My ATIV S racked up 4GB in other storage and I only have 1GB left memory so is there a way to clean up the other storage, from either an XAP file or file explorer?
It's certainly *possible* with the full filesystem access, but I'm not sure where to look. That's the problem; we need to *find* anything in order to delete it.
Wrong forum, should be moved to Q&A.
2 TS: try to clean browser cache first, and check again...
This is an interesting topic.
Unlocked WP7 had CacheCleaner, WP8 Lumias and HTCs can do that by default... And Samsung WP8 are the only who can't!
It may be interesting for the future to have an app similar to CacheCleaner!

your wrong!
lumia devices and HTC Devices only can delete temporary files not Other Storage!
temp files are also about 0-100 MB but other storage gets at least 300 MB and it comes up to 3GB or 4GB!
Lumia and HTC devices are not able to clean that
as i mentioned only you can clean up temp files
To be honest, ALL of the files in Data partition except that in Public folder and programs folder are in "Other".

it means that if we get a file via bluetooth but windows phone can't detect the file type it will make our phone storage full.
or when we get files from net it will stored but we can't delete them at all.

I may put this problem into the first place in my research about wp8 jailbreak. I really wanna know what MS has done to have made our disk space so easy to be filled with cache.
maybe I will publish a cache clearer here as soon as possible after heathcliff74's policy engine hack is done..
before that, maybe a full registry browser and editor will be my target, including some tweaks specially designed for WP8 or from WP7.
I'm still wondering how much it can do with GoodDayToDie's registry library after the ID_CAP_DEVELOPERUNLOCK_API was added.:laugh:
ID_CAP_DEVELOPERUNLOCK_API just enables writing to the section of HKLM which is responsible for app policies; it's very handy, to be sure, but it doesn't actually give you any write access to the *rest* of the system. There are a ton of other capabilities, though, and many of them unlock chunks of the registry... sometimes large ones.
I need to write a tool that does a really proper job of mapping the capabilities to permissions that they enable, and vice versa. So you could, for example, say "I need access to <PATH>" and it would tell you the capability required.

you have to backup your Phone and try.
I think this Other storage files include : Temporary Internet Files, Maybe Store Cache (Softwares you start download them but you don't complete the installation or screenshots of apps and other things), maybe app data !
for example your alarms or your saved games and your settings .
I do not surely know them even i test .

I might have misunderstood that ..
how many capabilities are related to registry?is it possible to enable them all in one app? I want to write an registry editor and browser so that I can do some researches into the registry more conveniently. Maybe more of the registry operation will be able to be done on device.

What exactly did you edit in the manifest?, because I could run this app on my L925 but only after removing the OEM capability.
I would like to edit the same on the other apps and try running them.

The problem is, by default, you shouldn't be able to uninstall the app, as it is set by default, as assigned to the app's unique id.
I have reattached the app, with a new app ID, the only problem now is that you cannot uninstall the old one.

The original post reads like you took the new apps, from Windows Phone 8.1, and made them to be installed on Windows Phone 8.0.
Is that correct?
If it is, why?
Doesn't everyone think the Games and Music + Videos apps, from Windows Phone 8.0, are better than their 8.1 variants?
Maybe I'm reading it backwards and you actually got the old apps working on the new OS.
If that's the case, thank you...

how did you manage to get the xap??

i tried to copy xap found in phone internals but could not deploy it.
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!!!
After adding

i could successfully sideload "EnableAllSideloading.xap"
After executing enableallsideloading i could sideload latest WPHTweaks build.
Now i have 3rd tile row enabled!
awesome!
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.

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

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 .

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.

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.
I see a lot of tools for installing fastboot/adb easily on your PC but I havent found any updated how-to's that show you how to install it manually using Google newest fastboot/adb binary they release separately from the SDK tools. So i wanted to fix that! We will be adding their locations as Environmental paths in cmd. This all will be shown on Windows 10
To start off, download the fastboot/adb bianarys from the xda article below (writen by Mishaal Rahman back in January)
XDA Article with fastboot links
- Extract the fastboot/adb binary fold "platform-tools" to a out of the way folder (I recommend a folder named "Android" in the root of the C drive like so C:\Android\)

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Goto Control Panel> System and Security > System
- Under "Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings" click "Change settings"
- From this new window go to the "Advanced" tab then at the bottom click "Environment Variables"
- In the new window under the "System Variables" section, double click "Path"
- In this window click "New" and put in the location of your platform-tools folder we extracted and put aside earlier
- (Example: Mine looks like C:\Android\platform-tools)
- Press enter and it should be the newest entry at the bottom.
- Click okay and REBOOT YOUR PC
- Now you have to latest fastboot/adb binary installed system wide!
Test this by just pressing the windows key and type cmd. in the command line type "fastboot" This should return you with all the other available fastboot commands.
Feel free to ask any questions!
thanks , thats very helpful

websearch should suffice for an XDAer (e.g. to stuff like https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide.html#on-linux ), esp for choice since can be distro-dependent (could be "sudo apt-get install android-sdk-platform-tools" on Ubuntu & derivatives). HTH
Good work.
Thank you.
That is alot of work when just dropping the needed files in the main Windows directory will do the same thing without the instability of variables.

