VEVO xap for sideloading? - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have the vevo xap for sideloading? I don't want to lose the app when I change phones or do a factory reset :'(
sent from my denim licious orange nokia 930

Does it even still work? Sounded like they were dropping support for it, not merely de-listing the app.
Not that it would surprise me if it does; I never installed it in the first place so I can't check.

It still works
Everyone advises to just not uninstall it from your phone but what happens if I need to do a hard reset or when I buy my next device?Someone has to have an unsigned xap. I asked Rafael on twitter but because its such public forum he didn't respond but he sometimes drops xaps that are able to side load kong after they're gone
So does anyone have the vevo xap?

i have the xap
@GoodDayToDie if I email it to you can you crack it?

If it's pulled right off the phone, sure; that's a really simple change.
If it's pulled off the store (DRM encrypted) then no, that's an excruciatingly complex wall of nonsense.

ok here it is

the xap posted cant be patched.
only one from the phone can be patched.

does anyone else have the app on their phone?
If you have the app on you phone will you please patch it? I'll even donate!

ok the app is on my phone can i patch it? also i have an old patched xap too
@ceesheim @GoodDayToDie @thals1992
ok I have the app on 2 of my phones an HTC 8X and a nokia 930, I read a tutorial to patch an xap but you need a phone with an sd card, is that the way to get the app off my phone, but neither have sd card slots, with that being said is there still a way to patch the app that's on these phones? I am also uploading an old wp7 version of the vevo app that I downloaded off of winphonhub, its patched and works fairly well with occasional error message, can this patched xap help you patch a more current one?
also id like to add I have 2 windows phones 635 and 830 with sd card slots, this may sound like a silly question, can I put the current marketplace xap onto the sd card and patch it from within the phone? or does it need to be installed on the phone too as well? (which unfortunately they are not installed on my sd card slot phones)

it MUST be installed on a phone with an sd card so that you can move the app to the sd card, then you can get the app of the phone and patch it.
if it isn't installed on your 830 then the xap only will not help you because the market place checks if the app is there , if it isn't then it will not let you install the the app
there are some hardcore ways to get the app of your x8 but that is only for real advanced users like @compu829 , because you need to actually brick your phone to enable mass storage mode . there are some threads about that.

@noelito if you upgrade your L930 to Windows Phone 10, there is a simple way for you to get the xap off of the device for backup!

i can definitely upgrade the L930 to w10 tp
@compu829 ok how to back up the xap? where is the tutorial? I am looking for the way to upgrade non supported devcies to windows 10 phones, I should be good to go because I have noupgrade the windows insider app

is this the link? and when do i do the back up / extract?
ok I found this thread @compu829
http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10/general/howto-install-windows-10-phones-t3030105
do I follow the instructions on this thread to install windows 10 on my 930?
however at what point am I able to extract the vevo app and patch, when do I do that?

I was thinking about having you update your phone and then using the following trick to access c:\ on the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...ranted-c-access-windows-10-technical-t3032766 I know that your model is supported in the next version of the preview when it is released.

@compu829 yes I read the Lumia icon will be supported for windows 10 tp but they didn't mention 930 could have been inadvertently left out, I think I have done this before, if you are able to give step by step instructions im even open to doing a remote access to my PC if you wanted to do it for me or guide me as I go a long doing it

ADP builds of Android do not have TMobile apps such as Amazon MP3. This has been discussed ad nauseum if you had bothered to search.

It's a protected app. If you need it that bad that I suggest you go back to an RC build and do research before blindly flashing whatever build of Android is at the top of the forum.

If you still have the RC firmware you can just unzip it copy the amazon apk out and install it into the adp the amazon works. I dont think anyone has the IM app working though
We should have an official rc update from tmobile real soon, which will have amazon mp3, myfavs, etc...
Just open a RC33 update.zip and extract the file from /system/app. Then you can install it by adb push.
Verified as working. I just added it to the app folder of Dudes 1.1 build and then did the update and it works just great. Purchased and downloaded a song to verify.
Here it Is
http://droiddeveloper.com/com.amazon.mp3.zip
enjoy it works for me...
Really Bad,
In Germany it cannot charge my creditcard... It has enough money on it.
I have the dude's 1.5 version, and cant seem to get it running. It forces closed upon trying to open. Any thought? It is saved to my SD in the app folder.
TIA
Read my guide

