Summarizing: looks like WPI 1.0 definitely not for the primary, main phone :( WM10 is very buggy (looks like MS replaced all professional Q&A people to "enthusiast beta-testers") and MS will push updates very frequently (fixing old bugs and adding a new ones). The risk to completely brick your brand new expensive "flagship" handset is too high.

We need (or we are already have one? Sorry I haven't followed the WM10 "interop" news) simpler, bullet- & MS-proof method to achieve interop unlock/root access for the "tasty" things...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Well, I look at it this way:

My first goal was to completely break open the phone; bootloader AND operating system. "All guards down". This is necessary for a couple of reasons:

- Being able to do proper research on the OS

- Being able to sideload homebrew apps with full privileges

- Being able to apply other tweaks / hacks

In the "Getting started" section I also tell that you might want to consider disabling Root Access afterwards.

So, I encourage finding alternative unlock-mechanisms. The Root Access which is currently implemented in Windows Phone Internals can be used to disable security on the phone, then apply necessary tweaks and unlocks and finally disable the Root Access method of Windows Phone Internals. You could see it as an "Unlock loader".

Back in the WP7 era, I did something similar with WP7 Root Tools. First I created Root Access. Later on, I created a Policy Editor to better control Root Access.

Windows Phone Internals is just the first step. Other hackers / developers need to create more cool stuff which builds on top of Windows Phone Internals unlocks.

Currently I would think twice about using Windows Phone Internals on your daily-use-phones. At least, you should first get familiar with it, probably on a test-phone. Later on, you might use it on other phones. But unlocks have always been and will always be a bit risky, especially with updates. Unlocks will never be fully Microsoft-proof / update-proof, simply because Microsoft can't take all unlock mechanisms into account. In the Custom ROM business it is common that you flash a certain ROM and when you want to update to a newer OS, you flash a new version of that custom ROM. If you are eager to test every new build asap, then custom ROM's are not very suitable for that purpose.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
[MENTION=3254428]Heathcliff74[/MENTION], my post wasn't about to "criticising" your work and method, of course not! I'm absolutely sure, it's a great job and perfect basis for the future platform research.

But I tried to look into this from the practical side: it's definitely will be good to have ability to run apps with elevated privileges on WM10 platform - to apply some tweaks, get rid from some cell providers greediness (meaning internet sharing) etc. and so on.

As for the "safe" methods, AFAIR most previously known "interop" hacks are safe and many of 'em survived the OS updates. Your "jailbreak" is a different kind; sorry for these words but it looks like a bridge to the "hell" of the custom ROMs (with huge limitations 'cause we have no sources of the OS and must use buggy MS bits!), bricked phones, crying newbies and so on :D (I'm kidding so pls take it easy).

Hope, someone will find another "lightweight" hack just for "interop" unlock using your "full jailbreak" for the released WM10 soon!

Windows Phone Internals 1.1 released

This is my Xmas-present for you! Version 1.1 has a fix for the audio-issue when Root Access is enabled and it supports Root Access on the latest Windows 10 Mobile build 10.0.10586.36. You can find the new version of the tool in the Download section on wpinternals.net

It seems there were extra integrity checks for playing media. I fixed this for audio-playback. I will create a generic fix later, but this will work for now. If you already have Root Access and you experience the Audio-issue, just "Enable Root Access" again on the phone.

Best Wishes for Peace, Joy and lots of Hacking in this Holiday Season!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] nscxp2005:
Heathcliff, in you opinion which is the best lumia to get that supports your app?

Best wishes to you too.

Thanks

Thank you so much for the news

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] reeg420:
Hopefully somebody can help me out. I'm looking for the mms settings in w10m. One of the mms settings isn't available under edit mms apn as I'm sure is already known. I was hoping latest version would fix this issue but it didn't. In I think Windows mobile 6.5 I had a similar issue. Editing the registry directly fixed the problem. I have a Lumia 1520 which isn't supported yet by this awesome tool to allow me to browse and possibly dump registry hives. I am able edit registry but need to know the key.

