[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] RichJoke:
I don't know, can you confirm I should be able to mount it and explore it as if it were a normal disk then? Maybe it is corrupted, but I thought that unlocking the bootloader would not touch that partition.

Anyway, I tried something else: when I had access to the phone's memory I also did an image of it (using Macrium Reflect), so it's basically a clone. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that but there are tons of unformatted partitions besides the 3 that WP Internals did back up:

Anyway, using the restore feature I mounted the 26GB partition, formatted it, used Recuva and saw that 95% of it was recoverable. I'm still not sure where contacts and SMS are located, but it's easier to get photos back at least. But damn is it a pain in the ass.

No bitlocker enabled, never had.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] RichJoke:
Interesting, I was surprised to see so many partitions. Too bad the important ones seem corrupted then, I've already reset the phone anyway, I'm not gonna try anything more, this takes too long to flash (and since I can't seem to flash my partitions back, that does not interest me). I'll deal with the backups and how I can salvage anything later.

Thanks for your help!

is there any way to do something like this, on lumia 930 ? i try to get data back and looking for a way to access the hard drive. like mass storage mode for recovering or make a 1:1 copy of the hard drive. please help

Hi Heathcliff74, I love your tool WPI which made it possible for my WP8.1 device to get root access in it. However, I don't know if I can ask you this but, Can you add support to this below OS version

WP 8.1 update 2 : 8.10.15137.148.

Plz add it if it is possible, Using the impersonating device hack on my Lumia 925, I managed to install this update (not the final GDR2 update), but I can't get root access in it as the current tool doesn't support it.

sbl3 for Lumia 720 please sir
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Talon Pro:
Im using WPI for [Guide] Installing Windows phone 8.1 GDR2 with/without SD card (X2X Series) at WPC. At the last step where youre supposed to restore the bootloader, i get the error "error: path for loaders is mandatory" but i select the same FFU i unlocked the bootloader with. Any ideas?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Ghoul159:
It says the loaders meaning the emergency files...try to put the directory for that and don't forget about engineering slb3 file too.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Talon Pro:
Yea, i got that it lets you choose a folder on the Unlock side, but it only lets you choose a FILE on the restore side.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Talon Pro:
Weird. I decided to flash the original FFU and start over and it locked the bootloader the first try.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Talon Pro:
Uh no, you didnt read my other post, WPI wasnt locking it following the phone model spoof for Lumias with no SD card.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] adijagiel:
Hello, i have two questions, is this Lumias models list is only for unlocking bootloader, or too for flashing custom ROMs? Because I have Xiaomi Mi4 and it has factory unlocked bootloader. It would be great if I could make custom ROM for this device. Second question: can I update my phone after enable root access by your tool? You said that this may brick phone, but I haven't use your tool to unlock bootloader.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] shahidkazi:
Hi, Sorry to be a n00b, but when i try to unlock my bootloader i keep getting the error "Error: Unexpected error when scanning for loaders" and i could not find much support for it (its just me). Could you help me with what i may be doing wrong?

Phone: Nokia Lumia 1320

Windows Version: 8.10.14234.375

I have the .ffu ( RM994_3058.50000.1424.0_RETAIL_im_india_906_03_482446_prd_signed.ffu ) generated by WDRT and got the emergency loaders from the lumiafirmware site using the product code 059V6V6 (which is also what wpinternals shows)

Any help would be appreciated. Had restored my phone using WDRT and now cant go to W10M coz MS has blocked the upgrades via Release Preview for older Lumias so currently device lying around useless stuck on W8.1
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Talon Pro:
I got that error when opening WPI from a network drive. Copy it to your machine and run it again.

What do you mean MS blocked Release Preview? You cant install Windows Insider?

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

No i completely started over from a fresh WDRT flash and was able to lock it back with WPI.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] shahidkazi:
Its already running from my local drive :( .

You can install Windows Insider and select a Ring, but if you are an unsupported device, you just wont get the update. Earlier Release Preview was working for older Lumias (Production branch), but i guess they are merging it with the Anniversary Update branch and older lumias kicked out.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Talon Pro:
Are the files on your local drive too? Are you logged in as Admin? If not can you try Running as Admin?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] shahidkazi:
yeps. all files are local and running as admin as well.

---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------

Ok. That is something i need to try. Sorry to sound stupid, but what do you mean by "RKH of the phone" ?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] shahidkazi:
Cool. Thanks. Will try it tonight when i get home :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Ghoul159:
Copy the folder to C:\\ and then try unlocking, it should work as it worked for me.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GeoffreyK:
OK, now that MS has blocked older Lumias from getting TH2, is there any way to use Windows Phone Internals to take a full backup of one of these older Lumias running Threshold .494 if the bootloader wasn't unlocked originally? My phone is a 1020 64Gb version with .494, developer unlocked, all capabilities, "full" FS access via MTP. With the current state of affairs, it seems to me that it will *never* be possible to get back to .494 if I try out Redstone on the 1020.

