hi all
i have a brand new HTC (rio) 8s
i am waiting for my micro simm so not all thinks i can test right now.
but...
i succesfully installed Devstore8 + HTC Interop Unlock
is there a way to unlock these phone ?
i want to side load some own apps
is this a good way to full unlock my phone ?
see picture
my device is locked in orange romania. I managed to install devstore8, but i can't install anything as .xap installation from IE is not supported. i also can't install htc interop_unlock & repair HTC. any ideas ?
Try to install it via windows phone 8 sdk
Sent from my Windows Phone 8S by HTC using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
got some stuff working....
busy with it...
i installed devstore8, but can't install interop unlock, it gives me this error : the system cannot find the file specified ( when using app deployment tool ). is there another way ?

Can you Explain EXACTLY the procedure you have used to install the Devstore8, ive tryed the browser donwload but i obtain a message like this: "you havent installed your business application please refere to your company tecnical service" i've tryed also to donwnload Devstore8.xap via usb to my SD CARD and instally it from store, but the SD Store entry dont come visibile with this app on SD CARD.
So what is the correct method to have a devstore8 installed and working on my phone ?
requirements : Windows 8 , Windows phone 8 SDK, Windows phone 8 developer account.
save the .xap file on the computer and use app deployment tool to install it on your phone.
at least this is the way i did it.

Dear XDA community,
everyday i'm reading new questions from users, how they have to unlock their Lumia 900 and how they can flash custom roms onto it...
So i decided to make this how-to-thread.
I'll keep this post updated as an overview:
post 2: Bootloader unlock DLOAD Lumia 900 to Qualcomm
post 3: Backup and flash your L900 with Ubuntu, flash in Windows using dewe's Lumia Downloader 0.5
post 4: How-To use USB-Video-Out
So please, guys, read this thread, and if you don't understand, feel free to ask. :good:
Bootloader unlock DLOAD Lumia 900 to Qualcomm
If you want to flash a custom rom, you need to have a Lumia 900 with qualcomm bootloader.
But it's a difficult way to make your DLOAD Lumia 900 to Qualcomm:
You need two main things:
1. You need ATF flasher box
2. You need good soldering skills or the special atf cables from gpg industries
Here's a tutorial to SIM-Unlock a Lumia 800: How-To SIM-Unlock your Lumia 800 - gsmhosting.com
This is almost the same procedure for "bootloader-unlocking" your Lumia 900.
You just do not need to click SP-Unlock, you need to click "boot repair" (and select qualcomm, of course).
And you need to look at the Lumia 900 Testpoints of course
Here's the thread of the special cables: No more soldering for lumia 610,710,800,900 easiest osbl swap ever
These cables do not require you to solder your device. You only need to open up your phone and connect it to the cable and your ATF Box.
So, if you don't want, or can't buy such a box, check for a local phone repair shop in your town/city. If they have ATF, i'm sure they can do this for you for a small amount.
Hope this helps.
Flash your custom rom using dewe's Lumia Downloader 0.5
Dewe's Nokia Lumia Downloader 0.5
I attached the Nokia Lumia Downloader 0.5 for flashing your Lumia 900 easily in Windows.
Thx to dewe for his great work!
This requires your Lumia 900 to have the qualcomm bootloader!!
First: make a backup of ALL 9 partitions of the phone!
This might really save your ass Id did save mine more than once :good:
1. Install Ubuntu to your computer, or use Ubuntu-Live-CD
2. put phone into "Qualcomm Mode" by pressing VOL UP + POWER and connect it to your pc
3. check with
Code:
sudo fdisk -l
how your phone appears in ubuntu
4. backup your partitions using this:
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/sd[B]X[/B]1 of=/media/Data/backup1.bin
sudo dd if=/dev/sd[B]X[/B]2 of=/media/Data/backup2.bin
sudo dd if=/dev/sd[B]X[/B]3 of=/media/Data/backup3.bin
up to
sudo dd if=/dev/sd[B]X[/B]9 of=/media/Data/backup9.bin
where the X is your special letter, mostly it's b, c, or d.
if = your input file
of = your output file
And this might take up to 2 hours.
Restoring your backups is the exact opposit.
second: you can now flash your Lumia 900.
because you're already in Ubuntu, you can flash it using:
Code:
sudo dd if=/path/to/your/os-new.nb of=/dev/sd[B]X[/B]9
You MUST flash the os-new.nb file to partition 9!!!
Or you can use attached Nokia Lumia Downloader on Windows.
1. Connect your phone in "qualcomm mode"
2. open the Tool with admin rights in Windows
3. Klick "download" and select os-new.nb file
NOTICE: when you connect the phone in "qualcomm mode" in windows, you'll get a message of formatting the drive. DO NOT DO THAT!!!! CLICK CANCEL! If you format, your phone's broken.
How-To use USB-Video-Out
How to use USB Video Out:
As it seems to be a little "difficult" to use the usb video out package, here's what you have to do (this is a copy out of the readme file of the package):
You can download the needed files here:
USB-Video-Out.rar
Mirror @4shared
Enabling USB video out on the phone (ON THE PHONE)
- From Start Menu swipe over to the application list and run "USB Video Out"
- Answer Yes to enable USB Video out. This is a toggle.
- When the phone boots up it is in Zune Mode which enables it to sync data with Zune Client software on the PC. You will need to toggle this to Video mode using the above steps to get video out.
- Note: Toggling between Zune mode and Video mode requires the phone to reboot each time.
Setting up driver on the desktop (one time)
- Make sure Zune is not running.
- Your Phone must be flashed with a ROM that has video out bits on it, they must be enabled, and the phone must be on and plugged into your PC to continue. When the phone boots up the default setting is OFF for the video output.
- Start -> Right click on Computer, select Manage
- In "Computer Management" click on the Device Manager
- Under "Other Devices"
- Within the list of drivers Right Click on WM7VIDSTREAM driver, select "Update Driver Software..."
- Choose Browse and point Windows to appropriate driver folder.
- Approve the Unsigned Driver installation.
Starting application
- Launch VidStream.exe.
- This application does support disconnect & reconnecting of the phone's USB cable.
- If a previous instance of VidStream.exe was running with the device connected, you will need to simply unplug and replug the phone's USB cable.
- Press ESC to exit the PC Client application.
Re-enabling MTPz USB sync (Zune Mode)
- Open "USB Video Out"
- Answer Yes to enable MTPz
- The device will reboot to make the changes effective.

