I was successful with the L520, all updated. When I went to unlock the bootloader on a Lumia 925 WPI stopped responding and lost connection. and closed. I tried to soft reset (power+vol down), and even unplugged the battery, no response on USB, not even DLOAD. The unit was at 100% charge during the testing. My goal was to back it up in flash mode, but had a crash. Will keep searching for solutions. Just when I had everything working flawless! lol

Thanks!

I have a 640 on the way in case I can't get the 925 back. Win some, lose some! haha

Using WPinternals to stip down phone to just dial and Txt

This might seem like a strange idea. I have several Windows phones, 950, 640, 640XL, and I want to take one of them and turn it into just a phone that can TXT and make phone calls. I would prefer for the phone to have no internet access, no, GPS, maybe the ability to install a few useful apps, like people, calculator, no more, no less...

I love Windows phones, I have been a fan since 2010. I want to have a slimed down easy to use phone with a few options I can add on. Is this possible, (relatively easy) using WP-internals, and a custom rom?

I have started using Android, but sorry guys, Android sucks, (iPhone too). I have always wanted a touch screen phone that is completely open that I can just do what I'm asking here. Why are there no phones, that can do what I'm asking? maybe there are and I just don't know about them. (no I don't want a flip phone).

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] StuckonWM:
HI aatron,

I can confirm!

only - imo as the technique on the 930 is other as on the older devices, WPI 2.3 - on my W7 x64 WPI 2.4 does not work - does not show that the bootloader is unlocked :eek:

but, this does not matter as the security later on, on UEFI boot stages is unlocked :good: and hence you can switch to MassStorageMode...make backups of the partitions...restore those partitions:D

It all works very well:good:

Only I did not try to unroot for now:angel:

I'm having problems launching tool on Nokia 920

help please ….

i downloaded both latest and earlier zip file both with same problem.... i first suspended my virus checker eset

then i extract the tool onto my pc

then connect my nokia 920 to the pc using a usb cable

i copy the exe tool to the phones download directory

but when i disconnect the phone and double click the tool

i get message something went wrong cannot launch,,,

if i launch the tool on my pc it loads fine like your screenshots...

help...…. please

george
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] geosz:
not sure what your question asked... please clarify

your question is why copy tool onto the phone???

answer: i assumed that you launched the tool from the phone and i have no sim in this old phone... if i can get the tool working i plan to install either android or Linux o the phone, insert another sim and use it....

so my revised question is - do you launch the tool on a laptop and expect the phone to be connected to the laptop??? seems unlikely... but nothing is improbable... please advise

Hi, I'm trying to do this but I get the Error: Unexpected error during scanning for loaders.

So i went through some threads and it seems it's a HEX file error having to do with my RKH, I found it on the WPInternals but i'm stuck trying to get it to work. Does anyone know how I can get this: 00E9427DF118D9E27D098D13BECB6C6C89CE59F4ECCF5549C49BC0DB952A6BB4 hex file?

Hi fellows! I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of a Lumia 950 XL. I have installed WDRT, so I have the drivers. And I have unlocked this phone before, but I had to flash an original FFU due to a problem.

Now, I'm unable to unlock the bootloader. It keeps on saying "unlock process failed" or something similar. I'm on a compatible SO, too.

NOTE: I've recorded a video of the process. Please, watch: https://youtu.be/2EZT0gGZ2Fc

Has anybody faced this situation? What can I do to make the unlock process be successful? Thanks a lot!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] augustinionut:
Wait another WM10 build or unlock on older build.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] SuperJMN:
It seem I got it working!!

This is what I did:

1. I restored the bootloader (re-locked), although it wasn't unlocked.

2. Tried to unlock again.

This time, it succeeded :D

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Pikachuk:
is there a kind of list of backups of the original insider windows 10 builds that were released and then removed for unsupported phones such as the lumia 625 ? (not custom roms, i don't want to have to register to the windowsmania website and everything for a custom rom with their own watermark when i simply want the original one)

i tried the registry edit to get manually the windows 10 builds, but it seems like the insider app doesn't work anymore on windows 8.1, i get a server error

Rooting 950 Dual sim

I tried to root my Lumia 950 Dual SIM. I have Os version 10.0.15254.489 (which is different from some items in the list of confirmed working versions by just the last two digits). I managed to unlock the bootloader but failed to root the device. Is that expected?

