[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dendron:
I am watching the progress here and it is on the right path, however, until Samsung pushes the driver package update for the Focus, there is no way we can have the ICS enabled.... There is necessary to have newer driver for the wifi which is mandatory for the ICS to work and it is hardware specific from each manufacturer, and after that, ....all will come along. More about this later.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Hum, good point, we may just not be able to do it. Maybe that person's Focus had MS Generic Drivers added to the 7720 ROM the MS employee flashed to it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dendron:
You are getting close: That "person" was someone that had access to the Samsung OEM driver update package and had that installled... not just the RTM Mango... but the good news is, once that driver is found, hacking the ICS will be a breeze, all we will need is a registry dump from a phone that has the Tethering plan paid and activated thru the carrier and enabled on his phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Ok, makes sense.

EDIT: We'll probably also need to Hex edit one of the ICS*.dll's to stop the WiFi "Entitlement" provisioning check it does with your carrier.

BTW found another registry value;

Found it in IcsService.dll.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dendron:
You, my friend, are on the right track... I like the way you think. One other good news is that ATT and Samsung will start pushing the updates very soon. That's all I can say for now. Again... More later.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dendron:
to hexedit the dlls will be a *****, because they are digitally signed against the MS certificates store... It will probably not be needed; don't forget, there are many other providers all over the world, that do not require a tethering plan for ICS to work. That is the key. We will need a dump from a phone on that network, and all is done.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I hope you are right. The signature could be a problem, maybe not. Not all Hex edits break the signature.

PS: Found more registry in ipnat.dll;
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ceesheim:
you where right (I was blind I think) the key is there on your dump.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dendron:
Your effort is much appreciated. The summary is this: All your work will pay off once we get hold of the new drivers, and remember the key: a registry dump from a phone from a network that does not charge extra for tethering. Keep up the good work. You are doing a great job here for everyone. I still miss the ICS thru Bluetooth though from WM6... And the bad news is, no plans for that to ever happen on WP7....
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
;-) (10 - Char)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I don't think we need the registry really. I think I have found enough of the registry to get it working. It's probably the driver package we're missing that's keeping it from showing up. I've found a few keys that could be used for hiding/showing the settings. I highly doubt the registry would be sent from the carrier over provisioning. It should be one of these values in the DLL files.

In theory, I see it working like this example;

This is how all the T-Mobile Myfavs apps worked in WM.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ceesheim:
yes with all the reg kes's we used we sould normally seen the settings tab.

I to think we need to wait till someone will leak the OEM provisioning to be able to activate it :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Yes, HTC's Connection setup will problaly handle any of the server side registry values or it'll be cooked into their official retail update via Provxml or some sort. The DLL just changes the Show UI registry value & it's done.

EDIT: I think we've done all we can at this point till we get retail Mango. Time to restore back to NoDo for me lol.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] andycted:
Move this to dev subforum ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dreamcaster012:
Good work guys. I look forward to seeing more!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
True, this thread did start out as a repeat of an article, hence why I posted it in the general section. But, it turned into a development thread pretty much. Maybe ceesheim can do that when he comes back online.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Is anyone able to post a RGU dump of the Venue Pro with Mango? I found some interesting things on the Samsung dump but I think they were Samsung specific
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ceesheim:
I had already asked it :D

but I can't do it (this isn't my forum)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
No problem, don't really care where it is myself, but he had a point lol.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hdfanatic:
My phone is on RTM developer unlocked, I still can't access reg editor at any type... :'(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hdfanatic:
Any guidance, and I will try as in nodo...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
If you aren't an experienced hacker, do NOT try this. It also will not work in NoDo. It seems we have atm hit a road block till Mango goes retail. You can only edit the registry with Samsung GPRS/HTC Connection Setup & the use of ProvXML in Mango. I believe there is a working Mango registry editor for Samsung users as well, but you need to know the exact path/value as it doesn't have a browse function.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] norgan:
What key and value? I'll do a deploy of it :-D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] OndraSter:
But netcore package refers to SoftAP, check its Policy file :)

(E58CB45D-B3FE-405d-85CF-4D19C2AE80BE.policy.xml in netcore.7.10.7654.1-7.10.7720.68.cab.pku)

