Bypassing Vista SP1 Windows Genuine Advantage

The fact that Microsoft has relaxed its antipiracy mechanism built into Windows Vista concomitantly with the release of Service Pack 1 failed to stop hackers from providing a crack for the latest version of Windows Genuine Advantage Validation.

Various reports point out that Genuine Advantage Validation and Notifications versions 1.7.69.1 (1.7.0069.1) and 1.7.69.2 released in March 2008, following the March 18 availability of Windows Vista SP1 through Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center, have been cracked.

The workaround is designed to be integrated with pirated copies of Windows XP and Windows Vista in order to render useless the WGA Validation mechanism. According to the reports, applying the WGA crack will permit users of counterfeit versions of Windows to access and download items from Windows Update, Microsoft Download Center and Microsoft Update. The pirated operating systems with the cracked WGA will pass all validations on Microsoft's websites and offer anything from updates to applications that are restricted to users of genuine operating systems only.

With the release of Windows Vista SP1, Microsoft has scrapped the Reduced Functionality Mode kill switch in its latest operating system. Users of pirated Vista, just as those of XP and Windows Server 2008 will only be informed of the fact that their operating system is no longer genuine. However, pirated versions of Windows are automatically blocked from downloading certain free applications as well as all updates except those labeled Critical. The WGA crack is designed to fix that.

"After the activation grace period has been exceeded the next logon will present the user with a message that directs the customer to activate that copy of Windows. That dialog includes a fifteen second delay before it can be dismissed. If they want to skip activation at that time they can wait for the fifteen seconds and choose "Activate Later" .
But the new story is different.That is Vista SP1 has been cracked successfully and it's possible to bypass the Windows Genuine Advantage to fool the OS to beleive it as genuine.The release of Service Pack 1 for Vista seems to put no combat against piracy.This crack is available for download on this site.

I keep getting the "bootmgr is comressed" thing.
After that I need to manualy DVD boot and "fixboot".

Naturaly the system is not validated after that.

Please advice on how to proceed.

I keep geting the "bootmgr is comressed" on my boot after fixing.

I then need to dvd-boot and manually fix the boot (bootrec /fixboot)

Please advice on hoe to proceed.

@ anoymous

I think you have tried to compress your hard disk to save space.So this error occours.Here is how to fix it

Boot from the Vista DVD.
Click 'Repair my Computer'
At the prompt to select your OS installation, click the button that says 'Load Drivers'. This should bring up a explorer-style drive browser.

Then just right-click on the drive you tried to compress, and deselect 'Compress this Drive', which should still be ticked on. Hit apply, and apply to subfolders/files.

Reboot.

Once your error is fixed you can run the crack.

NOTE: I have tested the crack only with 32-bit version of Vista Ultimate.I hope it also works for other versions.
Plz reply back after you are successful.

Hi Srikanth, this patch worked for mine Vista SP1. thanks a lot.

The SP1 I have installed actually is download from Windows Update. After installed SP1, my Paradox patch no longer working. I have tried Vista-Loader 3.0.0.1 but not working to me. That could be my dual-boot system.

Thanks again for this patch! Really good!

Hi, I installed your patch but now my power saving options (hibernate and sleep) are broken. I keep getting 'Vista did not shutdown properly' windows when the system boots up again. How can I fix that?

Srikanth said...

@ tdw

Are you using nvidia drivers? if so the above problem(win shutdown error) is mostly because of this.

Anonymous said...

Hi Srikanth,

I am using an ATi Radion Mobility X1300 graphics card, so that can't be the problem..

Srikanth said...

My crack is mostly not responsible for this error since it doesn't modify any of the system components other than the ones needed for activation.

Did this problem occur right after installing the crack or after certain days?

Also is your system activated or not.

Please give detailed system info(including manufacturer's name and configuration)

This crack is only tested for 32-bit ultimate Vista only

Hi Srikanth,

this problem occured right after installing the crack. It did activate Vista Ultimate 32bit properly. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 6400 (Core Duo T2050 (1,6Ghz), 1GB ram, 80GB HDD, ATi Mobility Radeon 1300 256MB). I'll try to uninstall the crack and check if it works that way.

Anonymous said...

Hmm, it seems that reinstalling the crack solved the problem. Thanks anyway! My Vista is now activated :)

Hello Srikanth,

Could you please provide more technical information about this crack? How does it work? How does it differ from Vista Loader 2.1.3/3.0.0.1?

Anonymous said...

This worked on one machine but not another. Any requirements? IE updated bios, windows updates etc?

Anonymous said...

Have two identical machines. Worked on one not the other? Any ideas?

Srikanth said...

@ CP

The only requirement is Vista SP1 32-Bit Ultimate Edition May also work with other editions,but I have tested it only on Ultimate 32-bit Vista.

Anonymous said...

Yeah thats what I'm using, I trying a clean install again. Using a Dell OEM disk same as last time. So install vista, disable UAC, run crack as administrator and thats it?

Anonymous said...

Well tried reloading a few times even got a new Vista download and still no luck. It's a dell computer if that means anything?

Srikanth said...

@ CP

Yes this crack may failto work on Branded PCs like Compaq,Dell etc. due to some technical reasons.It works perfectly with non-branded PCs

Anonymous said...

Any advice on what to use? I'm 99% sure I got it to work on an exact same PC. Don't remember doing anything special other than loading it. The other PC shows an emulated Dell 07 APCI in the Everest looking at the bios. Does your crack do that?

Srikanth said...

@ CP

I need some details.

1.Will my crack run successfully or shows some error?

2.Will you see the message saying "Installation Completed Successfully Your system will be genuine & activated after restart" ?

3.If you are using Dell OEM DVD to install Vista try using Retail version DVD.

4.Also disable automatic installation of updates!

1.Will my crack run successfully or shows some error? Runs Perfectly

2.Will you see the message saying "Installation Completed Successfully Your system will be genuine & activated after restart" ? Yes

3.If you are using Dell OEM DVD to install Vista try using Retail version DVD. Tried Both

4.Also disable automatic installation of updates! ???

So should I be connected to the internet or not when I install Vista and then run program to activate?

Srikanth said...

@ CP

Finally....

Search for Vista Loader 2.0 on google and download it.Try this crack to find out your luck.If it fails download Vista basic loader and try.Either of the two should work.

These cracks are not One click activator like mine.You have to manually follow the instructions given in the readme file to install.

Anonymous said...

ok thanks for your help, I've tried all those no luck. Guess it's just something about this machine. I even dropped the ram back to 1gb which I had in the other one. Is there a particular place you should run the exe? Desktop/C-Drive/My Docs? I disable UAC then right click run as admin? Seems to install fine certs get loaded just not running the emulation. Everytime I reinstall I format drive too..

Anonymous said...

Well booted up on an XP cd.. Removed both partitions and then booted up on Vista Dell OEM disk without lan cable plugged in. Installed Vista, disabled UAC, installed ur crack and it worked. Crazy.. One thing I noticed when it didnt work the GRLDR or btldr file wasn't in the root. Something must have been preventing it from going in there?? Thanks for all the help..

Srikanth said...

@ CP
Congrats.some how you have succeeded.

NO MY CRACK DOES NOT BLOCK ANY WEBSITES.

It only does the necessary operations for activating Vista.
