Bypassing Android market restriction ?

Hi.
I heard from someone that there is an app that enables a danish Magic to fully access the android market thereby bypassing the region restriction. Is that true?
I´ve done a search. Nothing found.

yes, google for marketenabler

Thanks. Cheers.

You must root your phone for that to work.

I´ve just rooted the phone and the enabler tells me that everything is ok. But I still only get the free apps in market..
How do I check to see it my phone really is rooted? Might be that I´ve messed up ?

Did you remember to kill your market process and clear its cache before trying to go in again?

Did it and it works.. thanks..

I've been having problems with this app. My phone IS rooted yet whenever I try to choose a source in the list I get the "we got a problem houston " error message! Can someone please help?
BTW, I'm a Rogers customer.

Could you explain your steps to me? No matter what version I try, I ALWAYS get the "we got a problem Houston " error message. This is what I did:
Downloaded MarketEnabler_v3.0.1-beta.apk
Put it in C:\AndroidSDK\
Opened cmd from run
Went to C:\AndroidSDK\
adb install MarketEnabler_v3.0.1-beta.apk
Completed successfully
Went to applications in my Magic and force stopped Market as well as cleared the cache
Opened Market Enabler and tried the German source
Error message comes up!
Thanks for the help
And yes, my phone IS rooted.
EDIT: Didn't have Superuser installed! It works fine now although ATM it doesn't show any paid apps...

step 3 is enabling debug mode, so i dont know what you could have typed wrong.
point 6 is just to open a command prompt. have you tried with the Command Prompt icon in Windows?

You can try to use the method ekindangen is showing in this thread:
[ROM] Change the perfected SPL HBOOT 1.33.0010 to 1.33.0009
And after that you can choose to use flashrec to get recovery-RAv1.2.1H.img on your device or just use adb fastboot method. And then flash the rom you desire into your mobile.
But before you do so please confirm that you got a 32A with the perfect SPL 1.33.0010 for your own sake You should have, and method worked for me and was really easy!

[Q] Rooting HTC Desire C

Hi there,
I've been searching forums and web pages for days now to find a guide to rooting the HTC Desire C. There is no sub-forum for this phone and I've only been able to find about 4 small threads on this device so I'm posting here. I have some dev knowledge but, nothing to do with mobile devices so excuse my ignorance if you can.
I've tried superOneClick and z4root to no avail. Didn't think it would be this tricky to find a way to root the phone. If any one can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful or if they can, maybe you know a decent guide to explaining how root access is obtained so I can try it myself(if possible).
Thanks for any information.

On MoDaCo, there seems to be a method to root the Desire C. See http://www.modaco.com/topic/355158-r1-superboot-how-to-root-the-htc-desire-c/

Thanks a lot. That guide did the job.

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------
Im a completed noob!!! I've registered with HTC dev to get the unlock code for my desire c but cant get my cmd to understand what I'm trying to do! I'm using my laptop which runs windows 7. Each time I type the comand 'Android>...' & press enter I just get the message 'don't recognise Android as an internal or external drive' ... please please please help!! ... again I must stress I'm a very very noob who don't know much so any help is very welcome... ta

@rob# I have gone through this process, so I know it works! When you are in the command prompt window you must change directory to where you have saved the files so for example if you saved them in a directory 'c:\android' and your command prompt is 'c:\username\whatever' then your command should be 'cd \android' then the instructions should work.....

:fingers-crossed:Thanks bobmcann, brilliant advice & that bit worked fine... but then I did something else wrong!!! I completed all the unlock bit via the cmd screen, got my e-mail message from htc to tell me what to do next & then my power failed on my pc! I've since tried to redo everything the HTC dev page says but when I try to generate another unlock code everything just hangs & nothing happens for about 15 mins, then I get bored, disconnect everything & turn off my pc/phone... what am I doing wrong now!!?!! is there an easy way to fix this or have I screwed everything up? Please help me (again! - I will get better at this I promise) - thanks

@rob# you removed the device while trying to install a root or unlocking ur bootloader, tbh am supprized it isnt fully bricked, try reinstalling everything from the start

The rooting method works, but is there any unroot procedure?

After having the desire successfully connected and starting the bat-file I always get the following error message: "booting....failed <remote: not allowed>". What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I have problems with Android 1.0 driver. It doesnt works so I cant root the phone. How can I solved this problem? Where I can find driver? Thanks for replys.

I used the guide posted on modaco and it worked fine for me. Posting some screenshots or a more detailed explanation of what you're typing and what you're seeing would allow people to help figure out why you're having issues.

You have to follow the instructions very closely on the HTCdev website -- make sure you have all the software they ask for including:
Android SDK Tools
HTC Sync Manager
Java Runtime
All three of these are at the upper right corner of the first page of instructions. Once you've downloaded the HTC Sync Manager, an OS reboot should then fix it. When you connect your phone the driver should self-install.

