[Q] Ativ S - Interop unlock without developer account - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I am completely new in this forum. I have recently bought a Samsung Ativ S and I want to interop unlock it now!
I have read a tutorial for this, but i would need a developer account, which is not free.
Is there any other way to unlock it?
Thanks

Follow the FAQ in my sig. You need to install the WP8SDK and login to the Developer Unlock Tool, any your device will be developer unlocked. (You can do it for free, but you can only deploy two apps; except after its interop-unlocked, you can install as many as you want.) Then you need to deploy the two files for Interop Unlocking

Yes, i've already tried this method, but when i open the XAP Deployment tool, it shows me an error "exception of hresult:numbers here"

You need to actually complete the interop-unlock process first (the helper app from WOLF + the Diagnosis app) before you can sideload the other homebrew / unlocking apps. Make sure you have the current version, which includes a step to prevent the phone from re-locking itself.

developer unlock to full interop unlock ? possible after Tango ?

I've been running around in circles for hours, is it possible to go from a developer unlock to a full interop unlock -after- having updated to Tango 7.10.8773.98 ? I can load some XAP's, but root tools and wintt fail.
I had to format my PC and lost my backup.
I'm sort of in the same boat as you. I will be going to my local at&t device support center and getting my phone flashed. I'm hoping the guy there can use the oldest rom he has and or give me a copy of it. I'll post results.

no is the short answer if you have already got the newer firmware, the Windows build has little to do with it,although the tango builds do phone home to relock but that can be prevented
dev unlock is not interop unlock, which is needed to access high privileged functions
if you didn't update the firmware but you did let it relock then simply reapply the unlock and then apply the relock prevent xap, but I suspect you have already tried that suggesting you have the new firmware as well

perhaps ATT will flash the older ROM, I doubt it though and I doubt it even less that they would give you a flashable copy
but stranger things have happened so lets (hope) wait and see
Not what I really wanted to hear, but that's about what I figured/expected. I can't imagine going into AT&T & finding someone who had a clue about re-flashing a WP device.

i managed to start the HTC interop unlock !!!! and now ? what is the next step ????
what can or must i do to unlock this phone ?????
Windows Phone 8 can install xap's, this does not mean it can run or start them if they require interop unlock. Currently interop unlock is not possible.
pffft...finally got this (allmost) working...
it doesn't lett me in several of these folders....
working on it...i will update later...
You can change any value by Registry Editor and save ? (or not - I think so not)
For check you can try to install an application that needs access to the root eg: Shutdown: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21751650&postcount=1
You can install app but not run (when tap, app is back to the apps list).

i will help you if you need testers, i am just begginer i can not help you to develop.
wp7mktplace cant sign these apps anymore
try other things or already signed homebrew apps
It possible to call all funcs from system dlls. But a lot of funcs returned Access_denied.
How about we all save some time and stop trying this silly idea, huh?
The interop unlock you're trying to install was for older HTC WP7 devices. It doesn't work on newer devices, and it certainly won't work on WP8 devices. The apps won't work for two reasons:
-Your device isn't interop unlocked
-The binaries are compiled for WP7, not WP8. Not even simple innocent apps like Orientation Lock run under WP8, because they aren't compiled correctly for WP8, nor do they use the correct APIs.
What should be encouraged, however, is an evaluation of the OEM apps on the device, to see if any have exploitable holes. I'm guessing that HTC has learned its lesson by now, but hey, worth trying.
Also, I'm curious to see if this XAP will do anything if sideloaded. I'm guessing no, as it won't have interop privileges, but I'm still curious to see what happens.

I'm with you, trust me I want the same thing... I have a edu Dev account and I am sick of the 3 app limit, never mind the lack of custom colors (Advanced Config), It seems a interop unlock for my 8X would be the only thing I need now to enjoy it more.
As long as these apps will work with a 8X of course

I test this method in devices unlocked by a code that I bought in libertyunlock.com, the unlock it's permanent, the tethering otherwise I don't really know if you will losing it, because the devices that I updated don't have a jailbreak and by this method (unlocking by code) you need the At&t tethering plan to tether. I presume that making an update in a device jailbreaked you will losing it at the time your firmware change...
Sorry for not be more useful Greg
I can however help a bit more
upgrading to 7.8 will not permanently lock your device, it will however attempt to relock its self once its installed, this can be stopped by either applying the relock prevent xap again or by applying the unlock again
if you update the firmware then all is not lost, you can stil unlock or remain unlocked as mentioned above, if you hard reset though you will not be able to apply the dev unlock as you had originally done
course this is all academic now that all 2nd gen samsungs can be unlocked regardless of their firmware, search around the WP7 forum for the answers, it is harder than the original unlock by beggar's cant be choosers

Any idea on how to push an update and what the updates actually fix? I'm at 2102.11.10.1 on AT&T US, but on 7.8
The only noticeable thing I found was the keyboard lag was gone, I'm sure there is more but that was the only big difference I saw

i purchased a Focus S, and when i got it it was still locked. plus it seems to be in a demo-content mode. i would like to knwo why is this? plus i realised it couldnt update it via Zune, so i dloaded a program that allowed me to do so. now its running 7.8 but its still in the demos content mode. where it resets every 12hours or so.
is it possible to turn off this mode, or was i duped?

