Lumia 550 running 10.0.14393.693

I have followed your instructions exactly (thank you for writing them!), but have a problem:

1. Turned on developer mode

2. Sideload vcREG_1_6_W10.xap

3. Click step 1 in vcREG

4. Install Acer service with iutool.exe

5. Get error 0x8024a110, left phone for 10 minutes then soft reset (volume down + power) and got the gears and it booted fine.

6. Copied newndtksvc.dll and ndtksvc.dll to your the root of the "Documents" folder on my phone through USB (This PC\Windows phone\Phone\Documents).

7. Open vcREG. Get error "Error: NDTKSvc Not Loaded".

8. Go to the app bar, then choose x50 series unlock.

9. Press Step 2. App crashes to app drawer.

Any ideas how to go beyond this step?
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] dxdy:
phone must reset itself, not by buttons....

when you use iutool, go to phone update settings and see did phone prepare updates
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] bertles86:
Ah but with the error I got I followed [MENTION=6655208]vcfan[/MENTION] instructions, tried the command again, waited, waited and then did a soft reset as instructed in the first post.

So I don't think it's that.

Someone mentioned it could be because the app "Extras+Info" (or "Advanced Info") has updated, which blocks Interop unlocks?

thanks for the heads up.
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] garisa:
Can you tell how could I sideload vcREG? It's about a Lumia 532 which is now on Windows 10 Mobile, and which came with Windows Phone 8.1.

EDIT: I tried to use some of these tools you were suggesting, and some of those tools from some other tutorials, and it just didn't work... Some things didn't work, and some things I couldn't find from where to download. Including some if the things for which links were given...

I would be grateful of somebody could show a concrete tutorial of how to install vcREG which should work. I have a Windows 7 PC btw.
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] vcfan:
which version of iutool did you use? must use this version on redstone builds of w10m. you must get gears screen after applying any package, or else you risk getting errors like ndtk. rule of thumb is, if no gears, then don't proceed to next steps until you get it.

also because of the ndtk error, you might have to HardReset since now the ndtk reg entry is pointing to the wrong binary, therefore we cant even use ndtk to set the value back. I'm not certain if other reg editors have the correct caps to correctly set it.

few posts ago i wrote instruction for Lumia 550 how to deploy xap file.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71269427&postcount=264
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] garisa:
I will first try the dxdy's way, and only if I fail, I will come back to this. Just not to bring any confusion.

You wrote that I should get Windows Phone SKD's 8.0 and 8.1 Lite by instructions from the thread [TUTORIAL] Deploy XAPs easily with WPV Xap Deployer. There I get the download links from Zippyshare.com, but on neither on those two pages I can see the download button. There is one add banner which says "Download", but it wants to install some cr*p on my computer instead, and there are three adds bellow like "Install this and that", but none of them is what I need. I'm I missing something?

I have successfully downloaded WPV XAP Deployer Tool by the way.

I believe I actually need it. I installed Interop Tools on Lumia 532, and once I opened it and tried to interop unlock it, the application gave me message that this works only for x5x phones, not for those who came with Windows Phone 8.1.
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] dxdy:
but you only need Interop Tools

(arm version) https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71000190&postcount=607

for Lumia 532 you dont need to deploy vcREG and dont need uitool because this is only for Lumia 550, 650, 950 and 950XL
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] garisa:
I have tried to do it with Interop Tools, but it won't do the job for older Lumia devices which came with Windows Phone 8.1. It would be awesome of Interop Tools could do that, as it is installed on the phone way simpler, and with no help of PC.
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] dxdy:
i always use only Interop Tools on older WP8.1 devices with W10M... vcREG use only with x50 series

which build are on your Lumia?
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] garisa:
This is the message I'm getting. And when I try to tap on interop unlock to turn it on, it goes if again right away.

It us the latest build on production channel, 10.0.14393.953.

Maybe I should try something else?

The version of Interop Tools is 1.9.437.0. I think it's the latest version.

[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] dxdy:
if you cant enable Interop/cap unlock and New Capability Engine unlock, slide lower and select Restore NDTKSvc (if you cant slide, lower zoom in screen settings). wait 30 seconds, restart phone, start Interop Tools again and now try interop unlock
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] garisa:
I have tried it right now. This us how it looks like on Lumia 532 now.

But when I restart the phone, the interop unlock option goes off again, while the other two options stay on.

I have tried to install Skype again with these options on, but it still gives me this same message.

(This is screenshot from Lumia 730, I decided to post this one because on Lumia 532 the same message is in Serbian.)

I guess there are two options now... Or the Skype xap file which I got from appx4fun is not good, or I haven't managed to interop unlock the phone yet (which is likely since the interop unlock option goes off after restart). Or both...

[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] dxdy:
You cant use original xap files because is encrypted. You need patched xap for deploy from PC
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] garisa:
So, I first need to find a patched xap file... What was then the point in sharing that Skype xap in the first place... :( So with this xap file I wouldn't have any luck even if I managed to deploy the xap from a PC? Asking just in case. If that's so, I should give up on learning more on how to deploy stuff from PC, at least until I find a patched Skype xap.

Anyway, even if that's the case, I did learn some useful stuff in the process, so it wasn't all in vain.

Changing Model Number

Hello,

I'm a bit new to this thread (topic), and I was wondering if someone could teach me how to modify the model number of my Samsung Ativ SE to Lumia 930. Currently I've successfully flashed Win10 offline to it, but I still need to change the model number to a similar Lumia model, which is 930, so that I can receive stable OTA. I have Interop Tools installed on the phone, but I just don't know which registry belongs to modifying phone model.

Much appreciated for your help.

Thanks,

Xap to Appx?

[MENTION=939315]dxdy[/MENTION]

Can you convert the xap file to appx or appxbundle? I tried to change the file extension to .zip and I was able to view the assets and the whole app code. Then I had the idea to pack the code into appx. When I tried to do that there was an error. Maybe the problem is from my side, so if you can try to repack the app to appx, that would be the solution to MANY MANY problems for a lot of people.

Hello. I am having problems unlocking my 950XL:

- Deployed vcReg 1.6.

- Started vcReg, clicked 1st step -> prompted to install Acer Service.

- Installed Acer service through iutool. Phone updated (gears and all).

- After the update copied the 2 .dll's in the Documents folder.

-Ran vcReg, clicked step 2 and told me to reboot.

- rebooted, run vcReg step3 and got the message: copyfile error: 2147942432

I am stuck....

Right now I'm doing this on 10586.318. Did it also on the latest RS2 build in Insider Fast - the same result...

What am I doing wrong? Do I need someother dependencies, settings or anything else? Am I missing a step or doing it wrong? Should I copy the dll's after step 2 or before step 2?

Edit: The phone is in minimal setup mode, meaning that no updates done, not even apps, connected to wi-fi but not signed into the MSFT account. Also, same thing happenswith vcReg 1.7

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, you tweak for setting static IP values does not work anymore on Microsoft Windows 10 Mobile Creators Update (it's deprecated):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WCMSvc\WifiNetworkManager\Config

==> EnableStaticIP = 1

However, you could add the following tweak to Interop Tools in order to protect your privacy by reducing the level of collecting data (telemetry):