What I'm asking for is somebody running w10m to dump registry, then add a random mms apn, then dump registry again immediately following. Then upload them and pm me a link. Using windiff I should be able to find the keys needed. This is exactly what I did on wm6.5 to get it working.

Another option would be to add a connection profile for h2o wireless that would be chosen in place of the standard ATT profile under sim settings. I don't think I'll be able to do that until the 1520 is supported with this tool though.

Thanks for the help. Any ideas are always welcomed.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I only have some of these models. Personally I like the 920. But I have no experience with 1020 and 1320.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] mokokawi:
When will the 1520 be supported
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] djamol:
If you have better understanding about the WPInternal you can manually unlock 1520.

I saw many guy's unlocked their 1520 with/without WPInternal and flashed Custom ROM's :D
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] mokokawi:
Well it wish the would post how to do it,this program still doesn't have the 1520 listed on the first post
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] mybabysexy:
8.1.2 should be supported :(
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MrCego:
I have experimented that loop when try boot unlock. I'm thinking it is due to sbl3 file. Lumia 620.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] A AJAY:
Yup..thanks to provide such a powerful tool.this time got suceess to interop+capability +mass storage on my Lumia 720....working good. .no problem appear at now
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MrCego:
Good. Some guy here post a SBL3 package with guessed correct files. I'm going to try with Dev ROM from Lumia 820, then.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] A AJAY:
Hey..i suggest one idea its worked for me remove your SDcard and soft reset .it might be worked..bcz I faced same situation with WPinternal 1.0..try to do this...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] werty100:
I have a question any one in any rom with unlocked bootloader can flash a custom rom modificated and full unlock? Ex: Someone in win8.1 only unlocked bootlader , can flash lastes build of win 10 customized and full unlocked with out any probelm or he/she has to first used the legal mehtod of insider to update to the same build??
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] werty100:
On Win7 the WP Internals hangs triying to put phone on Flash Mode
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] reeg420:
That would be awesome. Do you have any links with a discussion or partial instructions?

In this thread maybe? I'll start reading it tonight seems like a good read anyway.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MrCego:
Don't work on my L620, so no.

[MENTION=3254428]Heathcliff74[/MENTION], a little question. Due to I'm not able to enable mass storage on my L620 because There is not SLB3 Eng file, Is it possible to create a backup from my phone enabling full fs access via root xap tools?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Haha. No offence taken! :p

Using my SDK it should really be quite easy to develop an app similar to WP7 Root Tools, which applies Interop Unlock and a policy editor for apps, based on different methods of capability unlock. Currently I want to focus on unlocking the new Lumia's. I also have plans to work on an unlock app, but I don't have enough time to work on both. And that's why I released the SDK. I hope other developers / hackers will work on that.

Custom ROM's and updatability will always be an issue. When you are running a Custom ROM, it is probably best to update only by manually sending cab-files. Especially in the early stages, it will all be a bit experimental.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Such a long story :D

I suspect you still have the wrong ROM flashed. After a full flash with the correct ROM all drivers should always be working correctly.

In mass storage mode you can replace drivers, because the OS isn't loaded at that moment.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I suspect that is all fake. The only possible unlocks for Lumia 1520 I am aware of are related to app-hijacking and the TFTP file-system-hack. But neither of those allow using Custom ROM's.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
OS versions 8.10.15116.125 and 8.10.15148.160 are both supported. And those versions are both 8.1 GDR2. But there are other builds too, which are not supported.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Nice. What SBL3 did you use? Lumia 720 has MSM8227A. Lumia 520 and 620 have MSM8227. Not exactly the same, but SBL3 might work on Lumia 720?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Custom ROM with Windows 10 Mobile can be flashed to a phone with an old OS version. Partition-layout can be different, but Windows Phone Internals will write a new partition-table for you. Obviously the bootloader must first be unlocked. And Custom ROM's are model-specific (just like stock ROM's). So, it must be a Custom ROM, which is created by someone with the same phone-model.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Probably a driver issue. Read the "Getting started" section of the tool and make sure you have all the correct drivers installed.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] werty100:
Win7 is not working with your tool , but the same mehtod with win10 all the same same computer same drivers yes...:confused:

I am doing a tutorial for spanish people and then i will try when i have time a custom rom thanks for helping my with this dude about customs roms
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Ok. Nice that it is working on Windows 10. But the problem is not Windows 7. I'm sure it works on Windows 7 too. I still think you have a driver issue on that Windows 7 machine.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] werty100:
Ok, I will reinstall win7 drivers , but it is the same procedure i follow on win10 and it works...

Yup,I used sbl3 for the Lumia 520 as some one gives that zip..thanks for that..lumia 520 sbl3 work on my Lumia 720 perfect...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MrCego:
Perfect!! Good news!! I will try with that SBL3. The specific Lumia 620 doesn't works, issuing a emergency flash loop.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
This is a problem with your account on the PC. Your account doesn't seem to have administrator-privileges. What OS are you using? Try these:

- Start wpinternals.exe by right-click and "run as admin"

- Log in windows with a different account with Localadmin privileges

- Temporary disable anti-virus

- Or try on a completely different computer.

Please let me know the results.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] djamol:
1. Flashing same concept as WPInternal through emergency protocol might be possible though.

2. One of public hack which allows you to flash custom ffu image without unlocking SB. That wojtek already said that's possible in many threads.

3. Some of private hack that I can't tell in public.

But of course your tool.. Hats offffff...!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Emergency mode has MANY limitations. Emergency mode on MSM8974 and higher have even more limitations. You can write only specific locations on the phone (full flash is not possible). Payload has integrity checks (custom payload cannot be flashed). Once flashed to the device, there is still SecureBoot, so phone will not boot custom code.

I have not seen these in action. I believe it when I see it. If Lumia 1520 was hacked, wouldn't it be big news by now?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I still don't get what you want. You want Windows Phone Internals in Turkish? My app is not a "legacy app". My tool is WPF based, so it is already unicode. If you wish to extract text from the tool, this is not possible due to protection.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Glad you got it working. Thanks for testing and reporting the details!! Someone else mentioned this problem on Windows 7. I had a hard time believing it had to do with Windows 7, but now I start to doubt. Possibly I need to use different privileges on Windows 7 to apply patches on the phone. I will do more testing.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Dude360:
No worries, I modify my Windows indexes quite heavily before deployment so I always assume its one of the tweaks or something Ive removed that causes the problems but if its happened to someone else then I always blame Microsoft :D

Im very new to WP8, have always shyed away due to the 'lockdown' but thanks to WPI I might pay a little more interest to the scene!

Thanks again :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MrCego:
Ok, thanks to [MENTION=6749434]A AJAY[/MENTION] for the tip. This SBL3 works fine to enabling mass-storage mode in Lumias 520, 620 and 720. Tested today :D.

Unlocking bootloader on 1520 it's so easy...

I've 640 BootLoader Unlocked,

Even, On 950 also possible but not yet tested.

I can't share more info because promise to author. This hack original not based on any hacks.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MrCego:
Question: when I restore bootloader, why is mandatory flash a stock rom? Why don't happened the same like happen when unlock boot?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Because it is a "half flash". And when the bootloader is locked, it is not possible to simply escape from Flash mode. I know another method which possibly works as you want, but I need to implement that in a future version.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MrCego:
It would be awesome. Waiting for that.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] derausgewanderte:

sound problem that originated? :confused:
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] winphouser:
+640XL LTE single-sim RM-1062, I'm also looking for this!

