Did MS block access to SYSTEM folder?? - Windows 10 Mobile

Forgive me if this has already been found/fixed/forgotten, but it's been a while since I've actually even tried it. In File Explorer, when tapping on my trusty old Local Disk C shortcut nothing happens anymore ☹ I don't know if it's been blocked or not, but it's been at least 3 or 4 builds since I've even desired going into the system folder. Even my AOW Shortcuts aren't anymore, but instead they give an error saying the directory couldn't be found and would I like to delete the shortcut. Maybe MS finally removed the AoW bits from the recent builds, but that doesn't explain why the Local Disk C shortcut does nothing.
I'm running the latest Insider Slow build 14342.1004.

its "blocked" since 10586.107. but you can still access all folders on pc with enabling full fs access or using sftp (with vcreg or interop tools etc)

Ahh, I figured this was the case. I don't care for the FS Access thing on pc. Last time I enabled that I could *barely* get my phone to connect to the pc. On average it took 15 minutes to connect, but eventually it stopped altogether. I had to hard reset to fix it.

yep, same here. connectes fine but takes ages to appear in the explorer. but in that case you could use sftp access. simply get the interop tools and activate it (you might need to reset the ndtksvc.dll manually, vcreg has a button for it though iirc), read the tutorials about it. you need the old android bridge tools to get the private key (and convert it with puttygen to use it with pageant) and keep it paired to be able to connect with winscp for example

Last .1004 fast ring build connect my phone with full mtp acces in less 1 minute.

Are SSH RSA keys a system-wide thing?

Hello everyone. I'm not very experienced with Linux but have done some. I want to connect to my Tomato router using GScript and RSA keys. I generated keys with ConnectBot and I can connect to it from there fine, however when I try to connect from GScript using ssh -p port [email protected] 'command', I get an error about the host not being in the trusted hosts file. Is this because the RSA keys are not system-wide and GScript is not using what was created by ConnectBot, or is this a different unrelated problem? Any help would be great, thanks!
I really don't know where to start with this. I seriously recommend you read Wikipedia and experiment more with virtualized Linux computers (VMware Player or Oracle VirtualBox are good starts, running CentOS and Ubuntu).
RSA keys, as you're talking about at first, is the public key encryption scheme used to authenticate you to connect to your router, in this case. BUT. The keys you talk about in the second part? Those aren't keys. Your "trusted hosts file" is a list of unique fingerprints that an SSH server creates when it's first initialized, and are used to "sign" that it's the server you're connecting to.
For example, if every day you connect to the same server, and then suddenly one day, you get told that the fingerprints don't match, and you know that nothing has changed on the server end, it's a good chance that something got messed up, or that someone is attempting to perform some kind of a man-in-the-middle attack.
To get back to your question though, no, the Trusted Hosts file is not shared between ConnectBot and GScript. Odds are, ConnectBot isn't even sharing your SSH key (the RSA key) with GScript, and you haven't even gotten to that error yet. The SSH key can be system wide though (PROTIP: Just put it on the root of your SD card and load it into ConnectBot/GScript by manually adding the key file).
Thanks for your help. So basically I just want these two programs to share trusted hosts files and RSA keys. How does GScript initially come to trust a host, and how come ConnectBot didn't have this issue? I guess I could try to find the trusted hosts file ConnectBot is using, and can I move its key file to the root and then share it with GScript? Or do I need to make a new one (possibly in Cygwin on the desktop) and copy it over to the SD card.
I do plan to read more about this stuff, but that will happen in time. Right now I feel very close to accomplishing what I want (as you can probably tell by me posting this at 4:45 AM ).
Thanks again.
For the trusted hosts issue, you can't really share them, as there's no standardized format to the file (it's like trying to swap an MP3 and an AAC file; they both may be music, and they both may be of the same song, but they're quite different). There should be an option on the GScript error message to just add the host to the trusted list. If not, try running the same command from a terminal (ADB shell, or open ConnectBot and connect to local).
In regards to the key file, you'll just have to hunt down wherever ConnectBot placed it, and move it to the root of the SD card, then re-add it in ConnectBot (Press Menu and then Manage SSH keys to get to the key list. Menu again to select add/import).
Thanks. I'm having no luck finding ConnectBot's key file, so I just made a new one in Cygwin and will put it in my SD card. However I'm still not sure how to add/import that into GScript, or how to get GScript to trust that host (I don't see an option for it with the error message). These are questions I need to direct towards the GScript crowd, unfortunately its thread hasn't received much activity in awhile. Is there any other way you would go about saving a script to run from your home screen?

quickest way to load kodi/firestarter & backup?