// And I also found (a bit OT) that there is STK support (STKApplication.xap)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
How'd you get visual vmail working? Reg key need changed?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] PaulMdx:
What about devices with AppMfg? Perhaps I'm missing your point (apart from not doing it unless you're experienced), but the reg editor (or setter, more like) works fine on my 7720 installed Optimus 7.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Oh okay, thanks for pointing that out. Wasn't sure if LG had a working "registry editor."
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
It just worked for me, I went into call settings & hit the VVS Toggle. It worked in 7692/7712 when I used it. The most recent time using 7720, I kept getting some error. Probably a TMOUSA Network issue as it couldn't connect.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
It maybe linked to SoftAP in some form, but that exe has not ICS code in it. I opened it in PE Explorer & looked at the Hex Code. The ICS Client is handled by those DLL's I list & they were part of Netcore. All the ICS Registry was in Netcore's RGU as well & some found in the Netcore ICS*.dll's if you look at their Hex Code.

It looks like we're lacking drivers though to get it working. The leaked picture, that person supposed had access to Samsung's updated Mango Driver package. So, there's probably some updating needing to be done to the WiFi driver. The NoDo driver just may not support Hotspot Mode. So, as of right now, we've hit a road block till devices start getting the official Mango Update with these drivers.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Nice !!! keep this up !!!!! I hope you guys are successful !!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] abhilaksh:
So, microsoft should be posting in an HTC Mazaa to me some time soon, and since that phone will already have the OEM drivers (it's OS version 7720.500, not 7720.68), I'll test out the provxmls you all have cooked up.

Also, if you know anyone else with a Mazaa or a Fujitsu IS12T, as they're out, you could move the boat forward!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Hmm im on at&t with mango RTM. I dont see a visual voicemail toggle. I do remember screwing with one of the visual voicemail reg keys back on nodo. I don't remember what the key is though. Can anyone find that key? :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prjkthack:
You don't see it because at&t does not have VVM enabled for Windows Phone 7. So no toggle for you. Only T-Mobile customers have it at the moment.

There is a thread dedicated to discussing VVM functionality for Mango. Might want to keep an eye on that thread for more info.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
As the post above said, this isn't the thread that handling that issue, but I will look through the reg dump I have & see if I can find anything for you & post it here. Watch this post as I'll just edit it with what ever I find.

EDIT: Attached is all the VVM reg I could find in my Mango 7720 registry dump CAB.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
thanks I'll take a look at it.=)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Bump...Wana keep this new... so people don't forget...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Call up T-mobile and ask them to activate it. It was free
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mido-mido:
i just have one q....will we be able to use this feature or not???any way...by editing the registry or installing some apps or other ways...

i just want to know will this feature be available or not....

tnx in advance....
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] PsyCLown89:
Would be really cool if we could get USB tethering without much effort too. :-D

Lets wait and see. Quite excited about this. Slowly but surely Phone 7 is starting to become more full and support things which imo every mobile OS should.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cotulla:
About Internet sharing inside Mango:

DFT team tried to activate it and we got some results, but it's not working on HTC :(

I think because WLAN driver isn't compatible. I looked to Samsung WLAN driver and there even special extra firmware with "SoftAP" inside name... maybe it's reason, but I don't know exactly.

Some things:

"CellularConnectionName" must specify a valid connection name.

If it empty inside provxml, it will be replaced by "@WAP" string.

So after provision, you need to replace it by empty string, it will choose the first available connection.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings]
"CellularConnectionName"=""

This feature seems designed to be activate by mobile operator via OTA.

There also checked additional parameter which specify URL which used to check if this feature valid for current data plan. Without this check it doesn't work.

So I patched intshare.dll from 7720 to bypass this check.

But it still not working on HTC devices...

Also there abilities to use other interfaces, like BTPAN.

ConnectionType value seems specify interface type:

1 - RNDIS
2 - BTPAN
3 - ETHERNET (?)
4 - CELLULAR
5 - WLAN

so default config is 4 -> 5.

BTPAN doesn't work too (but it try to activate BT!)