I now think it's like this though (as opposed to what gsmarena says)

640, 640XL = MSM8226

640 LTE, 640XL LTE = MSM8926

I read that only 8926 supports LTE and on my phone

Settings ➡ System ➡ About says "Chip SOC version: 8926"
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
No, it is not where the problem originates. But it is indeed the location where I apply the work-around for this problem.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Please keep it on-topic. It would be great if these devices get unlocked. But so far I have not seen anything in action, so it is only speculation. I have heard too many times from people who thought they had found an unlock, but it was just a bad hunch. If these unlocks exist, they deserve their own thread. This thread is about Windows Phone Internals.

Bootloader of my Lumia 920 got relocked again after upgrading from 10.0.10586.29 to 10.0.10586.36.. Do I have to roll back to WP8.1 to unlock it again..?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
NICE! What was the problem?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] werty100:
I dont know my phone still upgrading ... I have install win8.1 clean ffu then update to lastest win 8.1 , and then unlocked bootloader, and i install widnwos insider and I update to win10 10.0.10586.29 and i still flashing, the plan is them to continue update and when the are not more updates, Enable Root Access and perform a hard reset, i will coment...

Maybe Microsoft have path the unlock bootloader when you upgrade to new SO
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I doubt this has to do with the last update. The Windows 10 updates so far have not overwritten the bootloaders. I did the update myself and the bootloader was still unlocked. Or do you mean that you had to disable Root Access?

If you want to unlock the bootloader on Windows 10, you can follow the same procedure. But there is a risk. If your partition layout was changed during the updates (probably not, but not sure), then your phone won't boot properly after unlocking the bootloader. You can still recover from that, because you can still flash a stock ROM or custom ROM after that. But your data on the phone will obviously be gone then.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] mybabysexy:

I have try to restore phone via Settings app and it briked the phone

I am flashing win8.1 another tiem to recover it...

How can you perform a hard reset for making a dump FFU with win10 , still working the combo bottons for hard reset of win8.1?¿
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MrCego:
yep, sure.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I did it many times. Doing reset using Settings-app and also using key-combo's. Also with latest Windows 10 build. Not sure what went wrong with with your phone. What exactly is bricked? Did you follow the procedure, which I described in the "Build and capture" section?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MrCego:
[MENTION=3254428]Heathcliff74[/MENTION], when I create a captured clean ROM from W10M, are partitions unlocked by default?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Root Access survives a hard reset. So, the state of your clean ROM depend on the state of your phone when you capture it. If your phone does not have Root Access when you capture it, your ROM will also not gave Root Access. But it is possible to enable Root Access on the ROM image. You can also see that in my instruction-video.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] werty100:
Your tool works with RAR format for flasing customs roms?¿ because i have used RAR for compresign a rom and i got a very good compresion just 1GB from the original 30GBs
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
No. It only accepts zip-format. You can use zip with high-compression.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] _wook_:
What about different method of backing up the Data partition? I don't use much space on my L1020.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
You can backup as zip-file. It compresses on-the-fly. What else do you need?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] _wook_:
I was thinking more like unix style backup (or tape)...but it's not flashable though...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I still don't see the problem. The resulting backup in zip-file IS flashable, because the "Flash archive" function in Windows Phone Internals decompresses the archives on the fly (in memory) and flashes the containing partitions straight to the phone.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
WPinternals 1.2 released

A small update this time. Changes in this version:

Compatibility improvement for Windows 7. In previous versions "Enable Root Access" could result in "Failed to enable Root Access on MainOS".

"Restore bootloader" now uses a different Flashing interface. Previously, when you restored the bootloader, you were forced to do a full flash afterwards. With this new method you can keep your current Windows Phone installation. Remember that you need to disable Root Access before you restore the bootloader.

Many small fixes and tweaks.

Happy hacking!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MrCego:
You mean restore bootloader, right?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] pdaimatejam:

Hi Heathcliff74! Thank you for your great job! I successfully unlocked a Lumia 820 phone with Windos Phone 8.1.

I have only a question. Now I have a unlocked phone with root access and registry access, but how can I access to the file system and to the registry? There are some Windows Phone applications compatible with WP Internals with the ability to access to file system and/or to registry?
