Fingers crossed I have this in the right spot or I'm going to scream.
So on windowsphonehub.in they have a tutorial to dev unlock and load .xap files your Windows Phone 8/8.1 without all the complicated stuff and for $99 cheaper haha.
Now I follow the instructions as exact until the part where it requires Windows Phone Power Tools. Seems like it shouldn't be a problem until I realized that with the latest version of it, I need Microsoft Visual Studio to actually install WP PT. But in the tutorial it doesn't say any extra software is needed except for WP PT 2.5.5
I did a google search yesterday and I can't find an archived version of it to actually see if this works. The site that it's hosted on by the devs of it only have the latest version and everywhere else just links me to it.
So I was wondering if anyone had any idea where I could get a copy of WP PT 2.5.5 or should I give up on this?
Hello,
you really want 10 max deployable xap/appx, or is enough 3 (max)?

Has anyone managed to successfully run any apps that needs 'embedded Visual Runtime Basic'
I downloaded it from MS and loaded it to the tytn II and then loaded the app which appears to install successfully, but when i launch the app i just get 2 loading (spinning) icons then nothing.
the app i want to run is GPS DIS pro 3.4 which needs VB runtime files to work.
I had the same problem on the HTC P300i also.
Any tips/help is appreciated.
I have a evb program on my tilt that I wrote a couple years back and it runs just fine. Im not familiar with that program so I cant really help you with it but you can definately run evb programs on the tilt/kaiser/tytn II.
Thanks Ren13B,
which VB Runtime file did you load? (link please)
I tried another app that needed VB Runtime also but that wouldnt load also.
ps. are you driving an R100?
Sorry I dont remember where I got it. I just did a google search for it because the link they give you if you dont have it installed is now dead. Doing a quick search now pulls up http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/evb.aspx which should provide you with what you need. That page states the runtime is no longer supported on anything past Pocket PC 2003 so that might be your problem.
I drive a RX-8 right now. Renesis13B
Thanks Ren13B,
That is the link that i used already. I had some other posts that indicated that it should be installed on the device and not the storage card, which i have done.
Some others like yourself have indicated that they have gotten it running in WM6, but none of my 2 apps being GPS DIS pro3.4 and Geoapps GPS Stealth 1.00.
Could you try them and let me know if you can get them to run?
Cheers!
PS. Ever thought about dropping in a 20B???
Sure, I can try them. Can you post links for them or pm the links if they arent free apps?
I had a 2nd gen RX7 that I wanted to put a 20B in but it was too costly at the time. Im keeping the RX8 relatively stock for now. Cant afford to have car troubles these days.
Nevermind..i found a trial version. Trying it now.
Doesnt run on mine either. I get the same two spinning icons and nothing else happens.
try a soft reset,
when i did that i got a tad further. (to the point where it tells me that i have used X number of 15 tries.
Thanks
To some, this might seem worthless to look into but, I have searched this possiblity and I haven't been able to get any results that help.
What I am trying to do is take a program that I had on my Xperia WM device and get it to run on the Nexus One.
To run the program(in WM), there is a folder that you drop into the root of your SD card and then create a shortcut to the .exe file which, on WM, goes in your start menu.
( I mentioned the above to explain that it is not installed by a .cab file, if it helps any)
Anyone know if it is possible to run this program on Android?
Thank you all in advance for your time
not possible and I doubt there are any virtualization options on android. you are out of luck my friend.
Someone would have to port Wine to Android.
What program are you talking about? Maybe there already is a similar one for Android.
Not just a regular version of wine, but a windows ce version
Would be cool but I don't see it happening anytime soon
I don't see it happening ever. Microsoft is already ditching WM for the WP7S and I doubt anyone cares enough to work on such an app.
Short answer: No.
However, if it was made with .NET and Koush finishes the Mono port then there is a chance that the base functionality can be abstracted and an Android version could more or less be easily created. But that's a lot of "if"s going on and someone would still be taking the time to port any UI layers.
Moved to Q&A
Hey guys, its been while....from the BA :angel: days. I think I have 15 of those things laying around!
Anyone have a solution :fingers-crossed: yet for the XAP Encryption that M$ turned on back here...
The threads have been either deleted or moved!!!
I have the HD2O_2.02_8779 and Pdaimatejam Rom 7.10.8779.8 v8.1 roms loaded on 2 different HD2's. And I cannot load any xap's on either. W.I.N.C.O. fails, Bazaar fails, my own ftp site fails....any xap I try fails.
If no solution is out there yet, how is everyone sideloading xap's? Or aren't you side loading....??
Is the only solution then as of September 7, 2012, to contact M$ and get a code??
Thanks ppl and keep up the good work. :good:
yes, is exist new way to avoid new encryption but is forbidden to talk about piracy on XDA, that is reason way all topic is deleted...
contacting Microsoft and getting Live activation code is unnecessary to have Live services and working marketplace on HD2
Thank you dxdy. Understandable
I still have an issue with free apps. Maybe I'm just not understanding the issue here.
If I use the W.I.N.C.O. app on either my phone or the desktop version to search and download the following free xap, I can see the xap in its perspective filder but when I try to install it, I get an error. "error while opening file"
If I search on the phone using W.I.N.C.O. and find the same free app and try to install it through W.I.N.C.O. I get the error 'not supported for this OS'
Can someone shed some light?? dxdy?
Thanks to all of the dev peeps!
you cant use old tools anymore....
for free stuff from Marketplace activate Live services with Live activation code (ask Microsoft support for it, if you dont know how look in my tutorial from signature)
for other's look in PM....
I'm new on WP7. Can I also get a PM about these methods for "other" apps?