TY SolemnWishing, this is how I got the app on my SD card to begin with - yours is a very helpful thread for a n00b like me. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the app to open. I am not sure how I could have messed it up - pretty simple, I navigate to the app folder on my SD and click the apk file which proceeds to install Amazon MP3. No go.
If you have any ideas on what the problem might be I would appreciate the input.
Thanks again for your great tutorial
Hmm... I assume you deleted the .zip and renamed it to .apk, what firmware are you using?
I am using firmware 1.5. Yes I renamed to apk. I wants to work, just force closes before it fully loads. I also have this problem with oi music player. It used to work, now no longer loads. I wonder if my SD card is the problem. It is 8 gb, but I am sure only like a class 2 card.
Strange. I have JF 1.5 and installed the Amazon app the normal way for any app on the G1 and have rebooted several times. The app still works. I thought if you did not push the app to the G1 it would need to be reinstalled each time you reboot the device?
Well, I am pretty positive it was my SD card - after writing my post this morning I pulled the SD card and have not been anble to get the phone back since. This thread pretty accuratly describes what is going on...long story short, i think I fried my SD card and as a result am stuck on Splash 2. I have wiped several times...

uggg...all for mp3's!!!! any thoughts and lots of luck would be appreciated.

Ahh I did the same thing. Here is what you need to do, you will need to force format it. Windows will NOT detect the card, and it may even freeze your computer. Put the phone into another device, such as a palm pilot or another cell phone and format it from there. It shouldn't take very long, and when it is completed, it will likely say the memory card only has 5Kb or so of memory on it. NOW insert the card into your computer and reformat it into a FAT32 format (+Ex2 for apps to SD) and you should be good! Of course, you will need to reload all your files though. That will fix your SD card. As for your phone... you will need to completely reflash a new firmware onto it, as right now starting up your phone is looking for items on your SD card which it may need, which no longer exist.
edit: if that doesn't work, completely start from the beginning by flashing the dreamimg.nbh file for rooting.
I was able to reformat the SD card, lost all my backups of course, and had to reflash dreaming.nbh and start from scratch. No biggy, at least i still have my phone.
thanks for all the tips...once i get my card re-partioned, I will try the Amazon.apk again.

I got it to load - thanks for all your help.

No problem at all, glad I could help.

Seems its a bug atm. However, if anyone messages you even though you appear offline, you will get the message. Same with calls.
Hey guys. Have a problem with Skype. Recent update makes Skype only to Microsoft Account Sign in but I`m using different Skype accounts and don`t wanna merge them. So Is there any way to sideload old version of Skype? Found 2.13.0.290 but can`t sideload it. Application Deployment says "XAP file is invalid." and WPV XAP Deployer 2.0.0 says "Cannot read that as ZipFile". Same with current version available in store.
I have Lumia 620 with Black update and free unlock (2 apps I think).

You can't sideload XAPs from the store. Just connect one of your Skype accounts to a Microsoft account and problem solved...
You guys sideloading YouTube, right? Because there was good app. I need to use an older version of Skype whose allows me to login with my Skype creditenals instead of Microsoft one. I have found and tried "unlocked" Skype xaps with versions of 0.2.0.0, 1.0.0.0, 1.1.0.0. The most older version closes immidately after start and newer ones crashing when the cyan background appears. IM+ allows me to login with Skype but I can`t make voice calls through it.
So I need any version of Skype from 2.15.0.154 and lower that works with Lumia Black/GDR3 update. Maybe @AlvinPhilemon can help... And for sure I need non-interop version.
My point was that XAPs from the store are encrypted and thus can't be sideloaded, as you can only sideload plain unencrypted XAPs. How AlvinPhilemon obtained the unencrypted YouTube XAP is beyond me, but AFAIK the store encryption hasn't been broken yet, which leaves only the possibility of using either the XAP after it was installed (because they get decrypted after download) or taking the pre-installed one from the ROM (because those are also unencrypted).
Why is signing in with a Microsoft account such a problem for you in the first place? You need it to use most of the phone anyway, and as you've already experienced, older versions tend to have problems, so you will hardly get anything to work. And even if you do, there's always a possibility that Skype login still won't work in case MS changed something on their side.
Sadly I have no success with that
When I`m tricking a response with Fiddler, there is a c00cee3b error. I also tried to replace updated xap file on my SD card to outdated when install button is available on the SD card menu into marketplace. There is a constanly error during setup after 3/4 of the installing bar.
On interop-unlocked phones, it is possible (with some hacks) to extract the files for an app and re-build the .XAP archive. That's how the older YouTube version was resurrected.

