Database Develop

deploy xap issues

hey guys, ive a lumia 625 and ive developer unlocked it, ive been searching the web all day on how to deploy xaps, ive been to site after site and they all reccomend different apps to do this, i've literally tried them all and i keep coming to one of 2 problems.
1- i cannot target/choose my fone to deploy too
2- i get a microsoft error (this only happens wif the offical deployer from the sdk.
just wondering if anyone has come accross this issue before and if there is a way to make any of the apps reconginse my phone?

Could you be a little more vague about that error? I mean, you told us it pertained in some way to the company that made the software. That's clearly way too much info... </snark>
If you were able to dev-unlock your phone (presumably using the Developer Registration tool from the SDK), you are able to deploy apps (using the Application Deployment tool from the SDK). They connect the same way. If you get some error when doing so, tell us what the error is. Also, try obvious and simple fixes like restarting the PC and/or phone, making sure the phone is connected correctly (i.e. you can browse it via MTP, it's charging, etc.)

yeah my phone is developer unlocked, above is the error i get from the Application Deployer from the SDK instalation, and yes i can still browse my files and charge my phone, its just this error happens when i opened the program.
above is 2 images in one, the first is the error i get when opening xap deployer 2.0, the 2nd half with the black circle shows there is no target avaiable.

Have you tried rebooting both systems? The other things you might try are removing the WP8 drivers (which may also require a reboot before they work again) from Device Manager, and using a different USB port.

i have rebooted both systems, i haven't tried removing drivers or a different port, I'll try those tomorrow and hopefully one will work

Good luck. This is an error I haven't seen before. You may also want to search around more online in case anybody else knows anything. The only times I've seen comparable problems, the phone wasn't really connecting at all (not visible to the registration tool or MTP clients).

Thanks.
tbh id an issue wif one usb port not reading my fone, but the one I've been using since i got the fone installed has always worked for copying files and stuff.

hey ive tried what youve suggested but im still getting the same errors, is there another app you know of that may work? ive searched the web and the only other person who seems to have come accross this error said he updated his visual studio to update 3, i just downloaded the most up to date version of visual studio yesterday so i dont think it would be that?

All the apps work the same way, they just wrap the same functionality of the official app in a more user-friendly package (the official tool is pretty bare-bones). Some of them have better error handling (telling you useful information) than others, but if they just do not *work* then you're probably SOL... is there another computer you can try using, to see if it's a problem with the phone instead of the SDK tools? Also, are you sure you purged all the phone drivers? Un-installing the SDK and purging all the drivers, then rebooting the PC and starting from scratch, *might* work. It'll take time but I don't know what else to recommend right now except trying on another PC or trying with another phone.

I did a fresh install if windows 8 and that's sorted the problem, not sure wat was wrong, but thanks for the help guys.

I have gotten this error when installing the WP8 SDK on Windows 7 64 bit. Try applying any WP SDK updates starting with 7.1.1. I think the 7.8 update is the one that fixed it for me...

I have a wp8 and windows 8 64bit and I have tried several ways I don't get the target option in deployer!!pls help!!!

I had that same problem multiple times, always when the internet connectino went offline and the installer couldn't finish. I had to completely uninstall the SDK and install it again, you have to let it download the emulator images aswell. Good luck!

[Q] Samsung ATIV S - WP8 SMD binary not working

Hi,
I cannot use the WP8 SMD binary USB Downloader with my Samsung ATIV S to flash a rom.
I specify the wp8 and csc file, SMD detects my phone, the start button is enabled, but when i press Start nothing seems to happens (t.e the channel don't seem to open).

What i have checked is:
1) Try flashing on computers running from Windows XP to Windows 8.1, both 32 and 64 bit versions of the OS
2) All sorts of usb cables, including the ones that i received with my phone
3) As drivers, I'm using the Samsung ones "SamsungUSBDriver", but also tried the Windows provided and from the Zune Software.
4) Tried every version of the SMD Binary that i managed to find on the net
One thing that i have noticed is that the samsung driver inf file (WP8USBDownloader.inf) is using the signature:
USB\Vid_045E&PID_062B
But when i go to the Device Manager (when my phone is in download mode) the usb signature is:
USB\VID_045E&PID_062A
But nevertheless the driver is getting installed and I'm not sure if this is preventing the flash process to begin
Anyone has experienced an issues like this?

The only advice I can give you is to try the newer versione of wP8SMD, the 3.47.. you can download it from the net

Tried that version as well ..

I have exactly the same problem, did you succeed in resolving it maybe?

when i look at the picture the phone is an engineering phone , and you try to flash a retail rom , that will not work.

So do you mean that it's impossible to flash? where I can find engineers roms and csc?
with smd version 3.47, phone is not detected, with the others is detected as "UnKnown Engineer" I just want to change CSC

It can be flashed with MBN Creator, IMHO. But I can't predict the result.

