Bodhi Linux on Iconia - Alpha 2

Hello all,
I'm getting prepared to upload my Alpha 2 port of Bodhi Linux for our Iconia. The thread for the original release is here. In the next few days, I'll be uploading the files to my server, writing up guides, and taking any questions. I highly recommend installing a GNU/Linux distribution before even attempting this. Using Linux in a VirtualBox *should* work, but I can't promise that. As usual, if this product bricks your device, it's not my fault. By attempting to use this release, you agree that it is not my fault. The same goes for instantaneous combustion, natural disasters, and acts of God.
New Features:
New recovery.img compiled using the Iconia, not at x86 processor (dunno if this means anything)
The ability to download, compile, and install the kernel/modules right from the device, no computer needed (after initial installation).
mkbootimg and mkbootfs
Scripts to automate grabbing the files needed for WiFi to work
Untested (May work, but I didn't have time to play with):
Bluetooth
Sound
3D acceleration
Here are the links needed to get started (not done yet):

I'd like to thank everyone who made Alpha 2 possible, including all kernel devs, etc. I'd also like to thank Jeff over at the Bodhi Linux forums.
Please ask as many questions as you'd like, even before Alpha 2 is released.
UPDATE:
The image is now up. Use gparted to partition your micro sd as follows: at least 1.5 GB (i think, it could be more) as the first partition, ext4 format. Name that partition "bodhi". Partition 2: atleast 128 MB, fat32 format. When done, mount partitions. Extract the bodhi tarball to the root of your card. Do it like this:
sudo su
cd /media/bodhi/
tar -jxvf /home/name/bodhi_alpha2.tar.bz2
Then type in ls, you should see etc , home, and the like. If you see a folder, you did it wrong.
Copy recovery.img to the 2nd partition. In Acer Recovery Installer, flash it using this custom image. Copy your nvram.txt to the card as well. Reboot into recovery. Enter the terminal. Type in setupwifi . This will copy nvram.txt to the correct place. I'll be writing up some official guides to get this working. BTW, what do you guys think of Plasma Active Two?
UPDATE (23 / 02 / 2012) : Bodhi will be on the backburner for a while. I've school stuff to do, and will be playing around with the leaked ICS.

It is very good
- Have you tested backlight regulating?
- Can you patch the kernel to overclock tegra?

Do you still need an 8 gig micro sd card for this? you mentioned something in alpha 1 about that being fixed in later versions. I really want to try this on an old 4 gb sd card so hopefully that might be enough
Great work btw! keep it up!

I have not tested backlight regulating yet.
I'm not too good at kernel patching, but anyone who wants to play with the kernel will just have to type in "getkernel" and it will dl & unpack it.
Thanks for your interest!

It may work on a 4GB, I'm going to be doing some testing w/ one today. The current 8GB I'm using is only Class 4, and Bodhi works pretty well on this older card of mine.
I'm sounding repetitive, but thanks for your interest as well! At first, I didn't think anybody would care about this too much.

When can we expect the required files to be uploaded? (an estimated day perhaps?). And do USB peripherals work (e.g keyboard/mouse) and camera work? And do you think either eclipse or netbeans IDE will work when installed?

Will this work with any Linux distribution?
I was wondering if your Linux recovery kernel will work with other rootfs images like ubuntu or kde or backtrack?

It should be up tomorrow, but my ISP sucks. I'll try getting it up. I've noticed that usb keyboards and mice do work. The apple mouse doesn't, but that's probably just a kernel module I didn't compile. I'll get that in the next version, or you could compile your own, which is very fun to do (seriously, on of my favourite hobbies.) No clue on the cameras, haven't tested. Eclipse / Netbeans may work, you'll have to test and post the results, please.

