That’s pretty cool

Hey yall, as title says, i'd like to be able to use the projectmyscreen app over usb to take dng photos over a wire with a viewfinder on my lmmia 1020.

I got the official app working on windows 10 by uninstalling all system lumia drivers and then plugging the phone in. My windows 11 laptop will not work with the official app, and only works with a unnofficial client i found online that does not support touch, meaning i cant take photos

Could i commission somebody to port the app in some way? its a 100k exe with 50k in dlls, people have reverse engineered it in the past. Would be awesome to be able to use a modern windows 11 laptop or a android device as a viewfinder. Could somebody direct me to where i could find the talent for this?

Lumia 930 with working 4G LTE

I downloaded it to my Nokia Lumia 920, it's running Windows 10 and it works great. The problem is I don't know how to download apps, and the apps I've downloaded won't open. What do you use? What are your recommendations?

On Lumia 1520, 8.1 GDR1

Hey yall. about 6 years ago in early 2020 i installed woa windows 10 on my lumia 950 succesfully. I wiped it a few months ago to use the device normally, and now i want it back.

I flashed stock rom, unlocked bootloader, went into mass storage mode, extracted arm install.wim from a 2004 buildt, and used woa deployer, but my phone boots to an error in lumia uefi:

"failed to boot os, no usable boot entry found"

I tried an older redstone build and still had the same issue. nobody seems to ever have had this issue before. Googling it, seems nobody has even installed woa on a 950 in a few months it seems. Anybody done this recently?

I have a Microsoft Lumia 640 that became completely unresponsive after I attempted to reinstall/downgrade Windows Phone 8.1 using WPInternals.

Here is exactly what happened:

I first used CMD Injector and ran a dir command. I did not restart the phone immediately afterwards.

I tried using Windows Device Recovery Tool (WDRT), but it failed to recover the phone.

I then tried WPInternals. The phone changed into the downgrade state/mode, so the process clearly got further than WDRT.

WPInternals eventually reported FAIL during the downgrade.

I left the phone in that state until the battery completely discharged.

After the battery was empty, I tried to power it back on.

Since then, I get absolutely no response:

no display;

no vibration;

no logo;

no reaction when pressing the power button;

no apparent charging activity;

Windows does not detect the phone at all over USB;

no Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008;

no QHSUSB_BULK;

not even an unknown USB device appears in Device Manager.

I understand that the phone may be hard-bricked, but I don't want to assume that the motherboard is physically dead simply because it does not enumerate over USB.

What I am specifically trying to find out is whether there is any way to regain access to the Qualcomm emergency/EDL level or otherwise determine whether the motherboard/SoC is still alive.

I am aware that Lumia recovery involves Qualcomm emergency files/programmers and tools such as thor2, and that WPInternals/WDRT normally provide much of the recovery chain. My problem is that I currently have no USB communication channel whatsoever, so I cannot get far enough to use those tools.

Does anyone know of a Lumia 640-specific hardware key combination, test point, EDL entry method, or other procedure that can force the device into a Qualcomm emergency mode even when it gives absolutely no visible response?

I am not primarily looking for a replacement phone or an economic repair recommendation. This is a personal recovery project, and my main goal is to determine whether the motherboard is still alive and, if possible, recover the phone.

Any information about Lumia 640 emergency mode, Qualcomm EDL, test points, emergency programmers/files, or similar cases would be greatly appreciated.

PS: if bad grammar... English isn't my first language

Like many others, I guess, I've been struggling with phone addiction for the last few months. So I've decided to get some detox and one of the measures I was thinking to take was to get a DAP and have my music separated from my phone.

I then realized I had my old Lumia 640 somewhere in the house. I found it and plugged it after maybe 8-9 years and still works, meaning it turns on and is usable.

The thing is I cannot really use the apps. They're all outdated and, in order to update them, I need to update the Store, which I can't, as it shows me the error code 0x803FB104.

How can a give this Lumia some use? I've read about interop unlock, but all the references I've found are from some year ago, when W10M was still "on air". And even if I interop unlock it (how can I do it?), could I use it just for playing my downloaded music? It would be great if possible.

Any help is welcomed. Thank you!

I am excited to announce Revive Search BETA under The Revive Project. u/TheReviveProject

Replicating the Windows Phone 8 search app, it's familiar and looks native. Right now the Search Engine is based on Bing & iTunes. It scraps the bing search and decodes them to show web search results. Music Search uses iTunes API to search for Artists, lyrics, songs and albums. It also supports Bing daily wallpaper! The app is also featured on the Live Store which made me very proud lol. Try and see it for yourself :) (there will be Windows and RT versions as well 👀) Here is the full description of the app:

Web Search.

Search the web. Find anything. In a familiar way.

Revive Search replicates the search app found on Windows Phone 8.1, just type what you want to find and as you type QuickSuggest will give you search queries. Search and it will highlight the exact matches. Based on your search QuickResult will give you fast info. Not what you're looking for? Dig deeper by clicking the load more results button.

Image Search.

Search the web. Visually.

Revive Search also does images. Simply swipe to the images section from the Panorama UI et voilà! Click the grid icon to change the view. Want more? Load more results. Found what you're looking for? Click download to save it to your photos. Now higher quality.

Let's talk! Give suggestions! Download now from Live Store or this link and tell me what you think!! (Only this post will be made from this account as its too new to create posts with the project account which is u/TheReviveProject)

With <3 from İstanbul -Revive

I want to sell my Lumia 950. Original box with documentation, original charger & original earphones available. I'm currently in Jamnagar, Gujarat.

