I have a Lumia 950 and I want to unlock it with wpinternals but I only have an ffu from Lumia firmware website. Will that work with wpinternals??

I wanna install w10 arm on it. Thanks kindly ?

Update- tried to unlock bootloader on a supported build and wpinternals 2.8 failed to find a flashing profile. Pipe" error .. something..

Any ideas???

Edit: can't complete bootloader unlock!! Scanning for flashing profile - failed ?
[Windows 10 Mobile] sev7en:
Good morning, I have the same problem on my Lumia 950XL. Which one is the file to change to bypass the control?
[Windows 10 Mobile] fil3s:
I still can't unlock my 950 with wpinternals 2.9

? In Reddit i encountered this dūde

But no luck :(:(

Edit: for ppl having trouble unlock Lumia 950 try taking sdcard out then it should work. ?did for me
[Windows 10 Mobile] ozzmanj1:
Hey RomLord do you still have the file from that dead MEGA link? Thank you
[Windows 10 Mobile] Riyad_:
Waiting for the Game changer(Wpinternals)...though i unlocked my 525 using old version and made some custom rom(WP off course) for my personal use..Thanks for saving us man :D
[Windows 10 Mobile] Gampanat:
Would be awesome if we could install android apps again in WM10 somehow. Like in the Project Astoria time.

But this will be fun to test ???
[Windows 10 Mobile] david1753y:
When? :)

Hi! When Wp internals 2.2 become available? :(
[Windows 10 Mobile] rger:
WP 2.2

I have the same question. Please answer.
[Windows 10 Mobile] iamarnabdas:
Waiting for Android4Lumia project to start for Lumia 73 after you release WPInternals 2.2! A lot of thanks to you for giving us a hope to use those Lumias again!
[Windows 10 Mobile] kukmikuk:
Ohhh, stil Android, Android....Android will not work continuosly on Lumias!! So, android guys, better to save money for new device!!!

Unlocked Lumias guys, let´s wait for new WPI 2.2 and in the rest of live play with our custom ROMs!
[Windows 10 Mobile] Ani64:
Right

Actually I am partially in favor of Android4Lumia work because Microsoft broke things. But yes, a new Android device will be more enjoyable than breaking our lovely Lumias. I hope WP Internals 2.2 open up new hacks and new things for tweaking Windows 10 Mobile.
[Windows 10 Mobile] djtonka:
new hacks... usb-c or get camera APP from Ativ?
[Windows 10 Mobile] countryfolk07:
The OP must have disappeared. I just got an update notification for insider fast ring. Microsoft probably is patching this already. Makes me wonder what they did to Heathcliff74?
[Windows 10 Mobile] david1753y:
What We do now? Microsoft kidnapped Heathcliff74
[Windows 10 Mobile] djtonka:
They never done it for x2x series on TH2 builds, why they now would waste time for it ?
[Windows 10 Mobile] NIKOSXRI:
He said that some tests in restoring default bootloaders had to be done.Maybe he is stucked there.

I am eager to play with taskbars and app icons modding as I did some years before in wp7
[Windows 10 Mobile] david1753y:
Good thing :) I hope WPINTERNALS 2.2 does my 640 XL DS new life... Or buy 950 XL.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Heathcliff74:
Hahaha! No, I'm still alive and kicking. I released that intro video 2 weeks ago, because at that time i was sure i was able to release the tool within a few days. I still haven't released the tool yet, so I owe a little explanation.

Two weeks ago I was just wrapping up some final pieces of code. But there was a problem with the implementation of the bootloader unlock. It had to do with updatability. When the bootloader was unlocked, the phone could not be updated anymore, which makes sense. But after relocking the phone, the phone still couldn't be updated anymore. That means, that when the phone was unlocked once, it could never be updated anymore, unless you would flash a stock ROM and start over. I realized the impact of this problem later on. Because many Lumia models only have WP 8.1 based stock ROM's and the update-process from WP 8.1 to the current W10M build is painfully long. Doing experiments this way would be agonizing. And this implementation would never be useful for people who want to use this on a phone which they still want to update regularly.

