of interop unlock... if WPPT not work, use deployer tool from WP SDK
