well i'm having problems with my Att 8525. I need to find a way for me to be able to connect to the exchange server at my office on an https connection. We just upgraded our security cert and now this issue keeps coming up. Does any one know how to fix it. Here is the error code: 0X8501001

What I had to do was delete the server from the 8525 and then re-enter them. The first time it syncs OTA it should have some on-screen commands with buttons for you to hit "verify security settings" and create password for the device. You might have to download a signed security thingamijigger to it though, a certificate or whatever for it.
Hope This Helps,
Jim
I'll give it a shot right now! thanks!
Well that didn't work? umm i tried re-flashing the rom and nothing. Does anyone know how to allow HTTPS on the phone or a way for me not to use port 80 but port 443? thanks!!
I just installed the latest WM6.1 rom by Kavana. I'm trying to connect to my private/work network, and I need to use EAP type "Smart Card or Certificate", but only PEAP and TLS are listed. Are there any solutions to this issue? I searched on this forum, but could only find the same question asked (but not answered) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2028467&highlight=Smartcard#post2028467
Thanks!
Sorry for the lack of details but I had a similar problem. There are several google references to various ways to get certificates working. You can also disable certificate checking which is what I elected to do for now.
To force WM5 or WM6 to accept the PEAP server's certificate without attempting any other validation, add the following registry key:
[\HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\25\]
"ValidateServerCert"=dword:00000000
This worked for me. More good hacks and the full article/blog http://www.mobilewave.ro/forum/topic-2549.html
Can you link to those several references on google? Why is the smartcard or certificate option missing from this rom anyway? Are there any registry hacks to get this option back?
Hey man, do your home work and google and you can always change the registry entry if you think that the network your are connecting too is not trustworthy. Otherwise I think you will spend many hours of trial and error like I did.
I tried
"ValidateServerCert"=dword:00000000
I am still not able to connect to network. Also as said above, the TLS is not showing the certificates & smartcard. Also when I click on TLS "properties" nothing shows up. I have certificates installed, I can see it from Settings->Security->Certificates.
Any help. It is getting very frustrating.
Bump. Please chime in.
In aosp roms I don't have access to diagnostics screen etc.
On sense roms I put up the dialer and go ##3424#, ##3282#, ##786 etc. On aosp roms those choices are not available. I know that access is possible through the terminal but I lack the commands and I can't seem to search the forum with the proper terms.
Someone please direct me. Thanks.
those diagnostic functions are built in to Sense and are tools specific to the device from HTC. If you need to access them then you need to flash a Sense rom I'm afraid.
If I don't have access to those screens then how do I change the MMS Server URL? I can live having to flash for access to the other options but the mms url is a must!

Search in the market for an app called APN Manager. It will allow you to edit your APNs for MMS access. (BTW, APN #1 is Sprint's so you can just activate that one and MMS should work right there).

are you on Redstone build ?

It's working fine for me. IKEv2 IPsec, Strongswan server.
Requires editing the connections file on the phone, though. Windows 10 mobile (same for PC) will not use the default route provided by the VPN server and there is no toggle to send all the traffic through the VPN like there was on Windows Phone 8/8.1 in the VPN connection settings GUI.
So, 'IpPrioritizeRemote=1' has to be set manually for the connection in rasphone.pbk on the phone. This can be achieved and requires an NTFS formatted SD card with the modified rasphone.pbk and a symbolic link to 'C:\Data\USERS\DefApps\APPDATA\ROAMING\MICROSOFT\Network\Connections' (you can make this symbolic link on the PC).
First you have to create a VPN connection on the phone, then delete it. This will make 'C:\Data\USERS\DefApps\APPDATA\ROAMING\MICROSOFT\Network\Connections\Pbk\' user writable and you can put a modified rasphone.pbk file in that location by accessing it through the symbolic link on the SD card.
If you don't know how to make the rasphone.pbk file, first configure the connection as it should be on the phone, then copy rasphone.pbk from the phone, edit it on PC and add 'IpPrioritizeRemote=1'. Delete the VPN connection from the phone, and put the modified rasphone file in its place.
Reboot might be required after copying the file manually.
^ This is for phones that can't be interop unlocked like my Lumia 950XL. It's much easier for other phones which can be unlocked and full FS access is achievable.
Pretty stupid omission on Microsoft's part. I've been shouting about it on windows feedback since Windows 10 Mobile was released to insiders, but no one listens.

