Caution
Bricks can happen
This guide is an explaination of the correct steps to follow. Errors may still happen, both caused by
the user or by unpredictable conditions on your work machine. We’re not resposible for any data loss,
soft bricks or permanent damage on the device.
The firmware provided is for testing purposes only. We aren’t responsible for any data loss caused by
the firmware images. Make backups of your data prior to installing.
This software has not been approved for use with emergency services. By installing this
software, you agree to not use it as your primary phone device due to possible disruption in
emergency service access.
Prerequisites
- Lumia 950 (Talkman) or Lumia 950 XL (Cityman)
- A Windows PC
- A cable to connect the phone to the PC
Software:
- WPInternals
And a lot of patience!
Please read the entire guide before starting the process. The unlocking procedure involves
a lot of different variables, so some steps might differ from phone to phone. It might be
needed to try a few times.
Before starting…
If you plan on keeping Windows 10 Mobile alongside Windows On ARM, make sure to fully update your
phone before following this procedure. In fact, you
can’t update your Windows Mobile installation while the bootloader is unlocked.
Let’s begin!
Let’s start by downloading WPInternals. Save it somewhere on your PC, then extract it.
You might need to disable your antivirus, because it might be flagged as a false positive.
Run WPInternals, and you will be greeted by the Getting Started screen. Please take your time
to read through the page. You will be instructed to install dome drivers needed for WPInternals
to work.
Plug your phone to your PC, and WPInternals should detect it. (This is pictured in this step).
This might look a bit different if your phone is not booted into Windows Phone, but don’t worry.
You’ll need a few files for this to work, including the original FFU file for your model.
In case you haven’t done this before or miss those files, go into the «Download» tab and
press the «Download All» button. this will download every file needed for your device.
Click «Unlock Bootloader» on the left. WPInternals will ask you to reboot to flash mode,
if you aren’t already in it. Press OK to confirm.
You’ll see this page. Please take your time read through it. Go to the end of the page,
and press the unlock button. If this button isn’t enabled, you should still select the
correct FFU and EDE files. If you don’t have them, please go to the Download section and
download them, then come back here.
Follow the instructions that keep appearing, in case they do, and then…
We’re done!
Your phone will now boot back to Windows Phone. You can also unplug it from the PC if needed now.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

Well, you can get the FFU file of your Lumia at http://lumiafirmware.com/. But after unlocking the bootloader from the selected FFU file, will flashing the FFU file with unlocked bootloader erase all data from my phone??? I’m just making sure before I start the process because I have a game (mostly used) named Asphalt 8: Airborne, and I don’t want to get it erased coz it took literally two days to fully download it… Since we have a slow internet connection (about 70+ to 90+ KB/s average), I cant do it again! So, in conclusion, will this erase all data from my phone after flashing it with unlocked bootloader???????
PS: Lumia 520

It was stated that the 928 could have its bootloader unlocked
Supported Phones:
Lumia 520, 521, 525, 620, 625, 720, 820, 920, 925,
928, 1020 and 1320 are supported. These bootloaders can be unlocked.
But there is no transparent way stated… Does this require using one of the other sbl files or was it a simple mistake hat it was put on the supported list?

Hi Guys,
I have Nokia 1520. I am not able to find any able to find SBL3 file for this phone.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks in Advance.

Read the treads instead of asking for stuff that not only does not exist, but is not needed at all.
SBL3 files are not required for unlocking any Lumia, and are only optionally used on 520 to 1320.
For 1520 and above there is no SBL3 at all.
Thanks, I did tried different permutation and combination.
1. I tried with the FFU that I got from WDRT (stored in ProgramData) — Didn’t work
2. Downloaded the files from Windows Phone Internal — Didn’t work
3. Downloaded the FFU and all bin and edp file from lumiafirmware — didn’t work
4. Tried a different FFU for another phone — Didn’t work.
5. Tried with a different SBL3 — Didn’t work. (just wanted to try it out)
I am getting error — «Value Cannot be null. Parameter name: No FFU with supported OS version was provided.»
So, I was not able to pinpoint, what I am doing wrong or which combination should I select, as all FFU images are giving the same error. Please guide me to proceed further.
My Product Type — RM-940
and ProductCode — 059V5B2
Thanks in Advance.

In this case read the getting started page of WPInternals that says you need to select a second FFU of a different model,. but with a supported OS version, if your OS version is not supported. Keep your original FFU as the first file, ede as the second, the supported FFU as third. Try 950/950XL FFU files for that one
Thanks for getting back. I was able to proceed to next Step, using 950XL FFU, it failed few times, got hex code errors, but I kept repeating and in the end, I was through. I was able to Unlock bootloader and Enable Root Access (I got success message… ).
Now, for installing Android ROM, I searched LineageOS (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/), Lumia 1520 was not on their list, and was not able to get something from google as well. (Sorry, I am not techie).
Can you please point, which ROM should I be using to install Android on Nokia Lumia 1520.
Thanks in Advance.

When I do this it gets stuck on the «switching to emergency download mode» screen for several hours before saying it was unsuccessful and rebooting my phone to normal mode. How do I fix this?
Were you able to sort this out, my lumia 1020 does this. Gets stuck at switching to emergency download

Уже долгое время не было никаких сведений относительно взлома операционной системы Windows Phone или загрузчиков смартфонов на этой ОС. Но все изменилось сегодня утром, когда хакер на XDA выпустил первый набор утилит Windows Phone Internals 1.0. Программное обеспечение, которое создавалось многими месяцами, позволяет энтузиастам открыть загрузчик выбранных смартфонов Lumia, после чего становится возможной реализация Root-доступа и создания кастомных прошивок. Приложение поддерживает подавляющее большинство Windows Phone 8.1 и даже Windows 10 Mobile, что особо интересно, поскольку ядро операционной системы гораздо перспективнее, чем это кажется на первый взгляд. С момента Windows Phone 7.5 и Nokia Lumia 710 — это первый раз, когда на Windows Phone появилась возможность создавать кастомные ROM (за исключением Samsung ATIV S).
Автор приложения опубликовал две видеозаписи, где рассказывает, что и как работает. Обыденному пользователю там пока нечего особо смотреть, поскольку Windows Phone Internals только подготавливает почву для создания кастомных прошивок, следовательно первые реальные результаты работы Heathcliff появятся только со временем, когда другие хакеры возьмут выпущенную утилиту на вооружение.
Windows Phone Internals доступно всем желающим, но если вы не разбираетесь в тонкостях взлома и другой хакерской деятельности, рекомендуем воздержаться от экспериментов над своим смартфоном, дабы избежать окирпичивания или других неисправностей.
На данный момент, автор приложения заявил о поддержке следующих моделей смартфонов Lumia: 520, 521, 525, 620, 625, 720, 820, 920, 925, 928, 1020, 1320. К сожалению, новинки пока не поддерживаются, как и предыдущие флагманы 930/1520, но обещается расширение списка поддерживаемых смартфонов. Что же касается ОС, то разблокировать можно от версии Windows Phone 8.10.12393.890 до 8.10.15148.160 (8.1.2) и Windows 10 Mobile билдов 10512, 10536, 10549 и 10581. RTM-версии 10586 пока нет.
Похоже, что нас ждет очень много интересного. Кто знает, какие уникальные возможности откроются перед поклонниками Windows 10 Mobile.
