vcREG is a registry editor for lumia windows phones that has SYSTEM level access to the registry. the tool also has the ability to unlock all app capabilities for third party apps(interop unlock), and give SYSTEM level access to most of the filesystem through MTP.
new in version 1.7: thanks to @gus33000 for pointing out some registry values set for the interop unlock that may cause versions of rs1+ to break compatibility with WP8 apps. this has been fixed. For interop unlock, i suggest you use @gus33000 Interop Tools as his tool is more likely to have better support for changes in the future, as i am too bogged down with other projects.
thanks to @Wack0Distractor for sharing the idea and the acer service that makes this unlock for the X50 series phones possible. also thanks to @ngame for providing the test devices and the many hours of debugging, and @djamol for the main reason any of these unlocks are possible.
Instructions for X50 series phones like the 550,950/XL
ndtk_acer_services.zip uploaded below contains acer.service.acersystemservice.spkg, NdtkSvc.dll, and newndtksvc.dll.
1.Go to settings and turn on developer mode.
2a. For APPX version, download vcregUWP_1.7+dependencies.zip,unzip, install dependencies, then install the vcreg appx
2b. For XAP version, Sideload vcREG_1_7.xap using
WP8 xap deployer
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\XAP Deployment\Xapdeploy.exe
or
WP Power Tools
https://wptools.codeplex.com/
3.Go to the app bar, then choose x50 series unlock. You will receive an error about the acer service not running. That's ok for now. Click step 1 and it will tell you to install the acer system service and copy some files. To install the acer system service, use iutool [rs and newer builds,this version is essential,old versions will probably not work] (can be found here. thanks @Wack0Distractor ).
run this command as administrator
iutool -v -p "path to the file acer.service.acersystemservice.spkg"
if you receive error 0x80070490, disconnect your phone from usb, go to control panel on your pc, devices and printers, find your windows phone and remove device. reconnect the usb to your phone,and after it reinstalls the drivers automatically, run iutool command above again.
if you receive error 0x8024a110, your phone should reboot to the gears UI in a minute. if not, run the command again. if it still doesnt auto reboot, manually reboot your phone. It should reboot into the gears UI, then back into the OS. if it still fails and doest show gears, give you phone a rest for 5-10 minutes and retry(usually needed after a new rom flash).
4.When you're back in the phone OS, copy newndtksvc.dll and ndtksvc.dll to your documents folder on your phone through USB
5.Go to the app bar, then choose x50 series unlock. You should no longer receive the error about the acer service. Now click step 2 and follow the rest of the instructions from the app.
6.If you've taken the silent extras/advanced+info update, or updated that app manually, be sure to choose the option "Restore NDTK 950/XL" in the "x50 series unlock" page and reboot to regain access to the elevated features. It basically means if it suddenly stops working, apply this setting.
Instructions for older devices

@G.moe, what kind of documentation are you looking for? Have you tried to press large gray buttons saying "CLICK TO SHOW CONTENT" at @vcfan post? :laugh:
Or you are looking for the source code and hack method concept? Use reflector or any other .net disasms to get the app's sources
Thanks works fine.
I have trying MTP and now 950 XL charging only on PC.
Someone have original values in registry?

Guys in the video I recorded I tell do not try mtp hack it won't work also sftp doesn't work at least for me. If we can handle it at last we let you know.
Only concentrate on Interop and capability unlock and public registry hacks.
Also you can add work with gloves and double tap to your devices .
We are still working on many things to handle

Double check this registry value using CustomPFD
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
PhoneManufacturer
It must be in type (String) and it's value should be ACERINC to be able to deploy acer spkg.
If it's not you didn't do Step1 of VCreg correctly .
OK.
If you get 0x8024a110, you're probably on 14393 / anniversary update / Redstone1/whatever.
If so, you NEED to use iutool from the 14393 WDK. No ifs, no buts. Use that or you WILL get that error.
Here's a download of just the WP-tools (iutool, getdulogs, ffu creation etc etc) direct from MS: https://download.microsoft.com/down...5524A95/wdk/Installers/WP_CPTT_NT-x86-fre.msi
Mirrored it here just in case.
Works again for me.
I am stupid because "acer.service.acersystemservice.spkg" still installed after H.R.