I was actually after transferring my Whatsapp messages into a new Android phone, I read on the internets I need to get root in WP to decrypt the database with the messages. Since I had the phone in mass storage, would it be possible to find a key to the database there somewhere so that I could decypher it manually?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] zeizieh:
Now it has changed from QHSUSB_DLOAD mode to QHSUSB_ARMPRG by itself.

When it was in DLOAD mode I tried programming using thor2, a hex file & and a mbn file on my Win7 laptop with instructions from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/windows-phone-8/development/help-programmer-unbrick-jtag-t3082592 but it didn't work (thor2 said something like: the hex file is a safe hex file but has bad offsets, so it's not going to write it)

I think I have the correct hex file for my phone now (filename matches what thor2 said is the RKH when extracting the FFU file for my phone) but I can't even try to program it, I guess because the phone has switched to ARMPRG mode while it was unplugged. :\ At least thor2 is now complaining about the device not being in dload mode.

So any ideas? It's going to be a few weeks minimum before I get the torx bits I ordered... can I try anything else before I get them and can disconnect the battery?

Non SMBL Tutorial

So... for devices that lack an SMBL for them, are there tutorials on how to unlock their bootloaders? such as the 928, 1320, etc... I would assume that the 925 file could work, but you know the old saying about assuming...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] zeizieh:
I managed to unbrick my 920. I found the same instructions elsewhere on the net, but with the missing pics and some important additional explanations such as: "SAFE hex file was used and unallowed memory address was being written PROBABLY means bootloader flashed, Reboot the phone (pull usb and battery out), If you still get QHSUSB, try again. You should get Red screen in 5 tries". Also somewhere else somebody mentioned that keeping the power button pressed for 15 seconds can reset the phone without disconnecting the battery which was helpful.

I will try installing a hacked version of Windows Phone with WPInternals again later when I get Win10 setup on my old laptop or if somebody can tell me why WPInternals always crashes on startup in Win7 and how to fix it. I guess I could also try Win8.1 if that works with WPInternals, in some ways it sucks less than Win10.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] zeizieh:
I bricked it again, and now it doesn't even get recognized by a PC at all.

After unbricking last time, I started playing around with WPInternals again. I could get bootloader unlocking in WPInternals working fine but enabling root access by using mass storage mode never worked right for some reason (even though I've got an engineering SBL3 binary for this phone...) so I thought I'd do it by modifiying the partitions. Flashing the modified partitions back to the phone using WPInternals didn't work out so well, first time I did it EFISP flashed 100% but MainOS got stuck on 80%. So I rebooted the phone and Win10 virtual machine and flashed the original FFU back which worked, then I tried flashing EFISP + MainOS again and this time it got stuck right at the start at 0%. I unplugged cable, replugged it, at this point the phone was still in flash mode. I selected reboot in normal mode from WPInternals, and the phone went into QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.

I tried connecting it to my Win7 laptop and used thor2 to write the HEX + MBN files to it again, but this time I couldn't get the phone to boot to the red screen by unplugging and plugging the cable and fiddling with the power button, instead it was stuck in QHSUSB_ARMPRG mode. Then I tried holding the power button plus volume down key and now it's just nothing, phone doesn't get recognized at all when I plug it into a computer...

I really wish I had the necessary screwdriver already to try unplugging the battery, though I don't know if that would work. Is there any special key combo I can make it go into DLOAD mode again or maybe try booting into the red screen flashing mode... because thor2 already wrote the hex and mbn it should work just like last time, right?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] PrimaCora:
Ah, thank you (thanks button clicked too), managed to get it working, now I just have to figure out what I'll do with it. The software author is amazing for doing this, and yourself is just as amazing for that tutorial on this. I found it shortly after :p
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] supsupsup:
I will try my question again:

1) Is Lumia 950 Dual SIM supported (as opposed to single SIM - I am not sure if the number of SIMS make a difference)

2) If I am on a different build (10.0.15254.489) than are the ones listed in WPI as working, does it matter (I guess it does)?

