Hi Klaus, I took a holiday from thinking too hard about phone hacking
Seeing as my mother will be a light user, I won't try to change her paging files. I have a 950 XL with a broken screen somewhere, I might dig it up some time and try WoA as well

Ha ha! A little bit drained? Step by step is the motto for such things.

Have you read into the WoA matter yet? Basically a very simple thing, if you know what you are doing.

I took your advice and didn't try to alter the manifest!

Good.

I looked into this, unfortunately my 950 is already too "new" for WP Internals, it only supports up to version 15254.547, when I am on 15254.603...

This method for "x50 devices" uses vcREG to replace NDTK, after reading the last of that thread I'm nervous to touch my 950!

This refers to the root access. You can also run the bootloader unlock with 1709 .603 and then you can also switch to mass storage mode. For the root access there are alternatives which are unfortunately not completely satisfying.

Developer apps can be installed, but you don't have the same access to the system as with Introp Unlock. Some areas of the registration remain blocked. Also, there is no real full access to the system drives, some areas remain inaccessible via MTP. The best unlock way for all x50 and other Windows devices is to exchange the NDTK packet as described here and then the Interop Unlock.

I got excited when I found https://forum.xda-developers.com/win...m-rom-t3404216 and https://protobetatest.com/2018/08/20...eed-to-do-now/

Why?

I am not afraid of command line tools, but I don't think there is a method to do this until I have mass storage access.

You don't have the mass storage mode for this. Theoretically, the NDTK packet must be replaced at the latest by 1607 and then remains in place until 1709. The Interup Unlock has to be executed with every new build. I have tested this on various x50 and it has never really worked for me. At the latest with the 1709 my lumias were tight again. Just try it out. You have to flash anyway.

I have dug out a 640 to use as my test phone, although I just discovered it is SIM-locked...

In the Bundesrepublik the SIM unlock works by having the device unlocked by the provider. For this you have to get in contact with the provider. Unfortunately I don't know how it works for you.
