Regardless of methods (both plugging in while pressing volume up, or turning on while pressing volume up), the phone will not go into FFU flash mode. If I use WPInternals, I can force it, but nothing apart from WPInternals sees it. I'm still trying all methods though.

Thanks for the heads up! I found that in some other random thread, but I did get them installed. Unfortunately...

Regardless of methods (both plugging in while pressing volume up, or turning on while pressing volume up), the phone will not go into FFU flash mode. If I use WPInternals, I can force it, but nothing apart from WPInternals sees it. I'm still trying all methods though.

If you try to unlock your boot loader again does it say already unlocked? Seems like you failed relocking and partially altered the BCD or something with the UEFI to where you are not able to put the phone into Recovery/Flash mode.
[Windows 10 Mobile] dastolly:
It does say it is already unlocked, and I agree with your assessment. Any thoughts on getting out of this predicament?
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
I don't know how to get out of it persay. If it were me and I wanted to flash an FFU again using flash/recover mode, maybe I would use WPI to dump the EFISP part binary from the FFU used to flash the phone prior. Then flash just that partiton using WPI. Then see where it goes from there. Your boot loader states unlocked so you should be able to flash partitions or maybe an FFU manually with Windows Phone Internals now.

Not just preparing, Im actually doing it. Today up for test the first kernel for MSM8x26.
[Windows 10 Mobile] jethro tarw:
if you can flash the uefi partition on your phone, then all you need is this to build the kernel https://developer.qualcomm.com/download/db410c/little-kernel-boot-loader-overview.pdf

but the problem most of us are facing is that we don't have access to flash the uefi partition.

and we can't wipe those phones either since we don't have the board support packages for the soc's..

I would like to see my L630 actually working. It's been unusable as hell ever since AU. It would be nice to play around with that phone when it's running android 7 :P

Even android 4.2 or 4.4 would do the job since both versions get support more than w10 ever did.

[Windows 10 Mobile] marianodelfino:
Some here claimed that he unlocked the bootloader of 630. You can try and use the uefi2lk from the android4lumia project to get the android partitions. Lumia 630 and 520 have the same resolution, try any of the android roms available for the 520, there are 6.0 and 7.0.
[Windows 10 Mobile] RomLord14495:
Hey can tool fix phones with a bricked bootloader with a wrong platform ID I'm unable to flash any ffu to my 635 due me using Lumia 640 debrand cab files any help please
[Windows 10 Mobile] Adrian13sk:
Hello people, I own Lumia 640XL and I really would like to get project astoria working. Once there was leaked build with astoria for lumia 640XL, there is also a guide how to bring it back. But that method doesn't work for me because the update file is RM1096 and my phone is RM1067, but they are the same phone. So my question is, if I unlock my phone with phone internals 2.3, will I be able to flash that rom and will it work for me? Thanks
[Windows 10 Mobile] djtonka:
Yessssss your Lumia somehow will be usable without Windows
[Windows 10 Mobile] BlueTR:
I'm just saying that the phone and windows mobile platform have already died. At least trying android even with major bugs would be interesting and fun.
[Windows 10 Mobile] djtonka:
Services aren't dead yet so can still using it. Wait for android port and spend rest your life on xda asking how to get camera work
[Windows 10 Mobile] RomLord14495:
Yes, you should be able to my 640 is debranded and I can just flashrom via. This tool or wpid also ur Lucky if anyone helps you around here I asked how to fix my platform ID and got nothing also just google how to debrand Lumia 640 xl
[Windows 10 Mobile] mayur.3.92:
Any luck to 950XL users?
[Windows 10 Mobile] djtonka:
Maybe lack of reading?

[Windows 10 Mobile] snickler:
All,

A few things here:

1. "CAN WE PUT ANDROID ON WP WITH THIS?!?!?!". If you want that functionality, just buy an Android phone. As with the many other random threads that ask this question, this answer stays the same.