Yes, it works with Ubuntu. I'm pretty sure you could load kde up on the bodhi image, log out, then select it as your sessions. It may be slow. I recommend taking a look at the Plasma Active 2 interface, built by the KDE folks. It's pretty sweet. I've just got done downloading backtrack, and it may work. Not sure, either.

backtrack
could you possibly upload a backtrack raw image for our iconia... would love it, would also entice me to donating hehe

GEEZ! I upload one or two distro ports and now YOU want ME to work on ANOTHER one?!?
Lol, jk. I love backtrack, of course I'll work on it.

Also, can you include the florence keyboard into the rootfs in the next releases?
I have troubles with it`s compiling (becouse i am noob)

I look forward to)

wow thanks much I am still an infant when it comes to compiling kernels or even rootfs image lol... I I was able to get aitcrack-ng but not gerix yet cannot find good repository for bt5 to add

So, I now have the images up on the site. The next day or so I'll be working on an in-depth tutorial. I'll also post a tutorial for downloading / compiling the sources straight from the device.

and can not install on internal memory?

With the current kernel, no. I stay away from that for now, to prevent bricking. You can compile a kernel using the source to aim at the internal card. This is not reccomended, and I take no responsibility for anything done.

Backtrack anytime!
I'm interested for Backtrack for sure.
This website might be helpful for backtrack:
http://roms.tiamat-dev.com/tiamat_xoom/backtrack-5-with-aircrack-for-motorola-xoom/
It seems possible to use USB wireless adapter and drivers with the Xoom, I am in the office for too long this week and I'm starting to look at that very closely.
Running an RTL8187 monitor on backtrack on Iconia A500 might be something that could be done...

Thanks for the link. You see, we don't have to worry about making Android compatible drivers. On the Iconia, my kernels don't boot under chroot. They load themselves, then point at any chosen partition. Simply compile the needed driver in the kernel, flash it, (or just load the module), and go from there.

I'll compile you a special kernel to boot to internal memory. Which partition (mmcblk0px) do you want it to boot to? I cannot verify it will work. It may brick your device. I am not responsible for anything that may happen.

I type debian and debian for username and password and I recieve the following error message:
"GDM could not write to your authorization file. This could mean that you are out of disk space or that your home directory could not be opened for writing. In any case, it is not possible to log in. Please contact your system administrator."

How to Flash Succesfully Any verion of Firefox OS
Get the Build(user.img,boot.img,system.img,data.img)
download a build from here http://elsimpicuitico.wordpress.com/firefoxos/
make your own with the mozilla guide (so stop here and follow mozilla guide)https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Building_and_installing_Firefox_OS
get one from a friend
Plug-in your Alcatel Fire(Hamachi)
Make sure you have the "Remote Debugging" enabled(Settings > Device information > More information > Developer > Remote Debugging)
Look inside the .zip/tar.gz you had downloaded,there some "flash" files.If:
You are on windows:double click on "flash.bat"
You are on linux,open the terminal in the folder you had unzipped the build,and type"./flash"
Done
If you have a consumer phone, not a dev edition, you will not get root access on adb.
So you have to do this in a Linux machine(or with Cygwin):
shutdown phone
power on pressing "volume-"
it will get 'stuck' into the "alcatel" logo. don't worry it probably worked, this is the screen for fastboot mode as well.
plug in your computer and check `fastboot devices`. if any error here, go read one of the thousands guides for fastboot and android usb drivers
get any boot image from that page. ideally one from the same country as it may matter....
flash the boot image on your phone with. test first with `fastboot boot boot.img`. if it works, redo the above steps and make it permanent `fastboot flash boot boot.img`. You need any boot image that has default.prop setting the user for adb as 0 instead of the default 1.
If you want the ClockworkMod recovery i can update this post to explain how to flash it .
If you will have any problem ,I'll help you and I will update this thread with your problem with the fix
Some infos
When you turn On your Alcatel OTF,you have 4sec to hold "volume-" button just after powering it up. It will stop at initial Alcatel’s logo.If you are ona Linux computer you can confirm that it is connected by typing "fastboot devices"-
Th Codenme of this phone is:Hamachi.

