Hey guys... I´m happy to see that so many people even work with the Surface RT. I just bought one for a few bucks :D

I will try the jailbreak tonight and I hope that it works that fine. Maybe someone could get Bluestacks running on that device... This would be great.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
Same problem as with VirtualBox. It would be too resource intensive for windows RT and would take more time than devs want to to optimize it.

[MENTION=6124463]Qiangong2[/MENTION]:

Is it possible to install Remix OS via the Store in Nokia Lumia Windows RT 8.1 tablet? In the past you had helped me to do a dual boot. However it opens in my desktop, DOS screen and dies after waiting for a few minutes.

Thanks
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
Remix OS is based on Android. I would love to have it on my Surface 2, but it can't be done. You'd have to have the source code of Remix OS as a first thing. Then, you'd have to know enough about the Lumia 2520 to create a device tree, and enough about Windows RT to create a kernel tree. Also, you'd have to integrate UEFI boot support into Remix OS as Android uses a modified version of grub. You'd have to port the ARM version instead of the android-x86 version. Currently, we know very little about Windows RT hardware and the Windows RT OS. If we could somehow get a copy of the Windows RT OEM image (legally), we'd be able to get more info and be able to actually fully unlock the potential of our devices.

So sadly, the answer is no :(

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Azphreal:
I've recently bought a Surface 2 and have been trouble jailbreaking it. I've uninstalled the listed updates, used the PowerShell command, but nothing changes. I tried running it through an admin Command Prompt instead, but got something like the Secure Boot policy wouldn't let me, so I tried to disable that and I BSOD'd after opening my BitLocker. Just posting here as requested.

edit: realised that the N was special. Still doesn't work. No watermark, running the signed 7zip FM doesn't work. Trying to install the certificate says it's successful, but still fails to open. bcdedit looks right, returning ' /TNSTSIGNING' in loadoptions (doesn't show Unicode), so there might be another recent update stopping things.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] -Sat-:
I had issues with the ie flash player, so I did an update, except upgrades in first page, but now I lost test mode.

There is a new update that is blocking the exploit, I'm trying find what.

Edit:

"test-signing mode" works, but I lost the screen watermark.

No issues with new updates, just this strange thing.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
I got QuickSharp to work! You can build .NET apps on RT 8.1 now! :victory: It does not support .sln files, so it will take some effort to port big C# applications. After you compile and save the application, you must sign it separately. You can't just click run as that application has not been signed. a bit annoying, but not too bad. :)

I did a simple hello world application to demonstrate
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Dj_Art:
The same situation. For new applications do not work, only work previously launched applications. KB3121212 spoils Jailbreak.

Save this to a .ps1 file on your RT Device, if you use notepad be sure it's a ps1 file, not a txt file. Run powershell as administrator. Type in the path to this .ps1 file.

The command.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>c:\temp\jailbreak.ps1

On the below, you may want to change the $value from 0 to 2. This will allow you to continue to check for updates, and be able to hide updates you don't wish to ever install.

The file.

$registryPath = "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update"

$Name = "AUOptions"

$value = "0"

New-ItemProperty -Path $registryPath -Name $name -Value $value -PropertyType DWORD -Force | Out-Null

bcdedit /set '{current}' loadoptions ' /TŅSTSIGNING'

wusa /uninstall /kb:3084905 /quiet /norestart | Out-Null
wusa /uninstall /kb:3088195 /quiet /norestart | Out-Null
wusa /uninstall /kb:3108381 /quiet /norestart | Out-Null
wusa /uninstall /kb:3121212 /quiet /norestart | Out-Null
wusa /uninstall /kb:3101746 /quiet /norestart | Out-Null

shutdown /r /t 0 /f

From time to time, I also use this code to 'unbreak'. Please note, this is only tested in Surface RT (not Surface 2), however I find loadoptions to be very rare. To be 'extra safe', you might want to run the following from an elevated command prompt prior to 'unbreaking' and review your loadoptions.

bcdedit /enum

Unbreak

$registryPath = "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\"

$Name = "AUOptions"

$value = "1"

New-ItemProperty -Path $registryPath -Name $name -Value $value -PropertyType DWORD -Force | Out-Null

bcdedit /deletevalue loadoptions

shutdown /r /t 0 /f

(in my jailbreak and unbreak ps1 files, $value is set to 2. That way I can 'unbreak' and not have to suffer test mode, and still run my 'installed' stuff)
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Blackdragon_860:
I had to set this before:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

But also after this and with your script i don't have watermark :(
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] brandoncomputer:
Is you Control Panel Language set to "English (United States)"? If not, let's set it as such and see if the script (or the jailbreak) works then
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] brandoncomputer:
mshta(rt).exe

The attached cannot be renamed to mshta.exe, because of a hard coded restriction, but it works fine as mshtart.exe

This is beta software. Scripts with hta specific functions (such as here https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/7a7f9937-0c6f-4f1e-a953-d29e47b2f5d5) will not work.

Scripts that use more pure vbscript will work fine (after clicking the activex warning)

This is a good example of a better way to get current directory, but you have to fix "End Sub" placement on a couple of lines.

https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/094f0cc1-215b-4bf7-a60f-bfcb8aca11cd

I'm not certain if I'll develop this further, enjoy!

