[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Well, thanks. I appreciate every nice comment. I'm doing this for fun. But I worked on this tool for more than 2 years and now I spend a lot of time to support the tool. So if YOU appreciate all that work, consider a donation.

OS updates, like Windows 10 updates will simply not work. You can disable Root Access then update and when the new version is supported, you can enable Root Access again. When you are getting an OEM firmware update, you should probably first flash back stock ROM, then update and then unlock again.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I would like to work on that. But the problem is that when people collect money for such device, they expect something back for that. And when I can't deliver, or it would take a long time to find the necessary hacks, I would feel guilty about that.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MultiPDev:
You already know the answer :D
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
I'm totally understand you however we may call that fundraising as a "donation" ;)

However the final decision is definitely on you; just let us (me, at least) know.

P.S. BTW, are you planning to upgrade your own, personal smartphone? ;) L-950 is a really nice handset (I'm playing with it for a few days and I'm excited), so I may personally recommend to you to update (even you are not going to hack this phone).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
you have a L950 or xl one ?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
It is no secret that I'm a huge fan of Windows Phone / Windows Mobile. But I have a family to support, so I can't buy every new phone there is. But the money I got from donations was always invested back in this "hobby". So, if you want to start a fundraiser I would love to spend it on a Lumia 950. And I will surely try to hack it. But again, I can not give guarantees.

info

getting same error lumia 520 rm915 was able to unlock bl & mass storage mode
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MrCego:
I have a little question: If I create a backup from mass-storage mode, where IMEI info is saved?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
as far as I can remember IMEI info is in DPP partition .
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Mr. Barker:
Just dropping in to say this is a fantastic tool. I had wondered when, if ever, such a solution would come along, and was pleasantly surprised to discover this tool's existence. It's very useful and a breath of fresh air for Lumia owners.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Aanze:
Hi there. I own a L950 and am very interrested in your poject. I must admit that I have very little knowledge of Windows Phone Internal as I just heard about it but I can learn.

Let me know if I can help you somehow ;)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] afi1982:
so I've managed to unlock my bootloader but now my phone wont turn on , i only get the power up vibration and then nothing, black screen and my computer wont recognize my phone. what should i do?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MrCego:
Is it possible to delete that? Ex, I wanna create a default flasheable backup from my L620 to flash on another one. Can I do that?

What is your phone model?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] afi1982:
Lumia 520
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
I don't know much about it , but It *MUST* ignore DPP partition from flashing because it's unique for every device .

again I say not sure but I think the flash progress only flash UEFIESP and MainOS and SBL partitions and also format Data partition .

let others tell about it .
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MrCego:
That's should be the reason why DPP partition isn't "touched".

Hey guys, does anyone know the Icon Cache folder of WP in mass storage mode? i changed some icons in system32 and now it doesn't boot up, only shows black screen ( my PC still recognize it as MTP and WP Internals still can switch mode on my device.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] contable:
I got a 950 XL with free display dock and I´m excited too. The only missing feature is "Double tap to wake". As I have donated in the past I would donate again if there is any plan to support [MENTION=3254428]Heathcliff74[/MENTION] to get the 950/950 XL hacked.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
[MENTION=2110475]contable[/MENTION], I sent PM to [MENTION=3254428]Heathcliff74[/MENTION] about fundraising details so let's wait for reply. I'll upgrade my family Lumias to 950 very soon and I'm also interested to get "jailbreak" (I believe it's more correct than interop unlock for the Heathcliff74's work) for the few reasons...

P.S. By the way, if you know some good services/sites for fundraising or already have an experience with kickstarter or similar projects - PM me your suggestions and propositions.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] winphouser:
[MENTION=3254428]Heathcliff74[/MENTION] ?

Root access + Mass Storage on NL520. Using WPI1.0, FFU from WDRT, Engineering-SBL3s.zip, Lumia.zip.

-------

Anyone know?

1. Is there a known way to get Mass Storage for 640XL (RM-1062, MSM8226) and others?

2. Engineering FFU: Please, you have this [MENTION=4687247]Kaptaiin[/MENTION] ?!

3. Is compatible SBL3 available?

4. Would flashing SBL3 only for otherwise unsupported Lumias be possible using current or future WPI ?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Nope. Selecting a retail FFU/SBL3 is the same as selecting no SBL3 at all. Your bootloader will be unlocked for custom ROM's but not for Mass Storage mode.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
You probably don't have the Emergency drivers installed. See "Getting started" section of the tool.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
The vibration indicates that is boots at least to SBL3 and probably even past UEFI.