Thanks HawkeyeWPR. This and your site was very helpful for me and my Fire. Keep going!
Your provided version 1.4 is very nice and fast and I could choose beetween two recoverys (CWM or TWRP). Thats awesome.

The same process i've done,cause the boot.img file contains the kernel with access to grant "root" access,now I'll add this step to my guide ,Thanks

just follow the points. and when it mentions "look for a guid on something" it is because there are already a ton of video-or-not guides on that stuff
any point in particular you are having trouble?
But a warning, it is unstable. the shipped image has pretty much everything you need anyway (a stable browser)
upgrading to 1.4 will give you almost nothing else new. The browser still has no extra options. no add-ons. nothing. just tabs, back foward, clear history. that is all. most of the changes from 1.1 to 1.4 were in the gaia (ffos launcher) and even that, weren't too interesting ones to being with.
my advice is to stick with the shipped image if you are not going to code for ffos. Or at least help submiting bug reports.

Root part. Don't have clue how, but I found friend coder who knows this stuff so hes gonna try first.
I have intention on building apps for Firefox OS only, so I would like to see new versions, since Telenor in my country is retarded, they ain't relased 1.3 yet, even its been almost a month since relase. -.-

Having a device in the older version is good for that... just so you have an idea, i got my phone in a mexican store. it came with 1.1 and no sign of update ...ever. so your users will NOT be on the latest version anyway.
i suggest you simply use the emulator. develop. and ocasionaly test your app on your 1.3 device for performance and multitouch tests
if you really want to flash just to test apps, not to use your phone daily, you don't even need root just to update the image. unless you want a backup...
just use fastboot to overwrite the system partition (the user interface and gecko code). No root needed. just 3 steps:
1. boot with volume down.
2. plug USB in computer when it gets stuck on the white alcatel screen.
3. `fastboot flash system <name_of_the_file_with_system.img>`
that is all you need.
you will still be able to re-do that any time, so, go crazy. there is no way to brick the phone with that. (your system may be unusable if you use a bad image, but you can always flash a good one later on)

Well I want to use it daily, using apps and stuff like that, but also want to develop. I thought to try for this low device until some better phone came, or even tablet, much faster and stronger, than that will be other story.

Actually,will ship:
The ZTE Open C has a 4-inch, 800x480 display, a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor, 3G networking; 1,400mAh battery, 512MB RAM, 2GB flash storage, and 3-megapixel camera. The Spanish carrier Telefonica will sell it in Venezuela and Uruguay in the second quarter of 2014, ZTE said.
The ZTE Open II has a 3.5-inch 480x320 display, dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 3G networking; 1,150mAh battery, 256MB RAM, 2GB flash storage, and 2-megapixel camera. Telefonica will sell this model in six countries
The Alcatel One Touch Fire S, the company's highest-end model, has 4G LTE networking, a 4.5-inch 960x540 IPS screen, a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and 2-megapixel front-facing camera, and support for near-field communications (NFC).
The Alcatel One Touch Fire E is a step down. It's also got a4.5-inch 960x540 screen, but not with in-plane switching, and its 1.2GHz processor is only a dual-core model. Its rear-facing camera has a 5MP resolution but its front-facing camera is only 0.3MP.
The Alcatel One Touch Fire C is the clear successor to 2013's model. Its 3.5-inch 480x320 screen is the same size, but it now is accompanied by a dual-core 1.2GHz processor. Its camera is pretty low-end, just a 0.3-megapixel model.
and DO NOT FORGET the 25$ model:
Allwinner A31 (1.2GHz); Cortex-A7 Quad-core, PowerVR 544MP2
4.5-inch screen (FWVGA 854×480 pixels)
Cameras: Rear: 5MP / Front: 2MP
3G UMTS quad-band (850/900/1900/2100)
8GB memory
256MB -1GB RAM (adjustable by developer)
A-GPS, NFC
Battery capacity: 1,800 mAh
Wi-fi: 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth, Micro USB
At the moment,iìm using my Alcatel OTF as main-daily-use phone,for twitter,mails,pictures,web-browsing,call&texting(+ Whatsapp),and i admit ,sometime he get me angry,but at least ,it's good,for a simple and daily use,but i recommend the 1.3 vers,1.4 it's buggy.