The "unlock" on my 1020 was done with vcreg 1.5 and related tools, but not with Windows Phone Internals (and therefore the bootloader is not unlocked). Is there no way to flash just the bootloader to the phone without reflashing 8.1? I realize this is potentially very dangerous, but wondered if it has ever been achieved. Or whether an app with the right privileges might be able to provide enough read-only access to the full filesystem to be able to back it up or even make a ROM.

If above is not possible, I wonder if the intermediate "hop" to Threshold might make it possible to get a ROM of the latest version of Threshold. What I mean is, flash back to WP8.1, use WP Internals to unlock bootloader and spoof registry to a Redstone enabled phone. Then after the intermediate hop to Threshold, straight away return the phone's ID back to its original settings. Might this then cause an update to the latest Threshold to be triggered (without using Windows Insider) on the phone? One person, however, reported having got as far as the intermediate hop over the weekend (unawares that the phone was being kicked off the insider programme), and that the servers have since refused to provide any further update.

If that doesn't work, then the only alternative will be for us to "beg" Microsoft to provide .494 (or whatever the final Threshold version will be) ROMs on their servers. Unlikely as they're not interested in helping us to keep these old phones limping along. They'd much rather we bought new ones. What they don't understand is that I'm much more likely to stick with Microsoft and buy a Lumia/Surface Phone for my next phone, if I'm "allowed" to tinker with the system and can do exciting things with my old phones....

Wow. that worked. I had the same file names except i had an mbn file instead of a bin file. Where did you get that? :)

But yes, a million thanks to you for helping me out.

Managed to unlock bootloader, but no SBL3 files for 1320, so went round the old way with a bootrapped vcgreg and then using custom pfd to update the registry and get the build via Insider.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] venite:
Hey huys :) L1020 owner here with rather strange problem, but I'd like to have a DENIM update on my Lumia, while the latest firmware on servers appears to be Cyan.

I've read that I can't update OTA when I unlocked my bootloader and enabled root access on my phone - will it harm it permanently? Is there ANY way to get Denim back in my lumia?

It's because I really miss creating folders from tiles on start screen. It's the only thing (beyond better roll) I miss after downgrade from Win10...

Also I've noticed, that unlocked bootloader has kinda "broken" Windows update, because it stops on "checking for updated" forever. I couldn't restore my backup after hard reset as well.

PS. I get an "update has been downloaded, but unable to open it (8007000d)" code.

Thanks for help!

So just to be sure. I unlocked the bootloader and enabled mass storage mode on my 1020 on WP8.1

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] TheBigRic:
Use WPI to create backup

I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question. I'm just taking my first steps in using WPI.

The reason I want to use WPI is because my Nokia Lumia 925 doesn't have an SD card slot an WhatsApp is still unable to backup to OneDrive. Only a backup to an external SD card is supported for moving the chats to a new windows phone.

I was hoping I could make a complete backup to my laptop including the WhatsApp application folder by enabling the Mass Storage Option. After reading the Getting Started I think I understand that if you want root access you first need to flash the device. But flashing will remove all data from the device probably including the backup file from WhatsApp.

So the question is, did I correctly understand the Getting Started guide that I had to flash my device 2 years ago in order to copy the backup file directly from the device? And if yes, is there somebody who has some creative solution to get the backup from WhatsApp to my new phone, so I can restore it there?

Thanks for the trouble!

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] lnsoutdoors:
Has anyone started a "WPinternals for beginners"? , and when i say begginners, i mean, what is flashing, rom, SBL3, root, boot loader. I'm not a coding or software guy by any means, and a glossary would be nice, to at least complement the context in which phrases are used. Basically, I know enough to mess my stuff up, and not enough to fix it:) enough to get in trouble is what i hear most.

I understand what bloatware is, and i know that most of it is an eye sore, virtual clutter, uses space and memory (unnecessarily).

That's really the most i want to change, at this point anyway. I want to remove that junk, which seems like an 'easier' rooting task to get my feet wet. ... I've been able to flash my Lumia 520 then even unlock boot loader, but that's it.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GeoffreyK:
You don't need to unlock it with WP Internals, as you can simply use Interop Tools. This works fine and gives you nearly root access. It's enough to install a HOSTS file based ad-blocker, for example (which I have done on my Lumia 640). Of course it would be nice to be able to install custom ROMs, but as the 640 is supported by MS for Windows 10, it's not as important as it is for older Lumias.
