Koush created/coded clockworkmod recovery. Hashcode used Koush's code base to create his version.

Koush offers his free on his site but charges in the market.

Without Koush's code base, there wouldn't be the other version(s). Koush has what would be considered the "official" version and is supported with Rom Manager (also created by Koush).

Sent from my Viewsonic 10" GTab...GTabComb
[Motorola Droid 3] erismaster:
The official one that koush released is for the most part hascodes work. Hash used the standard/cm7 method so we could get roms quicker, instead of finishing out what he wanted to do because it wasn't gonna be done for a while. If you wanna use roms, then you need to use koush's recovery because the roms will be packaged to use that implimentation of 2nd init. In the future we may see a safer variant from hashcode.
[Motorola Droid 3] Wolfhere:
At this point, I am not sure I 'want' to use ROMS because I have never actually seen any in action and what the differences would be. But, like linux there are several flavors and I can understand that.

So from what I am reading, if all I want is to go into CW Recovery and recover a nandroid backup that I have done, Hashcode's bootstrap would be fine.

If I want the potential of using ROMS then I should use Koush's bootstrap Recovery.

Right?

Would the install of Koush's bootstrap still give me the ability to use a nandroid backup? Is there still BP Tools? and lastly, what are the install instructions for Koush's version install and use (same as Hashcodes?)?

Yes, I am a noob to rooting as evidenced for my need to use psouza4's script for flashing. I am however; an experienced network engineer/administrator and all around computer tech/junkie. So everything I do with my phone is new, but the concepts remain the same. I can follow completed instruction. Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid 3] erismaster:
If you use koush's there is the bootstrapper app that instal its (bootstrap recovey) and the you use the app to reboot into recovery. It does roms and backups. Hashcodes uses the bp tools method
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
EDIT: Somehow it started working again. I have no clue as to how or why.

So I installed CWM & the Bootstrap and everything was working fine, made a backup, then flashed the Deodexed release on RootzWiki.

Then the problems started happening. Everything I tried to open Rom Manager it would FC, and I was unable to boot into recovery via the Bootstrap (took me to the dual core screen and froze)

I was force to reinstall Hashcodes Recovery and restore my backup from then. The ramifications appear to be I can still no longer boot into CWM and use the bootstrap.

I am hoping to avoid SBF-ing. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Motorola Droid 3] g3m1n1:
Just a little concerned that Koush's D3 Bootstrap is not listed on his site. I know it's in the market, and I can grab it directly from the OP, but I thought Koush would have added it to his blog by now. I know he's a busy guy, perhaps he just got it to the market first before blogging it.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
Clockworkmod tweeted it (Koush's other twitter account).

http://t.co/IM110WZ3
[Motorola Droid 3] g3m1n1:
Thanks, can someone repost Koush's original download link?
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
I did........
[Motorola Droid 3] g3m1n1:
Sorry, I was looking for the actual, original link. Not a TinyUrl version... :P
[Motorola Droid 3] btonetbone:
Here is the direct link from his website:

http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-solana.zip

I would recommend visiting his website clockworkmod.com whenever you need to download it. At some point, the hard link I gave will be out of date, and his site should be more accurate.
[Motorola Droid 3] g3m1n1:
@btonetbone

Thanks! That's exactly the reason I thought the original link should have been posted. :D However, I thought the file you linked was the Droid3Bootstrap.apk but it looks more like something we would install via recovery using update.zip.

I bought the D3 Recovery Bootstrap from the Market anyway, because Koush deserves the donation. Installed and made a backup. Looking forward to (patiently of course) all the custom ROM goodness on the horizon.

Edit: Direct download link for the APK. Please note the "test" in the location, this file may be moved.

http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/Droid3Bootstrap.apk
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
Gotcha....the link I posted was the link Koush posted..... I misunderstood.
[Motorola Droid 3] erismaster:
Updated to newest version in op. removed old version.
[Motorola Droid 3] gravenimage:
This replaces koush's bootstrapper, right?

sent from my MONSTERDroid3 from the XDA app
[Motorola Droid 3] erismaster:
it is koush's bootstrap, just hashcode added the bptools entry method to it, but yeah it would replace the original version.
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
Be sure to uninstall the old version before though.
[Motorola Droid 3] gravenimage:
Yeah, I uninstalled the old one.