Good question, what is your OS and firmware version?
Demo mode suggests that its not a retail model, it may be lacking features.
however, if you are running exactly the same OS and firmware version then perhaps we can compare and find out what is making it restart. I suspect that its different versions though

Interop
This worked flawlessly on the first try for me.
one problem though (or question)...
i was attempting to do an interop unlock, however i forced another backup not realizing that the original 7.5 backup would have been overwritten...
since i'm now faced with the samsung wireless manager apn list being empty issue, how do i go about getting the software downgraded without the backup or getting the interop unlock without the samsung wireless manager blocking the entire process?

that's the one, I don't understand why your not able to change the APN, the wireless manager is still on the market place
the process of the V3 unlock adds the correct settings to the APN settings, so if you had problems before on the older update process, you should try the new one anyway

Problem unlocking bootloader

There are couple of ways to unlock the bootloader, but neither of them seems to work. At least that's what have happened to many of us (including me).
Sending email is one of the way, but they never reply. The other is by visiting their website, but don't know why it displays this message
"The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days."
So are there any other ways to get the unlock code..
Thank you..

For some reason the chinese website does not have the 14 day wait period. I did this and only had my phone for 1 day before I unlocked it.
Also stay away from King Root, it may seem like it unlocks the bootloader, but does it really? Search this forum for people who have had no end of problems with it after using it.

are you ttying to log in with facebook or regular registration?
If you are trying via facebook, you must first login on facebook.
Furthermore, the site, provides you a captcha and you must be cautious, cause it pops up a window in chinese with two options, that cannot be translated, and if I am not mistaken you choose the one on the right.
Edit: just found out that I used the link descriped here to get the code for unlocking the bootloader. Try again and you will make it. it is very easy.

sorry for the delay.
It is correct. use web translation and go ahead and choose "brush unlock".
It will redirect you, in order to sign up. Then log in and on the upper right corner choose "EN" and then you can get the code by choosing the "unlock bootloader" option.
it does not help, log onto old, created a new, all on the Chinese version of the page, and always the same

Unlocking questions

Hi everyone,
I'm having problems with the unlock page. After a bunch of searches, I just have more questiions.
1) It keeps saying 'Please input correct name'.
I can log into the forums - my username is wanfr01.
I'm fairly sure that's the name I'm supposed to use on the unlock application page.
Any idea what the problem is?
2) Is there a place to e-mail/post for an unlock request if the main unlock page isn't working?
3) Anything in particular I should give as a reason, or shouldn't give? Can I just say I want to install TWRP to make backups? (which is basically true)
- Frank

I thought mine was locked but someone mentioned the phones come unlocked if you buy from a retailer so YMMV.
Try using your phone # (11231234567) then on the left of it change the number to 1 if you're in the USA or your country code and delete the 1. Or, use your name without any spaces. Another trick is to login to the forums and then go to the unlock site. http://en.miui.com/unlock/

Hi everyone,
I'm having problems with the unlock page. After a bunch of searches, I just have more questiions.
1) It keeps saying 'Please input correct name'.
I can log into the forums - my username is wanfr01.
I'm fairly sure that's the name I'm supposed to use on the unlock application page.
Any idea what the problem is?
2) Is there a place to e-mail/post for an unlock request if the main unlock page isn't working?
3) Anything in particular I should give as a reason, or shouldn't give? Can I just say I want to install TWRP to make backups? (which is basically true)

By your numbers...
1) I was also confused by that field for name. Tried my name and tried Mi Mix ... don't recall which worked but just tired a few times and it eventually worked. It may be one of those page has the refresh on any 'mistake' things so try that.
2) Xiaomi mentions where to post if you don't get the code in X days, if it keeps acting up for you try that.
3) I put 'so I can root phone and customize to my liking' and was approved. No idea if there is a check on this.

Actually, I don't have the phone yet. It's on the way.
I could have swore some people on xda got their unlock "permission" prior to receiving their phone.
Since it can take a bit to get the unlock permission, I thought I would get the ball rolling.
I guess I'm wrong - I'll just wait to get the phone. Hopefully it's unlocked already.
Thanks!

If your phone has a vendor installed ROM then it's unlocked. Did you select or was there an option to have Play Store installed for you by the vendor you bought it from.

I had problems with the name ended up just putting first name in and it worked, although not for mix.
