Hello gentlemen,
I was thinking to buy a Samsung ATIV S device, i am a Windows Mobile User currently (HD2), i thought i would write some apps for myself or for fun etc, then i could test on my phone so i would buy that handset. I made a little search in the internet, but realized that I have to have Developer account to test code on my device (99 USD / year).
Is there a way that we can unlock ATIV S and remove max apps limit (they say 10)? I have found results that only look like for Windows Phone 7.
Sincerely, this situtuation looks like a little absurd for me I would feel like i have a car, but behind the steering wheel someone else is sitting...
Currently you can't developer Unlock a WP8 device without having a Developer Account. You can get a Developer Account for free if you're a student through the Dreamspark program.
And the ATIV S also has the dreaded Interop-Unlock as brought forth from Mango.

Ok, if any place, this is the place to ask.
I still have one of those dreakspark accounts with a dev account. What do I need to unlock and side load apps or 3rd party tools on my HTC 8X ?
Is there a Interop unlock process for WP8 or full unlock with Root tools is it too soon for this ? Is there any other "unlock" options floating around that teams are working on ? I really just want Advanced Config to work on my phone because I miss custom colors but, it should work, right ?
I would love to be able get started with my dev account, what do I need to do ? I do have a partition with Windows 8 x64 on it.....
Is there any thing I should be reading ?
Thanks in advance !
Install WP8 SDK, unlock with phone registration tool.

Yea, thanks...
Is there any type of advanced unlock or will any of the WP7.5 tools like root tools work on Windows Phone 8 ? That is what my post is really about, is there a Interop unlock or full unlock yet ?
I don't think anyone has cracked WP8 yet for interop unlock and I have been following this forum for awhile. There isn't even custom ROMs yet.
As far as the WP8 SDK, be aware you need Windows 8 on your PC. It will not install on Windows 7
I upgraded my PC to Windows 8 so I could load the SDK and use my Dev Account to unlock. But all you can do is side load apps that do not need root or interop access...but I keep hoping. At this point I have yet to side load anything because my old WP7.5 side loads all need root/IU.
At least WP8 offers enough additional configurability to keep me somewhat satisfied but I still have my old Trophy.

Yea, I am dual booting with Windows 8, so I installed it and Dev unlocked but, the dreamspark account I have has a limit of 3 apps Wish at least there was a way around this right now...
Anyone play with any tools from HTC days? I even saw that HTC Connection Setup is available in the marketplace. Getting MAX unsigned apps would be great right now to hold me out till the tools and custom roms can come.
I just miss Advanced Config the most, I HATE limit the factory colors, I need my custom colors back....Is this too much to ask from Microsoft to create custom colors ?
BTW...I wish the SDK could be installed on Win7x64, I am not a Win8 fan right now...
I used my Trophy the other day after having the 8X for a few days, I just can't go back... I think I have to sell mine, the screen is just too small and not as pretty
I tried my Trophy again too and understand. I can't switch back. And no news on the sideload limit as that needs reg edit (but haven't thought about Connection Setup; no one is looking as far as I know).
If someone is working on cracking WP8 they are not saying much. It is pretty dead in the hacking section and WPH/Jaxbot isn't doing anything. Waiting....
P.S. If you have to use Win8 much get Stardock's Start8 and Decor8 apps ($5 each). You get a start button back and can set to boot right into the desktop. Decor8 let's you pick custom colors for your tiles and background! Just need a "Decor8" app for WP8.
Has there been ANY rumor or anything on a exploit for Windows Phone 8 ? I have been following every site I know of and I have not seen anything. It's been months and there has been nothing at all.
Are any of the major players even working on this or have they moved on to other phones ? It's normaly a little more when people are looking into it..
There is the problem of this security chip that checks both the kernel and the bootloader for authentic signatures. This chip is "hard coded" and can't be avoided at startup. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to make a rooted windows phone 8 OS boot on these devices. If either the bootloader or the kernel have been tampered with, said chip will restore them (sometimes even with complete device wipe), thus any modifications are very hard to do.
I have no doubt that the chip can be overridden somehow, but there is a long way till there, requires a lot of effort and the benefits are really not that big.

Oh, Crap....Dam, nothing easy huh ? I really hope someone can unlock this to a point, I would like to side load more, yea but, I am more interested in Advanced Config so I could have more colors... sick of the default colors on WP8...
Hello,
the company i work for is going to handle lots of Nokia Windows 8 phones soon. Like over 200 units per day.
What is the best way to distribute apps and do customization on the phone. Over usb cable, wireless or SD card ?
Mostly of the phones are going to resellers.
Is windows intunes the one to use?
Can i install apps without adding a microsoft account on the phone ?
I don't think that is possible without express tools and agreement from MS and Nokia.
I guess this page would be a good starting point for your Research: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/business/for-business
There is a section on phone and app Management in a corporate Environment.
Helo there, i was using this to constantly force HSPA on my phone because on default my Lumia 520 just keep reverting to 2G EDGE which is, as you know very, very slow. Especially in my country.
Code was ##3282# or ##3282 for some phones, but unfortunately i updated it to GDR2 hoping that it will continue to exist. This is very crucial app for a lot of WP users in "banana" republics like Serbia.
I saw there is an Native tost notification launcher. Is there any way that i could launch directly field test from it(honestly i do not know how to get free developer account or how to load apps i am newbie in WP world)?
I would be very, very grateful if anyone could show me at least a glimpse into this...
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english
Its still there AFAIK. The link to the thread is in my signature.