3) If the build number matters, how can I downgrade to a supported build (tried googling it but only got links for some insider program which I am not part of)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] drearyworlds:
I am in the same boat. I have .489 as well. I can't get it to work, so I am assuming it is not supported. The only way I know to rollback is using WDRT, but I haven't done it yet.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] supsupsup:
If you succeed, it would be great if you gave me thumbs up that it works. I tried contacting the author of WPI about it. (because the FAQ on the site are outdated anyway)

Hi guys, i have a lumia 1320 with "unable to find boot options" error. On the internet i read thah an atf box is needed but on this thread, someone said it's also possible to connect R3209 resistor to the ground in order to remove eMMC write protection. Is this procedure valid for lumia 1320?

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] gmirz2005:
I made a program!

I made a program that unbricks your device from QHSUSB_DLOAD, QHUSB_DLOAD.

It's called...

Windows Phone Unbrick Tool (WPUT)

It comes with an installer.

NOTE:

1. You should enter the license key that is provided in the License Agreement section (for checking that you are not a bot, so don't use autoinstaller!

2. You must download your emergency HEX and MBN files from lumiafirmware.com

3. You must specify the correct path to the HEX/MBN files otherwise the program will fail!

4. If the unbricking succeeds remove your battery from your device for 1 minute and put it back on

5. Charge the device for at least 30 minutes before turning it on!

Download it here

I have a question here.. aren't the mbn and hex files are same for a specific model?? Or they differ in variants like variant of india and Singapore??
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] gmirz2005:
No! Of course the MBN/HEX files are specific!

You need to get the correct MBn and HEX files that are equal to your ffu and product code! As the bootloader versions are very different from each other :)

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] gmirz2005:
You don't get me right!

Different product codes have different bootloader versions in the provided OS as the product codes are "Variants" of the device!

When you download an FFU file that is equal to your Product Code, it has different bootloader from others, but that doesn't mean that there are no any other firmwares for other product codes that have the same bootloader.

For example I download the stock FFU from lumiafirmware.com and it says there that the FIRMWARE VERSION (bootloader version) is 3051.50009.1424.0008 and it has different emergency files, so that's why you need to have the SAME emergency files for the SAME correct product code FFU file!

Otherwise your device may fail to restore it's bootloader, or in the worst scenario even not to boot to Emergency Mode (completely bricked, needs JTAG)

Then i am in some trouble.. my lumia 525's product code had been faded away.. and it is now in emergency mode.. any way to get it's product code?? Is it written in it's circuit or somewhere else?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] gmirz2005:
OK, I got it!

Don't worry, as you have got your Lumia 525 in Emergency Mode, you need to do the following things:

1. Calm down

2. Download latest version of Windows Device Recovery Tool

3. Install it

4. Start it

5. Click "My Device is not detected"

6. If WDRT shows your device, click it and wait, until emergency flashing finished

6.1. If WDRT tries to flash and says that it's failed, disconnect

the device, remove the battery, wait 15 seconds, insert the battery, connect the device to computer and retry, now it should finish and start installing the firmware for your device!

7. If your device is not shown in the WDRT, you need to do the following things:

7.1. Open lumiafirmware.com

7.2. In the search box, write your model name ( RM-XXX )

7.3. Click enter, and wait until a list of product codes is shown

7.4. Choose a random one

7.5. Download the emergency files

7.6. Download and install my program called Windows Phone Unbrick Tool (download link is located one of my threads)

7.7. Open the folder where the emergency files are downloaded

7.8. Copy the path of the emergency files to text fields

7.9. Click START

8.0. If fails to recover your device, try once again

8.1. Remove your battery for 1 minute and reinsert it

8.2. Now charge your phone and connect it to computer

8.3. Open WDRT and click "My Device is not detected"

8.4. Click LUMIA and boom!

8.5. Your device has been detected

8.6. Now start recovering your device
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] gmirz2005:
yes but this time it doesn't matter as the device has corrupted OS and doesn't need a unique emergency file, but after recovery, it's recommended to flash the correct files

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

Just transfer money to another creditcard and yes

actually having the creditcard data is harmless as you need to know the card holder name, validation end date, and cvc code as well as security code....

So.... yeah why not?