Unlock Samsung Ativ S

Hello, I would like to do this unlock on my Ativ S.
Now I'm in the following condition:
Software: Windows Phone8
OS Version: 8.0.10327.77
Firmware revision number: 2424.13.5.1
Number Hardware Revision: 15:15:10
Radio software version: 2424.13.5.1
Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.800
Bootloader Version: 13.04.19.21
Processor SOC Version: 1.5.32
How should I preocedere order to unlock it?
thanks

You don't specify any particular unlock you want to do, so I'm going to assume interop-unlock + capability unlock. If that's not right, try actually saying which one you mean instead of using a pronoun (this) without any antecedent.
Your phone is slightly out of date (GDR2) but that may actually be a good thing anyhow.
First, dev-unlock. You will need the Windows Phone Development Registration tool, which is included in the WP8 SDK, which is available free from Microsoft.
Then, install the Interop Unlock Helper app (there is a link to it in my signature, if for some reason your search is broken...) using the Application Deployment tool (also installed with the SDK).
Run the helper app and follow its instructions...

Thanks for the reply, so the first thing to do is to install Win8 on my notebook (I have Win7)
After installing Win8 with its SDK, can I ask for help on the procedure yet?

There's a modified version of the WP8 SDK that runs on Win7. The emulator doesn't work (it requires Hyper-V, which Win7 doesn't have) but otherwise works fine.
I really told you pretty much the entire procedure. The helper app will guide you though the rest step-by-step; you just need to get as far as installing it.

Thank you, I have sought guidance on the matter.
Would this procedure?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2422751
Can you give me an OK before beginning to drain in the SDK?

You can use Arnold Vink's MiniSDK instead of downloading the whole iso. You can find it in the stickied FAQ. Its actually starting to be pretty comprehensive, covering almost every little subject along the way.

I installed the SDK8 on win7.
Now what should I do?
Where can I find the files Interop Unlock Helper app?
It would be this: EnableAllSideloading_Release_ARM.xap
Thanks

... did you even *TRY* reading the guide linked in my signature? There's a step-by-step in there of which apps to install (with links!) at what times...

I have read the guide but I have not found the link to the helper
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2435697
Searching on google I found this which I think is fine too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434884

... that second link you posted is included in the first link (under "Guide for Samsung's ATIV phones"), along with a direct link to the .XAP as well. But hey, you managed to find it eventually (through the mechanism that you should have used in the first place). I guess I should have specified "there's a link that contains a link to the XAP in my signature" but I figured you'd be able to get there yourself.

Yes, because I took the file (Interop Unlock Helper app)
Do you think I should first upgrade to GDR3 and then proceed with the interop unlock or better to do it in a situation where I am (GDR2)?

... I'm trying to decide whether I should stop spoon-feeding you answers or just go on and hope eventually you'll run out of them.
There are a bunch of forum threads about GDR3 and interop-unlock. Short version: installing the Samsung update that comes with retail GDR3 will prevent interop-unlock. There are ways around it, which you should read up on as well because, while it doesn't re-lock your phone, it *does* make interop-unlock much less useful too.

I followed the steps and I completed the interop unlock but when I try to install the xap BootstrapSamsung app:
Status Error: 0x81030120
I have not updated in the GDR, are in the same terms as the POST1
How can I fix?
Thanks

You either didn't actually interop-unlock at all, or you didn't do the part of the process that prevents re-locking. That error code means you are still interop-locked. You need to change several registry values, not just one. This is in the helper app, unless you're running a *very* old version.

They are divided by 0 and I was able to complete the procedure!
I tried to install xap files but I get this error:
"Error - Deployment Optimization failed with error "Unable to read input file". Please Ensure that input XAP is not optimized for device already".

Xap from Market ?

Try this video. It is german, but you'll know what to do.

[Q] Diagnosis error

Hei guys can somebody help me?I'm using the guide to interop unlock samsung ativ s but when i click toast notification i remain with this.(see on photos)
And i can't acces registry editor.How can i acces registry?
The phone is dev unlocked with official GDR3.

Try this

I'm gonna give this a try but how can I acces phone/data?Its seems to not appear on computer.

*Sigh*
Reading. You should try it sometime, before trying to run hacks you don't understand.
Tell me: What does the second line (you know the one with bold text tell you you're doing wrong?
@sp4rt4n-i17: The problem isn't that his RPC is blocked (although it is), it's that Samsung removed the registry editor from the version of Diagnosis built into their latest firmware. I'm pretty sure that if Diag has been installed *prior* to the update it would work, but it seems that this is not the case here.
You need to either downgrade, or install one of the "custom ROMs" that just make the relevant changes. Check the Dev&Hacking sub-forum.