I know all about those new phones, It's kinda my job to know that.
Main reason why I'm not using as daily phone casue my main number is not in Telenor network (Thank God to that, they are most expensive here and yet give less free sms and minutes then other two) and in one shop they couldn't unlock it, whatever code they get it won't work, so I will wait little more and find new shop.
We already given up from Telenor relasing new version, believe me, they gonna relase 1.3 when 2.5 comes out. Mark my words.

I have a question about back up. Do I have to back up? Or can I simply root and then instal? I have no Idea hwo to back up image on Windows.

Firefox os
This is the first Time i've discovered this. When Will this be readily available in the U.S.? I can find the devices on amazon, but will they work with our carriers?

Thank you for your guide-resume
I was trying to build the latest Firefox OS master branch, but unfortunately, due to some issues, I can't do it for now.
Unfortunately, the builds which the blog Simpliculitico gives are modified ones;
I'd like a clean pure one;
can someone send/upload an allready built and unmodified master image for One Touch Fire? I have no friends who can send me one
Thank you so much *

I tried to follow the instructions and got help on irc to create the custom kennel for that dammed phone.
Two weekends later and i failed every single time.
Never got even a half working one.
Also the one from the blog is far from perfect...
I wouldn't keep my hopes up.

[SUCCESS] Interop-Unlocking LUMIA - with JTAG

Hi there
Well, as we really need Interop Unlock for our Lumia phones, i decided to check this out myself.
As i already have ATF Box for a long time, i decided to buy JTAG activation and dolphin clip + lumia jigs, that i do not have to solder my phone.
Also i have ordered a Lumia 520 testing phone on ebay.
So, as the ATF Team made an awesome JTAG software update, i'm trying to interop unlock that Lumia 520 the hardware way, as just software seems to be too tough...
Well, what i did so far:
1. Freshly flashed Lumia 520 RM-914 with latest stock rom
2. Did the setup/beginning after turning it on for 1st time
3. developer unlocked it with SDK on PC
4. Made Full Dump with JTAG from dev-unlocked phone
5. Mounted MainOS partition of dump with program "OSFMount" (-->appears as Local harddisk example drive E: )
6.Loaded the SOFTWARE hive with regedit on PC from "E:\Windows\System32\config"
7. Edited the following values:
PortalUrlInt = http://127.0.0.1
PortalUrlProd = http://127.0.0.1
MaxUnsignedApp = 10003
8. unloaded SOFTWARE hive
9. unmounted dump-image
10. wrote image back via jtag
I thought it might be a good Idea to dev-unlock the phone before messing with the registry, to make sure "DeveloperUnlockState = 1" gets written the "legal" way, as the key is not available in registry before.
Maybe it's better to just modify an existing key, than adding a new one...
Well, long story short: The result is not totally satisfying.
After writing the modified image back to the EMMC, the phone is booting up, but i can NOT deploy homebrew apps that require interop unlock, like @GoodDayToDies "EnableAllSideloading.xap" for example.
But i can deploy "nomal" apps like @cpuguys "Toastlauncher" and @GoodDayToDies "Webserver"
The weird thing: If i check the reg-values via WebServer on the Phone, i can see my edited values.
So the changes ARE written to the phone. The phone just doesn't use them...
So, the good thing: phone is booting with modified rom :good:
But, the bad thing: Changes are not working.
EDIT:
SUCCESS!!!

