Is there away to get the hack built in in to a rom like in the hd2 roms...?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GB1337:
When I got my HTC Mozart, I unlocked it with chevron. The firmware version was 7004 on a t-mobile branded rom.

After that I connected my phone to zune with flight mode on (easiest way to prevent relock) and updated it to 7008, and after that that to 7392.

Everything is working fine, I can deploy whatever I want to my phone, also with chevron I can only "relock", like ansar said.

UNLOCKING

I have been all over these threads trying to get the best and most out os my phone. I have finally got it unlocked. Not if someone can help explain how to keep it unlocked without having to use flight mode? My last attempt lasted the first update but the second update caused it to lock so had to downgrade back to 7004 and start over.

If it has to be done through the registry can someone please explaine the process I downloaded the latest registry editor found on TouchEperience : http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593

Thanks in advance for all help very appreciated.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Unipac:
So what exactly did you do ansar? Just updating your phone via Zune to "NoDo" and it still was "chevroned"? Which phone did you use?

Maybe you can give us more details. I would also like to update my phone but i dont want to loose the advanced config app :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] munkeyphyst:
There are several threads that discuss and detail the prevent relock reg edit...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Z's Windows Phone:
Yes There Are...

Yes there are but with having an idea of what the end result of doing something wrong noobs like myself (to WP7) need a little spoon feeding when it comes to Registry changing.

I apologize if I am asking for a lot but I have always been one that if I understand something better than someone else I have no problem with breaking it down simpler. And maybe with understanding how to do this will also help me to understand how to do background changing which also only done through the register editor.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] derausgewanderte:
The details for keeping your phone unlocked are in my sig. Follow instructions from "How To Keep Your Phone Unlocked" part 1 and 2. Once you have set these reg keys the phone will not relock with updates.

Hi,

I did test on 2 devices with branded ROMs and needed some different settings

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Z's Windows Phone:
Thank you and I appreciate you response and help I just have 1 question before I attempt this. My question is will this work on the HTC HD7 which is what I have?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Yes, in HD7 it was most easy and you can try this simple steps:

- Flash a 7004 branded ROM

- Setup e-mail account and send ChevronWP7.cer

- Install ChevronWP7.cer

- Install Application Deployment and optional Visual Studio 2010 express

- Run zune, sync and let pass all steps but not upgrade yet

- Run ChevronWP7.exe and unlock

- Relock and unlock as a test and stay unlock

- Deploy AdvanchedConfig 1.2.0.0 beta, to keep unlock

- Now let zune upgrade

- At the end you will have an 7008

- Run ChevronWP7.exe and check if it is unlock

- If not let me know

- If yes, let zune to upgrade 7392

- At the end you will have a working 7008 backup to return in case of emegency

- Run ChevronWP7.exe and check if it is unlock

Regards, ansar
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Unipac:
Nice work ansar. Will this also apply to my HTC Mozart 7, T-Mobile DE, currently chevroned, prevented from re-lock and on 7004? I want to update to Nodo :-)

Two Computers

Hi Ansar,

Thanks a whole lot I will do this now I do have one question. After this is done can you connect to another computer I recently got a new laptop (running windows 7) and it is what I have been doing these things with my phone now before I got the laptop I was using my computer (which run XP) last night I connected it to my computer to download my audio and pictures this morning it was back lock and I had it on airplane mode. Will I be limit to only connecting to my laptop or will the permnant unlock continue to keep it unlocked?

Does anyone have a direct link to the AdvanchedConfig 1.2.0.0 beta when I searched here all 3 results bring me back here and when I google it it takes me to TouchXperience site and the I only see versions 3.0; 3.1; 3.2; and 3.3.

Question in continuing to find Advanced Config I came across this:

How to sideload more than 10 apps ?

Unlock your device with a modded ChevronWP7 version: ChevronWP7_NoSideloadLimit.zip ( 83.27K ) Number of downloads: 26

Credits to xda user hounsell on http://www.red-gsm.net/t48485/

Is this better that the one I've been using?

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

You cannot use XP, at least Vista to any PC/Laptop

DL it from here: AdvancedConfig_1.2.0.0_beta.xap

This has more than you need to keep unlock, maximum apps etc

Visual Studio 2010 express

Thanks been waiting for your reply before I did anything. downloading now and will follow your instructions. will let you know how things turn out.

Muchly appreciated.

I just noticed you added Visual Studio 2010 express is it included in something i've downloaded already im searching for it but if you have a link i'll take it. :D

It's been over 2 hours and I don't see it in any thread.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Visual Studio is Optional for Developing WP7 apps

At least you should dl WPSupportTool-x86.msi [32bit] or WPSupportTool-amd64.msi [64bit]

All can be dl from http://download.microsoft.com

Regards, ansar
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Z's Windows Phone:
Are these apps/programs for the phone itself or for the computer? I put WPSupportTool-amd64.msi [64bit] in the search and got: Results for:"WPSupportTool-amd64.msi"

Sorry, no results were found. It may help to:

Okay I realized I wasn't searching Microsoft when I did choose it I still got the same results then google open up leading me to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021920 where the Windows Phone Support Tools can be downloaded. Now to find the Visual Studio. Which I am still a little confused because I thought your instructions these were things to install on the phone and if that is the case then what I'm doing is wrong and therefore I can't find the right things :(.