LUMIA 925 ROOTED - Customization possibilities

Hello there,
I have questions about my rooted Lumia 925.
I bought it used, with the latest Firmware. Then I loaded up the correct Firmware with Windows Device Recovery Tool, then I unlocked the bootloader, and now I have root access.
I wanted to load up Win10, I haven't made yet, as my phone works fine.
My very 1st question is: IF I'll be successfull with the OS-update, will I lose the root access later on?
I know I could flash the phone back to Win 8.1 but actually the very annoying part is to customize again the device.
Moreover I have a huge problem with "Back-up" built-in function of my WinPhone. I NEVER had a successful back-up of app, settings and SMS... Fortunately my contatcs are secured as they are synced with my account, but that's all.
This bring me to the 2nd question:
ANYONE HAS N IDEA HOW TO FIX THE BACKUP PROBLEM?! ... my phone backs-up pictures and Video on OneDrive BUT NOT the Apps and Settings and SMS...
I got this idea: since I have no chance to back-up my data and settings, what IF make a Back-up of all partitions let's say once a week, following this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-lumia-520/development/make-backup-windows-phoneguide-t3628612 or using WPInternals, do I keep my contatcs/sms/settings/apps and so on ?!?
Anyone can confirm this ?
3rd question concerns UPDATE.
since i loaded the firmware 3051.50009.1424.0010 I keep getting this annoying message "there is a critical update, do you want to download it?" If I press on "agree" the phone gets the Firmware 3051.50009.1451.1011 . Then I lose all superuser rights... I tested it.
Is there a way to DISABLE the update completely? Like on Windows Desktop ?!?!
I have to say I got lucky here.
WPINTERNALS warns :
Updating your phone
After you unlocked the bootloader or enabled Root Access, you MUST disable Windows Updates on your phone. Future updates may corrupt the SecureBoot modifications and your phone may not boot anymore.
After you unlocked the bootloader or enabled Root Access, you can only update your Windows Phone by flashing a new Custom ROM which is based on the latest OS version.
Well I did this:
With "ROOT ACCESS ACTIVED" I pressed on agree to get the critical update. The updated failed. The Package has been downloaded but could not be applied (ERROR 800..... don't remember the error-code)
With "ROOT ACCESS DISABLED" the update has been made w/o errors.. and I had for a while the 3051.50009.1451.1011 ... no bootloader corruption !!! , then switched back to 3051.50009.1424.0010 to keep root access.
BUT can I get rid completely of this annoying message about the UPDATE !??!?! I do not want to challenge my luck again.
OR can I block completely the Win-Update process ?!?
OR can I force the phone to check on 127.0.0.1 instead of checking the Microsoft servers thorugh a registry modification?!?
OR could I modify the HOST file instead !? If I would know the server name, I could try to limit the contact by adding 1 line to the HOST file, something like: 127.0.0.1 windowsupdate.microsoft.com !?
Would this work!?
3rd question: I searched long about this... it seems nobody knows... well I try and ask it directly: is there any way to change the GUI ?
I want to know IF / HOW throug registry
1) I can change the tiles fill-colors using custom HEX or RGB format,
2) I can tiles outline/symbols color instead of using the annoying WHITE using HEX or RGB values.. (my idea is to make a "total-black" GUI with darkgrey symbols... )
3) If I can change phone FONTS (dream)
4th question:
My phone is branded Vodafone (as it has 32GB memory) I would like to unbrand it and use the nice computer Boor Screen "Energy Star" . I read I have to make actually a Custom-ROM since the splash-screen is part of the firmware. OK. So following WPINTERNALS, I can select a source FFU-file and extract the EFIESP partition and MainOS partition.
WPINTERNALS says: "You can enable Root Access on these partitions"
Well HOW?
If they are not on the phone how can I enable the root access and how can can I customize MainOS if it is on my Desktop Hard-Drive ?!?
I'm sure I do need another tool for that... Any hint for me please?! Anybody?
Then ok... "After you have unlocked the bootloader of the phone, you can flash the custom ROM to the phone". that's easy.
Last question, just curiosity: is there a SHELL in Win 8.1 mobile ?!
It wuold be nice to have sometime a hack-library divided by phone sometime.... hope that XDA mods will think about it.
With WPINTERNALS for WinPhones there is a fully new world to discover.
Thanks everyone for your answers.
In case you decide to reply, please be kind... since I cannot read your mind nor I have any "palantir" nor divination skills, try to explain things esaly.... e.g. as you would explain them to your dog.... :good:

Have unlocked bootloader and rooted old Nokia lumia 925 through WPINTERNALS... As I did not have many apps or games on it I would like to install some but now am stuck for how to get apps to phone or even is there a custom rom I can flash to it?...any help please..
PS: Phone is on windows 8.1 CYAN, I have made a full backup to pc with WPINTERNALS just in case anything goes wrong/
PS:-All fixed now and can now deploy xap
