Nothing exists for the Lumias as of now. Looking through the top threads under Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking, you'll see that same question asked.

You're making the assumption that there's devs actively trying to do it... I was the first one to perm-root the Garminfone (Android), simply because nobody else was trying

trust me, there's a lot of people trying. The samsungs are easier because they've got the built-in registry editor.

hacking lumia phones look to be very hard.
sometimes i think about switch to Ativ S but i love my L920

If someone could tell me how i can get in to the system of the lumia windows os i could try messing with it and maybe find something out!

... I don't even know how to respond to that. Have you read *anything* about our work hacking this OS? Assigning reasonable meanings to "get in to the system" and "find something out" (because you were incredibly vague), no we can't tell you that; the whole point is that we don't yet know how to "get in". If you just meant read-only access througg, there's the webserver (limited permissions but runs on a retail device) or the ROM image (which you can mount and browse at will, but it's not "live" in any way).

I asked that coz they have obv got into the device or else there wouldnt have been the inteprop unlock...i just wanted to know how..

go look at the forum that explains how interop unlock was achieved on the ATIV S. If you've read enough to know that a wp8 phone is interop unlocked, you'd know the reasoning why it was possible for the ativ s and not the lumias right now. Just wait until someone releases a thread detailing how to interop unlock the Lumia devices. Until then, you'll have to use your phone as.... A normal retail wp8 phone.

Thanks snickler ur one of the devs right?..
Well does anyone know why sideloaded games dont work but apps do?...i have a dev app and i tried the to sideload games which just startup and automatically shutdown...whereas apps work fine
Lumia 520 Reporting ---|||---

I'm going to go wayyyy out on a limb and guess it's because your dev app is a legitimate development version of an app, whereas your games are not?

Yeah...this sounds like he's wanting advice in terms of piracy. This community isn't for helping you get your cracked apps/games working on your phone. If you want games and apps to work, BUY THEM LEGITIMATELY AND SUPPORT THE DEVELOPERS.

Iphone unlocking

A friend of mine has purchased an iphone and has tried to unlock it, i am not sure what has gone wrong but he cant reload the software after unlocking. does any one have any clue to this
regards,
prash
One of the most important parts of unlocking the iPhone is reading and understanding the instructions.
Much like reading and understanding the forum titles and purposes of the forums There's a thread for iPhone support which has some useful links.
Can't put the firmware back on could be so many, many different things that it's impossible to help without more information.
what firmware does he have.. 1.1.2 or earlier.
if he has an iphone with otb 1.1.1 or lower it could be unlocked easily. pm me. if newer than for now turbosim from bladox is the way to go....

I don't know for sure but your phone might have an engineering ROM on it at the moment, so only engineering ROMs can be flashed.

yep, but i might have outsmarted them.. we simply need to repack the rom without signin/secureboot
Hi All
Sorry if this is a silly question but I thought all WP8 updates and Ativ S were done OTA and we didn't need to start flashing Roms like we do for SGS3.
My Ativ S says its on version 8.0.10327.77, isn't this GDR2, Am I missing something?
Thanks
Yep.i have a completely unlocked Developer Version. Secureboot is disabled an such

you can't buy one. I happened to stumble into one, and i'm trying to do everything i can to bring it back to normal, since the phone won't update itself.
If I may suggest, there are people on this site who could do far more useful things with a phone like that. Heathcliff74, for example, is working on a root-unlock for WP8 (as am I) and a non-secure-boot test device would be useful to him (though I don't know if he actually needs a device at this time, or what he'd pay; that was just an example of somebody who might be interested). You can probably recoup most or all of the money you sunk into it and give the hacking community a boost as well.
Oh, and @tgriger, we can already do that. I found out how a couple weeks ago. Read the dev&hacking subforum.

i'd like to do that, but i'm from italy... i kind of doubt there is a safe way for the phone to arrive to you intact, plus the fees are outrageous. If someone wants to buy it can talk to me in private thought, i'll see if i can arrange it. But you can't disable secureboot once the fuse is blown, so i think you can't root the device; and the feaure i think it's provided at the SOC level. And i'm a little bit of a rom developer, so if i learn how to change things i can provide a platform for mods. I can even tell you this: if someone pays me the fees and buy me a new one( the phone is like new, it was bought march 2013 and it had no sign of being used a lot, and on expansys is at 230€ so i think it's fair, it was over 500€ when i bought it)

@Heathcliff74 is from the Netherlands, so shipping would not be too hard from Italy. Also I just bought an ATIV S from Amazon.de for a bit under 200€.
A non-secureboot device would just be a test platform, not something that it's expected that all devices would be able to make use of. Secure Boot isn't perfect; there are ways around it (some are device-specific, which is less ideal but seems likely to exist on most smartphones; others are not). However, while some people hack on SB, others could hack on making *use* of the ability to install custom ROMs. That's where an unlocked bootloader device would be handy.
Also, yeah, there are lots of European phone hackers. No need to worry about sending it to the US!
It's an interesting device for sure. But there is no way I can afford € 200 now. I have a wife an kids to support too, you know. Maybe at a later time.
Never Said it was an obligation- only stated what i thought was a fair price. If someone wants it and has other proposals I'm listening.