OH Yes guys . Good to say
After Hard reset you do not need to do many reboots because our ndtksvc is place in system32 (it didn't gone)
So you only need to go to x50 series page and check Live interop/cap unlock and apply it . that's it .

installed and run iutool and now get gears!!!! thanks!!!
p.s.
interop is applied but.. still no use of AppDataManageTool or Adblock tool???
Great work!
Random question, probably a dumb one, but does this work on the M8FW? Or is it dependent on a x50 device exploit? Cause maybe I'm reading this wrong but it seems kinda universal
Thanks A lot!!!!
@dxdy
"Adblock tool" use "Nokia.SilentInstaller.Runtime" who seems not working on x50.

It's not intended for non-Microsoft/Nokia devices. NdtkSvc.dll is Nokia/Microsoft specific.....

Been trying everything on the Internet and managed to make some headway with Monet (Virgin Lobster 700tv) unlock (this might work for Meteor/C700 as well).
1. Firstly you need to get rid of the 'registry security policy' lock.
Download cert install sp.zip:
[see attachment]
a. copy "SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab" to the root of Monet memory or card
b. Use file explorer on monet to navigate to file. Click to run. Should run ok.
c. Unzip "SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip" on PC and run "SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe" whilst Monet is connected via activesync
2. Copy registry editor onto Monet. I used PHM, but others should work. Note install PHM loader on PC whilst monet is connected via activesync. It might install correctly on Monet, it might not. This does not matter. Just navigate on your PC to Program Files\phm and find the .exe file and copy to root of Monet memory or card.
Also nice free remote registry editor here (works from PC whilst phone is connected via activesync):
http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
Excellent 'free' combined file explorer and registry editor (perhaps for later - after app. unlock) SGS:
http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...925777&Ntt=registry&productId=195244&R=195244
3. Using phm (or the registry app you like) change the four keys specified in this guide (you might find the above process has already reset 1001 and 101b:
http://wiki.spv-developers.com/HTC_Application_Unlock_Guide
They are:
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies:
a. Change the DWORD named "1001" to 1 (could originally be 2)
b. Change the DWORD named "1005" to 40 (could originally be 16)
c. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1017 = 128 or 16 (before) 144 (after)
d. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 101b = 1 (this key might not exist, if so, create it).
4. Restart
5. HOORAY. Now your phone is fully application unlocked.
-----the following procedure is to SIM Unlock, this currently does not work. Possibly spv-services will be updated at some time to work with the Monet---->
6. Now download spv_services:
http://www.spv-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=236
a. copy the cert.cab file to you Monet. Select and run using File explorer. it should run fine.
b. Next step. Run SPV_services from PC whilst phone still connected via Activesync. Should unlock ..... however I get checksum error....
Will investigate. Anyone have any luck please say. At least we can now get the phone app.unlocked.
------------------------->
Note: I have read that the phone might again become app.locked if you do a hard reset. If this is the case, just follow the above again.

SPV-Services needs to access the internet.
A php is an active type of web page.
It would appear that there is something blocking it from access the internet. Most probably a firewall on your PC, either the internal windows one, or a 3rd party package you have installed. You need to check this.
If its for the Monet I wouldn't bother anyhow as SPV-Services can not currently SIMunlock this phone.

1st thing i checked was the firewall..
i know wat a php is i run a phpbb forum and yea it is a Monet (lobster 700)..
shame ( i really need to unlock the networks on it ) i have an O2 sim and wen i put it in it askes for a network unlock code.. if only i had that code.. any idea how to obtain it?
the only way currently is to use virgin or a commercial service
If you put at least £30 of talk time on your virgin account, they will send you the unlock code for free.
Otherwise search google or this forum for a commercial unlocking service.