I guessed to try with your creation but bad luck is on me, my ativ has been stolen, bought a used one off ebay and it's a branded version with a lot of csc except ITV, and when I try MBN creator

It makes me sad every time somebody takes an engineering phone and tries to turn it into a retail one. They are so much more useful when they're all unlocked (the way engineering phones generally are).

Flashing CSC will not lock this phone.
IMHO, phones with Mass Storage are way more usefull

Firmware: EVA-L09-hw-eu-V001 (???)

Good evening folks!
I've been lurking around in this amazing forum for some time now, but now i need a little bit of help.. I have searched my ass off in here and out there in google city, but can't find squat!
So...
I have this Huawei P9 that used to be EVA-L09C432B182 until yesterday when i tried to update/upgrade to C432B360 dload style. It went great i thought, 100% and succeed message. Then it rebooted to eRecovery...
I tried to update the HW_EU the same way - 99% Fail message.
I've tried update via Huawei updater as you can see in the picture below. I also tried unbrick/refurbish via Huawei updater but all that happened on Hisuite you can also see in the picture. The circle of nothing kept going for hours.
What my EVA can do? Enter eRecovery (which helps me nothing), fastboot/rescue mode (Huawei updater kinda recognizes my device, Hisuite does not.) and force update three button method (Here i get a message when trying to flash anything from ext. sd card: "Not compatible with this version, download the right software". Or something to that matter.)
If you take a look at the picture i've tried to embed below, you'll see that Huawei updater recognizes my phone as
Hardware: EVA-L09
Firmware: EVA-L09-hw-eu-V001 (Never seen or heard of!)
C- version: C000
D- version: D000

It was going so great...
And then not so much..

I was stuck in a similar sort of place, I used a program called DC Phoenix, which I found in these forums. You have to pay a fee of 15 euros which gives you access to force flash a rom. It worked perfectly on mine after I had exhausted other options. Its part of dc unlocker. Hope that helps

Hey!
Do you know if this Is a guaranteed succeed solution? I'll look into it. Definitely worth the 15Euros if it actually works magic!
Thanks.

Theres a forum thread somewhere on here, I cant find it at the minute, but there were numerous good reviews

Tried using SRK and update extractor. See pic.
Anyone know what i can do with this "command not allowed"?
No time for school, work or family with this **** going on..!

I would try and flash a full rom using the dload method just to make sure. I flashed B136 after I reset mine to take it back to original and let it updat to b166 ota

Phoenix woke my phone up again! Thanks!! Now I'm on Nrd90m though, hoping to bring back stock.

I had the same problem, what did you do to fix it?

I downloaded DC phoenix from DC unlocker page. Bought 15 credits ≈ 15 euro
Downloaded full b361 for EVA-L09. Then followed instructions given by the program. I can explain better when I'm on my laptop if needed?
Still have no built-in camera, no BT, no NFC and no built-in flashlight..

Once unlocked its permanent. Back up phone and do hard reset. Use the key combo not the option from Setting menu. If that doesn't solve it then use Emergency software repair ( Samsung Switch) on PC .

i already tried a hard reset, did not solve the problem.
i will try smart switch and let you know

ok i tried to use samsung switch, first of all the tab "Device Initialization" is missing in the latest version of this software, i tried to use an older version, here the tab Device Initialization still was here but when i type in my Model Number and SrNumber it Says:
"SM-G973F" does not support Initializing. Please contact a Service Centre
do i have to use ODIN now??
i guess i just will wait until a new update will come out and try to update with Smart Switch

You can reflash the fw with Odin. Flash the version you had before the "unlock ". I think they are messing with some version of firmware...

Very close.
Bare with me as it's been a moment since I've worked with these tools:
Most 'instant' unlocks, done via USB over TCP/IP, tend to alter one of the device's primary certificates to allow for an 'instant unlock'.
If, and when, one of these certificates is replaced, it alters the chain of trust required by the device.
So when the device goes looking for an update, the update server acknowledges the request but sends back a query. In this query, and depending on the model, the update server looking for several variables and these must ALL match. Seeing as one of the primary certificates has changed, the result expected by the server isn't matched and, as such, it doesn't allow for an update.
@Rexton270 is correct in that you should replace the firmware with the same (and failing that, a newer version if possible). AFTER you flashed the new update, follow these steps:
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-222931/
(I know you don't have a Verizon device but the steps are the same)
Please keep us posted.

thank you for that explanation.
i will first try to update the phone with smart switch as soon as there is a newer version for my phone, atm it says im up to date (i hope that is true) maybe it solves itself when i start an update with smart switch, if not i will follow your steps
thank you very much.

because there was still no update in samsung smart switch i flashed it with odin.
problem solved.
thank you.
for other users: if you want to unlock your phone, use the samsung database instead of the cheaper version.....

Excellent news. Glad to hear it all worked out.

