Our second release of custom ROM made by marass82 for Ativ S to work smoothly with latest Preview upgrade. Files system access and ability to install homebrew apps like WPHtweaks and edit the registry with SamWP8Tools.
Depends on your base firmware and later upgrading to Preview you can choose between CMK2 and CMJ1 version of modification.Install Preview first then flash the phone with choosen custom.

Features:
  • Added the necessary privileges (WP8.1 blocks adding privileges as before using xap, so we've added to our necessary ROM)
  • Additional applications under trigger the camera like: Camera360, OneShot, SophieLens HD or Samsung Shooting Mode (just install it from market)
  • Activity rate of data packets
  • Added options on / off automatically download MMS
  • More Times ou for the screen lock options up to Never
  • Export contacts to your SIM card
  • Added Google search engine to choose IE
  • Removed several applications from Samsung
  • Full access to system files (WP8.1 jammed full access, but we managed to work around it as the first)
  • Audio lock removed after restart
  • Our forum when you first start IE
  • Replaced two color accents
  • Interop (functional)
  • Amendment settings to auto backlight sensor

Two CSC included:
  • XEO (Poland)
  • DBT (Germany)

How to flash:

Base firmware, aka ROM CMK2 or CMJ1 if you need one:

Click on Select and CSC for WP8.1 custom:


Resetting phone to factory settings is essential after flashing
Download your version and enjoy!
  • The NO FS mean there is no access to file system. Some of you do not like browsing folders to get into WP library :)

OK. All cutom roms will copy yours, because they are all created using your tools. And thank you for your work.

Is your rom contains new privileges that we got from WP8.1. and which allow for deeper changes in the registry? This so. (Obviously useless)
Does your rom have full access to system files? This so. (Obviously useless) (Anyway, I found a way to circumvent this and described on this forum. Sorry my mistake it no more repeats:D)
Does your ROM, you can choose an alternative application to operate the camera with the camera button?, This so. (Obviously useless) (useless to you, someone may like it)
I still have a few other changes that may be useless to you, but others may come in handy.

You probably are not interested in you that I found a way to add all privileges to WP8.1 on Ativie, nor useful:D. So much finished.

Disable Driver Signature Enforcement, then install the drivers. Works on win7, win8/8.1
My method:

1. Restart your computer and Disable Driver Signature Enforcement. (Press F1, F2, F5 or F7 when you press the power button)

2. In some cases you still can't install the driver due to errors so you install it manually from here.

3.Put your phone in 'Recovery Mode' by holding both the VolUp and Camera button, then hold the power button for 3 seconds while still holding the VolUp and Camera.

4. It is now detected in Device Manager. Click "Update Device Driver" and locate the path of the .INF driver. It will install successfully It will then install and the flashing tool will detect your phone.

What is this warning "partition info does not match" after pressing start ?

The flashing tool log: (I didn´t load all binaries, only the csc)

[Channel 0] Channel Write CSC data Start!!
[Channel 0] Channel Write DBT CSC data Success!!
[Channel 0] Partition info does not Match !!
[Channel 0] Binary Download complete!!

Is this ok and I have to do a hardreset now ?

I don´t want to risk my phone at the current state of development of my IO Explorer app, but I need back the full-filesystem access.

just that Partition info is div then the old one on the phone ,
you get the same if you flash a gdr3 rom over a gdr1
and you always need to Hreset after a csc update .

if you flashed the csc then yes :D
you could also wait and first do your stuff :D ( good work btw on the IO Explorer :good: )
I could do it better with full-access to the filesystem, because on device some folders are invisible (e.g. WPSystem on the sd card), but you can browse them if you know the path. So I would like to browse on my desktop first...

The flashing process went well, but now I only can connect to the store via Wi-Fi, cellular network doesn´t connect. Any suggestions ?

Edit: My cellular network seems to be broken at all: email account doesn´t sync either.

I've got the same problem recently, try editing the APN setting manually, add a new APN and insert as followed: APN-Name: "internet" , APN: "internet"

Leave all other fields blank/default.



Worked for me with o2 Germany.