This message has attachment with some files:

hotspot.provxml - it's provision XML, which can be used for HotSpot activation. Note you may need different format to use it (ANSI/UNICODE/etc).

hotspot.reg - this registry file with some changes after provision.

intshare.dll - patched DLL from 7720 build. without "entitled" check.

so it will be nice if somebody will try to activate it on the Samsung (with proper drivers inside I assume)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xshunin:
This is looking good =o I hope it will be available for HTC devices soon. It's the ONLY thing that keeps me from updating my HD2 to mango :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xSiDx:
I have an Omnia 7.

If you walk me through the steps on how to do this, I'm happy to give it a shot.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cyruss89:
Do you know if it might work on a LG WP7? If so I would love to test it for you, I also need a small walk through though...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Updated OP with quote of this post so people can easily find the ZIP in the future.

At those with Samsung/LG device asking for steps on how to do this. I'll repeat, if you're not an experienced hacker/developer/etc. I don't recommend trying any of this till we have everything worked out. I don't want to be responsible for any complication this may cause or even worse, a bricked device. Those of us doing this work are experience & know full well the chances we are taking.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cyruss89:
Alright thanks, but this means that LG could be supported by this method too!?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Once we find the solutions that is confirmed to work, I'm sure it'll work on all devices. The problem is that right now, at least HTC device don't have the capability built into it's WLAN Driver (as per Cotulla). This "should" be fixed in Retail/Official Mango once HTC updates it's OEM specific drivers to support it.

NOTE: It'll require using the edited DLL in Cotulla's ZIP file above as he edited it to remove the "current data plan" check. That check would be used by carriers to turn this feature on/off depending on your plan. For example, T-Mobile USA requires you pay $10 a month more to allow tethering.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cotulla:
right...

anyway without attempts we won't move forward.

so somebody should try on Samsung to be sure ;)

AFAIK some WM65 devices also had tethering, but maybe WP7 need special stuffs from driver. but it can be also possible that something else is missing.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
I have running provxml on my OMNIA 7, so I can easyly run your provided provxml file (I have to convert it to unicode).

What do I have to do with the .reg and .dll file ? Just copy them to the \Windows folder ?

Please give me more information and I could test it on my OMNIA 7...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
1) Copy the patched DLL to \Windows\

2) Reboot

3) Import the ProvXML

4) Make ProvXML out of the .REG & Apply it as well.

5) Reboot(?/If Necessary)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
Ok. I will give it a try when I´m back home again tonight...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] PsyCLown89:
So by this you mean the method used to connect your device to your computer / how the device and computer will talk to each other?

RNDIS is via USB, BTPAN is bluetooth, WLAN is WiFi.

What would Cellular be and Ethernet you are probably as confused as I am?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Hum, so in theory we should be able to do USB tethering by editing the registry. The registry he's talking about is below. Public would always be 4 - Cellular. Of coarse you could possibly (once again, in theory) set that to 5 - WiFi if you have a free Hotspot to connect to & want to use that to 1 - USB (Private) tether it to say, your laptop? Private would be the connection type used for the tether.

Public = The connection to be shared or the "source"

Private =The connection receiving the share, aka the "destination"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\Public]
"ConnectionType"=dword:4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\Private]
"ConnectionType"=dword:5

1 - RNDIS (USB)
2 - BTPAN (BT)
3 - ETHERNET (?)
4 - CELLULAR (Data)
5 - WLAN (WiFi)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cotulla:
I am not sure if RNDIS exists in WP7, there DTPT used for sharing Internet from PC to phone. But I don't know if it based on RNDIS or not.

Cellular is GPRS/EDGE/3G.

Ethernet - dunno. maybe it's DTPT.

there limited types are supported for each, like this DLL doesn't support BTPAN as public interface and etc.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ceesheim:
man I ****ing hate that chevron tool , I wanted to restore the phone to test this but now the chevron tool don't let me unlock it anymore , even the oficial tool don't see my samsung , Kill MS and there FU***** tool.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] PsyCLown89:
Alright. I see now.

Thanks Cotulla and drkfngthdragnlrd!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] slimshady322:
Ethernet is probably when you have your phone connected the PC via USB. The Phone then uses the PCs Internet connection so if I may add to the speculation, you could e.g. use your phone as a wireless router.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
@drkfngthdragnlrd:

I have updated now to Mango RTM 7720 and converted the posted reg file for use on OMNIA 7 (unicode and xml).

