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.

Besides that, the only work that's been done on HTCs is my quick diagnostic videos and the little tidbit about CSDiag from @timmymarsh. Afaik.....

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

How to brew up an android rom for htc hd7

Hello all! I jump from phone to phone when ever I can catch a broken one to fix for nearly free. I recently ran into an HTC HD 7 and am not really vibing to the windows mobile 7, and from what I read there is not currently a pre made rom available for installing android on this device. I am pretty technologically advanced and feel confident given the right direction on how to accomplish this I would be capable of creating one. I have read a lot of information but am some what lost mainly because of some of the lingo terminology, being that I haven't hacked/developed outside of the ios platform. I can program in just about any c based language. Any one got ne thing that can help me out here? If I build one how would I install it or go about uploading it to the device? Thanks in advance for any replies I do greatly appreciate all your time! I apologize about the noobness like I said ios is whats been available to me for the past few years, and now I want android like a kid wants candy!!!

Developers/programmers have been trying to figure out how to dual boot the HD7 (like the HD2) since it came out. The main problem seems to be how WP7 is compiled .NET and C#. WP7 securitys still aren't fully unlocked.
Take a look at the Project Haret thread, they seem to be making some progress at it and if you have the know how, maybe you can contribute.

Thanks for the heads up, appreciate the reply, btw where is the thanks button? sorry this is my second post here. I started to do some research into it. I believe the answer is in the coredll.dll file which may be stating the obvious. I think the way to go about accessing this or at least what I am going to try is an attempt to gain root access with my device tethered to my comp from terminal.

Your welcome! I've read through the whole Project Haret thread and there is alot of information, (some way to complicated for me) trial and error and it looks like as of recent there has been some good progress towards getting Haret to perform and (hopefully) run kernel mode and actually boot the kernel. You might be right, give it a shot or maybe put it on the thread and see what kind of feed back you get on it!
Is your device unlocked yet so that you can gain access to it and try it out?
Personally I would love to see the HD7 dual boot WP7 and Android. Don't get me wrong... I thoroughly enjoy WP7 and love my HD7it's very smooth, fast, stable and not once has it crashed on me. I believe that it would bring a longer life experience to the device and make it that much more versatile, especially since we're nearing the end of official support.
The thanks button should be there now, under the posts.

Ok so I realize I might sound like an idiot considering everything I said can be found within the haret documentation. I originally read something found on google with inaccurate information after you told me about the project, come to find out the information I read was in no way affiliated with the the actual project haha. Forgive my stupidy, I began to read and follow along the documaton for it at htc-linux.org, the only thing I am having issue with is obtaining haretconsole to explore the device. The link on the documentation I believe no longer exists, and I can't find a source anywhere! This is pretty good stuff though thanks for linking me up with it! Have you installed the development tools or haretconsole on a linux OS by chance? I was successful with the developement tools, just need to figure out this haretconsole problem. BTW which desktop OS do you prefer?
Sadly I can't tell if my device is unlocked yet haha. I work at a university doing LAN Administration currently and used my .edu e-mail to register as a developer. I then registered my device but don't see a single difference or maybe I just am doing something wrong. How do you suggest going about that(unlocking it that is, I don't care about it being official, just figured official would be easlier)? Also for the iPhone there is a desktop application which allows you to access the filesystem called iFunBox, is there anything similar for the wp7?
I would just love android lol, I like the HTC HD7 and have always been a fan of HTC products, It definately is pretty smooth and compared to my previous device a 3gs it's lightening fast! 3g isn't supported with the 3gs on t-mobile either. My biggest issue with wp7 is the fact it doesn't do anything I want to be done in a device, I use my mobile browser ALOT and I have never seen a browser period with this many bugs, I installed safari but it's not even the same lol! For the most part I strongly strongly dislike anything related to microsoft, but unfortunately I have to work with the windows platform quite often because of my job. There just such a dirty/shady/grimmy company period, I saw a commercial yesterday advertising bing where they claimed 2 out of three people choose bing over google in a blind study............how can they advertise that when they stole googles code! lol. Also it was a pretty dirty business move of microsoft to do what your talking about with the wp8. They claim there going to continue support on 7 but we both know they all say that and do put the effort towards the legacy system for a short period of time before cutting it. Screwing Nokia out of major growth potential within the U.S. while going back on the promise made to them regarding free upgrades to 8 for 7 devices. I think they feel like there invincible just because they currently run the desktop OS market share. I think their will likely be a major change in the preferred OS within the next 10 years, just because I work in an 30,000 user enterprise that refuses to upgrade their liscensing with microsoft because of windows 8's inability to meet our needs.
Sorry if this message way to long haha

Sorry its taken me so long to get back with you... Been crazy busy!
Unfortunetly I only have Windows OS, PC and Laptop. Funny enough though, I just got my laptop back from the shop a couple weeks ago and I had to have the harddrive replaced. Last week my PC got the BSOD (blue screen of death) and I had to completly wipe and restore it.
My next computer will be a Linux OS forsure. I wish I had one currently to install Haret and play around with it!
The student registration is limited and you can only sideload a max of 3 unasigned apps. You would be better off to fully unlock your device and install a custom rom, this will give you more options to sideload as many unasighned apps as you want in the form of XAP's through IE. Access to the registry/file system and to apply hack and tweaks. you can then familurize yourself with the OS and file system.
I can help walk you through the unlock process, it's pretty easy.
Go to settings, about, more info. post back all the information from that screen. Enter your device into bootloader mode - Power device off, hold down the volume down button and power the device back on, while continuing to hold down the volume down button, this will bring you into BL mode a tri-colored screen. Post back the information from that screen also.We can go from there. The proccess to unlock it basicially is to downgrade the SPL to 3.xxx or lower to install RSPL/HSPL wich will allow flashing of a custom rom.
My IE works excellent. It might be due to what build version that your device is running on. Either way once we get it unlocked there's custom roms running on Tango 8779 build with nice features and the device runs buttery smooth. there's also more mobile browsers available to install once it's unlocked, Opera Mobile,UC browser and a bunch more. There's all kinds of XAP's you can install to cusromize the device and enhance the user experience.
Totaly agree with you on the Android development for WP7 and the above statement regarding MS

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.