So, i would say we could donate to you, that you can afford the device.
Depending on how many users would hop onto this idea, it wouldn't be that much per person
Well, if you're fine with that idea, you can count on my donation

I'm sorry, but it can't be done yet. Interop unlock was barely achieved on the Samsung ATIV S, using the help of Samsung-only assemblies, it cannot be achieved on other devices yet. The Windows Phone 8X from HTC is a great phone, I had one myself, but I'm afraid there's very little hacking you can do at the moment, unless you find a new way yourself.
Well, the first place you can start is by obtaining a rom for your device. The first thing I'd look through is any of the reg files in it, and then try looking for any XAPs inside it too. You can try and decompile the apps using dotpeek. That can lead you to some hidden pages inside of the apps. That's how the registry editor was found on the ATIV. @tonbonz had found one for the Lumias in various apps, but the pages didn't do anything.
Its just a matter of understanding how Windows (NT) has worked for the past 20? years, and how Windows CE/Mobile has merged into this concoction that's called WP8.

for now only official developer unlock can do on HTC or Nokia WP.... and this is far from wanted root access possibility... this be available only with full unlocked custom ROM but for now not exists and maybe only be in ours dreams...
"Hacking" is almost always a largely self-taught skill, too; we can point you at things you need to know (some reverse engineering, some coding, an understanding of the OS security mechanisms, an understanding of the application model, etc.) and some tools you will want (the WP8 SDK, additional WP8 library files (possibly extracted using a tool like dll2lib) and headers, a managed code decompiler such as Reflector or JustDecompile, a native code disassembler such as IDA, etc.), but we can't tell you how to put it all together. If we knew that ourselves, we wouldn't need any help... but the help we need is from people who can figure things out without having their hands held.
thank you very much

[Q] WP8 Software SIM Unlock???

So...I apologize if this isn't in the proper section, as I was unsure of where to start this thread and have not really come across anything on this subject other than dealing with Android.But...... I've been searching for a solution to SIM unlock my Lumia 520 weather it be free or cheap. Apparently the Lumia 710 method will not work for this. So during my searches and attempts I got a few ideas...most have been forgotten lol but something that just hit me was the curiosity as to if there was a permanent software sim unlock that is in the works or that nobody has found or nobody is talking about. SO...with that said...does anyone know of such a program? i suppose we are halfway there when you consider the Dev unlocks...maybe this could even bring a solution for unlocking the bootloaders also...
Anyone?

[Q] Installing android on Samsung GT-18750?

My friend had recently purchased a Samsung GT-18750 from another friend thinking I could install android onto it. After hearing his proposal to do so I thought It'd be possible but I knew nothing about Windows phones. So he had given it to me and I have had no luck in my search for installing android onto this phone. I understand that there are plenty of custom ROM's for it but I need android as you can't do much with a windows phone that you could do with an android, also that windows has no good apps or games that are at least common in any way. So I was wondering if there was anyone who could direct me on how to install android onto a Samsung GT-18750?
Is this another "hey I have a windows phone here that I want to shoe horn android onto" dude seriously go buy an android phone as there is a lot more android phones out there to choose some so this request pardon my lack of manners is just stupid

For now it's not possible because requires a signed custom ROM.
Actually there are no "real custom rom", only modded CSC file (configuration file for rom) that edit the Registry.

Anything that will put any sort of android on there. I do not care if it is modded or not real or rooted or it voids the warranty. I would just like to help my friend. The main issue is not having the android apps he wants. Even if there is some way to get android apps on there?

I have an android phone, I have a jflte with the Pacman 4.4.4 ROM. What the gentleman couldn't understand is it wasn't I that had purchased the device. And if he had read it then he would understand that from that post he could of never determined that I had not bought an android device, in saying that his implication was to say that I would need to buy an android device to get android. He did not read the post, and as it seems to me that you concludes that he had, then I am only to left to conclude that he has trouble understanding the English language in its full form, something else that lead to suggest his lack in understanding of English is the way he constructed his statement; although it may not be true, he himself left enough evidence to believe so. So you must understand that either he did not read the post or does not understand English.