method to decrypt files from marketplace
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34246750&postcount=3
I've been searching for .XAP decompiler/disAssembler (to do reverse engineer) for phone 8 xap files. I've seen that the new .xap files are not longer simple .zip/.rar files. They have something more.
In short I'm asking something similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443692 for phone 8 . Does anyone know any (free) tool which can help me out ?
Could you please attache XAP? I'll investigate it.
Sure
Please see the attachment.
It appears MS have encrypted XAPs now - this has a PlayReady DRM header:
Code:
<WRMHEADER xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/DRM/2007/03/PlayReadyHeader" version="4.0.0.0"><DATA><PROTECTINFO><KEYLEN>16</KEYLEN><ALGID>AESCTR</ALGID></PROTECTINFO><KID>w3i0edJP7EOqQ6aQzdAoSQ==</KID><LA_URL>http://microsoft.com/</LA_URL><CUSTOMATTRIBUTES xmlns=""><S>9FcV5qmfIsMc+X2MVmX3Hw==</S><KGV>0</KGV></CUSTOMATTRIBUTES><CHECKSUM>Hu3+fizBvKU=</CHECKSUM></DATA></WRMHEADER>
So, does it mean I'll never be able to decompile any .xap ?
XAPs downloaded from the Marketplace are encrypted starting sometime in summer last year. That was also the time when devices that had not installed the WP7.5 update lost access to the Marketplace.
So unless you know the decryption key no: you won't be able to decompile XAP files downloaded from the Marketplace. As for XAPs you get from a Dev directly or created yourself - those should still be in the same ZIP-Format as before.
if we get admin access on the phone we can make the phone to decompile it for us and then make an unencrypted version of the .xap

Does anybody developed some hack to see content of .xap files which are from market place ? if yes, where can I get it ?

And how can I get admin permission on my phone win 8 phone ? In other words, is it possible to get admin permission on win 8 mobile ?
@shek007
WP8 is much more secure than WP7. So it will take much time or never to hack the OS.
Regarding the xap decompile, it seems you are insisting on 'hacking'. That is a bad behaviour, trying to steal other's logic/data If it's your's or friend's .xap, then you'll get access to the code. Otherwise you have no right to decompile the code if it's not yours or the others didn't provide you access.
Anyway, you got the answer back then: no, it won't work.