Also member @myst02 is working on interop-unlocking the lumia phones. So we decided to make this a together-project.
See his achievements here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713098&page=10 :good:

to be able to sideload EnableAllSideloading.xap you need to change following registry key:
Software\Microsoft\SecurityManager\CapabilityClasses
add: MultiSz String
name: ID_CAP_DEVELOPERUNLOCK_API
value: CAPABILITY_CLASS_THIRD_PARTY_APPLICATIONS
have fun.

I have found this during smurfing on the internet.
Dont know if this is something worth trying, but maybe it gives you some pointers or help.

Samsung Bootstrap uses some Samsung-specific DLLs as far as I know. This won't help you, tried this already on my Huawei Ascend W1. This won't work on your Lumia either I think. But its worth a try of course.
You'll have to edit the registry key I mentioned before to be able to sideload EnableAllSideloading.xap. You need to load the SOFTWARE file from Windows/System32/config again into your registry and edit following key. Maybe try using a registry editor on your phone before using the method you described above, but I don't think that this will work. So, you probably have no other choice than opening up your device again and edit the SOFTWARE reg-file. Then sideload EnableAllSideloading.xap and you'll be able to sideload pretty much everything you want.
Question for more experienced devs and hackers:
Is there a registry tweak or some settings anywhere else on the phone that we can access though JTAG and that allows us to boot the phone (Lumia in this case) as a mass storage device with full filesystem access? Like on the Huawei Ascend W1. This would simplify the process of changing registry keys a lot.
Best regards and good luck.

No. once JTAG halts the phone, it's halted. You can't just "pause" the phone, make changes and continue booting. Sadly.
So, only chance is by writing the modified dump back.

It's not for Lumia only, it's a universal method for every WP8 devices (including emulator) that could enter MassStorage mode
And the Bootstrap app is not a magic, it use the system service by Samsung to modify the CapabilityClasses registry key mentioned by above and this could be done by modify reg hive directly

exactly. I have done this on my Ascend W1 several times, but its easier, because I can enter Mass Storage Mode through bootloader.

I don't know how JTAG method works exactly, I only know that the device needed isn't cheap and can restore bricked phones. How it works? I have no idea, but I'm sure I'll learn quickly.
I will do some research on that soon. I'm a learning noob. :cyclops:

Most credits go to X-Shadow from advance-box team.
Because i had the Idea of modifying the phone dump and read/write via JTAG.
But usually, ATF only supported bootloader repair via JTAG. So i contacted X-Shadow and within only two weeks he updated the jtag-application, and added Custom Read/Write to every part of the EMMC.
That's how i could dump the rom, modify it and write it back.
Absolutely awesome work from that team, just releasing a software because of ONE single inquiry. :good::good::good:

Aw crap, I totally forgot to tell you to test a pure-interop app (like the bootstrap one). You interop-unlocked but failed to capability-unlock, and most WP8 homebrew requires both so of course you couldn't sideload it. DERP
But hey, if you successfully edited the capability class of ID_CAP_DEVELOPERUNLOCK_API - and it looks like you did, or could - then you can use EnableAllSideloading to capability-unlock the phone (it just edits all the other capabilities' classes). I could probably also write a "BootstrapNokia" app if you'd like; I think we have interop-based registry functions for WP8 Lumias, which would allow (for example) making SamWP8 Tools work on your Nokia as well.

SamWP8 tools on Nokia would be great.
I'll check that monday evening, when i'm back at my computer.
I'll keep you informed

Lumia 1520 Starting work on custom ROM !

Hi Everyone !!
Work on the first custom rom WP8 for Huawei w1 been completed successfully .
Time for something new !
I would like to announce that I start work on Custom ROM for nokia lumia 1520. First attempt at flashing the modified file ffu done successfully .
Unfortunately, in another attempt something went wrong. I switched the phone in Download mode, QPST can repair the phone but I dont have appropriate files (currently). I have Riff Box JTAG but this programator does not support L1520 and i need ATF jtag.
I'll keep you informed about the progress !! :fingers-crossed:
I collect money for the ATF and the new phone, otherwise I can't continue to work. In the future, project will be developed for many other devices with WP8.

