Bwahahaha, that's hilarious!
@megasounds (and anybody else): I believe that this allows using the interop-unlock hack (for Samsung WP8 phones only) and interop-requiring apps on retail GDR3 without flashing a modified update (or downgrading). It is a very silly thing for them to do, after all the work they put into locking it down...

But GDR3 still can't be unlocked without downgrade.

Ah, sadness. Is that because the Diag app gets overwritten, or...?

Speaking of problems with GDR3, does anybody know where my \Programs (or \Users\DefApps) folders went under GDR3? They are no longer visible with Full FS Access enabled. I could have sworn they used to be, but I installed the latest preview updates (revision 512 -> 521) and now I can't find them. I still have access to the restofthe file system, though...

It's because of new Diagnosis and CSCMgr.

RPC server itself doesn't give you interop unlock.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure what the "CSCMgr" is here, apparently I need to do more research into the background of how the unlock works. I knew they had updated the Diagnosis app though, which (if they removed the registry editor interface) would obviously prevent interop-unlock.

I think I've figured out at least part of the reason for the missing app folders. The way I was turning on Full FS Access (which didn't involve rebooting the phone) appears to have changed the root folder for MTPSVC, so I could see most of the file system, but not to have changed the user it ran under (still PROTOCOLS instead of SYSTEM), which I base on the fact that I could see the \Users\PROTOCOLS folder but not \Users\DefApps, and could read but not write the HOSTS file (which is only writable by SYSTEM). I should find a way to make the MTPSVC stably start up under the SYSTEM account every time...

This debug output file was also created on my htc 8x after I had my htc 8x "security off".
contents of the file :
"

// This log file describes test failures from the Production Self Test.
// If you see this log file, it means that this device is not ready to ship
// because some of the production self tests are failing. If this is a pre-production

That's common thing, but file is only useful on those samsungs.
