I have gotten step one and two done in vcreg, but when I open vcreg and select x50 unlock, the app crashes and goes back to the app drawer. Any solutions for this? I have googled and have found nothing.

Actually I rebooted the phone again and was able to go to step 3 but I get a copy file error: 2147942432

Hi All

I tried to install vcreg on Lumia 950 with Fall Creators Update (build Build 15254.1). I followed the steps and was able to tick the checkbox “Live Interop/Capability Unlock and click Apply. Got confirmation that the checkbox was applied successfully. I tried to use vcreg to create a touch registry setting, but could not create a registry value in HKLM\System\Touch\Settings. What do I miss here?
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] dxdy:
use Interop Tools for interop unlock and registry editor (browser)...

Apologies for dumb question, but https://xdaforums.com/windows-10-mo...app-interop-tools-versatile-registry-t3445271 advises that I need to use vcreg for interop unlock. The Interop Tools L also state same thing in the Unlock section.

After update to 10.0.15254.12 I lost access to registry. I also tried to make all steps again, but it's impossible to install vcreg app :( I don't know what's the problem, I can't also update any app from Store or install new ones :/
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] dxdy:
only what left is hard reset or flash with WDRT....

No, no, I never restore my backup.

Today I made hard reset (once again), now it's working well (Lumia 650, build 10.0.15254.12). Probably after next update problem will appear again :/ Thank you for answer!

I know this is a ridiculous question, but just to be completely clear: All of this is useless unless I have a PC to use with my 950, right?

If that's the case, do I have any options for Interop Unlock, so I can use Interop Tools to increase my Pagingfile values? Thanks in advance

you need PC to make interop unlock on x50 (950) device

Hi everybody:

I have a Lumia 950 and I'm trying to extract messages.db from WhatsApp and to do this I need to have access to Phone\Data\USERS\DefApps\APPDATA\LOCAL\Packages\5319275A.WhatsApp_cv1g1gvanyjgm\LocalState. But I can't do it.

I have followed instructions from here:

- winwazzapmigrator.com - unlocking-x50-windows-phones

- winwazzapmigrator.com - /faq/windows-how-extract-messagesdb

I'm going to explain all the steps I have followed:

- Hard Reset (Not using a backup to restore).

- Install Interop Tools (Preview)

- Install vcREG and complete steps 1, 2 and 3. Reboot.

- Select "Live Interop/Capability Unlock" and "Restore NDTKsvc 950/XL". Apply and reboot.

- In Interop, I enable "Restore NDTKSvc". Reboot.

- After that, when I try to enable "Full Filesystem Access", I can't do it.

- Now I can't disabled "Restore NDTKSvc" and when I go to vcREG appears a message saying "NDTKSvc Not Loaded".

Am I doing anything wrong?

Regards from Spain.
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] dxdy:
you doing everything wrong because you cant use full system access on 950XL. not working... you messed up system with that and you must do hard reset to fix that.

only way on 950XL to access file system is bootloader unlocking with WP Internals 2.3

also, why you not use backup in WhatsApp to backup messages?
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] jotabe87:
Ok, I'll try with WP Internals 2.3. Is there any guide I can use to do it?

I want to migrate WhatsApp to Android, so I need a decrypted messages.db to use Winwazzapmigrator app and the backup in WhatsApp creates an encrypted messages.db
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] muhammad_h:
You've done 2 things wrong.

1. You've enabled "restore NDTKSvc"

2. You've enabled "Full Filesystem Access" on an x50 while the in the information it was clearly stated not to enable full file system access on x50 devices..

I'm afraid you have to use WDRT and start all over again.

Good luck.
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] alexdiabolo:
Hi@all, i made the same mistake like jotabe87

Hi muhammad_h you told jotabe87 that he don t enable "restore NDTKSvc" did you mean it in vcreg or in interop or both?

And how we can get full access to the filesystem.

I Have 950XL too and want it to migrate whatsapp to Android, too
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] fwtrtdfdgh:
Here is how

Once you've got Interop tools properly installed, unplug phone from USB if plugged

Starting Interop tools, go through initial steps, then select "This device", NOT "This device (through provider extentions)", then obviously hit "Use this provider" button.

Go to top left hamburger menu, select "Unlock", then "Interop Unlock", then ONLY check "Interop/Cap Unlock" and "New Capability Engine Unlock"

Do not touch anything else!!!