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.

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.

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

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

[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'm sorry you were unable to read my post properly, but if you can't, can you at least notify us of that in your comment. I said my friend bought it, and he wants android on it, so in more English, I was asking if someone could help me get android onto the windows phone (Samsung Ativ-S) that .MY. FRIEND. BOUGHT. NOT, can you please taunt my on my lack of knowledge in the field of Windows Phones. If you have trouble understanding English please go here http://www.englishpage.com/

He understood your post and gave an appropriate answer, it's not possible and even a little bit of research would have given you the same answer

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.

Lumia 735 Unlock
I've searched around the forum but haven't been able to find a conclusive answer - is there any known method for interop unlocking a Lumia 735 running WP8.1?
I can pretty much cap unlock any lumia with sd card. (reversed the rpc server,and wrote an rpc client, and I can pretty much write anywhere in the registry). my screen is broke so until that's replaced, I cant provide tools. my app needs refinements and cleanup.
ive also reversed the ativ s rpc server, I have full createprocess access in localsystem context. if anyone has anything interesting they can do there, I can share. also,the writing of multistrings in registry.

How did you initially get access to the FS to reverse the rpc server? Any pointers on your approach would be appreciated

Wow, What are you saying....
Mind telling me, Can you share your source ? or are you willing to post it in development thread ? It would be a good for further development with other team members.
If you written own one, then this is a great thing. We can expand it more with useful API.
I'v a few questions..
1. Is Samsung RPC service working fine with the "RPCComponent.winmd" ?
2. Is your battery drains fast ?
@GoodDayToDie Bro, check out this one... what he is saying...
Can you help us to bring the Samsung RPC Server to Lumia ?
If he has wrote his own driver services, then it is pretty much amazing...
Also I've one more hack to sign his drivers,service, reg files, so they will not break any sign check.
Really Need to do Investigation on this.

Thanks that's an interesting read - so you're essentially flashing it with another OEM ROM? I assume this wipes anything on the FS?

I just dumped ndtksvc.dll from the lumia rom, and simply disassembling it, it has all the information I need to write an rpc client and communicate with the server. it has many remote procedures, read and write to registry, copy and move files, all in the system context.

I will eventually share the source. its very messy right now. maybe ill release the source for ativ s in next few days(i'll try for today,but no promises). I have to write a mini tutorial too, because if you don't know how rpc code works,its hard to understand. I need to fix my lumia before I can refine the code because it contains lots of hardcoded memory addresses to windows dlls and very hacky things that will break whenever you restart your phone or install on a different phone.
also
1. I don't use RPCComponent.winmd. that's the whole point. my code is the RPC client,so I don't need third party libraries. I can call directly to rpc server.
2.my battery does not drain fast.
funny thing, I found an exe in the ativ called EnableUefiSB.exe (enable uefi secureboot),and in the code, there is support for a /disable flag. I thought this could disable secureboot,so I tried to run createprocess on it as SYSTEM, but it didn't do anything. then I read on the msdn dev page it doesn't work for retail phones .
@vcfan
Whoaa, So you wrote RPC Client lib. Great, so what i was thinking some month ago...
You did a nice investigation.. Also you can find my step by step research of Lumia Hacking in this forum (Looks like you are newly joined here)
Yeah, On retail device Hardware level features are totally disable (or some required stuff is missing) and we can't unlock them until we have an own custom UEFI.
You can post it to the Development thread. On this forum there is a many proffetional dev's and they are working since WM 6.0, WP7
Like @GoodDayToDie @Heathcliff74 @ceesheim @snickler and many other dev's
I love such cool dev's
Will wait for your next Instructions.
Many Many Thanks
I will post my ativ lib later tonight. do you have an ativ?

Me and @djamol works together mot of the time and both are working on a new very interesting research seems never done before
Isn't it dj ? Hahah
let me just go make a few more posts so I have 10 posts, so I can go post it in the dev forum lol

OK . It can be easy to reach your post numbers over 10 by posting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/general
In general forums there are many yes no questions you can answer them in a little while .
you can freely send me private your lib / source to check it while you're posting
you can reply to my post here to reach 10 . a little spam
lol thanks. ive already reached over 10 posts, but it still wont let me make a thread. anyways im attaching the lib and src code here for the ativ. ill post it on the dev forum when im allowed to make new thread.
theres only 2 functions I exposed, copyfile and createprocess for now.

OK i am now testing your lib .
file copy works nice but I can't check start process . I tried to start C:\\Programs\\Alarms\\Alarms.exe but it didn't run alarm app . maybe only address is not enough but i couldn't get able to use this function

i don't think you can run those exe windows apps with createprocess though. just like windows 8, they'll refuse to run in anything but in the context of an app container. they are launched by a special service who creates a special app container token for the application. i think only non gui system exe files will respond to createprocess.

I don't know were I saw an app that was able to show all running process and services . If I find that again I can see really what happens .
maybe it can help us to run WEH , I don't know need to try .
