[Q] App Data after flashing another ROM - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My question is:
If I flash my Lumia 640 LTE with another country version of Windows Phone 8.1 and I have apps installed on the MicroSD card, after the flashing will my app data be deleted?
E.g.: I play Subway Surfer and other games that don't have cloud saving of game progress so if I re-flash my phone I do not want to have to replay the game from the beginning...

All will be useless. Why not use the appdata.xap for backup your data game? you will need to interopunlock before..

i come from android, and i didn't have a lot of time to familiarize myself with windows phone so interop unlock dev unlock i don't know how to do that...yet, but thanks for suggesting AppData Manager

is it possible to interop unlock lumia 640??

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.

change the device ID to a nokia
goto HKLM system platform
change OEMdevicename to Lumia 900
OemName to NOKIA ( that is case sensitive)
MODeviceName Lumia 900
that will stop the Samsung update notification and also let you use nokia apps
oh before you change them can you post what yours say? im curious about something

EDIT!!!
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).

Oh wait it's only for Windows 8 WTF? There is no way I'm going to upgrade to that crappy os.
Very nice news! Hope to see this on HTC 8X too!
i follow you men!
i have an HTC 8S too, i will install VS 2012 and make DevUnlock with the SDK tools.
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

MTP Unerase.. how to load as a usb/disk drive in windows

so i was tinkering with my moto x and decided to give it a go at unlocking the bootloader, i started the process and did it succesfully, little did i know that it wiped my whole phone, i was used to do unlocks on phones with sd cards and all my files were safe but this time i lost all my photos and videos so im wondering how can i use a program like recuva or other windows programs if it doesnt show in windows as a drive because of MTP protocol.

Flash a rom and install DiskDigger Pro apk. Was in a similar situation and got 80%+ of my files. May not be the only option but for what it's worth.
I can't say I've ever seen a post on XDA where anyone successfully retrieved their data after unlocking the bootloader.
Sorry. ?

you cant load other OS
you cant SIM unlock
you first need developer or appstudio account
also need WP SDK to unlock and deploy (XAP) files
with interop unlock you can change registry settings, enable or disable many options in WP, deploy homebrew apps....
Thankyou for your help

Lumia 1020 interop

Hello!
I have upgraded my 1020 with GDR2.
with a root access, a reg mod and an update directly after.
I own a Microsoft developper account ID.
i have semi unlocked my Lumia.
Just to know if there a way for interop my unit for really side loading.
Don't know how to make VCREG1.2 working without the Mixradio exploit or SD card exploit...
...and would love to use old store XAP files. (know, it's impossible ?!)
I love my 1020. very smoothy with 8.1.2 ^_^
Thank a lot.
Use windows phone internals to unlock the phone and get root access. If i don't remember wrong, you'll need to unlock the bootloader first(with the same app), after that just sideload vcreg and it will load and work. You don't need to do any app replacement, nor any old method.
Thank a lot for your reply.
But... I can't side load my vcreg.xap with Windows deployment tool.
My 1020 is seen as a mass storage unit (normal in root mode).
:'(