2. Yes, we know Microsoft pretty much abandoned WinPhone/WinMobile. If you still have your Windows Phone device and want to do similar things to what you could do with the first versions of WPI? This is your tool. If you've come here just to make snide remarks, then don't even think about commenting.

[MENTION=3254428]Heathcliff74[/MENTION] has put a LOT of his time into this, something he didn't have to do at all.

Now, play nice :).

[Windows 10 Mobile] weatheryoko:
Heathcliff74,

First of all, thanks for the hard work you've put into this. Quick question: If you unlock the bootloader and gain root access, can you remove root access and re-lock the bootloader? (I'm assuming you can, but I'd like to verify). I like the fact W10M is a secure OS. I would only want to unlock the bootloader and gain root access on a temporary basis.

Cheers,

Justin

How can we use other phones driver for winphones?

And does anybody have any idea which phones have similar hardware to 640 xl?

Btw thanks alot Heathcliff74 :)
[Windows 10 Mobile] sjrmac:
1. Is where you are incorrect. Using this tool does get you closer to installing Android but not using this tool only. That's where the threads for Android4Lumia over in he Lumia 520 come in. We plan on trying these devices so follow progress over there, (to anyone reading this) and please don't spam poor HeathCliff with a million things. I'm sure it can be slightly annoying for him.

May be Moto G2 (2014)

The Moto G2 2014 has Snapdragon 400 processor and 1 GB of RAM. My eyes are on that Moto device's CM14 ROM for my Lumia 730. And speaking of other things like camera, I can't tell much because I haven't tried, and Android phones have a very different hardware like the camera sensor is Sony’s IMX179 and we have Zeiss one. Time will tell how things will go. :o
[Windows 10 Mobile] snickler:
That was my actual point of that first bullet point :). I have found the Android4Lumia project pretty interesting, though.
[Windows 10 Mobile] snickler:
Yes, it will work on 950 also.
[Windows 10 Mobile] dxdy:
but is another story did be useful... in reality i am satisfied how 950/950Xl works... for example android ROM without full driver support and optimization will be useless (same case with other Lumia phones)
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
If this is the case, then for sure the 1520...I hope...

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

Exactly. However, porting/building drivers and system support for android could prove less difficult and definitely less than building system drivers for Windows 10 mobile devices...Still it is much work. Android on Lumias is a good project in my opinion if that is what folks really want to try to do...

From my side I only want to make Windows 10 mobile more useful or better for others or myself. Plus at its current state there is nothing wrong with Windows 10 Mobile. Is still alive and kicking. I am grateful Heathcliff74 chose to update his tool support newer devices. With an updated WP Internals app it will open up these newer devices to be more useful and to be able to learn more about them.
[Windows 10 Mobile] VladAndreMano:
Any chance this could work on the Lumia 435?
[Windows 10 Mobile] djtonka:
what would you do on it? Did the Interop tool disappointed you?
[Windows 10 Mobile] Macieqs:
W10 on ARM

With this tool, will it be theoretically possible to install Windows 10 on ARM on i.e 950xl, when it's released?
[Windows 10 Mobile] Mehdi008:
thank you
[Windows 10 Mobile] Heathcliff74:
WPI only works on supported OS versions. Version 15254.1 and 15254.12 are both supported.

HTC One M8, HP Elite X3 and Alcatel Idol 4S are not supported. It would take me a lot of time to research. I have to see which hacks are compatible. And where I would need to find new hacks. I don't think I will have time to do this, unfortunately.

WPI 2.2 still supports all old Lumia's. It is now also successfully tested on Lumia 1520, 435, 550, 630, 640, 650, 830, 930, 950 and 950 XL. So I think it is fair to say that it works on all Lumia's.

Yes, this is possible. However, there are still some issues with updates after having relocked the phone. I'm working hard on a fix for that.

In theory.. yes. But you would need to merge the drivers into the OS. Not an easy thing to do.