Well that does not answer my questions. In your thread there are codes i mentined before but there is no path specified for cpu's guy tool so i can launch field test.
Those codes you posted no longer work for Lumia 520 after GDR2 update.
Greetings, Stefan
Then you need to download SysApp Pusher from the store. With that app you can check that extras+info is up to date.
EDIT: I'm just going back through the other posts.
To deploy xaps, either need to use a student email account to signup for Dreamspark or just pay $20 or whatever it in your local currency. Both of those gets you a Microsoft Developer account to develop apps and as a side effect, you can add your phone for developer access.
The second thing required is either Windows 7 x64 (If your PC shipped with 4 GB of RAM or more with Windows preinstalled, then its 64bit) or Windows 8 Pro x64 as your OS. Win8Pro is recommended, as the main os, due to Windows 7 not being officially supported for the SDK that has the deployment tool you need.
The third thing that's needed is the Windows Phone 8 SDK (Software Development Kit). It includes a Windows Phone emulator for WP7 and WP8.
The fourth requirement is kinda optional as it depends if you are planning on utilizing the WP8 emulator. The requirement is for your CPU to be SLAT compatible. This is solely due to the WP8 emulator utilizing Hyper-V on Win8.
Finally, you just sign in to the Registration app with your phone plugged in making sure the screen is unlocked first.

Thank you very much!!! I have dreamspark account but i found that i will be able to dev unlock my phone via windowsphone...
However when i launch it is just some pretemplate solution no c# or XAML coding at all... I would not like to use my MSDNAA account because it says that i only got one year to develop and honestly i just started studying IT at faculty and i do not know so much stuff about C#.
Anyways, after i eventually do that how do i launch directly field test from cpu's guy utility? Is there some adress for it?
Yes. use the string from the diagnostic thread and enter 3282 for the dial code portion.
You can get a jump start with their developing for beginners series.
Hey guys, girls, elders, and infants. Got a friend that needs a new phone. She's currently using my old LG Pheonix, but her church requires a family filter and the Phoenix is too old, none of them support it. So. Can anybody recommend a filter for the S4 Active? Or the regular S4, she isn't totally sure which she is gonna get yet. What I'm looking for is a filter that is confirmed working on this device. Thanks All!!!

Usually when a company dictate rules for use of phone the same company also provide the phone. Lock screen pin and encryption has been basic Android features for some years, remote wipe through Exchange account admin or Android Device Manager likewise if device is lost. Content can be synced to Cloud storage and even encrypted there from any Android.
The usage of a service is an agreement based on mutual trust.
Hello,
Registered some time ago, but recently starting lurking and viewing information on this forum. As you guys created a special forum for introductions I decided it would be nice to create a small and brief introduction.
I am an all-time iPhone user looking to expand his horizon and see what's possible on Android. I've never really interacted with it but because of my interest with phones and IT I would love to get started! I didn't buy a phone yet, but I am looking to do so in about 1-2 weeks. It will be a midrange smartphone (budget ~€500) so if you have any recommendations I would love to hear them. I have my eyes on a Samsung Galaxy S21 or S22. That or the newly introduced Sony Experia 10 V.
Hope to learn and share a lot in the future. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!
Cheers!
First thing is some countries have strict lockout functions on their devices. So i would check to see if that applies to limits you may or not have available . IPhone is verry limited to the user and not for someone trying to write or execute code .Though you can install a terminal emulator on iphone , but it wont allow you to do much except view limited lists of whats stored in the device . Execute command higher functions and access to system files are not allowed . Android phones provide alot of options when you want to customize. in 2023 google has been putting limits on what they allow to install from play store. Programs that use SU have been restricted to features and may require going 3rd party to download. Be shure to research everything about the 3rd party before downloading because it's at your own risk .I would strongly recommend getting ProtWal firewall. It helps control alot of app running amuck online that can leak information , drain battery , and slow browsing experience .You need to understand alot about the system apk. and what you install to determine what to , and not block from wifi or data access. Some are providing security and shouldn't be blocked .Next is getting a good anti-virus software like Avast and use the app locker to prevent unauthorized access .If you getting a phone in Android 13 you have a ton of settings and research to do on how to set up you device settings security and what bloatware you wish to disable .It took me a few weeks to discover all the things that can or not be done .If you buy a phone through you mobile carrier it may have some features locked that you can't change unless you paid the device off and services to get an IMIE unlock code to gain access to any carriers you want . Samsung and Google also took alot of liberties with their new devices by forcing updates regardless of the user wishes to accept or not .So if your going into use with SU programming you may want to buy a phone online that has been rooted and unlocked from any carrier again check for trusted sources before buying .One phone thats pretty reasonable priced and waterproof is the s20 fe 5g .It has a hudge amount of memory and supports Micro SD cards decent camera display and nice size screen for viewing. Still it can fit into a pocket .Otter case also provides excellent protection against dropping and never had one break yet ...Hope this helps ...Happy hunting
