Hi,

I did not have the reset issue for Market Place

All the rest for working apps are identical

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

It has been said many times that any flash even an SPL is causing hard reset

It is of advantage to flash a latest 7004 and after a latest NoDo SPL

These apply to both branded and unbranded devices

Regards, ansar
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

A typical situation for branded device

All UK, DE and other Europian brands use UK English keyboard and language settings

That is why most of us are want to unbrand mainly

Some also like hTC splash and boot screen instead of operator one

Yes, i use WP7 Root Tools to edit registry keys (thankx Heartcliff74 :p )... But, i don't know this method with editor registry in Omnia 7 ?!

My Omnia 7 is in SE 7392 Unlock Permanent !

What are keys to be modified? ... And when we have to change them?

Can you explain me please ?

EDIT : with the app "Windows Phone ango for ALL Installer v0.2", i can upgrade to 7401 and my phone is always unlocked !! Then, i upgrade to 7661, i lose my unlock and all xap are revoqued by microsoft ! :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
WP7 Root Tools doesn´t work after mango update. ATM it´s only possible to unlock devices with provxml or maybe with built-in registry editor (LG).

=> My HD7 is still unlocked under mango, my OMNIA 7 is locked again...

Hopefully Heathcliff74 will find a solution for Samsung devices, because I prefer the OMNIA 7 over the HD7.....

Hi,

All xap are working after 7401

TouchXplorer, XBMOD.Files.Deployer and some other apps working even after 7661

For Sumsung, if registry changes can be performed after 7661, may be there is a way

Did any one apply proper registry changes before (even this may work) or after 7661 update?

Hi,

I had the OMNIA 7 unlocked til 7401 update but after updating to 7661 you can´t edit the registry. Because of the possibilty to use provxml I bought a HD7 3 month ago. So far nobody could implement provxml feature to Samsung devices.

Another question:

Do you think it´s possible to create new shortcuts for BT and WiFi which are running under mango ? I´m really missing those...

No registry edit in Mango 7661... "WP7 Root tools" is revoqued by Microsoft... sorry
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
I told you before. Anyway all depends on provxml feature because atm it´s the only way to write to the registry. If Heathcliff74 can get running WP7 Root Tools under Mango it does not mean that you will be able to unlock your device. The file explorer is one thing registry access is another one....
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Can you post the details on what this is doing to unlock Mango? Specifically reg entries etc... As a Samsung owner I can't use the HTC stuff to run this so I wanted to see if I could find another way?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] buffalosolja42:
second that it would be really nice to have mango beta after all of the catching up I did this weekend but to lose the unlocking that I had previously lost for two months again isn't worth it to me. But you are on to some good stuff sounds like it.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Here is the contents of provxml:

Ok so further investigation shows that this is doing what the original unlockers did. Same reg entries. I guess Mango is relocked and then checked against MS database to unlock for legit devs
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reeg420:
@buffalo and killer

Omnia7 got unlocked mango apparently. Haven't seen any confirmations but OP says it works. Similar to the way I found with provxml. The thread is in the wp7 general forum.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Hi all,

I got A LOT of requests for a way to unlock Mango on Samsungs. To be honest, that's not really something I'm working on now. But since so many people asked for it I gave it some thought.

WARNING 1: After the upgrade to Mango a lot of homebrew that uses Interop Service, like WP 7 Root Tools, don't work anymore (working on that).

WARNING 2: I haven't tried this myself! It's possible that this doesn't work. And it's possible that you screw up your phone. So be sure to have a backup of your NoDo backup! I don't take any responsibility!

First make sure you are on NoDo, dev unlocked (using methods described in other threads) and you have the Samsung Network Profile app installed.

Use WP7 Root Tools to edit your registry. Note that the value you enter is without the double-quotes.

[Local Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\SRILUIProxy]

AccountSid="SID_UDEVICE_TCB"

[Local Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\apputil]

AccountSid="SID_UDEVICE_TCB"

[Local Machine\System\State\Samsung\Phone\Operator\Base\1]

Filename="unlock.provxml"

Now create a file called "unlock.provxml" with these contents:

<wap-provisioningdoc>

<characteristic type="Registry">

<characteristic type="HKLM\Comm\Security\LVMod">

<parm name="DeveloperUnlockState" value="1" datatype="integer" />

</characteristic>

<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg">

<parm name="PortalUrlProd" value="" datatype="string" />

<parm name="PortalUrlInt" value="" datatype="string" />

<parm name="PortalUrlInt1" value="" datatype="string" />

</characteristic>

<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install">

<parm name="MaxUnsignedApp" value="2147483647" datatype="integer" />

</characteristic>

</characteristic>

</wap-provisioningdoc>

Transfer the file to your phone using one of the methods described in the opening post of theWP7 Root Tools thread. Then copy the file to the \Windows folder.

