I'm trying to follow through the guide to unlock AWS on my canadian SGS4 as per this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291589
It seems that i'm only able to detect my mobile in step 4 on the default MTP+ADB.
RNDIS+DM+MODEM and DM+MODEM+ADB are recognized as an unsupported USB device. Im currently using Windows 10, which i'm started to believe is the issues as my search has yielded no solution from folks with this issue.
Does anyone have a solution for this, or will i have to dual boot windows 7 to complete this tutorial?

Hi everyone,
I have a HTC 8x (AT&T) with 8GB of storage. I was waiting patiently for the upgrade to Windows 10, but from the latest news I have come to understand that there is no such thing as a upgrade support to win10 for this particular phone.
Now I am trying to find some useful instructions here on how to upgrade this phone even though it is not supported on the list.
My question is: Has anyone tried this un-official way of upgrading this phone to win10 mobile, and if yes then how do you get further updates?
Greetings!
I recently got the Samsung Ativ S neo off ebay and am using it on Ringplus. Nice little phone, its my first windows phone. Its not my dailey runner though as I have a nexus 6.
Right now my device is on windows 8, I want to upgrade it to windows 10 (or at the very least windows 8.1). I tried to do a OTA update and it claims I have the newest version which I believe is false.
I believe I have to manually upgrade my device to the newer version of windows phone.
Can someone tell me or link me to a tutorial on how to upgrade my device to windows 10(or 8.1 if 10 isn't available)?

You cannot upgrade to windows 10. However win 8.1 is possible.
step 1: Register at http://appstudio.windows.com/
Step 2: Download app "Preview for developers". Search in store, else google it. Register, and you are set to receive 8.1
Why is win10 out of the question?
I take it not good enough specs?

More that it is not supported yet in the insider channel. Phones from Microsoft with similar Hardware are getting the update. So hopefully someday.. Even quicker if someone can get a Workaround.
I got it on win8.1 it had like 50 updates lol. would be nice to see win10 on it though

No, it just isn't directly supported. The specs are more than enough.
I actually DID install Win10 on my Neo, but it just boot-looped. The reason it boot-loops is that in order to install W10, you first need to install a "pre-W10" version of WP8.1 that prepares the phone for the W10 upgrade. Since the Neo is not supported, the pre-W10 8.1 that gets installed is intended for different hardware and won't run.
This is not a problem for the ATIV SE, since it shares hardware with the Icon/930.
if you to get W10 update first of all you need to interop unlock your phone
then install custompfd 0.5.0.0 and edit Manufacture name from SAMSUNG to NOKIA from this path :
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
then get Windows Insider app from store , sign up , select insider fast and blabla and finally you have w10 after checking for updates .
Hi all,
As we know, Alcatel Idol 4s Android and Alcatel Idol 4s with Windows 10 (called Idol 4 Pro in Europe) are completely different phones but both named Idol 4s in US
I purchased online an Alcatel Idol 4s with Windows 10, 6071W. Snapdragon 820, 64Gb, 3.5Gb, Amoled screen, USB-C connector, Single SIM, SD slot but it is locked to T-Mobile.
I confirmed it has a clean ESN but I cannot find an online provider to unlock it.
Most providers don't list this phone model or the Idol 4s they reference to is the Android version only.
I paid for cellunlocker (which I found to be reliable in the past) but replied that they cannot find the IMEI in their database and to try again after several weeks...
Does anyone know a safe place to have it unlocked?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I am looking for a solution to the problem too...same phone, Alcatel Idol 4s with Windows. I have contacted several unlock sites to no avail. If you have any success, please let me know!
Heya I had the same experience with cellunlocker.net today. They said it could take weeks or months. =/
For what it's worth, I have the same problem with a Tmobile Alcatel Idol 4S windows phone. I even got an account with Tmobile for 40 days etc to get the unlock straight from them, and after waiting 40 days, ultimately they also could not give me the unlock. It's pretty frustrating because it's a great phone, but I have Zero bars of service from T mobile at home so staying with them simply isn't an option. If anyone has any ideas on what can be done, please reply.
Alcatel ONE TOUCH IDOL 4S data connection locked
Hi, I have similar Problem, I purchased the Alcatel Idol S4 Windows Phone unlocked in the US and try to use a sim from the Philippine Globe-Tele Company. All works but the data connection is blocked. Is there any different option to unlock the data connection? Because the phone calls work... If anyone has an Idea how to unlock the data connection I would be happy...
The same here.
Idol 4S T-Mobile from USA to Finland.
T-Mobile has terminated the phone and apparently also that part of their database.
I'll try to hack it and then tell if it works.
(I may need to buy several if I keep on bricking the phones))

Hi, did you manage to unlock this device?
Hi all,
I am in desperate need of help for unlocking the bootloader (or at the very least root the phone).
I am posting here in case someone could provide me with useful hints.
A few days ago, I got a new Xiaomi Mi Mix to replace my aging Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which was running LineageOS 7.1.2.
I had previously verified that Xiaomi provided tools (the unlocker) to help unlock the phone after purchase.
To this end, I was confident that once I had gotten the new phone, I would just Titanium Backup Restore all of my apps/settings in a few hours and reinstall LineageOS 7.1.2 for Lithium.
I created a Xiaomi online cloud account, unlocked Developper mode, registered, set the account on the phone, applied for unlocking, waited for 72hours and tried unlocking the phone by using a few Windows PCs and VMs. It failed each time with 'Unknown error (-1)'. Tried Windows 10 x64 on Physical, Windows 7 x86 in a VM, a few others..
The Unlock tool always fails at 99%, after verifying my account and the phone, which makes me think I registered OK
I posted message asking for help in the forums at miui.com
I've tried switching to the latest MIUI Developper ROM using the 'Updater' app on the phone itself but no luck there also (miui_MIMIXGlobal_7.5.25_0cc67107a6_6.0.zip)
(and the global dev ROM doesn't seem to provide 'root' either).
I've tried using a private VPN endpoint in Hong Kong, moving the SIM card from Slot2 to Slot1, etc.. but it still fails with 'Unknown Error(-1)'
I'm now stuck with an expensive phone which I cannot use due to the inability to restore over a hundred apps from my Titanium Backups.
Does anyone have any hints? How to either root the phone or unlock the boot loader without Xiaomi's app?
Thank for reading,
Vincent
End of story, tonight I was ready to give but I decided to give it one last attempt:
- Got MiFlashUnlock_2.3.803.10_en copied to C:\ (instead of mounting an SMB share)
- Got a clean Windows 10 x64 PC (Dell Precision with 128Gb RAM)
- Connected the PC directly to my cable modem
- Disabled firewalls, proxy but left AV on.
.... and it worked!!!
I'm glad it unlocked the phone but really this doesn't make any sense. Couldn't Xioami put a little more software engineering into the unlocker so that it would work more easily?
Thanks,
Vincent
I recently got a Lumia device and wanted to see if i could get it to windows 10 mobile, i have tried many methods on YouTube and on this forum and none worked. Is there any possible way?
What are the methods you have currently followed ?