I know about it and took measures against it. They call it Smart multi-homed name resolution. It can be disabled on Desktop and also the order of DNS servers used can be set for each VPN connection. This isn't really caused by the broken built-in VPN client, but the way Windows 10 itself works out of the box.

It's not just desktop. On W10M, DNS leaks, VPN connected icon is barely visible and you don't get notified if the VPN connection drops. Is hard to believe Satya Nadella is so dumb not to notice.

I know there are DNS leaks on W10Mobile and multi-homing can't be disabled, but I don't have a problem with that. The purpose of VPN for me is to gain access to other private networks and encrypt the communication with them. DNS leaks aren't that critical. It's not like I don't want my employer to know what websites I access while connecting to VPNs from their network. I couldn't care less to be honest that they're logging my DNS querries. And I also don't live in China.
Even if they have my DNS records they still won't ever be able to break the encrypted IPsec tunnels and get any glimpse of what's passing through them.
Wasn't able to download rasphone.pbk from the phone but could upload one.
I used my Windows 10 PC and created the connections there. Then I disabled IpPrioritizeRemote and used the powershell cmdlet Add-VpnConnectionRoute to add a route to the pbk file pointing to my local subnet.
I am now able to connect to the internet and access corporate resources at the same time.
I however couldn't connect from one particular app which worked in 8.1. There may be issues with non universal apps.

Yeah, looks like that's the case. There is very little feedback in insider hub about VPN problems. Very few care about these issues so probably MS has no incentive to fix and prefer to rely on MDM for VPN configuration on these devices. Now if only that were an option for mere mortals...
How to import self-signed key or export builtin cert for a strongswan server?

How did you get the VPN connection set up properly (aside from the IpPrioritizeRemote setting)?
I've set up a strongswan server and generated my own self-signed keys using ipsec pki, but when I import the key to my Lumia 1520 (by tapping it using the Files app and tapping import at the prompt), the VPN connection will not send that cert. Instead it sends a certificate issued by CN=Microsoft Genuine Windows Phone CA15" with an OU that looks like a GUID.
So I tried punting and just exporting that certificate to place on my strongswan server ... but I can't figure out how to get the certificate off the phone either. So how do I do either one?

I don't know what self generated certificate your phone sends, but you shouldn't use that.
You should generate a client certificate on the strongswan server then you should include both the root CA and the client certificate and pack them together in a PKCS 12 file (.p12) which you open on the phone and import. The phone will choose the proper certificate stores to import to. Did you do that?
https://www.zeitgeist.se/2013/11/22/strongswan-howto-create-your-own-vpn/
Just follow this tutorial., with the only mention that you should add "--flag clientAuth" to the command line for generating the client certificate.

Thanks, that is a good tutorial - I definitely did not use the clientAuth flag (the ipsec tutorial for openWRT didn't include it: openwrt doc/howto/vpn.ipsec.roadwarrior), so I tried generating new certs with clientAuth. Unfortunately I got the same results. My Win10 phone sent the same "Microsoft Genuine Windows Phone CA15" cert.
Did you import the PKCS 12 file just by tapping it in the Microsoft "Files" app on the phone or did you use another method? I'm verifying the certs with the Microsoft "Certificates" app, which does show that the original cert I generated has no "Enhanced usages" but the second has "Client Authentication." Still the builtin VPN client won't pick it to send to my strongSwan server.
I did away completely with my configuration and started over with the win7 configuration here: strongswan wiki: Win7CertReq but none of it will help if I can't get my phone to actually send the correct certificate ... this configuration did something a little different though:
My phone sent the correct certificate in the "received TLS peer certificate" line followed by these error messages:
no trusted certificate found for 'my-CN-here' to verify TLS peer
sending fatal TLS alert 'certificate unknown'
Despite the fact that I have the certificate pem in /etc/ipsec.d/certs ...
in any case it continues on and sends the Microsoft cert afterwards and then the server throws "no peer config found" (since I don't have the public cert loaded for that MS cert).
Followed up on the error here: strongswan wiki /issues/785
I also tried it with "eap_identity=%identity" instead of "eap_identity=%any".
Frustrating that it works great for Win7 but I just can't get a Win10 phone working. Any guides out there specifically for Windows phone + Strongswan?