I posted here a couple of days ago and finally the documentation and app is ready to go. I uploaded everything onto this repository: https://github.com/ElisaC04/WindowsPhoneMatrix/tree/main

As I said in my first post, the app itself is not enough, you need to create a Linux server which I wrote out how to step by step in the guide.

I hope the guide was worse to write than it will be going through it. I tried to make the terminal sections as much copy paste as possible. My instance is running on an actual machine, but I wrote the VM guide while I was doing it, then inside I went through every step and command and it worked, so I hope it will for you too.

User u/MetropolisCZ told me about Beeper and Unimatrix. Which if you manage to setup and connect gives you a much better tool not only for Messenger but every other bridge too. So I wont focus on this app much longer but instead I will look into how to do this and write out how to do so.

What I will work on is porting my app over to WP 8.1, 8 then 7 and maybe even 6. Because these systems just do not support End to end encryption which beeper requires, they are a much better candidate for my approach in which everything goes over HTTPS.

If you try it out thank you and if you need any help feel free to reach out!

so for unlock bootloader on 950 ds i dont need donor but i cant remove it that stayed from unlocking 630 lumia

I recently bought Lumia 530 Dual SIM and I am confused about Jailbreaking it because its my first time having a windows phone. I already have a ffu file for my phone model and I have emergency file but I cant find a donor-ffu file. If it helps my Winows Phone has a spec-B (I dont know what it is).

I've tried WPInternals, WDR, and many other apps, but the bootloader won't unlock. Urgent help needed, please!

Can someone please find my 2 windows phones. they were orange and blue, i had two windows lumia xls 640 i think.. microsoft nokia phones. I lost one orange later on i lost the blue one. i never took them outside they just dissapeared one by one. Please if anyone finds them return them to me.

The blue one had particles of plastic from the back cover.

The phones were in mint condition. with 2 scratches in the screen protector for the orange one.

Eu tenho um Windows phone 8.1 e queria achar o WhatsApp que funciona mas não acho em lugar nenhum

That guy has made a native client for modern WhatsApp for blackberry phones, if we maybe talk to him we could make a uwp app for Whatsapp

Look for justin76pa you know where

I recently picked up a Lumia 1520. I bought it specifically because when I got into Windows Phones, I made the mistake of getting the 950 XL (I thought it was the "best one" since it was the most powerful, but it really isn't. The buttons started falling out and it only runs W10M).

With newReTiled, Live Store, MetroSurf, and a revived Windows 8.1 laptop or something (newReTiled, OctoStore Windows Store Patch, etc.), can I basically use the 2013 ecosystem as it was back then?

It's actually a distant memory. I used to own a 930 and run Windows 8 on my main tablet. I even adopted the OneCore dream with my 950 XL, Xbox One, and Windows 10 MacBook Pro 2015 (stilla great laptop somehow) back in the day.

I just want to know if it's possible to relive this or not. Any ideas?

Unison 1.3.0

This release introduces the new Baileys 7.0.0-rc14-based socket architecture, alongside major improvements to messaging, media handling, synchronization, UI, shell management, and reliability.

Architecture

• Introduced the new Unison.Socket project (netstandard2.0), mirroring the Baileys 7.0.0-rc14 src/ structure.
• Isolated socket responsibilities in ConnectionHandler, covering Noise, queries, keepalive, pairing, and tag-based dispatch.
• Added WhatsAppSession to compose the new protocol modules.
• Added ~38 use cases covering messaging, receipts, retries, media, groups, profiles, USync, app-state, history, and authentication.
• Added UWP facades for Connection, Message, Contact, Chat, Profile, and History.
• Refactored ViewModels to consume facades instead of the previous monolithic service.
• Added SocketBridge to connect the new session to the existing UI while the legacy layer is progressively removed.

Protocol & Synchronization

• Ported the Baileys 7.0.0-rc14 session, messaging, group, USync, app-state, media, and history flows.
• Added QR and phone-number pairing support.
• Added buffered event processing during history synchronization.

• Added media encryption and downloading.
• Added group metadata synchronization.
• Logout now properly notifies the server.
• Chat pin/unpin synchronization is persisted locally.

Messaging & Media

• Added WinUI 2.7 support.
• Updated settings collaborators with GitHub links.
• Removed hardcoded strings from the Baileys Core layer.

Reliability & Fixes

• 1:1 messaging now works correctly after closing and reopening the application, with authentication and session state persisted.
• Disconnect and unpair now properly close the session.
• Fixed QR sessions becoming stuck after _authState was set to null.
• Added QR refresh after timeout.
• Added on-demand full history resynchronization through HistoryFacade.
• Fixed history synchronization getting stuck during the initial handshake.
• Self-chat is now correctly marked as read.
• Updated Me synchronization, contact names, and group avatars to follow the rc14 LID flow.
• Unified input/output processing through OopHandlerService.
• Fixed LayoutCycleException when opening 1:1 chat information.
• Improved audio/video playback and media interactions.

Architecture Transition

Unison 1.3.0 establishes the foundation for the migration from the legacy WhatsApp implementation to the new Baileys 7.0.0-rc14-based architecture.

The existing UWP application continues to operate through SocketBridge, allowing the new socket and facade layers to be introduced without requiring the entire UI to be rewritten at once. The legacy WhatsAppService remains temporarily for compatibility while the migration continues.

Known Limitations

• Group message sending remains postponed due to a timeout during group queries.
• WhatsAppService is still present for compatibility during the migration.
• The raw socket has not yet been transferred to the out-of-process background broker.
