Yes, it is now possible to unlock one Windows Lumia phone, get root access and run your own ROMs.
Both Microsoft and Nokia have made Windows Lumia smartphones difficult to break low by locking their bootloaders, but a software hacker named Heathcliff has just released an excellent tool called “Windows Phone Internals”That allows Windows mobile phone owners to unlock and obtain it root access and even create and execute their own Rom.
The tool supports most versions of Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows Mobile 10. The full list is Lumia 520, 521, 525, 620, 625, 720, 820, 920, 1020 and 1320
Heathcliff is a very good acquaintance of XDA Developer and one of the legends of Windows Phone. In the Windows Phone circles it has been a favorite with WP7 Root Tools. His new tool, "Windows Phone Internals" or WPI is completely free to download and Heathcliff simply thanks everyone who wants to donate it.
Here's the list of what WPI can do:
- You can unlock the bootloader of these Lumia Windows Phone models, and then enable Root Access
- You can place your own applications with higher privileges and without filtering on Windows Phone OS.
- You can create pictures backup of your phone and you can also access the file system in mass storage mode.
- You can even install your own ROMs.
You can also watch it video of Heathcliff, showing what a tool is capable of doing.

So if you're ready to experiment with your Windows Phone, then download Windows Phone internals free from here.
However, we would like to draw your attention to using this tool for root access to a Windows phone for those who do not understand the basic Windows Phone and Windows 10 mobile architecture.
The root access to your phone gives you full control over the operating system, but keep in mind that this control can also be misused, if you are not careful.
Heathcliff also says that after completing the intervention, you will need to unroot your device to reduce the chance of malicious software invasion.
Using the tool without the proper inspection could also lead to irreparable damage to data, for which iGuRu will not be responsible. Therefore, please be careful before interfering with your Windows Phone.