I know. But there is also a problem with Skype xaps. Versions 0.2.0.0, 1.0.0.0 and 1.1.0.0 that I found unlocked are not working. v0.2.0.0 crashes immidately and newer ones shows cyan background before crash. There is also version 1.3.0.0 that have ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES string. Actual version 2.0.16.266 was "cracked" too and it also has that string.
I can`t install 1.3.0.0 and 2.0.16.266 versions on my Lumia 620 due to INTEROPSERVICES restriction and I can install 1.3.0.0 when ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES string is removed but it fails to work. It also crashing after the cyan background appears. 2.0.16.266 still gave an error after no ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES string but there is no reason for sideloading it - it`s available on the Marketplace and lacks of Skype account signing in support (people report that they still using their Skype account if they has been logged in in previous versions).

If you can successful install a skype without Interop Capability, then you succeed !!!
Just follow my steps to add Interop capability again.
Move skype on the SD Card.
Remove SD Card from the phone.
Insert SD Card on PC through card reader.
Now go to an Installation directory of skype in WPSystem\Apps\{***}\Install
Delete the DRM Encrypted WMAppManifest.xml file.
Now put your decrypted.xml which is an enabled Interop Capability.

I was little skeptical because of WMAppManifest.xml file. An idea to replace it and get some good things was discussed long ago with FAIL.
But anyway I did tried his method. I had successfully replaced that file but just didn't get needed result. App still crashes after the blue background appears for a second or less. Then I tried to move an app back to internal memory and then weird thing happened. Looks like it was failed to transfer my app back with modded file and an operation stuck somewhere between. Skype has disappeared both from Internal and SD card apps list of the Data/Storage Control ("Контроль памяти" in Russian) and it`s icon on the regular app list (one with all apps listed, opens by start screen swipe) turns into grey with no logo on it. When I tried to start it there is loading... ("Загрузка..." in Russian) sign with dot animation appears. I has leaved it in that state for the whole night but nothing happens and the phone was even half-charged after it.
Finally I have found new xap "for Lumia 610" which is WP7 xap and successfully sideloaded it but it crashes after the blue background like the all I tried before. FAIL
you just cant replace files and hope for the best.
sometimes you can trick apps with changed icons but not with complete xml codepages.
WMAppManifest.xml is used at installation of the application, but not to start the application.

[Q] How to install xap from marketplace manually?

Its only for WP8 devices that have a MicroSD slot. Nothing from the marketplace can be deployed via the sdk deployent tool, as the marketplace xaps are encrypted.

I found even with the uSD, if an app has been discontinued it will not install as it checks the Store to see if the app is still valid.
For manually install original xaps from the market store is only one way:

After copy xap file to SD card, you have to restart the phone and wait few second (may be 1 or 2 minutes). Next you run to the market store and tap SD card, when opened you can install copied app from the list.

[WP10] Possibility of installing .xap files / unsupported apps on Huawei W1 [solved]

So i upgraded my Huawei W1 to WP10 TP. Unfortunately I'm facing several problems:
1) I can't deploy .xap files anymore (I guess the backward compatibility ended with WP10)
2) The store won't let me download Here Drive (the device doesn't meet the requirements)
3) Being a smart cookie I tried downloading Here Drive from the store manually but I only get an .xap file which due to 1) I can't deploy to my device
So my questions are:
1) Is there a way how I still can deploy a .xap file to a WP10 phone?
2) Does the store use the registry to determine if a phone is capable of running an app? If so: If I edit the registry to fake a capable device, will I be able to install from store and run the app?
3) Can I force the store to provide the app in .appx rather than .xap file format? General procedure for manual downloading mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/apps-games/apps-marketplace-t3171675
1) Have you tried openning developer mode?
2) Yes
3) What will it do if the app is an appx rather than xap?
@tolipwen
3) No appx is appx and xap is xap

My phone is in developer mode and I'm using (well trying to) WinAppDeployCmd. Unfortunately this will only accept .appx or .appxbundle. So the tool will just refuse sending an .xap to my phone running WP10.
On WP8.1 I used WPV XAP Deployer 2.0 for deploying my apps but it won't recognize my wp10 phone anymore. Is there an alternative that I'm missing?

