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

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Your phone is slightly out of date (GDR2) but that may actually be a good thing anyhow.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?

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.

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.

Damn I just realised that that was the highlight of my day.

I'm getting this error 0x81030120 when trying to install some xap file on my ativ s ...
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
The file I'm trying to install and SamWP8_Tools_Debug_ARM to put more row of tiles as shown in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46648881&postcount=74&nocache=1&z=7979668455664068.
Please search before posting!
That error code is well known as the one for interop-lock. You need to interop-unlock your phone, and probably then also capability-unlock, before you can install high-privilege homebrew. If you think you already interop-unlocked, you either didn't do it correctly or you missed the step of preventing the re-lock.
I got the Interop Unlock ... I had skipped some steps, everything worked out now ...
thank you...i'm sorry for bad english
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.

Hello,
I ordered the Lumia 635 as a dev phone during the black friday Microsoft Store deal. I've only recently considered getting it on a network (I was going to use it on wifi only). My issue is I'm on Tmobile, and the phone is for AT&T.
Can the phone be unlocked easily? Can I do a rom flash to the Tmobile firmware?
I'm a long time Android dev so I'm versed in most rom operations (Tmobile G1, Mytouch 4G, Viewsonic Gtablet, and now a Note 3). What can be done here?

You can flash to the tmobile firmware but that will not unlock your phone.. You will need to either pay for an unlock code or call tmobile support and have them unlock the phone for free. Once again flashing the phone to a tmobile firmware will not unlock the phone. It will still need an att sim card for data unless using wifi only. To flash the phone anyway please visit this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515453
Got it reversed
Hi Baked!
I think you got the direction reversed. I have an AT&T phone I want to use on Tmobile. I did just get the unlock code. It took a bit of searching but I found a service that did it for $25. I'm not going to repost the service as I'm not sure how xda feels about that. For those of you who are looking for this look for a service outside of the US who lists prices in pounds.
Where do I get the rom and tools to install them? I'm having difficulty finding them. Unlike android where this is all well documented there does not seem to be a great resource for this.

I have been using android for a while and windows phone can be kind of confusing in terms of roms and such. The link i posted before contains links to programs that will allow you to download a t mobile rom for your phone. Sorry for not responding in a timely matter. If you want to begin flashing you must first follow these steps on in that link. After you click that link scroll down until you see PREREQUISITES

Can I flash any other roms on this model?
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