1. No one knows what "win 8 phone" and "win 8 mobile" are. Never heard of those.
2. Go somewhere else to discuss theft.
narrowing the subject to "theft" is not appropriate as when one wants to make out the most of some applications.
Examples are: Decompile the Field Test app from nokia to see the internal API calls to the radio module in order to obtain RF related data, such as cell ID, MCC+MNC, Ec/Lo etc..
using this API calls we can make Apps for RF field engineers to test the network performance and signal levels using the Lumia phone.
This functionality is well known on others smartphones but lacking in Windows Phone platform so far.
Another example will be using multiple whatsapp accounts in the same phone ( another functionality from other mobile platform missing in WP)
As far as I understood the security architecture not just any App would be able to access those APIs even if it knew about them. It requires special permissions and I would guess that at the moment those are not available with a regular Developer Unlock.
As for decrypting the file or gaining access to the phone and extracting the data from there: WP8 security has not yet been broken. There might be people working on it but for now we know of no way to do it.

this guys does exactly what the OP asked. If m wrong then please correct me

1. Yes. No one knows what win 8 phone is.
That is why YOU are on this forum thread., because is called just like that. "Windows Phone 8" looks similar to windows 8 phone. Or not.
2. " Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking>> Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" is the name of this thread. So, where else could discuss hacking windows 8 apps.
You just needed to post something.
I just needed to reply (two years later), so I joined to forum. :laugh:
BTW are there any new tools for decompile xap files?
Please don't necropost!
Posting here rather in a PM in the hopes that others will see and remember...
You just posted in a 22-month-inactive thread. This violates a near-universal guideline (sometimes rule) of online forums: do not post in dead threads (common called "necroposting"). Your post added nothing of value and effectively constitutes spam, as it brings a thoroughly outdated thread to the top of the forum list. It's much better to create a new thread (linking the old one, if you feel that will help) as then people who read earlier posts in the thread but don't notice the datestamps won't be seeing stuff that is years out of date.
While I agree that the person you responded to was being needlessly pedantic, it does seriously annoy some members of the community to have people screw up the name of the OS. Win8 and WP8 have about as much in common as Mac OS X and iOS; that doesn't mean it's reasonable to say an iPhone runs "Phone OS X". The fact that there existed a legacy (and *very* different) OS called Windows Mobile (or WinMo), and that people routinely seem to think that WP is just the continuation of WinMo (it's really, really not), is a large part of why some folks stomp on people who use the wrong name for the OS.
Decompiling apps is easy. Breaking PlayReady DRM is really, really hard. There's no decompiler anywhere I know of that can take a DRMed XAP and decompile it. You'll have to get the app without DRM encryption if you want to decompile it.
PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY MORE IN THIS THREAD!
EDIT: I have found some apps at the link in post #2, but only XAP-apps, not APPX-apps like StoryTeller.
I am testing WM 10 TP on a Nokia 1020. I did a hard reset yesterday just to discover I could not longer install the Lumia apps (Refocus, Storyteller etc.) that MS discontinued earlier. Sysapp Pusher does not help.
My device is interop unlocked and I am able to deploy "unlocked" XAP-files.
The problem is that I can only find decrypted files for the Lumia apps.
Even though these are free apps I guess it's not allowed to discuss how to decrypt or "unlock" the XAP-files.
So I would be very thankful if someone has an idea how to get the apps back even if it means reverting back to 8.1.
(BTW It's unbelievable stupid of MS to pull some of the few unique and really useful apps before having any replacements.)
check some here

Thanks,
I realize now that there is a Windows 10 Mobile forum here, I just didn't see it in the forum overview. So this question is kind of missplaced.
I have now found some of the apps I was looking for but only those that are XAP-apps. Do anyone know if it is possible to backup APPX-apps from the phone and reinstall them after a hard reset?