Try this:

- Open Windows Phone Internals tool

- Go to Flash section

- Select a stock FFU

- Connect the phone to PC

- Reset the phone

The tool should detect the phone and force it to Flash mode. You can then click the button to start flashing back to stock ROM.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
A Lumia 950 should be arranged soon, probably. No need to start a fundraiser for that. But donations are always welcome. There is enough software and hardware that I still like to purchase to support my work on Lumia's.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Little status update

I'm working on a couple of things:

- Fix for audio-issue in Root Access

- Support for latest Windows 10 build: 10.0.10586.29

- Fix for issue where Root Access cannot be applied on MainOS for some people

- Add support for more models

I'm making progress in all these areas. But it is impossible to predict an ETA for them. Especially for supporting more models. This needs very complex hacks. So please don't ask for ETA's. I will create a new release whenever I add significant features or fixes.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] reksden:
are you will add non lumias model?

example

HTC 8s, 8x, 8xt, HTC m8 windows

Huawei w1, w2

Operators model

and etc.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
My main focus will be on Lumia's. But I'd like to support as much models as possible. So, if I find enough time, I will also look at HTC, Samsung, etc.

[MENTION=3254428]Heathcliff74[/MENTION] I modified my UI.dll icons with my own icons but when I copied it into my phone, it just stuck in a black screen and it doesn't boot up. My PC still recogized it as MTP device. After that I restored that .dll with the original one but still ran into black screen. What did I do wrong?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Make sure the PE-checksum of the DLL is correct.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] mybabysexy:
how to check that? I am using restorator to change the UI.

[Edit1]

I found the differences :D how to change the checksum?

Check Charge batterry level and use recovery tool
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Try this:

- On PC open Device Manager

- Connect phone

- Restart phone

See if something happens. Adding / removing devices (very fast, maybe only flashing of the device-list). If something happens, it means your phone is recognized. You have to see what device is added and install correct drivers. Then it should be possible to use my tool. Drivers are usually installed by the "Windows Device Recovery Tool".
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] afi1982:
not working , my phone recognize as USB input device
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Hm. Weird. Try to leave it connected for at least an hour and then try again. I know that when the phone is in emergency charging mode, it is also shown as USB input device. Maybe the battery just needs some juice.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] afi1982:
I just need to mention that when I hear the vibration my screen stay off, I can't even see if my phone is in charging mode
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] _wook_:

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] _wook_:
Are you able to detach the battery?

If you are, before turning the power button press and hold volume down and then attach to USB cable. It should show different device. And you should be able to flash it (Either with WPInternals or WDRT).

//edit:

Retry the procedure several times with and without battery. At some point it should be in DLOAD mode.

My bad, the battery should be reattached, but to tell you the truth, I flashed (via USB) one Lumia 1020 that didn't had battery inside.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] afi1982:
still not working
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] _wook_:
All drivers are installed properly?

WPInternals should be running and waiting for the phone to be connected.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Yes. But did you try keeping it connected for an hour? There are multiple emergency charging modes. And usually USB input device means some charging mode.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] afi1982:
i'm trying, let hope that it will work (phone usually get hot when charging but not at all now)

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

yeah everything installed
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] _wook_:
Good luck mate.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] G.moe:
Would you please explain how it changes modes by sitting for a length of time? Very interesting

My reply is a bit off-topic, but for future info it's usually the battery that's getting hot, not the phone itself.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Charging on PC is always slower. Less heat. That's why i said at least an hour.

Good luck. Hope it works.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Checksum seems okay. I will try to reproduce the problem.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
That's not what i meant. There are many boot stages: PBL, SBL, UEFI, OS. Every stage has it own implementation of emergency charging. When the phone is still in an early boot stage, it might not even have a display-driver loaded. And charging will be done without showing anything. I just meant that when you charge by connecting to PC, charging is very slow. So you need to give it some time to properly charge (if that actually works).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I tried this:

- Patch file

- Recalculate checkum

- Replace file

My phone still boots normally. So that means that the integrity-checks are properly disabled.