Application Unlock for HTC Monet
Hi colonel
I have been trying in vain to do an application unlock on my Lobster 700tv. I have managed to install and run the "SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab" which went ok. The "SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe" also ran ok. However, running PHM required a copy to be placed on the Monet which I did. Attempting to run the "setup.exe", gave the following message:
"ALERT: Setup is Not a Valid Windows CE Application"
Because of this, I attempted to change the registry keys using "Mobile Registry Editor.exe" which seemed to do the job. However, applications still wont work (I'm trying to install TomTom Navigator 6).
I have since managed to load and run "MobileRegistryEditor.exe" on my phone without problems but I still cannot get TomTom Navigator 6 to run, although it loads onto the storage card ok.
Please can you help?
Regards,
leadweight

Lobster headache
Hi bocsta
I had problems to start with but I had failed to read colonel's instructions correctly. I couldn't get PHM to run on my phone so I tried some of colonel's other suggestions. I found that "SGS Explorer" did load ok and I used its registry editor to change the registry keys as listed. I am assuming that my phone is now unlocked but TomTom Navigator 6 will not run.
Can someone please help before I throw my lobster back in the sea?

If it fails and you still have the Zip file that you unzipped originally cann you please PM it to me ?
Thanks
Yeap thats right! I confirm that it works just fine..In Cyprus is not Official yet but we can make it work here and of course on any country thanks to the guy who made it!
here's how it goes:
First download and install the free Zune software from Microsoft.
Having done that, click on the Start button or orb and in the search box type regedit and hit Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.
Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Zune\Features
Here double-click on Marketplace – you will see the codes of the following countries:
AT,AU,BE,CA,CH,DE,ES,FR,GB,IE,IT,MX,NL,NZ,SG,US
You will see the same value data for Apps and SignInAvailable too.
Now one after the other, in each of these three – Marketplace, Apps, SignInAvailable, modify the value data, by adding your Country code.
I just write CY (Cyprus)
It should now look like this:
AT,AU,BE,CA,CH,DE,ES,FR,GB,IE,IT,MX,NL,NZ,SG,US,CY
Exit regedit.
NOW connect your Windows Phone to your Windows Computer.
Your Zune software will automatically start and you will be alerted with a following message:
FEATURES HAVE CHANGED!
Click OK.
You will see the Marketplace tab too now, in your Zune software.
Here not only can you download Free apps, you can also BUY the Paid apps, legally!
Select the App you want and click on the FREE button to install it. If its a Paid app, you can choose to Try it first or Buy it directly.
There is one hitch. The next time you connect your Windows Phone, you may not see the Marketplace option. This means that you will have to modify the registry every time you connect it. I have therefore created this registry file which I first double-click on, to add its contents to my Windows registry, and then connect my Windows Phone to my Windows 7 computer.
ALSO CHECK WP7 MARKET PLACE ENABLER:
Do note that, you may have to first run the Enabler, before, every time you connect your Windows Phone.
works like a charm!!!!

no features in zune folder here as welll
yes same problem, kindly respond
You can download free apps only, you can't buy paid apps.
Because you have to register a credit card that was issued from a country which already supported WP7
I've been into this before
Thats strange guys... I have the Features folder in the registry!
Try and add it by yourselves.. Try to sign in into Zune...let it update and then close it in order to make this tweak! If you still can not find it please create the values in regedit! Go to regedit then HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Zune\ and create a key inside Zune...Now call it Marketplace and then open it..Now on the right side just create a string value and put inside you country code... Try reopen Zune...
Have you tried the MARKET PLACE ENABLER????

Try reopen Zune...
Have you tried the MARKET PLACE ENABLER????

