First of all: Thank you all!!

Im a surface rt 8.0JB & 8.1 dual-boot-user, and I was reading all the posts the time when [MENTION=5118143]Myriachan[/MENTION] did it :)

It was a good idea to wait with the release! And now since its "fixed" by MS its a perfect to release <3

Cheers

Blade

P.S.: Anyone knows the movie "Groundhog Day"?

Its like we are in it :D

Same hopes & questions like 8.0JB :)

Just for the log: What about a N64-emulator? xD

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] nazoraios:
I created a simple .net web server to serve up web sites. You should be able to copy the exe (its signed already but I bundled the signtool in binaries), run it, verify root directory and port to listen on, and start and stop server. I believe the requirements for listening on ports require admin permissions so you will probably need to run as admin.

Additionally, I added mime types so that it can serve up my TridentSandbox web site completely from your device (if you download latest release of it and set that as root directory). Since my project uses appcache, once it completes you can shutdown the webserver and the localhost TridentSandbox will run from appcache. In the future I may add more optional functionality.

I put the project up on github if you wanted to review the source or build it yourself (I used VS2013 Community).

Binaries can be downloaded here :

We are protective because it took both [MENTION=7009241]OnbekendV[/MENTION] and myself quite a bit of time to make this tool work, not to mention all of the apps we have worked on for RT. We are improving the tool by adding support for the new updates.

We prefer hardcoding to variables and loops anyways. It is better to be exact and have nothing go wrong, than to add stray variables and loops that could potentially destroy the tool itself, along with our device.

Here on XDA-Developers, it's about respect. Just because someone doesn't put a copyright license on their guide, ROM, or utility doesn't mean you have the right to take it and call it your own. [MENTION=7009241]OnbekendV[/MENTION] has invited you to our ICQ chat if you want to talk.

By the way, I timed the update uninstaller, it took me 18 seconds to find and uninstall the first update, then 1-2 seconds for each one following. Not 1 minute.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] :
On my Surface RT, each DISM fetch takes around EDIT:twenty-plus seconds. Multiply that by 10-11 updates, and it easily adds up to several minutes. I don't know what you're running, that allows DISM fetch to complete in 2 seconds.

Allowing everyone to cooperate on software results in better software for everyone. Protectionism and hostility to outside developers only leads to software stagnation. Why not take credit for curating the list of updates, but promote collaboration for the benefit of all Windows RT users?

Also I don't have ICQ for chat. I'll sign up for an account soon.

I'll figure out what to do over the weekend, as I'm somewhat busy right now.

EDIT: Are you sure that KB3156418 is infected? I think my script may have screwed up. (Batch files suck)
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
I have a surface 2 RT. We are promoting people to work on porting applications. As you can see, we have very few apps. If you could work on that, it would go far better than creating a slightly faster tool.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] roxas22:
hey guys,please don't argue,we are a little community,and we don't like to lost users.

i have an idea,people don't port apps becouse they don't like to install VB,porting files etc etc,we can create a program for windows rt for porting programs directly from the surface rt

is a good idea?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
It is a good idea. We have sharpdevelop working for windows RT. We can make applications directly on windows RT now. The only problem is it has support for vs2008 and older solutions as version 3.2 of sharpdevelop is the last version without wpf as its base. Windows RT does not support wpf.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] :
does g++ run on RT? what about msvc compiler?

has anyone compiled python 3? it would probably only support pure-python extension modules, though. That's unless the Python modules support Win32 on ARM, and someone compiles them.

It would be interesting to use my old Surface as a lightweight laptop replacement (plus a Thinkpad keyboard, or maybe type cover) for browser editing and programming projects. However, I'll definitely miss Sublime Text.

Are the developers of this tool also porting C/C++ programs?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
No g++, no msvc. Python 3 has too many dependencies that aren't compatible with Windows RT. We have scite and notepad++. We are working on porting c++ apps to RT. Buy a type cover. It is worth it.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] roxas22:
Hi guys,i recently installed sharpdevelop,but the official guide for porting apps isn't the same for sharpdevelop,can someone post a guide?

