I got myself a Samsung ATIV SE from eBay and it works fine except it's stuck on 8.10.14203.306 and Locked
Is there any solution to Unlock Bootloader, Enable Root Access and Run Windows 10 Mobile because i can't use the dead store, i've used multiple tools and versions but they keep telling me it's outdated and needs to be updated
UPDATE to Last Post : Apperently i found a OneDrive Folder that included the original CSC and WP8 files so i downloaded them and came with no detection from the WP8 SMD Binary Downloader 3.54, so it took me 1 week to uninstall and repair the drivers and when i flashed the two files, it indeed worked but now i'm still lost on these objectives
-still need to unlock the Samsung ATIV SE
-Enable Root Access
-Install Windows 10 Mobile
and there's a second issue i found
Some Preloaded Apps (Including Diagnosis) Doesn't Work at all
so i still need help to solve these issues
if anyone has solutions, please post them on this thread

Hello,
I had some problem while enabling the FS full access with my Samsung ATIV S (OS version 8.0.10211.204).
Here are the steps I followed:
1 - first dev unlock and then interop unlock the device
2- I installed the SamWP8 Tools and I turned on the Full FS access
3 - I followed the suggestions that can be found on the various forum's threads but still I can't get access to the phone's disk (the disk seems to be empty)
Just a side note: I'm working with a Windows 7 OS and I'm virtualizing a Windows 8.1 pro + WP8 SDK - this should be a problem, since I can sideload xaps without any error.
Can someone please assist me with the solution of the issue?
Thanks in advance.
Sandro.
** Update ** I solved the issue by upgrading the OS from GDR1 to GDR2, following @MauzaoFilho and @Randοm Hero's suggetions - the device first downloads and installs the GDR2 than, if you want, it will allows the uprade to the GDR3. Thanks for the help.
Try to update your system to version GDR2, I think this is a problem of incompatibility between the interop unlock with the GDR1 and FS.
Are you running software on the PC that interacts with the phone (eg windows media player syncs, etc.)? If yes, turn that program off.

No, everything is turned off.
My problem now is: can I directly update my device to GDR3 - now I have GDR1 - while preventing the interop-unlock ?
Thanks

