OMG, I tried the jig I had for Omnia 7 (edit: ah, it was 300k), but I guess I did not have the right resistance or I did not hit the right pins.

I connected the USB JIG, 620K ohm to ATIV S, and here's what happened:

Inside found an interesting thing:
Code:
        <Setting Name="ProductString" Value="RM-910|Nokia Lumia 925"/>
      </SettingsGroup>
    </Component>
    <Component ComponentName="Device Info">
      <SettingsGroup>
        <Setting Name="Phone ROM Language" Value="0804"/>
        <Setting Name="Phone Hardware Revision" Value="1.0.0.0"/>
        <Setting Name="Phone SOC Version" Value="8260A"/>
        <Setting Name="Phone Mobile Operator Name" Value="UNI-CN"/>
        <Setting Name="Phone Manufacturer Model Name" Value="RM-910_apac_prc_200"/>
        <Setting Name="Phone Model Name" Value="Nokia 925"/>
        <Setting Name="Phone OEM Support Link" Value="http://link.nokia.com/support"/>
        <Setting Name="Phone Manufacturer" Value="NOKIA"/>
Samsuck just copy'n'pasted most of the code. Its FW is full of such files.

Yeah but what kind of unlock could it be, in your opinion? Bootloader/full-unlock or just another way to achieve interop-unlock?

P.S. silly question: if samsung simply made copy+paste of some code of lumia phones..does it mean that in future there's the possibility to port specific lumia features (glance & co.) on ativ s?

With current unlock we have access to 3 partitions only: MainOS, Data and MMOS. So, we can't do anything to Secure Boot now. UEFI and UEFI_ESP are still hidden.

It was mistake. Factory Mode doesn't load phone into Mass Storage mode.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I can't believe it xD so I suppose (and it's only a supposition, don't fire me if I'm totally wrong, please) that a factory mode needs a specific program to manage with it and with specific "prolific drivers"..I was thinking at something like phoenix for nokia phones..

QPST can connect to phone in FTM mode ;) In this mode you can for example edit radio settings and others... :)
Can we enable 4g on Ariv S??
Settings don't persist (I haven't tried FTM mode yet, but I have with QC Serial and RMNet modes), on the Odyssey. You could potentially enable another band using QPST, but I can never get it to remember settings after hitting apply. The phone just reboots and acts like nothing ever happened. :(

no you can't because the Hardware is missing.
there are actually 2 types.

one that has 3G without a fm Radio
one that has 4G with fm Radio

the modem is simply missing in the ativ s
Probably but I did see somewhere whilst poking about a reference to having two radios, trad GPRS/HSPA Only uses one radio which is why calls and data don't work at the same time, its probably a setting or reference that has come across the two skus but the only way to know for sure would be to pull the PCB out and look...

Sorry for bringing up such an old thread, but just FYI for anyone who is going to try this in the future: don't! Unless you have nothing to loose. I got into the Factory Mode with my MacGyver resistor (piece of paper, 2 paper clips and a pencil), but when I rebooted the phone to exit Factory Mode it did not boot. It was stuck in Windows Boot Manager complaining about unsigned files. Nothing a ROM flash could not fix, but I had a lot of stuff I lost (by stuff I mean interop unlock etc) that I need to do again.
