    Yes, since reverse engineering the publickey of the actconfigid to find the correct secrets hashes that can be used for activation, will take dozen times multiplied by the age of the universe. As the secret is very different for each pkey, and seems to be signed by hmac/sha256. To get it sooner you need to leak the lookup table of the activation server or the phone center, which is very unlikely to ever happen.

    To be fair, I doubt Wzor has much understanding of the keygen - I remember him asking for one initially and suspect someone must have sent him that without explaining it fully...

    This is the one time I hope he does not release something :eek:

    So Here is a Quick Guide for Offline Integration of Windows 8.1-2014 Update to Windows 8.1 RTM or GA

    Prequistie Updates :
    ****************

    1) Rollup-A GA Updates (KB2894179, KB2883200, KB2894029)
    2) Rollup-B Updates (KB2884846, KB2898742)
    3) Rollup-C Updates (KB2903939, KB2911134)
    4) Rollup-D Updates (KB2911106, KB2914218)

    6) Rollup-F (April 2014) Updates (KB2919442, KB2919442-1, KB2919355, KB2932046)

    Bug & Fix :
    *********

    The x86 version Rollup-F (April 2014) Update KB2919442 & KB2919442-1 is wrongly named because the KB2919442 is newer than KB2919442-1. So the Updates KB2919442 & KB2919442-1 has to be integrated in reverse order


    Procedure :
    *********

    1) Mount the Boot, Install & WinRE WIM Image of Windows 8.1 / Server 2012 R2 (RTM/GA)

    2) Integrate Rollup-A GA Updates to WIM Image in these order

    KB2894179 (Applies to Boot.wim [Index:1,2], Install.wim, WinRE.wim)
    KB2883200 (Applies to Install.wim)
    KB2894029 (Applies to Install.wim)

    Note : This Step is not necessary for Windows 8.1 or Server 2012 R2 (GA)

    3) Integrate Rollup-B Updates to Install.wim in these order

    KB2884846 (Applies to Boot.wim [Index:1,2], Install.wim, WinRE.wim)
    KB2898742 (Applies to Install.wim)

    4) Integrate Rollup-C Updates to Install.wim in these order

    KB2903939 (Applies to Boot.wim [Index:1,2], Install.wim, WinRE.wim)
    KB2911134 (Applies to Install.wim)

    5) Integrate Rollup-D Updates to Install.wim in these order

    KB2911106 (Applies to Boot.wim [Index:1,2], Install.wim, WinRE.wim)
    KB2914218 (Applies to Install.wim)

    6) Integrate Rollup-E Updates to Install.wim in these order

    KB2887595-v2 (Applies to Boot.wim [Index:1,2], Install.wim, WinRE.wim)
    KB2898514 (Applies to Install.wim)
    KB2901101 (Applies to Install.wim)
    KB2906956 (Applies to Install.wim)
    KB2908174 (Applies to Boot.wim [Index:1,2], Install.wim, WinRE.wim)

    7) Integrate Rollup-F Updates to Install.wim in these order

    KB2919442 (Applies to Boot.wim [Index:1,2], Install.wim, WinRE.wim)
    KB2919442-1 (Applies to Boot.wim [Index:1,2], Install.wim, WinRE.wim)
    KB2919355 (Applies to Boot.wim [Index:1], Install.wim, WinRE.wim)
    KB2932046 (Applies to Boot.wim [Index:1], Install.wim, WinRE.wim)

    8) Commit & UnMount Boot WIM Image (Both Index 1,2)

    9) Re-Build Boot WIM Image

    8) Commit & UnMount WinRE WIM Image

    9) Re-Build WinRE WIM Image

    10) Commit & UnMount Install WIM Image

    11) Re-Build Install WIM Image

    12) Finish


    If there is any change in the final RTM version of spring 2014 updates, then the above will change too, if anyone interested in a converter for Windows 8.1 / Server 2012 R2 RTM/GA to Spring Update 2014 ISO, let me know, I will release the script that I have finished as it's working perfectly...

    Now, the interesting thing is In the recently leaked Windows 8.1 Core Connected with Bing Edition, when windows update is run it just shows just two Rollup Updates (KB2883200 & KB2887595-v2) to be installed.

    Where when you just integrate the Spring 2014 Update to the Normal Windows 8.1 / Server 2012 R2 RTM GA it shows all the above Rollup Updates.

    One More strange thing is When the Spring 2014 Update is applied on the Windows 8.1 Core Connected with Bing Edition, The first two updates (KB2919442, KB2919442-1) wont get applied while the third update gets & fourth updates (KB2919355, KB2932046) gets applied, but upon boot the fourth update KB2932046 will corrupt the OS and it boots into Automatic OS Recovery Mode.

    Isn't the Windows 8.1 Core Connected with Bing Edition should contain the Spring 2014 Update along with it??

    This is about the same thing as in the case of trying to add update packs to 16596:

    in 17024 DISM reports version 17024, in get packages it does not show the update packs, they are integrated into the system files.
    in 17025, although it reports 17019, but get packages shows all the update packs.

    When you install the updates, it actually only replaced the system files, the problem occurs on reboot, when it tries to configure.

    I am a noob in these things, maybe other guys could explain it better. :D

    You don't need any of the previous Rollup updates, KB2919355 replace them all
    and you don't need older 2919442 (KB2919442-1-x86 or KB2919442-x64), one newer KB2919442 is quite enough