So I was looking for a solution for this problem. It took me a while to get it right. I needed a new hack and many attempts to get it implemented correctly. But I have fixed it now. I still need to finalize some stuff, but it is almost ready. If I wouldn't have been able to fix this shortly, I would have released the tool without this, but that would really have been a big disappointment for me. Because you only make a first impression once.

If I knew all this in advance, I would have waited to release that intro-video. I mean, I worked on this for two years already. And I've worked on this in silence all that time. Because I knew that when I would publish about my progress, I would also get questions about ETA's all the time. And I simply can't answer them. I need to focus on my work. I didn't release that video to tease a lot of people and then sneak out again on purpose. I'm just as anxious as others to release this tool. And now that I have this problem fixed, I guess I can release the tool soon. But you got to realize that it is important for me to test everything properly. It is important to get it right, or else phones get bricked. So, it is ready when it is ready. Sorry to test your patience. Hang in there just a bit longer.

Heathcliff

PS. I will try to answer all other questions when I release the tool. No time now.
[Windows 10 Mobile] david1753y:
It's nice that you spoke, thank you for the explanation. I think that you will deal with this until the new year. Regards
[Windows 10 Mobile] EspHack2:
I was hoping this hack would help remedy that situation, once on the latest desired build with everything working properly you could backup the rom and just use that as the "stock" instead of that whole wp8 > 10.5 > 14.3 > 15.x process
[Windows 10 Mobile] Heathcliff74:
My tool does help with that. But only with my last modifications. Because, it was possible to dump a ROM from the phone. But after a restore it was not possible to update anymore. With my latest modifications (the reason for the delay), you can relock the phone and update again.

Heathcliff
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Nice...It could now be the official "swiss army knife" for Windows Phones.
[Windows 10 Mobile] david1753y:
Fine, now we have one question, when we could prepare phone for your tool, because my Lumia is very dirty :) this week, next week etc. My head gonna very hot. When I work in office, look for this thread and wpinternals webpage many times. I apologize for my impatience.....:D
[Windows 10 Mobile] :
Thanks for the update dude. Keep up the good work!
[Windows 10 Mobile] mattfrayage:
will wpinternals 2.2 allow easier flashing of redstone etc on no longer supported devices like the 920 and 1020 because the hacked up ways i have seen looking into it kinda suck in the sideloading multipe apps to get there aspect
[Windows 10 Mobile] ajaikumarnadar:
will it be possible to get Android roms for our devices after the release of windows phone internals 2.2 ? like for ex: i heard that someone booted a android rom in lumia 525 with your hack i guess..

thank you for your work ! much appreciated ☺
[Windows 10 Mobile] ajaikumarnadar:
thank you.. it would be nice to see.. lumia 630 with 512mb ram running android o Go.. ? as Android o go supports 512 ram devices.. if I'm not wrong..
[Windows 10 Mobile] jeffseid6:
will it be possible to unbrick my lumia 640 xl ( qhsusbbulk) with this tool ?
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
I can't obviously answer on whether WPI 2.2 will help or not, but you should search the forums as we have a solution for most phones with that issue here.
[Windows 10 Mobile] kukmikuk:
...and again...Android, Android, Android....

WPInternals is for Lumias with Windows Phone or Windows 10 Mobile!!!

...thank you for your understanding....
[Windows 10 Mobile] dragon_76:
This is a Windows Mobile 10 forum, not an Android forum. If you want to port and discuss Android for a Windows Phone device, use that device's forum. You are cluttering a forum that is not intended for that discussion. I'm following this thread because I'm interested in Windows on ARM or adding the extra Windows IoT components to my Lumia, not to badly run Android.

Seriously, see how much of a mess it is when developers try to port AOSP or LineageOS to phones that ALREADY run Android.

