Many roads lead to Rome, we like to say in German. In your case, the easiest way is to use Interrop Unlock. The last version, as far as I know, is this.

InteropTools_2.0.96.0_x86_x64_arm_th1_LegacyRelease.appxbundle

But you can also use this for the Interop Unlock.

InteropToolsApp_1.9.400.0_arm.appxbundle

This variant is better known as "RC2". However, I would not go back any further. Already in RC2 not all functions are available which have later variants, but it would be enough for the Interop Unlock.

First you switch to developer mode on the 830. In the German menu navigation, the path reads, All Settings / Update and Security / For developers. Install the Interop Tools of your choice, start the Interop Tools with "This Device" or "This Device (through provider extensions)" and switch in the Interop Tools to Unlock / Interop Unlock. Now switch on "Restore NDTKSvc" and restart the 830. After the restart you visit Interop Unlock again and switch on "New Capability Engine Unlock". Restart the 830 and visit Interop Unlock again after restart. If the switches for "Restore NDTKSvc" and "New Capability Engine Unlock" are still on, the interop unlock was successful.

Thanks Klaus, you legend!

I found (on XDA) and used

InteropTools_2.0.96.0_x86_x64_arm_th1_LegacyRelease.appxbundle. No provider extensions were found (I was not sure which to install) so I used "This Device" only. I followed your instructions, enabling then restarting only Restore NDTKSvc and New Capability Engine Unlock. I did not switch on Interop/Cap Unlock. After my second restart, both switches remain on: success!

The Ad blocker seems to work well. If you don't want to start a Telegram account, I can upload it for you?

I have noticed some visual "tearing" when scrolling up and down on the phone (e.g. on web page or start menu). Is there any performance penalty to Interop Unlock? I guess if I revert my changes, the hosts file will be intact.

Now I wonder, do I want to take my 950 to Rome?