I import the certificates from file explorer on phone or from the OneDrive app, doesn't matter.
Have you actually set the EAP identity correctly in the client certificate? CN has to be exactly the same as --san
That's the eap_identity which has to be known if you use EAP-TLS.
I don't know what else to say, maybe post your ipsec.conf with censored IPs

For the moment I just have mschap authentication with no certificate and it works. The certificate is just giving me fits.
On my client certificate my CN is not the same as the san. My san is set to the FQDN of my VPN server ... the CN of my client certificate is an identifier for my client.
What does the VPN server use for eap_identity - the CN from the client certificate when set to eap_identity=%identity ?

My server certificate does have a CN and san that match. I thought I read somewhere that having that same value in the client san would help the client match up the cert to send to the server, at least for Windows Phone. Of course I can't find that guide now, so maybe I misread. I do see that in the example on https://www.zeitgeist.se/2013/11/22/strongswan-howto-create-your-own-vpn/ that the server CN and san match and the client CN and san match each other.
In the client certificate you should have [email protected]_FQDN --san server_FQDN --flag clientAuth
the eap_identity used by strongswan is the part before @ from CN.
It won't match anything when using eap_idenity=%identity if you don't do it like this.

Hi I tried your manual, unfortunately without any success
If I Read it correctly you do the following steps:
1) Format sd card on NTFS
2) On the sd card create symbolic link to: C:\Data\USERS\DefApps\APPDATA\ROAMING\MICROSOFT\Network\Connections
3) Insert sd in phone
4) Create a vpn connection on the phone
5) Delete al the vpn connections on the phone
6) Use the phone to put a new (modified) rasphone.pbk file on the sd card (though onedrive??). I cant access my sd om my pc when usb is connected
7) Reboot the phone
8) Make a new vpn connection (can it have a different name?)
Can someone verify if i miss something?
I'll be very happy if this works
I took off the file required due to missing registry entrys. will repackage the files needed and upload a new version. stay tuned.
Hey guys, attached is the file required to unlock VoLTE and WiFi-Calling on the Lumia 950DS and Lumia 950 (Att) for T-Mobile. Before attempting these step, you will first unlock Mass Storage mode, using HeathCliff74's method using wpinternals here.
If you need VoLTE and WiFi calling enabled on the Lumia 950XL's take a look at nate0's work here.
Disclaimer: Do this at your own risk. I am not responsible for damage incurred to your mobile device for these modifications. If you have problems, you can always replace the modified file with the originals and then use WDRT to reflash the NVI settings.
Things to Know:
-For the DUAL SIM Models, I turned off the 2nd SIM slot from displaying in the upper left corner as I do not use it. SO DO NOT USE THIS METHOD POSTED HERE IF YOU NEED THE 2ND SIM SLOT WORKING.
-Also, another limitation right now for this method is, the 5GHz Wi-fi Calling in "WIFI ONLY" mode currently does not work, but the 2.4GHz works for now in WiFi ONLY. I am still working on this, but because of school, i haven't had much time to look into this seeing how it's my last semester. The rest of the stuff should work perfectly, Cellular Prefered, Wifi preferred, Wifi Calling OFF with IMS registration, etc...
After successfully unlocking mass storage, boot to mass storage mode and replace the following files with the ones attached in the zip file.
1. Back up the entire ADC folder in \PROGRAMS\CommonFiles
2. Back up the modemconfiguration.cab file in \PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\OEM\Public\MMO\Multivariant
After backing up the files in Steps 1 and 2:
3. Delete the ADC folder in \PROGRAMS\CommonFiles and replace it with the ADC folder from the attached zip file.
4. Copy and replace the modemconfiguration.cab file from \PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\OEM\Public\MMO\Multivariant with the modemconfiguration.cab from the zip file.
5. Copy the MO_VoWiFi_Operator_Name_15818.dll file to \Windows\System32\ folder.
6. Restart the phone out of mass storage and wait for the prompt to restart your phone for a network update.
Thanks to HeathCliff74 for his awesome work with WPInterals and nate0 for findings on the Lumia 950XL's.
Cool. I found a method that worked for this for me on the XL model here. Use what you need from that if you want to make a guide...