Furthermore, just buy an Android device if you are so obsessed with using Android. You can literally get them for $20USD. You can get pretty good midrange for $200, and flagship level phones for $300-$400.

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

Using a registry editor, you can set your device ID to that of the Lumia 950 and update it to the latest Insider version. That is what I did with my Lumia 930.

The Lumia 920 doesn't have a great RAM profile at only 1GB, but the 1020 has 2GB of RAM, and you should get OK performance, about comparable to a Lumia 640.

It saddens me to report that our beloved Heathcliff74 has been captured by Microsoft and is being forced to work on the surface phone.

[Windows 10 Mobile] Abdullah S.A.:
It's amazing to hear that WP internals is back again! is Acer Liquid m330 supported in this version? it would be awesome if it's supported, cuz there is an android version of this phone with the same specs (same processor , same ram and internal storage, etc.. ). Who knows it may be possible to install android on it after unlocking the bootloader ..
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
You have to read closely. Only Lumia models are supported.

Reset Protection

can I use this to bypass reset protection?
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
I do not know. Reset protection is at the hardware level. It was put there to protect a lost or stolen phone. At current it only can be disabled with a recovery key or the original account credentials that enabled it. That is the only way I know of. There are however already methods to bypass it, but that is it.
[Windows 10 Mobile] dxdy:
in my country we say: na sveto nigdarjevo (in translate: on saints Never)... be patient... if and when released you will see on internet and here...

Please I would be glad if u can point me in the direction where I can find a method to bypass it... Cos I'm even entering the credentials used to put protection on but it's saying there was a problem with internet connection but my internet connection is fine... I don't know what else to do... Pls help bro
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Please do not use this thread for off topic troubleshooting. Just google what you are looking to do, there is at least one video out there on a method for that. It involves using interop tools.
[Windows 10 Mobile] trashmaster76:
[MENTION=3254428]Heathcliff74[/MENTION] It would be nice if you would give the Android4Lumia devs [MENTION=4857012]feherneoh[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7864014]SJR (Sam)[/MENTION] early access to WPInternals 2.2 so they can prepare the Android development for the newer devices.
[Windows 10 Mobile] kukmikuk:
Ohhh no, Android again here.....unbelievable...
[Windows 10 Mobile] sjrmac:
Let me tell you that if we got a head start, it's only gonna benefit you... It gives us some time to determine if we can run Android, and what differences the new hack brings verses the old WP internals. There is a lot you don't understand, if it could be done ahead of time, it greatly helps as well for the public. We use the old WP internals to unlock people's devices, promoting usage and existence of the program so it may be worth it for HealthCliff to let us give it a go early since we really only promote what he's done as it benefits everyone in some form. You do have to get through his program to do anything :)

Sam
[Windows 10 Mobile] AlvinPhilemon:
Isn't XDA about development and tinkering of all sorts? If you don't like Android, well then I respect your opinion, but stop with the spam.

I don't understand why you guys are against it so much. If you don't want Android, then don't install it. Simple.

We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? So don't pull each other down for having their own opinion.

XDA is about development/hacking. Stop trying to prevent that.

[Windows 10 Mobile] djtonka:
send over your 950xl and then ask for freebies
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
It is a battle of the phone wars. Folks will always have their opinion between the two platforms. I do not see anything wrong with developing something new for anything or any device if you have the means and are capable. I personally would have liked to have had the oem tools available to build a custom W10M rom for one of the Nexus devices (6p/5X). Or for a oneplus phone. But I am probably of the "minority" in that thinking...
[Windows 10 Mobile] The_Vermonster:
I think a year ago, a lot of people would have been on board with that. Sadly the 950 and XL left quite a few people hanging and hoping for some other options. One of the big attractions to android in the first place is the massive number of options.