Either your icon-editor screws things up. Or you screwed up the Access Control List of the file (File properties -> Security -> SYSTEM and ALLAPPPACKAGES must have access to the file).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] mybabysexy:
so exactly what i did was copied the UI.dll to my pc, used restorator to change the icons inside and saved it. then i use the 3rd party file explorer with the command writen in WPinternal to use it as admin mode and replaced the original one.

So how could this happened? The original and modded one are in the attachments. Maybe my icon-editor screws it up.

[edit] removed attachment due to adding wrong files

[edit 2] added the right files
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] :
The Lumia 950 uses a Snapdragon 808 while the Lumia 640 XL uses a Snapdragon 400. Does that mean that there is a good chance that the 640 XL will be supported soon too, or are they completely different beasts?

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] reksden:
I knowing, that it is shame. WojtasXDA make dual boot: windows rt, windows phone 8.0 and 8.1

but i hope that this soft will suppored w2 and will create custom rom 8.1 on huawei w2-u00(locked boot now, but sdk helped make interop unlock on 8.0(temporarily frozen the project))
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Updating an unlocked Phone is bad practice. If you get a "firmware update" it may overwrite parts of the bootloader or the complete bootloader. If parts are updated, you might get your Phone bricked. If the complete bootloader is overwritten, your bootloader will be relocked.

If you get an OS update, it will probably rejected, because the file-hashes don't match anymore. You could disable Root Access and then do the OS update. But you have to be sure, that it is only an OS update and that it does not contain a bootloader update.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I cant reproduce that problem.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Dark98:
its fixed now, do you know where i can download the emergency flash loaders?

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Ranomez:
Well this is indeed a great achievement, congratulations.

But I do have to ask: so there will be no way of getting root and W10M on devices that use an other CPU than the Qualcomm MSM8960 until at least the official release which will bring ffu images for these devices (if until then Microsoft doesn't fix the vulnerability that allows this to happen)?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Dark98:
Where can i get an ffu with an SBL3 Engineering Partition for Nokia Lumia 625?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Ranomez:
I searched a lot and it seems right now there is only one ffu available with an Engineering SBL3 partition and that is the one for Lumia 820 which has a different CPU than our device (MSM8960 vs MSM8930) so right now I don't think you can get that on our device.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:

of course yes, that's why I can't figure out why it caused problems. Have you check the files I attached yet?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] afi1982:
so i gave it time to charge and now phone is only vibrating but it's no longer recognize it even not as usb input device.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] _wook_:
Try:

Run WPInternals and keep it running.

Attach the phone to the PC.

Press and hold volume down and power button until you hear vibration and release power button.

Device should be detected now.

Retry the procedure several times if it fails in first try.

Good luck again.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I had a quick look. At first glance I did not see anything wrong with it. But I don't know what went wrong with your dll. I downloaded a trial version of Bome Restorator and I was able to replace an icon and load the dll back onto the phone and the phone still boots.

Maybe you should try to replace only one icon first. Then another one. Then a couple more, until everything works or fails. If it fails you know which icons were replaced right before it fails and then you know where the problem is.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] mybabysexy:
thx. I will try that again. But for now I don't know why windows phone internals and my PC cannot recognize my phone after installing visual studio SDK IDE

Having unlock the bootloader can prevent the installation of packages with iutool?

can't sent packages, error HRESULT = 0x8024a110
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] augustinionut:
The real code of error can be seen by pushing update buton from phone settings update when cmd is showing update.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/es-es/library/windows/hardware/mt131833(v=vs.85).aspx
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
First of all: be very careful with updates when you have unlocks on your phone!!

If you have only unlocked the bootloader (Root Access not enabled), you should be able to push OS updates.

If you also enabled Root Access, you can get all kinds of errors when you try to run updates. System files are modified. Any differential update on those files will fail. You can first disable Root Access and then try to push the OS updates.

If you try to push OEM firmware updates, then these can also contain updated bootloaders. This is very risky. It's possible that you undo the bootloader unlock. But when only parts of the bootloader are updated, you get a half-patched-bootloader, which probably results in a bricked phone.