There is a risk that any files placed into the main Windows directory will be lost when Windows is upgraded, because the way a Windows 10 upgrade works these days is to effectively create a new Windows installation. The previous main Windows directory is renamed 'Windows.old' before being deleted automatically after 30 days.
So far, there have been 3 new upgrade versions of Windows 10 since the RTM was launched in July 2015 (1507):
November 2015 (1511)
July 2016 (1607)
March 2017 (1703)

Your instructions were as they should have been. Detailed. If you so it this way, this is the way it should be done.
I just never recommend messing with the variables in a windows system. They can be temperamental at best. I also forgot about the windows 10 update setup (even though having to recopy the dlls to the windows directory a few times a year is not to bad if you think about it.)

That's understandable!
I haven't had to many issues as long as I maintain the Android work space.
It's definitely not that hard only a few times a year. But I'm on the technical builds so the updates to windows 10 roll in almost weekly right now.
Come to think of it it might not be bad to add your point and method to the OP

There is a quicker way to get straight to the "Advanced" tab on the "System Properties" dialog - simply choose "Advanced system settings" in the left hand column of the previous screen (System) instead of "Change settings".
Also, you can quickly get to the previous screen (System) without going via Control Panel, by pressing Windows key + [Pause/Break] keys together.

Hello forum,
after digging around in plenty of places:
the screen of my S10+ (G975F) does not turn off, during phone calls. it used to work for a while, when i bought it, but one day it stopped.
testing with *#77692# shows a working sensor.
installing Lineage OS 17, i find it working normally. but Lineage is no go, as with the poor coverage here at home, i depend on Voice over WiFi.
so i assume, it's software, not hardware.
i tried about all updates from Samsung, until now, apart from G975FXXU4CTC9. As i read, that there are some quirks with TWRP, i hesitate to install this, as the downgrade isn't possible, after my understanding.
i found out that deactivating google playstore and everything xy.setup keeps the sensor working. it stops, after connecting to playstore and doing updates. so i still think it is definitely not hardware. but what else could be the cause ?
did someone else come across this problem and eventually really solve it ?
thanks for Your help

Check in setting/running apps,
some apps are using the sensor so you are getting this problem.
If you cannot fix this problem then try wiping cache only not data.

I wiped everything about a dozen times. it happens after fresh install, when google is doing its first setups and updating the playstore/framework. and also in safe mode, where no apps should be involved.
the only way not to have it, is to deactivate everything "google" and "setup" without SIM and WLAN. re-activating them, later, leads to the same problem again. no additional apps installed.

If you have a perfectly working custom ROM or stock ROM then from that rom get
system/lib/hw/sensor.so file something like that and replace the folder that you currently have
And make sure you put the permission as rw-r-r

it is not correct because when you replace the file your device will reboot but no worries

in fact, it is very hard to get rid of it. resetting the phone, wiping whatever, reflashing, changing version or region of OS don't help at all, custom ROMs neither. aborting a flash, or flashing the wrong firmware neither. the only thing that helped this time, was to insert another simcard.
but after installing two more apps this morning (3C Toolbox and Nova Launcher) the problem is there again.
but this time the SIM-card trick doesn't help. uninstalling the two apps neither. this seems to work only once.
i think i will start from scratch i.e. re-lock/unlock bootloader ...

yes rooting and flashing custom roms means having too many bugs.
And Even sometimes the official software updates have bugs.
No one except the rom developer can fix the problem.
The method that i told you was for fixing general bugs of sensors and camera.
The android is a complex coded Operating System and is attached to every files and empty folder and also if the empty folders are deleted then it will start many proplems.

this and nothing else does help right now. even going to stock with locked bootloader. the phone screen stays on. it only works in lineage OS.
update:
got it working again, by 1st doing an improper rooting i.e. flash stock and then not let it boot up
2nd try to flash the patched AP which aborts 3. flash stock again and root it properly.
then delete all the settings from what's called "setup", "update" and so on - all what is being done at 1st. start. then deactivate all those apps, do another reset from menu, but not boot to TWRP, where the reset will be completed. all this was done without network and playstore and with no simcard.
i don't know at what point it started working again, but right know, it does. will set it up properly now, as i expect it to be working after setup. it will only stop tonite around 05:20 CET --- i hope.
don't know if all this clarifies anything ...