I had the same problem but I did the market place enabler first but it returned a message that some features may not work. It went on run and I saw the message FEATURES HAVE CHANGED. I connected my phone but didn't see the market tab. I'm still trying.
However, I checked the Regedit and this time the features folder was there and my country already added! I didn't have to enter it.
Market place enabler will do the trick! try and download a free application and tell me if it's working!

ok, it now works. The trick/(s)? I logged off my pc and signed in as adminstrator. I run the market enabler without issues this time, connected my phone, zune lauched automatically and viola! market place tab is there for me to start exploring. I have that belief though that we will not be able to buy cos the credit card will tell the region from which you are and return errors but who in the first place thought we'd have windows 7 on this hd2? That is therefore small a problem that I know someone on xda will solve some day...thanks
Glad it worked for you also bro! You can now download free applications with no problem at all!
I haven't checked the paid apps because i never buy anything! LOL!
Good luck!
Do note that, you may have to first run the Enabler, before, every time you connect your Windows Phone.

To activate features, create a new Key at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Zune named "FeaturesOverride", then create DWORD (32-bit) values inside the key "FeaturesOverride" with the following names, "Marketplace" and "SignInAvailable" setting their value to “1” to turn them on.
I tryed ewerything and still cant go to market place. It keeps saying
``marketplace is not available in your country/region.``
if someone can help me i appreciate

i did everything, but when i try to download an free up, it forces me to sign in, but i don't have a zune account and nor can i create one in greece i use my hotmail and a blank terms and conditions page appears. no matter what i press, i get the same error: can't submit your acceptance....blah blah blah check your internet connection. oh, and when i try to create an account directly from the program after i enter all the info, it will simply get stuck at the final 'signing in' part. if i click finish, it'll be as if nothing happened!!

Man i will give you a simple solution! If in Greece you can't get Market place to work and you dont have an account just listen to this!
Register on Zune and make a new account...Write your hotmail and on postal code just go to Google and write "USA Postal codes"... Copy a postal code from there and paste it in Zune and you will have a US account ready to sign in! I use the Market place just fine!
here you are...postal codes:

Hi,
I first tried the method below:
Is someone trying to develop a Custom ROM for the Huawei Ascend G600 (U8950D)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943003
But the phones are not just different band versions, as mentioned in post 58 of the thread above. The T8950 is not kernal compatible with the U8950D:
http://www.jetdroid.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=106&t=8383
Indeed, the T8950 is equipped with MTK6517 dual-core processor, the MT6517 and MT6577 are the same, A9 architecture 40nm processor, clock ed speed is 1.0Ghz.
http://defendgun.com/2013/01/22/mobile-customized-huawei-glory-t8950-listed-price-at-261/
I don't pretend to have any knowledge about rooting phones, I just was able to find the correct information on the web. I spend two weeks figuring this out. So I hope I can save somebody else his time with this information.
this is how I did it.
UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
--------------------------------------------------
the bootloader of the T8950 is not locked, so it does not need to be unlocked. Allight, step one done!
INSTALLING THE CMW CUSTOM RECOVERY TOOL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The T8950 does indeed not have a fastboot mode. the CWM custom recovery can be installed by flashing the ROM using the Flash tool of Mediatek
tutorial: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.htmlthe correct files to use in the tutorial can be found here:
- SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1224.01 --> http://www.mediafire.com/?c8lr368ceaqk7tv
- MediaTek DA USB VCOM drivers --> http://www.mediafire.com/?h0ytkyagj0kf89u
if all went well, you should have a different recovery screen now.
ROOTING
-----------
Tutorial: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/02/complete-guide-to-clockworkmod-recovery.html
The fileto be used is:
- RootT8950.zip --> http://www.mediafire.com/?je47wz2ozjr7oth
After the update is finished, reboot . Now, you should see Superuser in your Huawei T8950 app list. You can double check if you have root, using the "got root?" app.-->https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.island51.gotroot
INSTALLING THE GOOGLE SERVICES
----------------------------------------------------------
Since the the CWM custom recovery tool is installed now and the phone is rooted, it's very simple to add the google services to the phone. I used the GAPPS of Cyanogen. You can find them on many places, e.g.
http://www.needrom.com/mobile/gapps-cyanogen/
choose the right version, most likely your T8950 will have android ICS 4.0.4
istallation is the same as installing the rooting ROM