I think first you have to update to GDR2, then GDR3 (someone confirm this, please). If you Interop-unlock GDR2, then yes, you can indeed prevent your phone from unlocking, using the SamWP8 Tools & following the instructions in this thread
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
Hello there,
I have questions about my rooted Lumia 925.
I bought it used, with the latest Firmware. Then I loaded up the correct Firmware with Windows Device Recovery Tool, then I unlocked the bootloader, and now I have root access.
I wanted to load up Win10, I haven't made yet, as my phone works fine.
My very 1st question is: IF I'll be successfull with the OS-update, will I lose the root access later on?
I know I could flash the phone back to Win 8.1 but actually the very annoying part is to customize again the device.
Moreover I have a huge problem with "Back-up" built-in function of my WinPhone. I NEVER had a successful back-up of app, settings and SMS... Fortunately my contatcs are secured as they are synced with my account, but that's all.
This bring me to the 2nd question:
ANYONE HAS N IDEA HOW TO FIX THE BACKUP PROBLEM?! ... my phone backs-up pictures and Video on OneDrive BUT NOT the Apps and Settings and SMS...
I got this idea: since I have no chance to back-up my data and settings, what IF make a Back-up of all partitions let's say once a week, following this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-lumia-520/development/make-backup-windows-phoneguide-t3628612 or using WPInternals, do I keep my contatcs/sms/settings/apps and so on ?!?
Anyone can confirm this ?
3rd question concerns UPDATE.
since i loaded the firmware 3051.50009.1424.0010 I keep getting this annoying message "there is a critical update, do you want to download it?" If I press on "agree" the phone gets the Firmware 3051.50009.1451.1011 . Then I lose all superuser rights... I tested it.
Is there a way to DISABLE the update completely? Like on Windows Desktop ?!?!
I have to say I got lucky here.
WPINTERNALS warns :
Updating your phone
After you unlocked the bootloader or enabled Root Access, you MUST disable Windows Updates on your phone. Future updates may corrupt the SecureBoot modifications and your phone may not boot anymore.
After you unlocked the bootloader or enabled Root Access, you can only update your Windows Phone by flashing a new Custom ROM which is based on the latest OS version.
Well I did this:
With "ROOT ACCESS ACTIVED" I pressed on agree to get the critical update. The updated failed. The Package has been downloaded but could not be applied (ERROR 800..... don't remember the error-code)
With "ROOT ACCESS DISABLED" the update has been made w/o errors.. and I had for a while the 3051.50009.1451.1011 ... no bootloader corruption !!! , then switched back to 3051.50009.1424.0010 to keep root access.
BUT can I get rid completely of this annoying message about the UPDATE !??!?! I do not want to challenge my luck again.
OR can I block completely the Win-Update process ?!?
OR can I force the phone to check on 127.0.0.1 instead of checking the Microsoft servers thorugh a registry modification?!?
OR could I modify the HOST file instead !? If I would know the server name, I could try to limit the contact by adding 1 line to the HOST file, something like: 127.0.0.1 windowsupdate.microsoft.com !?
Would this work!?
3rd question: I searched long about this... it seems nobody knows... well I try and ask it directly: is there any way to change the GUI ?
I want to know IF / HOW throug registry
1) I can change the tiles fill-colors using custom HEX or RGB format,
2) I can tiles outline/symbols color instead of using the annoying WHITE using HEX or RGB values.. (my idea is to make a "total-black" GUI with darkgrey symbols... )
3) If I can change phone FONTS (dream)
4th question:
My phone is branded Vodafone (as it has 32GB memory) I would like to unbrand it and use the nice computer Boor Screen "Energy Star" . I read I have to make actually a Custom-ROM since the splash-screen is part of the firmware. OK. So following WPINTERNALS, I can select a source FFU-file and extract the EFIESP partition and MainOS partition.
WPINTERNALS says: "You can enable Root Access on these partitions"
Well HOW?
If they are not on the phone how can I enable the root access and how can can I customize MainOS if it is on my Desktop Hard-Drive ?!?
I'm sure I do need another tool for that... Any hint for me please?! Anybody?
Then ok... "After you have unlocked the bootloader of the phone, you can flash the custom ROM to the phone". that's easy.
Last question, just curiosity: is there a SHELL in Win 8.1 mobile ?!
It wuold be nice to have sometime a hack-library divided by phone sometime.... hope that XDA mods will think about it.
With WPINTERNALS for WinPhones there is a fully new world to discover.
Thanks everyone for your answers.
In case you decide to reply, please be kind... since I cannot read your mind nor I have any "palantir" nor divination skills, try to explain things esaly.... e.g. as you would explain them to your dog.... :good:

PS: Phone is on windows 8.1 CYAN, I have made a full backup to pc with WPINTERNALS just in case anything goes wrong/

Hi, I'm in Portugal and my iPhone dropped and stopped working.
A friend gave me his old Samsung to use, but it's custom set to use with a Portuguese provider.
Can I jailbreak it and if yes, how?
I have already tried Dr.Fone-Root with PC (windows 10)
but the rooting got stuck at 96% twice.
How can I jailbreak it, with or without a PC?
Thank you!!
If with "jailbreak" you mean unlocking it, that's not possible until you contact the phone's carrier and ask for an unlock code.
If you just want to get root access, you can try KingRoot, it has most success on old phones (android 2.2-6.x).
I have the same cell phone, and I try to play around modifying it, although there is no custom recovery yet, I managed to install supersu manually after installing kingo root, it ends up being lighter.
Hi all.
I have an unbranded multimedia device installed in my car.
I know its cheep and old (OS is 4.1.1)
the only thing that can help identify is that on startup it says 'powered by Uzeb'
my problem is that the device is locked and no apps are allowed to be installed
I would like to root it so ill be able to install a newer version and if not than some apps.
problem is I can not find the option to Factory reset.
I am pretty sure that this option is gone or at list hidden from end users.
the company that installed it at first place demands an extra payment to unlock it back.
so Im trying to do it on my own.
For some reason I can't attach a photo
in About option,
there is a Uboot version - v00.01.13
Appreciate any sugestions.
no apps are allowed to be installed

Android Auto doesn't work that way - apps get installed on your phone, not on the head unit.
so what am I missing here ?
Its a touch screen mounted inside my car.
it runs on old version android and blocked to end users
who wants to update the OS by themselves or to install different apps (or even update the existing ones)
So this is not Android auto and perhaps im not at the right forum
any suggestions on what else can I do ?