I just rediscovered bfosterjr had WinMerge within his list of apps. Since it's not always easy or intuitive to download these files without cloning the whole repo I will package his app as an attachment to this post. (For those who haven't figured out though you could probably click on every file in github and then click raw to a download of each file.)

Again I just zipped the files, bfosterjr built them
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] nazoraios:
I am digging out more utility programs which may have been missed by some from the bfosterjr 'archive'. This one is QuiteRSS (https://quiterss.org/en/about)

This is a Linux port which uses QT windowing, but you can hardly tell. You can track down rss xml feeds to add (I may use it for registering podcast feeds for easy download).

Larger download (15 megs) so I had to host on my web space :

http://www.obeliskos.com/surface/QuiteRSS_0.31.1.zip
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] nazoraios:
I also don't know why those who bundle notepad++ don't include themes. Bfosterjr's version is 6.6.8 which is newer so I bundled it along with themes and help files to make this build. Not sure you want to replace the current dropbox download, but if time proves this to be better version (it's the one I will use), maybe link can be updated this attachment.

Would you consider porting the browser Airfox? It's in VB.NET so it shouldn't be too bad. I'd do it, but I don't have a full windows machine. Only my surface 2 RT, so no development until Sharpdevelop works.

Hmm, it would seem this browser is based on gecko engine (Mozilla) and thus it has reference to :

<Reference Include="geckofx-10, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3209ac31600d1857, processorArchitecture=x86" />

That assembly is probably an x86 wrapper to interface with -native- x86 gecko engine and libraries so I would say sorry no. Maybe it would be possibly to build arm versions of those but it is beyond my capabilities or my toolchain's capabilities. Many of the -native- libraries which this project and the gecko engine seems to require are :

freebl3, libegl, libglesv2, mozalloc, mozjs, mozsqlite3, mozutils, nspr4, nss3, nssckbi, nssdbm3, nssutil3, plc4, plds4, smime3, softokn3, ssl3, xpcom, xul, as well as ms vc runtimes, d3ddx9_43, and interop assemblies so i'd say not likely :(
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
Ah, sorry. I didn't know it had that many extra assemblies. I'm trying to get a PDF reader working for desktop. I have my resolution set at 1280x720 as otherwise the desktop scales weird. So, no metro PDF reader.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] nazoraios:
On Linux I would say evince but I would not be able to compile that for win32. What we could do fairly easily is use Mozilla pdf.js library to render pdfs in a hybrid c#/html/js app which could be associated or registered as shell:sendto app.

Try the Demo at this link and see if the performance and behavior works for your desktop resolution/scaling :

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
Snip.

Sorry. Didn't read the whole post, just skimmed it.

Are there any ways to easily create a PDF reader in c#? The speed is good, but it loads the file page by page, making it slow if you are at the last few pages of a book or magazine.

Any way to get the USB Ethernet adapter drivers to work? I'm referring to the ones that worked with Win8 JB named AX88772B_772A_772_WinRT_Driver_v3.16.0.1807. I tried signing the directory and then the .sys file with the sign tool, but no luck.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] domboy:
I'm fairly certain I've read that USB ethernet drivers were included in RT 8.1, but you have to manually select them (in the new hardware wizard) as in they won't automatically install. There is probably a thread on this somewhere on this forum but I can find it. Possibly a Realtek driver, or something similarly named as the one you posted.

Side note, the above ones for RT 8.0 actually didn't need the jailbreak to work, as they were signed by Microsoft.

Another question...how i can install google chrome ??
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
You can't :) we might be able to port chromium, but no developer wants to at this point. Qupzilla and weebies are your only choices for alternative browsers at the moment.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] William990:
and firefox ??
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
Same as chromium. Windows RT runs on an ARM processor. Firefox and chromium are both built for x86 processors (like your Windows 7 computer).

I built a desktop 'Speech Reader' program which I will use to read text ebooks which are many hours long. It segments them into page 'segments' so I track progress.

Since it is a desktop app, if you aren't actively using your computer you may want to 'keep display awake' option.

You can put a shortcut in the program in your 'shell:sendto' folder and send text files to it or load text files from the program. If you do not load text files you can type or past text into the textbox to speak it.

Here is ScreenToGif 1.42 which can screen capture to an animated gif. https://screentogif.codeplex.com/

The default image viewer in Windows RT only seems to support static gif's so open with internet explorer or another image viewer (that supports animated gifs) to view your created gifs.

For users on a surface 2, you should set desktop scaling to 100% for coordinates to match exactly (or increase capture window size to compensate). In Windows RT 8.1, changing desktop scaling can be done (and undone) without rebooting your tablet.

(Click the Attached Thumbnail to see a demo gif created by the app)

As with most of the programs I post (which are .net), this runs equally well on x86 desktops as on your surface rt tablet.

Surface not activated

Hey Guys, i tested the new jailbreak tool and i guess it is working. I don´t have that watermark sign on the desktop, but i can use the x86emu to load up some programms. So does that count?

However my surface is not activated. Its running windows 8.1 and it always says "please activate your windows". For round about 2 weeks i tried different programms, vbs scripts and powershell scripts to get the bios key.

I think i have the key now, but when i try to reenter the key in the settings it doesn´t recognize it.

What can i do now? Should i install windows 8.0 via usb stick and try to activate it there? And then upgrade to windows 8.1?

Or am i missing something?

Thanks you very much for your help.