Hopefully in the near future we could flash our Lumia 900 without an ATF box and soldering anything... Can't wait for that day to come!

710 and 800?
that soldering atf stuff is also needed for L800, mate
only L710 has "official" qualcomm bootloader.
right now there is no other option, but i hope there will be someday.
but personally, i don't think so...

This is about WP8, L900 is WP7.8
And this is maximum developer unlock, which is not full unlock.

If you have @.edu email address from an University or High School, you can sign up a developer account for free
Microsoft supports email accounts from most universities and high schools (such as.. Harvard, MIT...:laugh

Dear,
A few months ago, I've upgraded my Lumia 925 to Windows 10 (preview) using Windows Insider: it went smoothly.
I decided to go back to WP8.1 using the Lumia Recovery Tool.
Today, I tried to update (again) to one of the Windows 10 previews, but I'm unable to upgrade: no updates found.
I know MS decided to exclude Lumia 925 to Windows 10 final: but: is there any possibility to upgrade to one of the developer previews?
When I download Windows Insider, I select fast ring: no updates are found (my account is enabled for developer previews).
Is this normal behaviour? I also tried to edit the registry to get Windows 10 redstone: unable to update: Update is downloading but when I try to install: unable to open update it says.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Pieter

Hey out there !
Upgrading to W10M works actually !!
Yesterday i upgraded my 925 from 8.1 Denim to W10M 10.0.14393.89
In Short:
All you need is the same 8.1 Firmware (.ffu)-File as is installed on your Phone.
Grab your FW on lumiafirmware Site
You need WP Internals 1.2 to unlock Bootloader and enable the Root access.
-YOU DIDN´T need Root-Tool and vcreg and all the other Stuff, ONLY WP Internals !!
Reboot Phone
After that, you must Boot your Phone via WP Internals into the Storage Mode
On PC open regedit and point to your Phone, called MainOS
In Regedit, you load the Registry of your Phone and do some Hacks and write the registry back to Phone
Reboot your Phone, go to MS Store and download Windows Insider App, start it and register for the Insider programm.
All done, you can use the fast ring, Slow ring and Preview .
If you wish, i can do a complete tutorial here !

With the phone turned off, press and hold "volume up" + "power". Keep pressing them until you see a lighting with a gear. From there, flash using "Windows Phone Image Designer".
Hello! Is there a way to interop unlock a x50 Lumia (Lumia 550) without a pc? I'm for a while away from my home and laptop and everybody here have pc running just Windows 7.
windows 7 is enough... just need:
.NET Framework 4.5.1
vcredist_x86.exe
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68459157&postcount=13
Thanks and good to know anyway .But since the laptop I'm going to use seems to be pretty messed up about drivers and other things (even ProjectMyScreenApp doesn't work) I won't risk for this time.I just wanted to stop wuauserv to quit updates.Can I do that somehow without Interop Unlock?