Now the Jide Remix Mini Android is marketed, which has HDMI, Ethernet and USB ports. Can you please give your expert opinion if this device if attached to my Nokia 2520 Running Windows RT 8.1 will recognize and start the new Operating System which is Android ?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
It will recognize the device, but you can't boot from it. You cannot boot from any android device. We don't have secure boot disabled yet, so booting other operating systems is not possible yet. On ARM devices like the Nokia 2520, the OS is set as read-only (not-editable), so we have to flash the OS onto the device instead of just writing the OS to the device. To do this, we need secure boot disabled as it blocks the ability to flash an OS to the device.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] WinRTUser532:
first: thanks

second: No, I was not aware of this emu, thank you.

Running vb.net windows forms application

I executed the windows rt 8.1 development tool. All went realy well.

I'm in test mode. I can run the re-compiled ARM programs like 7-zip.

But i would love to run one of my vb dot net windows forms application.

I made a realy simple form with one button and a message using vs 2013 and vs 2015. But wen i try to run the exe I get an error.

The application can't be executed (don't know what the error message is in English, I tried to translate from Dutch to English).

In this forum one state that you don't have to change anything. Just run the exe.

Why can't i run a vb dot net program on my windows 8.1 RT in test mode?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
RT doesn't have support for windows forms applications.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] neeva:
Thanks for you replay.

when I google "windows rt jailbreak vb.net" and I follow the first link

compling-my-vb-net-winforms-apps-for-arm-and-windows-rt

(stackoverflow.com/questions/14347120/compling-my-vb-net-winforms-apps-for-arm-and-windows-rt)

they claim it was possible with windows RT 8.0.

Or am I interpreting this wrong?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
What I should have said is any WPF Form application will not work on RT. VS2012 and beyond use WPF forms as default. Yes, it is possible, but then you have .NET errors as .NET 4.0 wasn't meant to work on VS2010 and below. That's another reason why Sharpdevelop RT is so buggy.

Guys you singed unimportant apps and the important thing you forgot !!?

We need if you may some important apps to install in windows rt 8.1

Like Firefox, Google chrome, ism(internet download manager) and like this

And thanks for everything.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
We are trying to get apps ported successfully at the moment. Google Chrome will not work, it takes too much ram and forces the device to shut down. Same thing with Opera browser. The Firefox project is abandoned at the moment because of complexity. I have never tried ism before.

I created a hierarchical notes application which I called OutlineNotes. I will use it to organize and structure collections of notes. Supports copy paste between apps like Word, notepad, paint, etc. Even drag drop files into a note (however I would do that only for small files maybe under a meg or so to keep memory clean and file saves fast).

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] JakeMini123:
Microsoft probably released an update that blocks it, and as there are not going to be any more updates to the tool you may be out of luck, try removing any updates downloaded recently by your surface and remember to run the tool with administrative privileges.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] ImproAptoVictum:
Yes, in theory... long explanation short: the extended list which i provided (post #433) requires the

Windows Update

service to be set to

Manual

and that only

Important updates

are applied/installed.

So for the sake of ease: ill attach the

full list of important updates

that are

safe to install

to retain Test Mode after using the Development Tool. In addition, this is the updated extended list of Infected Updates (as of now):

- KB3179574

- KB3175024

- KB3172614

- KB3170377

- KB2967917 (unconfirmed, installation fails)

- KB3000850 (unconfirmed, installation fails)

If you install any of these:

KB3197874

KB3197875

KB3205401

...then locked secure-boot policy is restored, fw locked (to flashing unlocked sb policy) and testsigning value protected IRREVERSIBLY.

After that, your only option is to use old Myrichan's Jailbreak.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
What do you mean irreversibly? Every update (not OS change) can be uninstalled.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mbjun:
Those updates reflash SecureBoot Policy and lock fw. Those changes will stay, even if you uninstall the updates.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
This thread isn't about secureboot. This thread is about a tool that allows you to run unsigned desktop apps on windows RT 8.1.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mbjun:
Well those complaining guys had fully updated RT, so it is quite same, because with fully updated RT neither Myriachan's JB ("The Tool" :)))) ) nor NeverReleased/Netham's JB (aka SecureBoot policy) will work.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] FrancescoLC:
This is not working on my Surface 2, how do i fix this?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] sebr:
The tool is not updated anymore for a very long time. The only way is to uninstall all the updates that have been released after the latest version of the tool. Then run the tool, let it do it's job and disable updates completely.

that's how I did it. Unfortunately that is the only way.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
There is currently no way to get back into test mode if you have fully updated your windows RT device. The latest updates block the BCD edit required for test mode to be enacted and the updates cannot be removed as they are marked by Microsoft as critical. There is no system restore on RT, so you cannot roll back to an earlier build.