Heathcliff74.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Idlin:
Well, the lumia UEFI is armv7 based, not aarch64, so it will be *very* hard to chainload aarch64 efis (Windows 10 on Arm is based on arm64...) :)

[Windows 10 Mobile] sjrmac:
Well, unless we could replace the bootloader like what was possible with the older Lumias... But currently that's not possible with the current work by Heathcliff but that's okay, we just make it work for the time being! :)
[Windows 10 Mobile] Macieqs:
As far as I know, MS is testing w10ARM on Snapdragon 820 (which is ARMv8 according to Wikipedia) , so if they leave drivers in place, it should work on Lumias 950xl?
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Can you boot to emergency mode? If so try to repair the gpt that way and flash the FFU for your correct model...

Edit: If you cannot unlock the bootloader and go to mass storage mode you are stuck looking for another solution. I am assuming you tried to flash a similar variant FFU from WPI 2.3?

Edit 2: Actually I see your issue. You have flashed a lumia 640 ROM to a Lumia 635...Just try repairing/booting from emergency mode using the loaders for your phone if they are available.
[Windows 10 Mobile] RomLord14495:
Let's put it this way my phone shows no Nokia logo but can go in flash mode when I try to flash the original ffu its says invalid platform ID and I should be able to restore this in emergency mode?

[Windows 10 Mobile] RomLord14495:
How to boot to emergency mode and step by step process to get this done ?
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Please search the forum for using ermergency loaders, there is a thread on it. I am not going to explain that here... thor2.exe -mode rnd -boot_edmode should put the phone into QC DL mode long enough to flash the loaders, or from thor2.exe /? you can see all the other hundred commands it is capable of.

Edit: If you want to look quick, several pages back someone here on this thread has a similar issue with a lumia 650 in which case the command they used is there.
[Windows 10 Mobile] RomLord14495:
I reflashed the bootloader after searching through google and I'm gonna attempt to flash the original ffu now thanks for the help

Edit invalid platform ID
[Windows 10 Mobile] djtonka:
Look into ATF box command line if you can (got no license any more) , it does "cross" flashing meaning any device with many hardware variants can be flashed with FFU from each RM belongs to the same Lumia models.
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
I am looking to buy one myself since I have two 1320s I think the eMMC is readonly or the RKH mismatch has it stuck now.

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

Keep trying to redo the GPT with the loaders. Then check if the device platform ID is still the same with thor2 -mode rnd -readdeviceinfo instead of trying to flash the ffu again you check the whole gpt list and Device information with that command.
[Windows 10 Mobile] RomLord14495:
Sorry if I'm annoying I'm still a noob how do I redo the gpt and what commands I looked and can't find any and my platform info isNOKIA .MSM8926.P6204.1.1

[MENTION=8593085]RomLord14495[/MENTION]

Well I am no expert myself, but the emergency flash files for your phone which I believe is an RM-975 or the like...contains the basic elements for it to boot into a "stock" flashing mode. For example my RM-995 mbn image contains these files below one of which is the PLAT partition. If you can get your emergency loaders to load correctly using thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile <MPRG8x26_fh.ede> -edfile <RM975_fh.edp> -orig_gpt, then it should boot to flashing mode with the correct platform and uefi descriptors.

gpt.mbn
plat.mbn
rpm.mbn
sbl1.mbn
sbl2.mbn
sbl3.mbn
ssd.mbn
tz.mbn
uefi.mbn
uefi_bs_nv.mbn
uefi_nv.mbn
uefi_rt_nv.mbn
uefi_rt_nv_rpmb.mbn
winsecapp.mbn
[Windows 10 Mobile] RomLord14495:
Idk but if I don't get success. I was thinking TeamViewer remote desktop and one of you could do the command from ur computers and see update. I tried to copy and pastethor2 -mode emergency -hexfile <MPRG8x26_fh.ede> -edfile <RM975_fh.edp> -orig_gpt and its telling me that the system cant find those files even though there in the rm975 folder am I'm supposed to specify what Directory there in?