Close Interop tools app and reboot. No matter if you turn it on and then off or you use Power+Volume down combination to force reboot

Once back in OS, open Interop tools and again select "This device", not "This device (through provider extentions)"

Top left hamburger menu again, select "Unlock", then "Interop Unlock", then re-check "Interop/Cap Unlock". Most probably you've got it back to off. I always have it off after reboot on all my 950, 950XL and 950XL DS. Only stays on after reboot on my Alcatel Idol 4S.

After "Interop/Cap Unlock" been re-checked (meaning turned on), go to top left hamburger menu, select Registry Browser

Then browse to:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MTP\DataStore

and change String (REG_SZ) value there to C:\

Close Interop tools app and reboot phone

Once in OS, connect your phone to PC/Laptop, whatever, by USB and see the result. Do not care about "Interop/Cap Unlock" being on or off in Interop tools

If you see all folders on your phone, then you're good to go.

If not, then unplug phone from USB and turn it off. When off, re-connect USB, phone turns automatically on

Then you should have full access.

On my Lumia 950 and Alcatel Idol 4S it works without plugging USB when phone off, on 950XL and 950XL DS it only works when plug USB with phone off.

Those 950 series are weird.

ONE THING THOUGH - do not expect to be able to copy back to phone!!! For that you have to be in "Mass Storage" mode. You'll be only able to copy FROM phone, but for your backup purposes it should be just fine.

Best regards

[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] JuanMR2:
Hello all, wondering if someone could help me. I have a Lumia 950XL and I need to migrate my WhatsApp database to Android, in order to use the Winwazzapmigrator app. I have read through the whole thread and I have deployed vcREG to my phone and followed steps 1,2 and 3 successfully (Skipped this part click on the “Live Interop/Capability Unlock” checkbox and hit Apply as per the comments in this thread).

Following the above instructions, I installed Interop Tools (Store), selected "This device (S Experimental)" from the drop down menu, selected Use this provider, went the menu at the top left, Unlock then Interop Unlock. The next step is where I'm stuck, I toggle Interop/Cap Unlock but after about 1-2 minutes of "working..." at the top it goes back to off and it won't allow me to toggle the next item. I have tried to reboot. I have also tried to start from the beginning and redeploy vgREG and follow the steps again but I run into the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?

edit: I've also tried the above in order to access the whatsapp database but it won't save the changes

Did WhatsApp stop allowing backups to be saved to OneDrive? Maybe you are trying to copy a different db file then what onedrive backs up...?

You are basically trying to get full filesystem access to a 950/950 XL. Sounds like you are using a version of interop tools directly from the store that might not play well completely with your Lumia. I always sideload InteropTools version 2.0.79.0. Then as long as I have acersystemservice loaded with the older ndtk files in place (explained at the beginning of this thread) I enable Full SFTP access. Doing that with user System under the SSH account manager. Using the Swish sftp app I access the 950 XL files that way.

Reading some of the other threads here it appears certain folks attempted and found a way to enable MTP on the 950 XL again, but I have always had no luck on that ending up hard resetting the phone to fix issues...
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] JuanMR2:
Hey, thanks for the reply. WhatsApp on Windows 10 Mobile does backup to OneDrive but there is no way to restore the db directly from WhatsApp in Android. From what I read even if you copy the backed up db from OneDrive to Googe Drive it won't work because the backup is encrypted and on top of that the db structures from WP to Android are different.

Hence why you need to use an app like Winwazzapmigrator, it converts the db structure from WP to android. But first you need to unlock your phone and then extract the archive messages.db as per this page www dot winwazzapmigrator dot com/faq/windows-how-extract-messagesdb For the 950/XL you need to use vcREG then InteropTools.

I just downloaded and tried sideloading InteropTools (Preview) 2.0.94.0 it seems to be the same version that is in the Windows App store. When I open it, it says "This device (through provider extentions)" but I am following [MENTION=8828877]fwtrtdfdgh[/MENTION] instructions and he says select "This device", NOT "This device (through provider extentions)" which is why I am using the regular InteropTools (Store) because it gives me the option to select "This device". Even in InteropTools 2.0.94.0 it doesn't allow me to enable any of the options under Unlock/Interop Unlock. Any other way for me to access the messages.db required by winazzappmigrator?
[Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games] nate0:
[MENTION=9268327]JuanMR2[/MENTION]

Just as you stated above...You are going to need to install the acersystemservice package and have the new ndtk files in place with vcreg from the first post. If that is known to be good, then try the version of interop tools the dev attached to the official thread here. Side load it. The for sure way I know to access all the files on the 950/XL is via sftp. I won't try another route like MTP because I have never been fortunate to get that to work correctly. If you still cannot edit the registry then it is possible you mixed up some steps or missed something along the way. Start over from the beginning....