Hey TeTTiweTTi!
I can not say how glad I am that you wrote this tutorial. It seems that this is actually the only tutorial on how to truly unlock the T8950 (at least for non russian-speakers )
Still, I'd have some questions:
How do you install the VCOM driver? I downloaded it, but I can only find .inf files.. How do you install them?
Did you flash the whole ROM or just a part of it, as shown in the tutorial? And what exactly happens when you flash the ROM? Are you able to boot afterwards? It seems to just install CWM - right?
How do you apply the update RootT8950.zip?
Help would be appreciated a lot, since you seem to be the only one who knows how to properly do it
Oh and btw: did everything work for you after flashing the ROM? Or did you encounter any errors?
Cheers,
amannn
Hi, it was indeed not so easy to collect these bits and pieces together
here an answer to your questions
1.
The .inf files are the drivers. There are two ways to install the drivers. One way is to right click on the .inf file and choose "Install". The other way is to start the process with SP Flash Tool and as soon as you plug in the phone a new device will be detected and you have the choice to install the drivers.
Also, it is very important to make sure that you click "Download" first before you connect the device. Actually there is a trick, below the sp flash tool, you will see something that says "USB". Click "Download" and wait for the "USB" to become "Searching". Once it is "searching" then connect the USB. SP-Flashtool should be able to capture it before it disconnects itself again.
2.
yes, you only flash a part of the ROM, so you don't need to have all the files in the SP Flash Tool. Only the ones mentioned in the tutorial. Your phone will boot normal, nothing will be changed yet. But now you will have the CWM custom recovery when you start up in recovery mode.
3.
the linked tutorial is quite clear. Let me know if you cannot reach the page or you encounter a problem.

Hey TeTTiweTTi!
Thank you very much again for your detailed explanation!
So i think I've installed CWM recovery successful. Therefore, I'm now working on the rooting part.
The RootT8950.zip file needs to be applied, using the "choose zip from sdcard" option from CWM recovery right? When I choose that option, I encounter the error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/". Also when I'm trying to create a backup, it says "Can't mount backup path.". So it seems that there is a problem with accessing the sdcard. I then tried the "mount /sdcard" option, but it also says "Error mounting /sdcard".
Did you have any problem like that? When my phone is booted up, there is no problem with accessing the sd card... Or is there a option how I can check if the sd card is inserted correctly? I guess it's internal and therefore impossible to even remove it..
Your help would be highly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance and best wishes,
amannn
EDIT: I was now able to upload the update with an external micro sd. Therefore everything works so far - thanks again
Similar phone mtk6517 svp s580
Hi
I have this. svp. Phone with ARMV7 ( see cpuz snapshot
)
It says mkt6517 with A5 cortex
I tried jnstalling all drivers linked here for ADB
but windows xp disqualified em as valid drivers for this hardware
Finally I got android device driver to install on
All 3 devices ( see pic- there are 3 devices
That show up )
I don't think this generic driver is the right one
So rooting this is still not done .does anyone hace luck with this device
Any idea ......? With getting the right driver and root
Procedure
I tried eroot too amongst other rooting s/w's

Hi sieger007,
It can be a little bit tricky to install the drivers, since it are .inf files only. But these are the driver files