Yes those are two different definitions. What puzzled me was that the store only offered me xap files for download and I tried like 50 apps. I thought most of them would be in the current .appx format.
EDIT: Solved. For some reason my phone gets recognized by the XAP deployer 2.0 now.

[idea]Possible trick to regain interop unlock on Windows Phone 8.1 :D

I remember when @djamol released the "root tool" app to the Windows store, which requires you to install it on SD Card, then to use the registry editor, you actually need to replace the files inside the XAP, which is quite genius
Anyways, I was thinking if the same trick done on root tool can be done on the old version of Extras + Info app too before Microsoft decides to remove its ability to move it to SD Card...
Modifying the WMAppManifest.xml inside the old XAP (removing anything related to interopservices to avoid throwing Error 0x81030120), set storage sense to SD Card, deploy app with App Deployment 8.1, then after deploying it, manually replace the modified XML file with the original untouched one (yes, the one with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES and such) on SD Card with a PC (needs to unlock WPSystem folder first, we already did this in the past... ) open the app and see if Extras + Info still works and if yes, BOOTSTRAP vcReg and Interop unlock your device right away!
This might actually work! Someone should try this!
@djamol @vcfan @WojtasXda please take a look at this and see if it might actually work . We might be able to Interop Unlock WP8.1 again even after that Extras + Info app update lol XD

I didn't really get your idea completely but as far as I get you want to modify WMAppMainfest.xaml file .
I have an application to edit any App Manifest but it doesn't work . you can't gain new capabilities to applications .

Here's what I mean...
1. Modify the old Extras + Info app's WMAppManifest.xml file, removing every capability that requires Interop unlock first before actually sideloading the app.
2. Sideload the app to Lumia, with storage sense set it to SD Card.
3 . After sideload, check if Extras + Info app is installed on Settings but don't open it just yet.
4. Remove SD Card, insert it to PC, access WPSystem folder and find where the Extras + Info app is installed...
5. Once found, swap the modified WMAppManifest.xml file with the original unmodified one (yes, the one that had ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES and any capabilities OEM can only achieve)
6. Return SD Card to phone, and see if Extras + Info app opens... If it does open, Bootstrap vcReg.
7. After bootstrap, open Extras + Info and see if vcReg does run

I've suggested this idea more than a year ago, but I heard from GDTD that it doesn't work as the WMAppManifest capabilities are only checked on deployment. Changing it after deployment would not work. Which is why they use the Preview for Developers app. It already has Interop capabilities and changing the manifest afterwards would not work, so they change the contents of the app instead, as this way any interop functions would work.
This is the current method now. You install an Interop app from the store and change the content.

I've suggested this idea more than a year ago, but I heard from GDTD that it doesn't work as the WMAppManifest capabilities are only checked on deployment.

You know the root tool app released on store by @djamol ? The original WMAppManifest doesn't have any capabilities that enables it to read and write to the registry but after swapping the WMAppManifest file with the one that had interop capabilities, the app now works as what its intended.....

trick works for store apps, but it doesn't work with third party apps(sideloaded apps) because third party app can't use interopservices capability.

Here's what I mean...
1. Modify the old Extras + Info app's WMAppManifest.xml file, removing every capability that requires Interop unlock first before actually sideloading the app.
2. Sideload the app to Lumia, with storage sense set it to SD Card.
3 . After sideload, check if Extras + Info app is installed on Settings but don't open it just yet.
4. Remove SD Card, insert it to PC, access WPSystem folder and find where the Extras + Info app is installed...
5. Once found, swap the modified WMAppManifest.xml file with the original unmodified one (yes, the one that had ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES and any capabilities OEM can only achieve)
6. Return SD Card to phone, and see if Extras + Info app opens... If it does open, Bootstrap vcReg.
7. After bootstrap, open Extras + Info and see if vcReg does run

actually the WMManifest.xml file is encoded with some kind of encoding so i don't think it's possible

I didn't really get your idea completely but as far as I get you want to modify WMAppMainfest.xaml file .
I have an application to edit any App Manifest but it doesn't work . you can't gain new capabilities to applications .