What's the fastest way to install KODI & Firestarter? I'm using abdfire for everything, however, the whole process takes too long.
Any ideas? Also, is there a way to bypass the Amazon login portion.
If you take the time to figure out how to connect to the device via ADB, and put the files you want to install (eg kodi.apk, starter.apk) in the same directory as adb.exe, installing both can be done in about a minute. First on the FireTV > Settings > System > Developer Options, enable ADB Debugging and Apps from Unknown Sources.
Next start a command prompt in the adb.exe directory (Shift+right-click in the directory and select "Open command window here"). Execute commands:
Code:
adb connect 192.168.1.2
adb install -r kodi.apk
adb install -r starter.apk
Skip the -r if this is a fresh install rather than a re-install or update. To get your device's local IP address, go to Settings > System > About > Network and look at the first line
I don't know whether you can bypass logging into Amazon. What happens if you boot the device without internet access?

Awesome, thanks! If I were to drop my backup folder into the same directory as adb.exe and run
adb install backup.folder
Do you think that would work? I'm at work & cant test it myself just yet.
Also, about the logging into Amazon part, I don't think you can bypass it because you need to enable ADB Debugging and Apps from Unknown Sources.
UNLESS, you can enable it somehow without logging in or correcting to the interest...
The backup folder would have to be pushed to the correct directory

The adbfire GUI does this perfectly. I've got it down to a 15 min process from stock to modified inc add-ons etc. I'd recommend hardwiring the computer you run adbfire on, and have the firestick as close to the router as possible (or hardwire if it's a FTV.) If the add-ons arnt a big deal, you can have Kodi and Firestarter done within 10mins using the GUI. Anyway, restore process that works best for me is:
-Connect Firestick to WiFi, log in, enable adb debugging and unknown apps.
-Get IP from Settings>About>Network
(The rest can be done from a PC now.)
-Load adbfire GUI, connect using IP found above.
-Install APK (select the Kodi apk.)
-Install Firestarter using the button provided.
-Click 'Restore' and select backup taken using 'Backup' from a previously modded Firestick (with all the add-ons/build you prefer.)
-This can take between 15min and 1 hour depending on your connections to router (what I mentioned above about hard wire etc) and also the size of the backup. My build is over 1GB, hardwired PC with Firestick 3 feet from the router, it takes me 13min to restore.
Personally this took my install time down from ~2 hours to 15minutes, mainly because the build I prefer is so large and takes a lot of tweaking to get going (however once I had it sorted, taking a backup means newly-restored devices are 100% ready when the backup process is done.)
I've spent more time on this than I'd like to admit but I got sick of spending 2hours and headaches each and every time!

Why is your build so large? do you install other apps besides Kodi? Which addons do you use?
For those with a slow connection who are trying to build a FireTV (not the Stick), it might be faster to place the kodi backup on a microSD plugged into the device and move the directory from there to the Kodi userdata directory instead of trying to move it from a computer over Wifi.
The way i did it was...
1) Installed ES File Explorer
2) Installed Firestarter using ES File Explorer
3) Installed latest stable version of Kodi from FireStarter
4) Used Fusion/Wizard to install popular Add-ons (TVMC)
extremely easy

Andy's build v7 - it's impressive - but a pain in the ass to get working (i4atv updated last week causing major headaches.) The latter is what led me down the backup/restore route.

If I start jailbreaking these and selling them on Craigslist, should I be worried about Amazon suspending my email / account for using the same IP or email too many times?

Well for a start, jailbreaking is not the right term here, lets leave that to iOS
Secondly, I'm not in the best position to advise, I don't sell these, I simply have a few and didn't want to spend hours sorting them all out once an update or a different build is released. I would suggest you do NOT use your personal Amazon account if you plan to do this though, it's not worth the risk. Perhaps look into creating a different one...

gee.. how did I know the OP question was for this reason....
As stated in a previous post, I avoid adb all together and use ES Explorer to download Kodi apk and FireStarter Apk and then use Fusion Config Wizard for most popular add-ons.. I can get this all done under 10 minutes a stick.. On Black Friday and Cyber Monday I purchased 100 Firesticks for $2500 ($25/piece sale) (purchased in Delaware to avoid sale tax) and have been selling them side loaded with Kodi for $80-$100. Let's just say it's going to be a good Christmas. The market is saturated with these (Craigslist, eBay) I usually sell by word of mouth and I even have a few store owners who bought 5 at a discount.