Im trying to read as much as possible, various 950 users are having various experiences is what all i have read...
[Windows 10 Mobile] XDASumiaki:
Im so angry now

Interesting. Do you think ima a fool? Device tree? Different chips? Who gives attention to it? I said im writing OWN EFI bootloader for the device and for others if you dont believe then not. I will not experiment with LK flashed directly instead of the original Boot system before I dont own a expendable phone. But it should work, I actually compile one for msm8226 /Cortex-A7, set up addresses, but not for flash into the device. Just to see maybe it work on QEMU or not, and for look out some base address of the binary for my EFI development.

By the way if I want it to work I should make partition schemes / DTs / kernel image too to get it "MAYBE" work from a generic CAF Qualcomm source...I have DT sources / and some generic device driver for the HAL. I will really not experiment with it. I choose a safe way. By the way the bootloader doesnt work yet, but I can load it by a modded Win BootMgr and give it to run on cpu. Im working with EDK2.

You can wait it forever, that I may ruin my phones. Cheers!

I have a Microsoft Lumia 950 at&t brand sadly I didn't know about reset protection. Since then I used the program now im completely lock out of my phone and no way to get reset protection key since the site at Microsoft to find my phone shows its turn off. I now have a lock phone and no way to get full access to my phone anymore. Thanks so much. I highly recommend no one to use this if they have a Lumia 950 from at&t or you too will forever be locked out of your phone. If you use the program before you turn off reset protection. Don't make the mistake I did. You will regret it. And Microsoft won't help on getting the recovery key since it shows off on your account. :((
[Windows 10 Mobile] RomLord14495:
I'm getting the same sometimes I get invalid platform ID I messed up my plat partition and loaders and i can still boot 2 emergency mode on my 635

I accidentally flashed Lumia 640. FFU file.

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

My Lumia 640, did this, it got stuck on a reset protection screen. I hard reset. In connected to Wi-Fi and it prompted me to sign into my Microsoft account and I did get access to the phone. You can try that.
[Windows 10 Mobile] eKoKnight:
I know though on the site it say reset protection is off. Though thankfully with InteropTools i found a way to install it on my phone to bypass reset protection. Though it does not turn it off. And no way to make it reactivate on the site so I can get my recovery key to turn it off my phone. No thanks to the developer I hope he finds a way to turn off reset protection for lumia 950s if you can pass this along to him on his tweeter id appreciate it.
[Windows 10 Mobile] RomLord14495:
Yeah know mine didn't show up on the Micorsoft site either only my 950 did and I was freaking out so I hard reset my phone because i thought it was a project Astoria bug( currently installed on my 640)but I connected to wifi after the reset and it took me to a sign in page to disable reset protection
[Windows 10 Mobile] eKoKnight:
That's odd. Well at this point I cant turn off reset protection at all on the phone regardless of the site when im log on cause it will say its turn off when its not. It all happen when I started using Windows Phone Internals 2.3. I am not a happy camper cause if it wasn't for InteropTools that I side loaded onto the phone plus a few steps to get into settings to turn on developer mode I wouldn't have been able to use my phone. As long as I don't do a hard reset I won't have to dothis whole thing again. And I am very upset with the developer of WP Internals 2.3 I know he means well on wanting to do good but dang he made things worse for many of us or like me with my Lumia 950 from At&t with Reset protection. I will never be able to turn it off on the phone since the Microsoft site say it off when its not off at all on the phone itself. -.- Not even at&t can help.
[Windows 10 Mobile] XDASumiaki:
Yee, I thought first that it should work, to get U-BOOT from BootMgr but I abandoned the idea...

First of all its possible, but should need to compile a new U-BOOT / GRUB2 with Flattened DT / ARCH configs, a set so many **** fcks...