Interesting. First of all: Congrats on the succesfull flash,
second of all: I hope you can resurrect your Lumia 1520 how did you get the 1520 to accept the modified rom though? Though Lumias check the signature after the flashing process has completed?

Thanks for congrats
I can ressurect my lumia in 2 ways:
1. I need have repair boot files for QPST
2. I need AFT JTAG
I have methods to cheat the verification process. In the same way I did in Huawei W1. :victory:
These are my priorities:
1. Development and refinement the ability to flash the modified FFU file.
2. Ability to run the phone in mass storage mode
3. Modification software
4. Adapting WP8CRUU for Luma 1520

Getting the boot files might be the trickier method, but you could try what I described in your other post. I guess the ATF Box is your best chance. I'll look through the 1520 update cabs maybe theres something in there that'll help you build the mbn boot image, like on htcs. (which are, for the 8s encrypted, for the 8x not, as far as I know.) If you feel okay with it you can shoot me a message with tips on how you managed to do that, if not, that's not a problem

Are you reading this thread: http://www.coolxap.com/forum-199-1.html ?
I received a lot of information about huawei w1 on this site. When read about it in December 2013.

Actually if the verification bypass works (which, knowing MS's tight security on Nokias, I highly doubt), it just needs to be released as a method, and after that, anyone can make their own custom ROM.
I'd definitely make some changes to the system (clear out some default apps, add some of my own, change the accent colours, allow interop and other caps to any apps, increase custom app limit), but that would break the built-in system updater. So beware modders, DO NOT use official updates when on modded firmware!

Hi,
I have an ATF Box (lordmaxey & me interop unlocked our Lumias with it, do you remember me ) and would like to help you. Feel free to PM me
Another question, did you just modify the .ffu file via Hex Editor? I've tried it myself a long time ago, but it didn't work and I had to repair it with my ATF. Is there a bug in newer Nokia FFU files?

Flashing the custom ROM is not hard, so I would give it a try
Just be sure you don't touch boot partitions, so you will be able to boot into flashmode
On L520, I could simply flash ANY ffu using CareSuite, so flashing works, just need idea, what to change in ROM

How are you able to bypass signature checking though? Funny how on Lumias you can apparently edit the MainOS Partition but cannot touch the Boot ones, and on HTC it's exactly the reverse.

Guys ... the only barrier that separates us from the Custom ROM are 2 files that i need to create and adapt to the device. I mean MPRG8974.mbn ((hex) and msimage8974.mbn . Anyone who has knowledge on this topic, please help !!

Okay, good, Are you sure that your phone will not reject the file when it encounters an error?
How do you think why was invented HSPL ?
For Huawei just enough to crack the flash tool in PC to be able to upload an unsigned app / ffu file. Phone does not validate the data but Huawei is different story. While working on the Custom ROM I used QPST with MPRG ,MSIMAGE, xml's and other files. JTAG also be useful. Without QPST not have been possible creating Custom ROM for Huawei.
Therefore necessary there is start working on the most needed things.

Do you think it is that simple? If yes, where are the custom roms? Where these modified files? Of course there are tools to build files ffu, signing and opening them, but they are not available for "ordinary" people.

I know it's not easy and simple and I know there's at least one tool to create and edit ffu files and it's also not public but i thought he developed a FFU Editor app ! or he flashed Custom Rom many times !

I have used HxD hex editor to find the partition headers, then used OSFMount to mount them. You can either mount a part of the ffu, or copy the partition to a separate image
As far as I know (my bricked 520 proves it) SoC's built-in ROM checks the first partition's signature using the public key in Q-Fuse, so let's crack RSA and stuff like that. SPL/HSPL was used to load CE, NT on ARM uses UEFI

Unfortunately I have no JTAG box (riff , atf and etc.)
I will look for way you provide and check it .
I have to find someone with JTAG in Mashad,Iran . Is there anyone ?

it is necessary to learn how to create MPRG / MSIMAGE and use QPST Then jtag will not be needed. These files are obtained by reading the data from the memory EMMC in this case VHD would be the best solution.