This second way worked just fine for me.
You can find the drivers and tools also here
http://mt65xx-tools.4shared.com/
he password to login is bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com.
But always make sure that you trust the sources of the ROM you download and know that it is meant for your phone. After flashing a wrong preloader, your phone will be completely dead (can't be powered on, it will not charge and won't be detected anymore by the computer) and there is no way to recover it.
In order to root you first need to install a custom recovery. In this case it is CWM.
hope this helps
still stuck in driver hell
thanks for your help . I had a previous Chinese MTK (MT6575 ARM A9 cortex ) phone , whose ADB drivers successfully installed when I installed the SDK .
Now this one is MTK6517 ARM A5 Cortex. and none of the methods ( #1 or #2 ) help, in those drivers being recognized.
By method #1 : Right click install - It maybe just copying the driver file to system folder and then on windows would auto detect it when the device is inserted -assuming there is a match .
Method # 2 : Uses the new h/w found dialogue . Not sure if invoking sp_tool is related anyways in invoking that dialogue . It shows up anyways - soon as you plug in the phone .
I could not get the driver files in with the blogspot password to be recognized . Kept giving me "specified location. does not contain info about your h/w msg"
I have the EXACT same problem with ALL drivers hunted on the net , that say MTK driver. Some files say MTK65xx some say MTK_USB_Driver etc.
the h/w ID's and instance IDs associated with the devices are attached .
USB\VID_1782&Pid_5d04&Rev_0229&MI_01
Now the driver.inf file did have one ray of hope with this mention ..wonder if that'd make it compatible with a modified inf file.
But I am lost about HOW to add the h/w ID info ( format and what specific data to add ) to the inf file -most data is of the form VID_eXXX something in that file ( see below quote )
MT6516 USB VCOM drivers\readme.txt
Code:
3. Customers can customize usb2ser_XXX.inf file.
There is a string in the file:
MTK6218 = "USB Modem Driver"
You can modify it for your product name, for example:
MTK6218 = "MY_PRODUCT Modem Driver"
The other perplexing thing is that there are 3 Devices that show up under XP device manager. I managed to get one of em installed as device "android phone" with driver "android ADB interface" from Google and can possibly manage to get ALL of em installed the same way since those device ID's are close ( the last '1' becomes 2 and 3 respectively ) in this
Code:
USB\VID_1782&Pid_5d04&Rev_0229&MI_01
After pushing all these device ID's as "android ADB interface" - and attempting to root- the android rooting s/w's will NOT work at the identification step , erring out with "ADP device not found "- conclusively indicating that those drivers probably did not work well and I ought to look around for better ones - something I am trying to address by this thread.
Lastly - sp_tool when you start it - it will ask for scatter file. The scatter file out there is for MTK6577 (vs my model 6517 ) . If I choose that file - it gives me a warning - yes it out - and click download - it will then just freeze doing nothing
after some more G-mining ( Google) - i found out that I have to stick my VID in that hardware ID's and create an adb_usb.ini file to get the device recognized. Will update on happened next

ADB driver issue
> adb_usb.ini needed oXXXX as device ID . Where XXXX is the ID that shows up on Device manager. This is detailed here
http://blog.fh-kaernten.at/wehr/?p=1182
after that there will be 2 yellow marks for the rest of the unknowns in device manager. for this you have to modify the .inf file to include the entire h/w ID strings. I guess that makes just about any driver get along with anyone unknown - so here I am not sure if showing them as the such h/w by changing the driver files - gives them the actual intended functionality or all it does it just makes the device manager look clean without yellow marks. Maybe someone could help expand the talk here
[
Code:
android_winusb.inf
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_01
/*ADDED*/
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_02
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_03
So with that - I get 1 ADB interface and 3 devices show up under "com and LPT" - alright that completes the drivers
ROOTING
I found this Chinese rooting program Vroot . I still have'nt figured out what exactly it means but it looks like it DID root that sucker after all. I tested with one app - root checker - got an dialogue in Chinese , asking me whether to give or not and I think I said Y but that app still does not say I have root. Its probably the apps thats at fault because I can get Linked2SD do ALL the stuff it would be doing running as root - .e.g force move programs to SD to free up space etc.
If someone out there can make English out of that and tell me if its mine to keep or leased out ( trial ) - that'd be damn nice !!!