After this I got the new idea, it is to launch EFI shell from BootMgr and start the bootloader (LK based .efi). I have so many works now, but it seems good and safe to test on my only one Lumia device. :) I will show what I did.

Peace!
[Windows 10 Mobile] jethro tarw:
well how about we compile a little kernel bootloader and then patch it into the uefi part of the firehose emergency payload? I'm sure we could find a way to do that.

and if the next or future release of WPI ever allows us to flash the UEFI partition only or modfy it inside an ffu then we have another solution.
[Windows 10 Mobile] the_R4K_:
useful information.

but GRUB2 work on lumia.
[Windows 10 Mobile] jethro tarw:

[Windows 10 Mobile] jethro tarw:
keep telling yourself that. you might believe it.
[Windows 10 Mobile] jethro tarw:
the hard part that most people can't do without the right software resources, such as compile the bootloader would be ready for them, for then others to come along later and fix it, would be leaps ahead of where we are now.

are you aware of anyway of injecting another ELF into the firehose payload? what if we sign that elf with the same RKH?
[Windows 10 Mobile] XDASumiaki:
Holy moly

Ye fk my life, I cant believe this MS how pro. Also I realized I really cant run directly the .efi by passing it to the machine to handle, not that simple as I though, I will figure out why, but I may think what causes this. Thanks this inform too, WinBootMgr sucks really hard.

By the way I now realized this isnt the biggest problem. I dumped the UEFI image and looked up how it is, and see 2 loaders, and 3 configuraton files (uefiplat.cfg), + DXE Drivers as usual. The main problem is the "NokiaBootMgrApp" PE32 Application in the EFI rom. This seems to me like, trying to boot, but only for the Windows system, and this is why we cant boot nothing only the factory (bootmarm.efi -> bootmgfw..) files, -> veryfication with integrity + restricted mode. + seems like it checks the Windows partitions too for specific files so Im really confused.

2 option here now! Need to mod this loader, or try to swap with another (good luck? XD), + they used NokiaPkg for source what is not accesible for me because its not open source. Secund option is to build an UEFI rom for it from Linaro EDK2. Easy job but will it work? -> Sure not, because need new device drivers for the ARM DXE package what isnt opensource again. They used packages for 8x26 ARM device with their own device + cpu drivers. Maybe Ill find somewhere but not sure, or something generic like that, could be good for start writing a new UEFI system (EFIDroid is about it)? Nice.

Btw I have got this for Lumia RM1067 Gl (Serious infos alert): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1lZMcS0kwfzSomF4k3gw5ZwqbiaDFTamz

Hey everyone, maybe this has been asked before, but do you think, thanks to WPInternals there will be a future for Lumia devices (like 930, 950) and Elite X3 with Windows on ARM and CShell?
[Windows 10 Mobile] eKoKnight:
At the present time. I would think not. That just my opinion on how things are going. Take for example what my Lumia 950 going through.
[Windows 10 Mobile] djtonka:
Flashed back 830 with modified partition which includes FCU latest build. Did it straight on Denim, process end with some address error but Lumia is behave ok. Repeated twice, it is happening (error on end) even when makings backups without modification.

Everytime there are releases to fix the bugs in Windows Phone Internals 2.3 I'm too anxious
[Windows 10 Mobile] andrewbaker1:
My phone wouldn't boot to mass storage mode during the bootloader unlock it just kept rebooting. At one point in the logs secureboot was disabled but after the unlock failed secureboot relocked again.

I had the ffu from wdrt and was trying on that, I had one bsod but it sorted itself out.
[Windows 10 Mobile] jethro tarw:
seems to be whats happening to some Lumias, I don't think you can boot into mass storage mode on bootloader spec B. I could be wrong on that.

if you unlplug the phone before it rollsback the unlocking attempt. you end up being able to flash modified efiefs/mainois/data partitions. as UEFI secure boot is disabled.

however WPI cashes if you try to use it to patch the extracted ffu for root. so I guess you have to manually root the partitions yourself.