Now you are prepared for the Mango update. Backup your device and do the update to Mango, as described in other threads.

When the update is ready you have Mango, but your device is locked. Now start the network profile app and select the first option and apply. This should unlock your device now. NO WARRANTIES!!

Hope that works for you!

Thanks Heathcliff74

I will try soon it has been so long since I have had custom ringtones lol, I just spent the better half of 2hrs creating them (sad I know). I will create a backup later this evening after I have it configured to my liking and then I will probably try this (as long as the 4th of July celebration doesn't get started too early). Thanks for your help.

Thanks ansar, I have completely update to mango, and my phone is unlocked.

I'd like to ask you, is it necessery to copy 2 .provxml files, one for each update?

Are these change the appropriate reg keys, like nodo update? If yes, then what's the difference between those 2 files extracted from Update...xap and UnlockMango...xap respectively?

Hi,

When i try to open the connection setup on my htc trophy after copying the CustClear.provxml file and updating to the 7661 version its just wasn't able to lunch and every time i try to start it the screen goes back to the app list,

but it worked on the 7401 version and there was no problem at all and every thing in the update process goes great until i try to launch the connection setup,

also the marketplace gives me an update for it but it wont update because of some error code even though i tried to redo the whole update 3 times with no result.

any help please?

How do I get the individual mango builds to install? Ive updated the Zune client and when I plug in, there's no updates found. I've tried running the UpdateWP.exe, but no luck still.

Nevermind, got it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Lezherus:
Thank you very much, Ansar, got it working.

Just a tip:

Frist time I tried it din't work, phone was unlocked until 7441 and then got relocked when I updated to 7661, so I restored it to 7004 and Re-did the whole process, but before update from 7441 to 7661 again I went to:

C:Windows/System32/Drivers/etc

Opened the file "host" using Notepad and deleted all lines that had "windowsphone" on them. Saved the changes, right click on "host" -> Properties -> Check "Read Only". And them update from 7441 to 7661.

Worked for me, so may help someone with the same problem. Another thing is that just after I updated to 7661 the "Connection Setup" wasn't working, so I uninstalled it and downloaded again from Market Place, now everything is working fine.

I'm using an HTC HD7 - T-Mobile USA Branded - Chevron Unlocked
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MalooMF9:
Hey, Heathcliff, gave your method a try, ended up having to call up AT&T to unlock my phone to make the Network Profile app play nice, only to have it not work, sadly.

So I've been working through the process to get a developer account through dreamspark. Have to wait for ID verification, but heck, no worries about my phone relocking anymore. :P

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reeg420:
Talking about giving credit. I posted how to unlock mango a day before ansar in the wp7 general forum. I appreciate ansars work too but this was not done by him first. Check my thread posted almost a full day before ansar updated his thread here to include unlocking mango...

Give some credit this might have been found by ansar on his own but was not the first one to post about it... Nor the first one to unlock using it...Matter of fact I had pm'd drkfngthdragnlrd early in the day on 7/1 before my assumptions about provxml and mango were even proven as fact.

Ansar does alot of work in these forums and I am in no way taking a shot at him but I feel that my contribution to these forums is not being recognized.

Heres my thread.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
Install the xap you find here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15316160&postcount=9

And make sure you have WP7 Root Tools installed.

and follow these steps:

1. if you are still on build 7392 deploy the attached xap to your device

2. Browse with WP7 Root Tools to Applications\Install

3. Search for a folder which starts with D19A80F2-1717.....

4. Open this folder, copy the file unlock.xml (which is in this folder) with WP7 Root Tools.

5. Navigate to the root folder of your phone, create a new folder here called "provxml" (make sure its in the root, the path field is empty)

6. Install Diagnosis app by dialing ##634#.

7. Open Diagnosis app and dial *#9908# in the Diagnosis app.

8. This will navigate you to a page with a selection dropdown box, make sure there is an option called "unlock" in the list, but DO NOT click on it.

NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOT SELECT ANYTHING HERE, EXIT THE DIAGNOSIS APP WITHOUT CLICKING OR SELECTING ANYTHING.

9. You can now safely upgrade to Mango.

10. Once you have installed Mango, repeat step 7.

11. This time select "unlock" in the list and click SAVE.

12. Exit the Diagnosis app, verify you have an unlocked version of Mango.

13. 3G might not work anymore, so you will need to go to settings --> cellular --> Add APN and fill in the APN data of your carrier. All should be working now.