But today I think more people are looking for a way to get some extra life out of their 950/XLs, even if that means loading up android.
[Windows 10 Mobile] dxdy:
for some.. i dont want android on my 950XL... because no real support for this custom made androids!!! people thing how magically will appear on lumias and works perfectly... yeah right... when the marmot, it puts the chocolate in the alu-foil... what with camera support? 950XL still works perfectly for me, have all apps what need (bank apps too witch important for me) and perfect pictures. and most important, no malware risks :D if some day in future must switch to android, i will buy android, not ruin 950XL with him...
[Windows 10 Mobile] AlvinPhilemon:
Well, that's for you.

Windows 10 Mobile on its own is an unstable mess. Reached a point where it freezes and crashes so often its just embarrassing. I wouldn't mind Android because then, at least I would be able to get apps again especially for banks considering how so many services are dropping Windows support.

Yes, I know it won't run smoothly, but for some others too, they wouldn't mind it. Honestly W10M has become so unstable and buggy and gets my phone so hot so easily, that I honestly wouldn't mind trying to run Android, because comparing W10M to WP8.1, it feels like W10M has lost its defining factor, and its some half-baked product.
[Windows 10 Mobile] dxdy:
no freezes or crashes on my device. no heating.. with one 550 which work terrible i changed only FFU file (flashed different product code FFU) and after that this device works flawless... also one option is go back to AU build and block updates to (F)CU...

btw. i got some problems with screen 2 months ago and give phone official repair centar for diagnostic. result is battery malfunction (is 2 year old)... i buy new battery, but same problem again. i tried one stupid thing: put duck tape on wireless charger contacts on back cover... phone works again without any problem... seems wireless charger coil make problems also to phone...
[Windows 10 Mobile] codeasm:
Awesome, Cant wait to get my hands on this tool. Ow wait, I can wait, cause just like [MENTION=3254428]Heathcliff74[/MENTION] I have work of my own. So I wish and hope enough time and nomore setbacks for Heathcliff and maybe i be able to try some other WP10 os or even Android someday. (maybe some Linux from scratch of my own XD ... time.. need time)

Running our own kernel for now (with some kind of display driver, and touch?) would be enough for now. Ill use a smartwatch to make calls if cellular will "break"

[Windows 10 Mobile] Mehdi008:
Yes I'm interested to have full Windows 10 on Lumia 950, i think it's will be more easy to port it to Lumia 950 than android, just waiting to unlock the bootloader to try some test, i can send you the link of windows 10 Redstone 4 for arm version if you are interested, Why not dualboot full windows and android, for people who can't believe in that just waiting for Microsoft to kill your phone with the last update.

That's good, it will be awesome to see smartphone running full windows 10 ?
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
For your Xperia?

I might be interested in this too. I have two 950 XLs at the moment, but I am working on one to figure out some charging or other hardware issues it might be having...
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Ok. If you decide to start a thread on this let me know. I could try to locate the UART on the board etc...but maybe someone already knows that answer :)

PS: Looks like the spontanious reboots on this 950 XL I have are related to either the front facing camera ribbon or the connector on the board. For now I disconnected it and fixed that problem. Still looking into this charging issue though. I need time to read the device info using thor2 and see if it is just not diplaying the info correctly or if it is not charging at all due to a hardware issue. USB works and says it is charging but the percentage remaining will not advance at all for some reason. Gonna roll back the firmware first and see what that does.
[Windows 10 Mobile] phoy18:
wonder if someone else manages to get hold of the build that was accidentally pushed that showed us a glimpse of the cshell. With tool, maybe we can also use the official cshell builds :)

The last build is 15254.158, came up a few days ago. You don't need this tool to do that.

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

The problem is that, to port a rom it has to be the same resolution. You won't be able to port a nexus 5x rom to a 950 since they have different resolutions, unless the rom is aosp, afaik. LG G4 has the same resolution, so does BB PRIV and Moto X Pure Edition. So, those 3 are viable options.

Then how did you get that message on your phone?

If you boot the phone to normal mode and connect it with USB to PC, and you browse the phone with Windows Explorer on the PC, you will see a file called "Non-Production Errors.txt". That file will tell you why it shows that message.