Okay I found it but again I am still confused becase you said: "Install Application Deployment and optional Visual Studio 2010 express" but what I have to my knowledge is not a XAP app.

Still can't download here

Ok, so I downgraded to 7004 got the phone unlocked with Chevron and add XBMod to keep it unlocked. But, now I can't get NoDo to finish installing through Zune. It gets as far as loading the update and reboots phone and never gets past the HTC logo. I have tried several times, I don't know what to do anymore, very sad. Would like to try Mango, but can't download these files either. But if I can't get NoDo done I guess it doesn't matter anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
I'm writing my master thesis on WP7 Security, so I'm currently digging really deep into all kind of WP7 stuff (and it makes fun :D)

But I did not ever try to unlock my test HTC HD7 for mango with the methods floating around on this forum. Thats fortunatelly unnecessary due to my Dreamspark developer account ;)

So if you got any additional insights through your rom cooking, I would be glad to hear from you. Especially this provisioning file stuff seems interesting to know how it works...

Please write any working manual.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Did you even read the first post?? You can't unlock mango directly. You have to have a chevron unlocked nodo or earlier and follow the guide in post #1 to carry it forward!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] AvengerII:
Everything done yesterday in the evening.

Guide simply perfect; thanks for your GREAT job m8.

Just for the other people:

during the backup of my NoDo unlocked starting ROM, Windows Phone 7 BackupV1.4 ended the process with an error popup (from Italian "Can not install the update of the phone. No packages applicable.").

But I made a restore and all worked perfect; so I proceeded with the updates ;)

Bye, Marco.

Hi

This instruction is a little twisted, but the solution works. Thanks ansar.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
thank you for your wishes :)

After looking up more information on provxml, I guess you guys use the OEMs apps dlls to read your own provxml files to change settings on the phone, am I right? The provxml files seems to originate from Windows Mobile/Pocket PC times. I thought MS just used Windows Embedded Compact Edition 7 as their base and there is no Windows Mobile envolved?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

MS implemented Windows CE 7 [Windows Embedded Compact 7] and goes on to 7.5 and 8

hTC implemented Connection Setup xap to fire up CustClear.provxml

This provxml must be in windows folder and run Connection Setup to load it

It is not yet possible to save CustClear.provxml in windows folder without chevron unlock

Samsung implemented Diagnosis xap to fire up GPRS *.xml

This *.xml must be in windows\provxml folder and run Diagnosis app to load it

Again it is not yet possible to save *.xml in windows\provxml folder without chevron unlock

We all use these methods, after chevron unlock, to change registry, update in MangoB2 etc

I also updated an Omnia 7 from its original OS to preNoDo 7008, 7392 NoDo, PreMangoB2 7411 and MangoB2 7661 OS

I hope to upload the Guide to include Omnia 7 soon

I assume like with the other guides this will not work without diagnosis version .1x or above? Since .09x is not able to see the files in provxml.

I know I followed the instructions here, twice and still don't have an unlocked phone.

So I tried again this morning, and everything went fine, until I got to run Connection Setup. Yesterday I downloaded the one from the Marketplace, the newest I think, but it would not run after 7661 update.

So until I can figure out the problem with that, I am stuck with a locked phone.

Waiting patiently for The Chevron Team to get an unlocker ready.

Oke I have some weird issues with my omnia 7. I flashed it to the 7661 build before but I forgot to unlock it. After I used this way to unlock it, I flashed it back to 7661. The weird part is that I don't see my application list like the people list (a letter before every application).

Does more people having this problem??

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
HI Ansar,

I've tried to get TouchXplorer running on WP7 Mango developer unlocked. And it really works :)

here is what I've done:

Now I am still looking for XAP files with ID_CAP_INTEROP to test, any suggestions? Is there any way you could tell us the content of ringtones.xml? I mean the real settings you are going to load into the phone through provxml files? I'm still not understanding why your two xaps uses the chevronwp7 ringtone app? Is it just to add a file to the phone and to rename it, so that the HTC Connection setup understands it and reads its content out?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Wind Dancer:
Just noticed something interesting. If I provision my unlocked phone for update and don't start Zune, then Advanced Config and Reg Edit both work. Once I start Zune once and try to run either program, with Zune running or not, USB attached or not, neither program will run. However, WPDM works perfectly.

Is this just my phone or does everyone get this?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jarrhed:
TouchXPerience doesn't load any directories for me. It simply doesn't show anything in that part of the screen, but it does show the "My Device" TextBlock on the top.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
You could try it again, this time without Zune. In Mango Beta 2 is a tool called WPConnect.exe. You have to use this if you are debugging apps that use the cameratask, because Zune locks out the Media library. Guess its worth a try for you. Perhabs it is then running?

Interestingly WPDM is not working on my Win7 64bit VM. It is installed but nothing happens upon start.