Please check the file before I start to test... Thanks in advance.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Looks good to me.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ceesheim:
I wanted to test this to , but I needed to roll back and after doing some real stupid things to my omnia7 I now have a locked bootloader and need to wait till i get a micro USB breakout board (I simply flashed the wrong rom with bricked bootloader)

but I already made all the files ready (attached to this post)

you need to copy the files to the provxml folder (on nodo) then use the fildtest app to copy the .dll and edit the registry.

I made it ready for the use of this app ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238519 )
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
I have also prepared all files and as promised I will test it now. I was the whole day out of my office and besides there are some requests from our all Heathcliff74, which have priority.

I will copy the files under Mango, because my provxml method for OMNIA 7 is allready running on device.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
Here is the result of my test on OMNIA 7:

the shared files enable the internet sharing in settings, but when I try to turn it on it says: "connection not shared" "Internet sharing isn´t currently available".

Maybe there is missing a driver or another registry key...

Check the attached screenshots...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ceesheim:
did you also copied the modded .dll ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nanoware:
this is an important if not THE most important thread to keep an eye on.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
I also copied the patched .dll.

I think somebody else should test it, too.

As we don´t have a working file explorer for OMNIA 7 I can´t proof if the .dll

is copied well.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] herlek:
I've tested it. Have the same results as you on a hd7.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
I have tested again and I still have the same result as I posted before.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Sanien:
Ready to test on Omnia 7

However my TouchExplorer stopped working after I upgraded to Mango RTM. I do have SansungRegistry editor working, but I can't seem to figure out how to type in new values... it isn't like other registry I have seen.

Must have teether!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
I mean it´s a good progress that we could enable it in settings.

To get it fully working maybe it depends only on some more regedits. I don´t know.

Anyway I´m still willing to do more tests so if there are any new ideas please let me know and I will test them...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
You could try;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\Private]

"ConnectionType"=dword:[1 or 3]

& see if you can USB tethering working.

1 - RNDIS
3 - ETHERNET
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AEBobby912:
So for some reason, the last few days the touchscreen on my phone was being super slow, and id have to turn off the screen, then turn it back on multiple times and keep trying to slide it to unlock. I dont know how this started. Ive been using the NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.9.

Ive tried other ROMs and restored previous backups and nothing is working. The screen is still not responsive. Ive never had this happen before and not sure what else to do. Its just stuck on the lock screen but everything is unresponsive....any ideas???:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 10507:
Unfortunately, your touchscreen digitizer is dying. This is related to the hardkey malfunction. The only thing you can so now is flash back to stock WM Tom and send it back for repair. The phone's touchscreen need to be replaced.

Good luck,
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kal19771:
Try to install everything from scratch and how it goes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AEBobby912:
Yeah thats what ive been reading, and right after i started this thread i was reading on another and read that you can fix it if you hold the power button down firmly (apparently the digitzier is right behind it)....that worked for me.

I think too much flashing and changing ROMS using the power button didnt help hehehe:o
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 10507:
Try using zMooth or Button Savior. This help your hardkey a lot. Since I have zMooth and Button Savior install on my phone, I no longer have to use the hardkey.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dbekris:
for how long (holding of power button) ????

{edit}

!!!!! FIND SOLUTION !!!!!

The digitiZer is under the hangup button. press the button bit hard till it nudges the digitiser a little. it worked for me.

(found it from : http://www.htcphones.net/htc-hd2-problems-with-touchscreen/ )

I'm so cool now!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Fadik:
I have been living on this solution for almost 2 months now.

However I can't take it anymore not because I am lazy!

but because when sometimes you need to make a quick call or grab that

camera instantly I tend to waste a good 5 minutes trying to make that hardpress on the end key work with the digitizer cable.

My question is, would changing the digitizer work? or is it something else?

Ever noticed that T-Mobile HD2 has soldered digitizer connection to the LCD vs. flex-cable socket in standard Leo?

SO far everything I have tried will only tell me it is an arm7 ..no other details.

any help will be greatly appreciated

using a number of benchmark tools and es file explorer I pretty much confirmed it to be exynos...and not tegra!