EDIT: I did not invent this method, credits to the guys who discovered this method in the original thread.

MangoB2 in OMNIA7?

Hi,

I am beta testing an Omnia7 but no luck so far

Suppose that Omnia7 is at this state:

- chevron unlocked

- updated to 7008 and

- Samsung Tools installed

Samsung Tools are working even in my hTC Windows Phone after MangoB2 update

I will continue testing them to see if can be used instead of unlock xap

Then:

- On Laptop

-- close zune

-- run ChevronWP7.Updater.exe

-- run WPST.exe

- On Omnia7

-- in Samsung Tools reset the Prevent Device Relock

-- in setting>Keyboard set the auto correct back to on

- On Laptop

-- run StartZuneLocal.exe

-- run Setup-UpdateWP-x64.exe for 64bit or Setup-UpdateWP-x86.exe for 32bit

-- run MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe and wait to reboot the phone

- On Omnia7

-- in Samsung Tools select the Prevent device from relocking option, apply, reboot

- On Laptop

-- launch zune

-- click on settings

-- click on update and

-- click on UPDATE

Let me know if chevron unlock works reporting also Samsung ROM version

Hi Ansar,

Is there anyway to make the homebrew xaps work after mango update? I have found that in some xaps I can remove the ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES" and then get the xap to run but I can't get touchexplorer or the touchexplorer reg editor to work 100% any ideas? thanks Mark
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] alexdiaz:
Hello Ansar,

I've flashed the 1.30 HTC Europe to get the 1.30 bootloader which has improved camera.

My device is TMOB DE branded so I can normally only flash 1.32 bootloader from TMOB which doesn't have the improvements.

I'm on Mango now but of course locked because of the 1.30 HTC Europe flashed and unable to unlock because of being a new version.

The question is, can I modify the RUU_signed.nbh to put in it the 1.30 bootloader and new radio and the old OS (from 1.28 )?

I've tried NBHTools and other nbh tools but it can't really make it.

And then unlock, update to Nodo and then to Mango.

Thanks.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
oddly enough wifi shortcut still works after the upgrade...

I wonder why, since this one also uses native code right?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
There are different shortcuts:

1. Quicksettings from schaps (native code => don´t work after mango update)

2. Shortcuts from codejoker.com (Samsung specific, no native code => still working on Samsung devices)

All still working shortcuts for OMNIA 7 are attached.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pasan:
I too lost my unlock after upgrading to 7661. Everything was fine in 7401. I followed Ansar's tute to the letter. I guess something got b0rked along the way?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwill:
So, is it correct in the fact that if we upgrade without backing up, there is possibility we won't get the official update when it drops? I had some problems with trying to use my backup (couldnt even get it running). Thought I read it somewhere (after I updated), but can't remember where.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Wind Dancer:
So how do you download from Rapidshare without buying the program?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] munkeyphyst:
you will have to restore your phone to a pre-mango state in order to upgrade to actual mango and any other updates before or after.

The beta mango will not upgrade or update beyond beta. If you don't have a backup, you'll need to flash a non-beta ROM.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwill:
Dang, that means all apps and stuff are gone correct? Guess I'll worry about it when the time comes.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
How is it possible, that this applications still work? I've looked into your Wifi Shortcut xap and found in the WMAppManifest.xml again ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES. I thought this capability was deactivated in Mango?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
Those xaps I have requested a long time ago at codejoker.com. They were created specially for the OMNIA 7 using Samsung specific code.

As I´m not the creater I can´t answer your question 100%, but what I know is that the xaps don´t contain native code which is not working under mango.

Maybe Heathcliff74 can answer this question.

Anyway enjoy using those shortcuts on your OMNIA 7...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
I digged a little bit deeper. That Wifi shortcut app uses a Samsung DLL (NwProfDLL.dll) for the Network Profile Manager, so it must use the Interop capability. Or at least this dll is somehow code signed and is allowed to run, even under mango. I would really like to know how this works :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
I appreciate the files Contable.

The icons clash with my theme though as they appear to be the "Glass" type I used to use in winmo 6.5. I found that by changing it to a ZIP file and then replacing the two image files in it with the ones from the other shortcut app I used I was able to get more "default" images that didnt clash with my theme.

Further I editted the 3rd (I think) XML file and was able to change the shortcut name from "Change Wifi settings" (or the BT one) to whatever I wanted it to say on my phone by changing the "TITLE" string.
