Hey,
I'm sure you've heard about the rumored chinese "jailbreak" for the 920, and that it most likely was a scam. However, someone on WPCentral posted that it now is a reality (source: http://forums.wpcentral.com/softwar...0-jailbreak-lumia-finally-here-21-1-14-a.html), with these two links: http://www.silenstd.com/silenall/silentech/jailbreak920/ and http://www.silenstd.com/silenall/silentech/highxap/
is there anyone capable of chinese who could explain what they are saying there? I still have some hope left the only thing I found was the WPHTweaks xap that still needs interop services specified in the WMAppManifest, so it can't be deployed (obviously) and can't be the "jailbreak". So if anyone could tell me what they're basically saying there that would be great
Would love to see one of our local experts here on XDA to take a look over this to know if it is any good AND is it only for the 920, will it work on the 928 (claimed same phone with some upgrades to hardware)....
Yes, we know, it has already been discussed in this thread but it's locked down, because it were mere rumors as it is now. The Xap is a renamed version of WPH Tweaks by jessenic, which needs interop-unlock to be able to deployed in the first place. As the great GoodDaytoDie once said :
That's because it is simply the official WPH Tweaks app, just with the XAP file renamed. There's nothing special about it at all, and the poster who talked about installing it on a Lumia was probably just being an idiot (again, unless the Chinese have some jailbreak that the rest of us don't know about).

And ultrashot pointed out that the device in the video is probably an Lumia engineering phone without the blown J-TAG fuses (on retail phones they are blown) so a RIFFBox hack could be applied to engineering phone (not applicable to retail phones) and interop-unlock could be achieved this way.
I see that now after getting a translator. It was posted around like it was a new link....Sigh....got my hopes up a little, I got a Nokia phone but, it stinks there is not at least a Interop unlock for it...
Maybe Samsung will release a better phone for Verizon that can be unlocked...
Yeah, no its probably not going to happen anytime soon. CDMA requires extra care and OEMs won't go out of their way to make it happen along with Verizon doing who knows with the 929/Icon to be released. Just look how long it took to release the 928.
i 'am from China,maybe i can give you some informations.
As I know. The team called poansoul,announced that they can jailbreak for Lumia 920,on a forum,only a forum,I can't find any other information about their jailbreak on other forums.i doubt that whether they could succeed. But , according to this team,they said,they had jailbreaked ,but isn't perfect,because,the jailbreak process is similar to imperfect jailbreak on Lumia 800,they'll not release the jailbreak until the jailbreak is perfect. &,people focus on wp8.1 more ,rather than jailbreak. Sorry for my poor English.

I talked with Some body on this group .
He tell me that he used a Hardware way to Jailbreak and they are working on a software way .
I also heard this news.But,,,

But,at least,I think they can release some details about the Hardware way to jailbreak,but we can't.And ,they also announced one day the'll release it before,but they break their words,at least,they did not release it ,let us down over and over.so,may people don't believe it,they would like to looking forward to wp8.1 rather than jailbreak.

Yes, that sounds realistic. I guess they used JTAG Method.
I opened up a thread in ATF support forum here: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f609/qualcomm-bootloader-wp8-lumias-1765873/
and if i may quote product-supporter X-Shadow:
@lordmaxey
Most retail phones including Nokia have m_debug_all blown... But with some
simple well known technique, you can bypass this as to enable JTAG debug and
memory access.
There are no "modified boots" because WP8 Lumias all use SECURE BOOT 3.0.
Well as Lumia 800, 900 and 710 did not implement secure boot at all (fuse not bl0wn).
So in reality, you can put android in 800, 900 and 710 if you really wanted to.... but the
same cannot be said when it comes to WP8.
I am working on a QFUSE hack as of this moment. But still too early to say what can be
achieved.

So, i don't think the "JTAG-hack" can only be applied to engineering phones without that blown fuse...
There's still hope.
If they only would release their stuff, i could try the jtag hack with my lumia 920 and my atf box.
Would be fun
I think they use Riff

I was able to deploy it, but it asked for wp7 tools??

Statement: Informations relating jailbreak is now not ready to be released. According to the POANDSOUL team, the jailbreak is still in progress now, while there are a lot of work not done yet. They have invited a small number of users and developers to their close test. And we are sorry that this stage is still not suitable for the public beta. As a news media, Silen Tech has already tried everything we can to report, but the release of a tutorial without proper jailbreak tools is surely out of the question. Therefore, please be patient until the release of jailbreak by the POANDSOUL team.
I don't think there will ever be a software "jailbreak" for Lumias.
There might be a hardware-solution, but just unlocking with usb is way more difficult.

I wonder if it would be possible to replace the SoC and get unblown fuses. Apparently they can be ordered pretty cheap from china.

I believe there's a pad of a resistor near the chip that needs to either be pulled to ground during reset, or pulled high after reset.
Hello everyone, there are many costum rom based on sd 808, there are no solutions to port this rom to lumia 950 knowing that they are turning on same chipset like LG G4 ?

My first Android phone was a Windows Mobile originally. Never stop dreaming.
With the WPinternals project getting a reboot I hope for nice Lumia 950 XL ROMs, preferably a stock Android 7/8 with working cameradrivers.
Hello all, I am looking at buying a 950.
I have been and Android guy for years just boared & looking for something less mainstream.
I don't use that many apps, I prefer web site for security. Does this phone get security patches or is windows 10 mobile dead ? I use a chuwi dual boot tablet and just curious it this get updates?
Cheers,

Is there a more active site for windows phones ?

Hey,
I have a Microsoft Lumia 540 Dual Sim. Since support for Windows Phone is ending, wanted to do something to make it unique I guess like custom ROM for instance.
Found the WPI link. But the link doesn't work now as I am getting parsing error. Plus I don't think it supports Lumia 540.
So yeah, drop me your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. First post. Go easy on me.
Hello All,
I have almost a brand new device that working just fine, I want to know if there is anyway to use this device again ?
Not as a windows phone device of course but is there any upgrade/convert can be done to the device to make it usable again ? even as a entertainment device not a functional phone.
Thanks in advance
Appreciated

Install android on Lumia 950 XL?
Is this possible? Will it be possible? I tried googling for a bit and didnt really come up with any hits so that kinda leads me to believe that as of now its not possible but how about in the future? I am new to the Windows mobile "scene"...

I put Windows 11 on my test Lumia and found out how useless it is. I don't want to think what massacre Android is doing on this hardware.