3G not accessible
Hi again,
so I've been struggling with another issue.
Somehow my T8950 isn't capable of connecting to the 3G network of my carrier. When I search for networks, only the 2G networks are being found.
Does anybody have a clue why that is and how to solve that problem? My carrier is from Austria and is called "tele.ring" which is operated by T-Mobile.
I'd really appreciate your help, since 2G is reaaally slow for data connections
EDIT: I just tried allowing my phone only to connect to 3G networks by using the Network app from Philipp Mangelow (which shows the same menu as if you dial *#*#4636#*#* as i just found out). This results into no 3G networks being found at all.. I thought maybe the problem occurs because I'm always connected in roaming mode. As I bought the phone in China, it seems to believe that i need to be in roaming mode to connect to my local carrier. However, I have a local SIM-card, so this is somewhat weird..
EDIT 2: So after some googling I've found out that China has the TD-SCDMA radio interface for 3G (at least China Mobile, and that's from where I've bought the phone), but in europe it's W-CDMA.. Remains the question how to change that (if possible at all)..
EDIT 3: So I've wrote an email to Huawei about the issue, and that's the reply:
Sorry that T8950 doesn’t support the W-CDMA mode.
Below please kindly check the frequence band of T8950 for your reference.
• GSM/EDGE：900/1800/1900MHz
• TD-SCDMA：A frequency（2010-2025MHz）/F frequency（1880-1920MHz)
So that means that there is nothing i can do about it?
Thanks and all the best,

This is a open source project, so feel free to change it by your own .
What this app contains for starter developers ?
This source code is a real simple code to see how SplitView , RelativePanel , VisualStateManager works , but it's really basic and easy to understood .
Test for 512 MB devices :
guys with 512MB of devices test this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3844546&d=1471383596
first check Backup , Then Tap on Allow Update(for 512MB Ram)
Thanks all guys who find trick for 512 devices and I will add their names soon in thread .
What are the files uploaded ?
DHTUpgradeAdvisor_1.1.4.0_arm_Debug.rar : it contains the appx file and you must be able to deploy it with Developer Mode enabled via file manager .
Dependencies.zip: this contains ARM dependency packages needed for app . (if you weren't able to deploy this app using file manager use device portal to deploy using appx file and these dependencies .
Source.rar : surely it's the source code of my app .
Technical Information about source :
Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 , Universal Windows SDK 10586 (v1.4)

[Q]Old you mean even with 512mb RAM?
[A]I mean Unsupported Phones .
for now 512MB RAM Phones no but work on 1GB ram devices .
I still don't know why getting builds doesn't work on 512 MB rams , but I'm doing research for it .

Just to be clear, by "redstone" you mean Windows 10 Anniversary Update build 10.0.14393.5 ?

One more thing, which are the "old Lumias" that benefit from this app? The reason I'm asking is because when this thread Redstonebuild 14267& higher for old lumias was started, Lumia 735 was one of the unsupported phones. Now, I got 10.0.14393.5 with Windows Insider in the Release Preview ring.

As I said this app makes it easier to get updated. You can use registry editors freely to modify keys by your own but in this way you will save your Phone targeting info to restore and change your phone identity easier .

Don't get me wrong, it's a great app and we thank you for it. I just wanted to make things clear. For my phone, Lumia 735, no registry edit was necessary yesterday to get to redstone. However, I'm sure your app will be very helpful in the future for other updates Microsoft might consider my phone is not fit.

I think Lumia 735 is a supported phone to get Redstone. That's why no registry editing is necessary to get RS. This app is for those Lumia's (Like Lumia 1020, 920, 925...) which are not supported to for Redstone update officially.
Seriously, if you don't know how the 512MB block works, don't even bother. I took a quick look at the source and it's clear that you've just built a tool which automates some registry editing without having any knowledge of how the actual update gets picked up or how updating a phone even works. There is a lot of redundant code in there.
Do I need to interop unlock my phone or anything similar for this to work ? Because I just followed the steps in OP and no updates come up.

Thanks to the authors not knowing how the NDTK RPC works and what sort of permission set it needs, you do need interop.