sent from my MONSTERDroid3 from the XDA app
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
Ummmm.. How did i end up in a bootloop after flashing a theme, and couldnt get into the tweaked recovery from bptools?
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
You didn't hit bootstrap recovery in the program after install?
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
I did. it worked severasl times through bptools. jusy when i flashed something wrong, i couldnt get into recovery again.
[Motorola Droid 3] Wolfhere:
Perhaps you need to do boot strap recovery before imaging (flashing). Do you have a task killer that perhaps killed the app before running? And lastly, did you use the latest cwm (tweaked) from hashcode? It says 'tweaked' on the bootstrap app. Having failed all that, you are faced with sbf-ing.
[Motorola Droid 3] Wolfhere:
"then run the bootstrap then you're good to go" which means you have to do the first button on the bootstrap {Bootstrap Recovery} for the process to work. And if you have an app killer that kills the Bootstrap, you have to Bootstrap Recovery again.
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
i did all of that. Idk whyit didnt work again. and yeah, ive already sbf'd. Now going to start over with everything. I have a titanium backup so im good.

I can't deploy it to my non-hacked developer unlocked focus running mango rtm. I get the following error when using the newest windows phone 7.1 sdk rc application deployment tool: Error - 0x81030120

EDIT: If I remove the line "<Capability Name="ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES"/>" from WMAppManifest.xml I can deploy it... but it crashes after the warning screen. Looks like Mango shipped devices might be out of the picture. There is something different about a normally developer unlocked phone and a pre-mango hacked to unlock one. Something that is changed durring the process listed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1152422 makes the "Error - 0x81030120" go away.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LiFePo4:
Is it possible you need the fullunlock and not just devunlock for this to install? I have an HTC so can't confirm.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
That's what it looks like. Not a problem for me right now, and still a *huge* leap forward (homebrew native code on Mango!! That means everything from screen capture to the DFRouter app to things like SMS access!). It's going to suck if it's not worked around by the time I get my next device and it comes with Mango, though.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] N!njaDuck:
Maybe a dumb question, but what is the difference?

I was able to deploy after removing the interop reference, but the app just closes when I run it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
People are calling the "Full unlock" the step above the Dev unlock. It's when the reg keys are done to open up unlimited unsigned apps. If you are "fully unlocked" even with mango, you should be able to install this app with out having to remove the "interop" tags.

I am unable to deploy anything with Interopservices on my Focus. I am running Beta 2 with official dev unlock.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
official dev unlock in unfortunately not sufficient, you will have to set the maxunsigned app flag to the maximum value. This is the only way you can deploy apps with native code besides trough the marketplace.

This means up until now new mango pre installed devices are not supported, but Im sure somebody is looking for a way to bypass this limitation.

So make sure you use a provxml method to upgrade to mango.

Heatcliff, thanks again for you work :)

Ow and @heatcliff: transfering files is a lot easier on mango, since you just have to copy them to the iso storage of root tools and than run WP Power Tools to download them. Maybe you can make a folder in root tools iso storage and a menu option to copy to iso storage for easy transfer to the pc. No need for a file server or anything.

Phenominal work Heathcliff74! Now I can browse the FS and have some closure for the ringtone deployment..

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
Here some feedback:

1. speed is very good => browsing the windows folder is much faster than with touchxplorer on my HD7

2. after renaming or deleting a file there is no refresh of the folder

3. multiple file operations are still missing (you pointed that out on post #1)

=> e.g. would make life much easier if you want to copy files to the windows folder

4. a search function like touchxplorer has would be great

=> e.g. *.xap will list all xap files in a folder

Samsung 2nd Generation Test Tool

This is a Test Tool for 2nd generation Samsung WP7 devices like Focus S, Focus Flash, Omnia W, etc.

You need to be Interop Unlocked to be able to run this test tool!

If you have a device that complies with the requirements above, please run this test tool (in the attachment) and post the test-results here (in detail!) Also add the following information:

- Exact device model

- OS + Firmware versions from Settings / About / More Info

- Install the diagnostic tool by dialing ##634# and then, in the diagnostic tool, dial *#1234#. Provide the version of the diagnostic tool (in top of the screen) and the version info presented in the screen.

This test should be completely harmless. It does not change anything to your device. But installing Interop Unlock may potentially cause problems, so if you perform Interop Unlock, read the instructions in that guide carefully and make a backup in advance (instructions also in the Interop Unlock thread).

This test tool probably/hopefully provides me info which I need in order to create support for 2nd generation Samsung devices for WP7 Root Tools. It is possible that not all tests in this tool pass. In that case I may have to do some more hacking-attempts and release more versions of this test-tool.

Thanks for helping,

Too bad though :( This is not enough for me to build support in WP7 Root Tools. I have to do more digging into this and try to make another test.

