Windows Phone Internals - Unlock bootloader, enable Root Access, create Custom ROM

I still don't get what you want. You want Windows Phone Internals in Turkish? My app is not a "legacy app". My tool is WPF based, so it is already unicode. If you wish to extract text from the tool, this is not possible due to protection.

This is a problem with your account on the PC. Your account doesn't seem to have administrator-privileges. What OS are you using? Try these:

- Start wpinternals.exe by right-click and "run as admin"
- Log in windows with a different account with Localadmin privileges
- Temporary disable anti-virus
- Or try on a completely different computer.

Please let me know the results.

Main PC is W7U/W81P/W10P x64
Laptop is W7U/W81P/Mint x86

Looking like it doesnt like my Windows 7 Install on either of my PCs. Tried it in 8 and it worked first time. Funny thing is I havnt even setup 8 properly on my laptop, not even got system drivers in it yet (too lazy atm) but it went straight though.

Heres some 7 info though just for the record.

I get rid of all the Admin stuff on a fresh install and never had any sort of Admin issue before. (UAC is completey disabled through registry and Admins are granted full access silently)

I did notice that I missed a driver that hadnt got installed on x64 (a qualcomm one) but it did on x86 but the result was still the same.

Enabled the in-built Administrator account but that failed as well.

Also tried running WPI as SYSTEM using PsExec but it failed to load

Anyway, at least I now I can access the rooting tools from my PCs now just not from my main OS

Glad you got it working. Thanks for testing and reporting the details!! Someone else mentioned this problem on Windows 7. I had a hard time believing it had to do with Windows 7, but now I start to doubt. Possibly I need to use different privileges on Windows 7 to apply patches on the phone. I will do more testing.

No worries, I modify my Windows indexes quite heavily before deployment so I always assume its one of the tweaks or something Ive removed that causes the problems but if its happened to someone else then I always blame Microsoft

Im very new to WP8, have always shyed away due to the 'lockdown' but thanks to WPI I might pay a little more interest to the scene!

Thanks again

Ok, thanks to @A AJAY for the tip. This SBL3 works fine to enabling mass-storage mode in Lumias 520, 620 and 720. Tested today .

Thanks to @AndroidXsK for release SBL3 files.

Emergency mode has MANY limitations. Emergency mode on MSM8974 and higher have even more limitations. You can write only specific locations on the phone (full flash is not possible). Payload has integrity checks (custom payload cannot be flashed). Once flashed to the device, there is still SecureBoot, so phone will not boot custom code.

I have not seen these in action. I believe it when I see it. If Lumia 1520 was hacked, wouldn't it be big news by now?

Unlocking bootloader on 1520 it's so easy...
I've 640 BootLoader Unlocked,
Even, On 950 also possible but not yet tested.
I can't share more info because promise to author. This hack original not based on any hacks.

 

[MrCego]

Question: when I restore bootloader, why is mandatory flash a stock rom? Why don't happened the same like happen when unlock boot?

 

[Heathcliff74]

Because it is a "half flash". And when the bootloader is locked, it is not possible to simply escape from Flash mode. I know another method which possibly works as you want, but I need to implement that in a future version.

It would be awesome. Waiting for that.

djamol, if 640 works, does that mean the 640XL is possible as well?
Specs:

640:
Chipset Qualcomm MSM8926 Snapdragon 400
CPU Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7
GPU Adreno 305

640XL:

+640XL LTE single-sim RM-1062, I'm also looking for this!


I now think it's like this though (as opposed to what gsmarena says)
640, 640XL = MSM8226
640 LTE, 640XL LTE = MSM8926


I read that only 8926 supports LTE and on my phone
Settings System About says "Chip SOC version: 8926"

No, it is not where the problem originates. But it is indeed the location where I apply the work-around for this problem.

Please keep it on-topic. It would be great if these devices get unlocked. But so far I have not seen anything in action, so it is only speculation. I have heard too many times from people who thought they had found an unlock, but it was just a bad hunch. If these unlocks exist, they deserve their own thread. This thread is about Windows Phone Internals.

Bootloader of my Lumia 920 got relocked again after upgrading from 10.0.10586.29 to 10.0.10586.36.. Do I have to roll back to WP8.1 to unlock it again..?

I doubt this has to do with the last update. The Windows 10 updates so far have not overwritten the bootloaders. I did the update myself and the bootloader was still unlocked. Or do you mean that you had to disable Root Access?

If you want to unlock the bootloader on Windows 10, you can follow the same procedure. But there is a risk. If your partition layout was changed during the updates (probably not, but not sure), then your phone won't boot properly after unlocking the bootloader. You can still recover from that, because you can still flash a stock ROM or custom ROM after that. But your data on the phone will obviously be gone then.