General Journal: A brand new OPPO Find X3 Pro (UK/EE) - From new to clean de-bloated android (hopefully)

To start this journal I will begin by stating, I am not actually sure if it will be possible to finish this journal; from what I have read there can be quite a number of obstacles with international versions of the OPPO, some of which can be quite troublesome, but I thought it would be an interesting and hopefully helpful (for my self and anyone else wanting to do the same) way of going through the process with such a modern device.
The device arrives tomorrow, I wanted to get the initial post in without knowing precise details about the device.
I will update this primary post with the journal entries and post into the main thread when I update it going forwards
-- Entry 1 29/01/2022 00:21 (Dellivery today at some point!)
So far I have found out that cpw means car phone warehouse, which used(still is?) a store in the uk, 'EE' a network provider in the UK releases of the Oppo x3 find pro are apparently identical to releases from this store.
I have asked the user who informed me of this if they could possible put any information they are aware of within this thread.
Also, I will be doing the unboxing and initial looking at what it is via youtube I hope this is ok? I could not see a way to embed video onto this platform!
-- Entry 2 29/01/2022 10:53 (Delivery)
This is just a few images of the arrived device, simply unboxed and put on charge nothing has been set on the device what so ever.

Also note that this image showing the build number is by @alvydas it is not from my device yet! just some more information to add to the journal, this is believed to be the same as mine should show later on when I decide to video/start the phone up

Ok so we can't root it and we can't change the boot laoder .... however we can get novo launcher to start by default! The pro version at least!
Not exactly an amazing feat but hey its progress, I also removed the gmail mail application as I preffer outlook (mainly because I have 3 email accounts):
And boy .... you can really remove everything including:
130|OP4F57L1:/ $ pm uninstall --user 0 com.oppo.launcher
The coloros launcher its self X_X, so it seems you cannot get root, but there is no protected package, you can remove ANYTHING.
so this bodes the question .... other than wanting lineage OS of course, how thin can we get it ....
-- Entry 3 10/02/2022 10:53 (Hackery and cleaning)
.... So there is no fastboot on the international model, it is simply not there I even got EE them self to confirm this.
However, I have made some progress in discovering a way to get to the qualcomm flashable download mode, that is it will show up as a:
One of those (if you have the Qualcomm drivers installed), some information I put in the forum about this mode was this:
1) Turn the phone off (shutdown)
2) Hold the power button and the Vol up/down (I Forget which) down all the way through the phone starting, you will feel a little Bzzzzz
3) you will be presented with a menu probably in chinese, this is because you held down the power button and it auto selected the first language (its not a biggie), just press the back touch screen button in the top left <--
4) Select english (or chinese if you preffer!)
5) you will be presented with a menu that has 3 options, Format, Reboot, .... something else ...
6) Select none of the options! look to the bottom of the screen you will see a version mine was v12 o3 v1.2 - double tap this
7) you will get a warning you are entering 'customer service mode', and wallah .... you will get the device show up in device manager.
I was going to shoot a video of this, I still might! but its rather redundant at this point as I am now at a brick wall, I need to figure out how to deal with this mode, can I flash something to it .... how?
I am scrubbing the phone of all the bloatware I can and to be honest I have it pretty damn clean .... but still the fastmode is elusive and what else could be loaded onto this lovely phone.

Entry 1 added - nothing really important

Entry 2 added, initial unboxing simply for charging, video to come soon: looking for details!

So now next up I believe its rooting the phone should be fun, also I beleive there is a way to root a phone but hide it from applications like paypal ... would love to find more out on this

Also have to figure out if all the fancy camera things will work with a custom rom, such as the microscope mode and all the advanced functionalities
Maybe the best initial tangent is to simply root the phone and remove any bloatware as well as installing novolauncher, followed by re-rooting it
That way I will not lose the ability to use the special camera functions and in turn still receive updates, I believe I can actually freeze certain packages too so they are effectively immutable, so they show up but can never run or be changed ... hmmm

Rooting ain't gonna be easy on this phone that's if you can unlock the bootloader which is pretty much impossible unless you have a Chinese variant of the phone or somehow figure out a way to root it without unlocking the bootloader would be a miracle

Check the youtube video, I appear to have lol ... though I did notice that going into the recovery menu is all in chinese ... so I assume its the chinese version:

The only problem being ... I have no idea idea what this menu says -_-

I guess that is tomorrows episode though, connecting it via ADB+TWRP

Usually first thing when you open recovery is choosing a language idk why English wasn't there and btw the difference between the builds is you're running lower firmware so if you try to update it you should get the same build number as me and if u had the Chinese version your model would have been PEEM00 or something like that

ah ha I held the button down to long it auto selected chinese somehow I pressed back and got the recovery options ... not seeing TWRP though ... and when I do a TWP fastboot it does not boot into the bootloader...
The OEM Bootloader though is saying its unlocked in dev options

Oppo has a weird bootloader cuz it can only be unlocked with an app that only works on Chinese version and to access fastboot u need a unlocked bootloader

just read this .... so there is no way to even fastboot the device https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...access-for-oppo-phones-starting-2016.3348114/

I wonder if you could flash on the chinese version of the firmware

it seems that the device is really a 'realme gt 5g' .... trying to verify this