OK OK your way worked
I could create 3 Partitions from my L920 (RM-821) Rom .
I couldn't access MainOS partition in this ROM .
sounds good to find this working way but need to work on it hours and hours .

Once found something like MPRG in ffu

I do not know if this is true, but MPRGXXXX.bin or MPRG.hex (Intel hex) suitable for many devices. Msimage is built only for the appropriate device.
@WojtasXda : Are you using caresuite to flash the rom, or do you have another tool?
Click to expand...

Yes i have own tools for example WP8RUU or WP8CRUU

Things that might be of interest to a custom ROM developer:
* I've just made big progress in figuring out how capabilities work on the phone. Setting them via custom ROM is definitely one of the easier ways it might be done, if you can create arbitrary registry keys and set arbitrary values in them.
* One particularly valuable thing you could add to a non-Samsung ROM is the RPC driver/service/whatever that lets Samsung's RCPComponent library work. I don't know how hard it would be to hack that in, though. The binaries and the registry keys for the service shouldn't be hard to obtain, but I don't know if there will be problems with signatures or anything. Still, if you can get it working, this would mean that Samsung homebrew, and everything we can do with it (such as write arbitrary places in the registry and move files around as SYSTEM) becomes available on the 1520.
Somewhat relatedly, I find myself in need of a new phone (I think my ATIV S may be unrecoverable, and it wasn't even due to a hack I was doing!) and this piques my interest in getting a 1520...

feherneoh said:
Also (just an idea) RT certificates could be added. Maybe some(!) RT apps could run on the phones
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
These apps work now on WP8.1
wp8.1 supports appx and appxbundle formats so we don't have problem with running them on phones .
If you mean running apps like Multimedia 8 on phone I think we will run into resolution problem .

Not going to happen. First of all, the ported desktop apps only work when signature enforcement is off ("jailbroken") even *on RT*; until/unless we get a signature bypass for WP8 that's a complete non-starter.
The other major problem is that all the base libraries for RT are different than for WP. This extends all the way down to the really core stuff like Kernel32.DLL; RT (like normal Windows) has one, but WP8 doesn't (the functions are split into kernelbase.dll and kernel32legacy.dll). Then there's all the code (like support for the normal desktop interface) that WP8 just flat out doesn't have.
I'm not saying it's impossible to get RT code running on WP8... but it's probably easier to port the entire RT OS to the phone (which is *not* easy, but is possible) than it is to get RT software running on WP8 OS.

No, it isn't bad. But usually when someone makes a tool it has a high level of flexibility and the program is usually very dynamic. Yours is like 100% static. It's like written in stone what the program is going to execute so that makes this program not user-friendly at all. To be honest with you, it's a nice try. I mean it proves you know and know how to use various batch functionalities. But it's nothing to write home about. I'd suggest diving into something like Java or Python and let the user decide more options so eventually you have a dynamic, but very robust tool for people to use.

keep plugging away at it add as much functionality as you want, people just like to troll and down anybody on the 'net but would never have the balls to do it IRL.
Ive been around this forum since before android and have seen it grow, I wish people would be more appreciative and troll less, maybe this tool isnt for you, but it may be just what somebody else is looking for....
I know how to root and have done it many times, Im about to root a bullhead and im glad this tool is here, why do it by hand if somebody else automated it?

im on linux atm so no i havent tried it, if the toolkit isnt working just do it manually, follow a walk thru to the letter take your time, as long as u follow instructions for your build you will be fine(settings>about phone>build number.... mine is NBD90W which is 7.0 security patch level 0ct. 5,2016)
doing a root tutorial that matches your build will prevent most if not all of the hiccups that can come from incompatibilities in roms that are more complex than a noobie rooter needs to know.

Does it work on 7.1.1 (N4F26I)?
Thanks!