FS Access breaks USB/File Explorer in Windows 10 pc

I enabled FS access, per instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...e/tutorial-how-to-change-icons-quick-t3256590 and upon reboot of the phone, connecting the phone via USB no longer works (I can't access anything through file explorer)
I'm attaching a screenshot of how it shows up in device manager.
I have already made this change to the phone's registry:
HKLM/software/microsoft/mtp/datastore changed back to C:\Data\Users\PUBLIC - still no luck.
Is there another registry key that needs to be modified? Other USBs and devices work on the computer, so its not an issue with the computer.
EDIT:
This solution is fixed, although I don't know what caused it.
I installed the WPTweaker app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...ptweakers-2015-08-17-added-5th-quick-t3180474
Toggled the "FS Access" setting; reboot the phone (left USB plugged into PC).
Upon restart, toggled again, restart (left USB plugged into PC).
On the 2nd restart, Windows Explorer just loaded my phone, with full FS Access.
The settings (and FS access) survived a third reboot and I still have USB access!
If anyone knows WHY the USB access was originally lost in the first place, I'd love to hear any suggestions. It's great it's "fixed," but knowing why would be awesome. I am wondering if CustomPFD's FS Access settings/registry save to the Data key is somehow imperfect and either saves corrupt or doesn't save. CustomPFD writes other keys successfully and changes are saved upon subsequent reboots, but for some reason, FS Access just would not play nice.
(For reference, my phone is Lumia 830 RM-985 with Windows 10 Insider, Slow ring build)

Need Help Recovering Pictures

It's a Verizon Pixel XL 32gb running build NDE63X fully stock.
I've tried everything mentioned in normal and safe mode through multiple reboots, power downs, etc.
Phone won't connect to cell data but will connect to wifi. It states that cell data is turned off but if I turn it back on it immediately turns back off without ever connecting.
Windows 10 file manager as well as Thunar and Nautilus file managers for Ubuntu 16.04 all show the pixel as a network device but won't show anything there.
Fastboot will show ID from bootloader
ADB won't show anything anywhere.
When I click developer options it says "Developer options are not available for this user" (This seems damned suspicious and seems likely to be what's grieving me)
Home button ONLY does the animations and nothing else. The recent apps button doesn't do anything however the back button works.
I tried using google cloud to back up the photos but it never uploads anything anywhere, just sits there saying it's uploading X images (I've tried single pictures as well as sets of pictures, videos, and anything else I could think to try.
I'm pretty confident that a factory reset will resolve everything but I can't do this until I can get photos off. I've been googling, DDGing, and all around scraping xda, reddit, and anywhere else I can think of. Any help or suggestions would be great!

What you could do is download "ES File Explorer" from the play store and when opened, navigate to Network>remote management. It will give you an IP and a port. Pop this into an ftp client on your computer such as Filezilla Client. It will list your device and you can copy to a desired location on your computer
Can you email, bt file share, install Dropbox or OneDrive and turn photo back up on, plug in the otg adapter and a flash drive, adb pull files, share to google drive? Last resort display them on screen and take a pic with another camera.
Go into settings and see which user you are signed in with. Maybe that is the problem.

I'm not sure you read my post... adb isn't doing anything. It should, but doesn't. This is likely due to developer options being inaccessible as I mentioned in the OP. Uploading the files hasn't worked with Google Drive and should. I admit that I haven't tried with Dropbox or OneDrive due to not having accounts with either group but if other solutions don't work I can try making a dropbox. Wired transfer has been a bust, again, thoroughly mentioned in OP.

I'm signed in as Name being the correct name of the user. I've tried clicking on it to switch users to attempt to resolve the issue but to no avail. There should only be the one user on the device and they should have full permissions but this doesn't seem to be the case, though I can find no alternate user account.
Maybe dd the data partition from fastboot and mount it in Linux to copy the files
I had exactly the same issue. This seems to be an issue of a "dirty" flash. On Marshmallow this issue happened sometimes, and the cause was that Android expects the Setup Wizard to be running. There is a flag which forces the WIzard to start, but I couldn't get this fix running on 7.1.1.
I installed an FTP Server on my Pixel and fetch the data off there.
There was no other way that to completely wipe the device. This will be the last time I will ever buy a phone without a SD card slot. With my Samsung device I could easily flash forth and back, because all my data was on my SD card, not being affected by a full wipe / reflash.

Enabled WiFi Calling on Lumia 950DS for T-Mobile.

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.

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.

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.
