[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xboxmod:
Post will be rewrited soon.

FTP link dead so browse

The principe:

With XBmod Rom or rom containing certificate you can send cutom cab packages to device.

The packages modify the rom itself so they stay in place even after a reset and can update any part of the rom (SLDR,NK,LOGO...) and update the build without reflashing the Device.

we believe that this process is the simplest way:

-for users to customize the rom as they likes & avoid constant reflash for update.

-for developer to try differents tweaks

-for cookers to send their own corrective packages,without need to recook and reflash!

-for any developpers and designers to make custom packages for WP7 community.

You have autorisation to use our cert in your rom....

More info at the end of the post.

XBmod rom will be released soon for WP7 HTC device with HSPL:

-Spark (Released)

-Schubert(Released)

-Mozart

-Gold (Released)

WP7 Update Cab Sender:

Copy cab/s in "WP7 Update Cab Sender" folder then run the bat.

Use B option to made a full backup of the device

INFO:

If you have installed a package and don't want it anymore use the _REMOVE package for it

And for some like extra shortcuts you have to reset to have them completely disappear

That's because they are removed from rom but stay installed

If you want to change a package for another of the same type use the _REMOVE package for it before

That's because you can't put twice the same package to device

If you have any error with the WP7 Update Cab Sender

You can use L to retrieve the logs from device

Decompress the Devicelog.cab file you'll find in your logs folder

The important file to check is UpdateValidator.log

At the end of this file you'll find details of the error and which package is in cause.

Special thanks to YukiXDA for all work he as done & Da_G.