No you have to only enable Developer Mode on your phone . I test this on a non-Interop unlocked phone 640XL LTE Dual sim and it works .

Yeah... I really want it too on 520... Hopefully, I can receive your good news soon
In my process of unlocking the bootloader for my Realme X3 SuperZoom, I hit an error in the In-Depth Test app that told me I had a "carrier-customized" device and thus couldn't continue. I figured out how to get around this without needing root. All you need is a Windows computer, ADB, and a super shady program (I've tested it and there don't seem to be any viruses in it). Let's get started.
Bootloader unlock guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/x3-superzoom/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-realme-x3-t4136325/.
WARNING: this won't wipe your personal data, but it does appear to clear WiFi passwords.
If you haven't already, enable Developer Options and USB Debugging.
Next, download the Oppo_Free_Unlock_v1.0.zip file from the attachments and extract it somewhere.
Before you run anything, though, there's a little preparation that needs to be done.
Open Device Manager and expand the Network Adapters category.
Find your Ethernet adapter and double click it to open its properties.
Go to the Advanced tab and find the Network Address option in the Property pane.
Under the Value pane, select the radio button next to the text box and paste in the following: 704D7B61ABCD.
If you don't have an Ethernet adapter, try to find another network adapter here that has the Network Address property. It may help to install VirtualBox, since it will add fake Ethernet adapters.
Close the properties window and close Device Manager.
Go to where you extracted the unlock tools. Open Sec5.exe.
Make sure your device is in MTP mode, and then press the Unlock button.
After about a second, a string of numbers and letters should show up in the left pane. A few seconds later, "OK" should start flashing in the right pane. Press "Stop unlocking" and close the window.
Open the phone app on your device and dial *#3954391#. Then dial *#391#. A screen should come up with a whole bunch of regions listed. Choose the first one: "Multilingual Version Ex".
Your phone should now reboot. Once it's rebooted, your region will have changed and you should be able to use the In-Depth Test app to unlock your bootloader.
In theory, changing your region like this should work on any OPPO/Realme device running at least Android Pie (9). It may even work on earlier versions.
NOTE: This will not work for Chinese variants. These codes are filtered and will only work for international variants. However, the Chinese variants should be immediately unlockable.
-----
UPDATE:
It seems like OPPO caught onto this program. That MAC address is no longer accepted. However, there is a workaround (thanks to @Sonic Steven).
If you set the custom MAC on any adapters, remove it.
If you have the Secrecy program running, close it.
Disable any Ethernet/wired/virtual adapters, leaving only WiFi enabled. If you don't have a WiFi adapter, you may be able to leave Ethernet enabled, but it isn't guaranteed to work.
In Device Manager, click the root of the device tree (it should be your computer's name).
Open the "Action" menu and click "Add legacy hardware".
Click "Next" and select "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)".
Click "Next" again and select "Network adapters" in the list.
Click "Next" again. Once it loads, select "Microsoft" in the "Manufacturer" list.
In the "Model" list, select "Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback Adapter" (the name may be slightly different on other systems; select the one that has "Loopback Adapter" in the name).
Click "Next" twice to begin the installation.
Once the installation is complete, you should be able to reopen the Secrecy program and decrypt.
NOTE: The Secrecy program requires a working internet connection. It connects to OPPO's servers and performs some sort of authentication.

same Find X2 Pro sec5 dont show ok on the right side
hello
with oppo a9 2020;
does not work, I start the procedure with Sec5.exe it recognizes the device but does not give the ok; the same thing happens when you start secrecy.exe!
How can I solve?
@Zacharee1
I think this thread should be moved to https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/android-general.1424/, since it is not only for Realme X3 SuperZoom.
This solution is also applicable to RealmeC11(RMX2185).

Got it working. Have NO MAC address listed in the Loopback and have at least 1 other network device active with internet access!
i thought you were supposed to have no internet adapter.
Also working on Realme 7 Pro, quick question, I'm already rooted with custom recovery, am I allowed to change the region without removing root and custom recovery?