Ok, i'll take a look thanks . Quick question thought, when you successfully unlocked VoLTE, when your in a call, did you have to set the HD Voice string manually? because for some reason the HD Voice string variable doesn't show up, even with the ims registration confirmed for the voice call.

No. It was provisoned already I belive from the ADC files I replaced. That key is burried somewhere in one of those files.
I am curious, how stable is your WiFi calling? VoLTE works flawlessy for me, on occassion I get kicked off of ims registration before a call, but it comes back (probably signal related). But I have it enabled without Wifi calling, meaning the modem file I use does not enable wifi calling... I ask because I could not find the final entries for the nvi file to make VoLTE and WiFi calling both work reliably, at least from my perspective...

Problem is, it doesnt do LTE, it has hardly any bands and none that are actually 4G Also, ive never been able to unlock it because i cant find the emergency files (i think its those), but havent tried with the 2.4 version yet.
Ok, so i followed your directions and after rebooting out of mass storage, i get the gears screen over and over and over. I do get the MS start image, but then gears and rebooting again. The progress bar doesnt move on the gear screen though.
@Talon Pro
You can access the full filesystem of the 950 or 950 XL using the sftp method. I have been using that since long before we had mass storage publicly available and it works well. Use swish sftp which integrates in windows explorer and directions from this guide here
In a nut shell:
Gain access to the file systems using Interop Tools app.
- In Interop Tools go the SSH--Account Manager and add an account. The account user name should be System.
- Tap the account System so it is highlighted and then tap templates to use.
- Tap enable full file system access with sftp. Then go to the template options and hit the authentication drop down setting it to password.
- Add the password (4 digit pin of your choice).
- Once your phone is on wifi, add an SFTP Connection under Swish. Set the user to system. Set the path to /c/. Once added double click it, trust the key, and login with the pin you set. Explorer will open with your phones files. The guide above is a bit more detail and additional info on sftp file system access made by snickler if you need.

Explorer will open with your phones files. The guide above is a bit more detail and additional info on sftp file system access made by snickler if you need.

Accessing the files wasnt an issue, but how do i get it out of the boot loop cycle now? WPI cant see it even.
Nvm, i was able to force it into flash mode (up, down and power) and then reboot and WPI saw and grabbed it locked the boot loader and im back into windows and it wants to restart to do the install.

There is always a risk to unlocking a boot loader and enabling mass storage mode for Windows phones using Heathcliff74's tools, so it is good to know at least there is alternate way to access the file system on the 950 if we have to.
Now that im back in, neither SIM works at all.

Hi there, which phone are you currently attempting this on? I remember something similar happened to me. I can try and recreate the problem later today after classes and I'll get back to you. I believe the steps included flashing the CustomerNVI file for the model via thor2 that fixed your issue. If you need your know back working asap, you can always replace the files and then restore the NVI data via thor2:
thor2 -mode uefiflash -ffufile "FFU FIle for your phone.ffu" -do_full_nvi_update -do_factory_reset -skip_flash -reboot

Um, the thread is titled 950DS lol. Its not my main phone so i can deal with waiting a bit for a fix. I just booted it back to Mass Storage so reverse it, but ill wait till you get back to me later.