Heathcliff74, I've been meaning to bring this up to you for some time - If I attempt to use your WP7 Root Tools 0.8 for Mango on my Samsung Focus v1.3 with the "light" theme selected ("Settings", then "Theme, "Background" set to "Light"), it's unusable! WP7 Root Tools shows NO text, probably because the text is white & is invisible with the white background (you can see the folder icons, but no text).

Anyway to fix this? I love that app!

Thanks,

Dennis
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Weird. Support for light theme was fixed a long time ago. Maybe mango does thing different. I will look into it.

Update on support for 2nd generation Samsung devices

Hi,

I have investigated the systems on the 2nd generation Samsungs. I've been able to install some of the binaries on my Omnia 7 for testing :D

Test-results:

The 2 main exploits I use on 1st generation Samsungs are not working on 2nd generation Samsungs. 1 of the exploits is just missing some essential binaries. The other exploit is not working because the new Samsung drivers have a bug! :eek: So it is not possible to do a quick fix to support the new Samsung devices.

But now some good news:

I have found a new exploit that I can use. But it requires a lot of refactoring in WP7 Root Tools to use it. For the past months I've been working on a complete rewrite of WP7 Root Tools to allow a lot of new hacks and support for more devices. I will use the exploit for 2nd generation Samsungs in that version. Progress on development is a bit slow. So I have no ETA on a release date. But I'll work hard on it and somewhere in the future (hopefully a bit soon) I will release a version of WP7 Root Tools that also supports the 2nd generation Samsungs :)

Ciao,

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Rcf686:

Hi all you people with root access...

Could someone please let me know all the values under the following registry key, please?

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Connectivity\CellularCPL

I installed 8701 but don't have the speed setting option. I suspect this may be down to the "Enable3GToggle" value being set as 1 at the time of install.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give - I can't see the values in this key as I don't have root access (Optimus 7). Cheers!

Noob question

Sorry for the noob question: how do I can install this app into a Samsung Omnia W?

I unlocked it using this method.

Using the smartphone I'm unable to download the xap file ("Windows Phone doesn't support this kind of file").

So I've downloaded it whit my PC; I connect the sphone as USB storage using this little application but I only see del Pictures folder.

I put the file there but how can I reach it from within the sphone?

It hasn't a file manager...

SO, at last, how can I install it, damn?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff769512(v=vs.92).aspx
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] cinciopillo:

But when I run it says

"Incompatible

The current version of this tool can only be used on Samsung devices..:"

I own a Samsung Omnia W :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
I answered your question "how can I install it". It's another question. Could you be more specific?

Probably (can't tell you the truth because app is obfuscated) tool checked a phone model number, not a manufacturer name. So you may ask Heathcliff74 to change this behavior.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
People, please search the thread...

@cinciopillo: Did you consider doing a search (on the forum or the Web in general) for "WP7 install xap" or similar?

Additionally, it has been reported multiple times already, in this thread (which has a search tool like every other), that the second-gen Samsung devices aren't currently supported. Samsung changed their drivers between the first and second generation of phones. This app is dependent on the drivers in the first-generation phones.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gianvito:
don't work with omnia w / focus flash
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Teaser!!

New version of WP7 Root Tools is nearing completion.

It **SHOULD** support these devices if they are Interop Unlocked:

- Samsung 1st generation

- Samsung 2nd generation

- LG

- HTC 1st generation with Mango v1 drivers

- HTC 1st generation with custom unlocked roms

Working hard on support for other devices too, but there's no way of telling which and when that will happen!

Otherwise, it's great! Thank you, sir!

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wpxbox:
So will other apps will be able to turn on the policies with user permission and then using the API ( if any ) of the app ?

This stuff is like super user app for Android.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Yep. I will release a mini-SDK to get root access to the filesystem and registry. Basically the SDK is a managed wrapper to the native API. No hacks involved there. When the app that uses the SDK is deployed, you can use WP7 Root Tools to give it privileged / root access. But you can use your own native code too, if you like (use this guide). All native API's can be used unrestricted. Normally you would get error 0x800704ec. With trusted access from WP7 Root Tools they will just work.

Ciao,

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wpxbox:
This is awesome stuff. So in this case, Are you forcing what permissions will be accessed to user when any app tries to access via WP7 Root Tools API.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Yes. I can change the access-policies to anything I like. But to keep it simple I just let users make an app "Trusted" which will effectively give root access to that app.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wpxbox:
I mssed up my question there sorry. What I was trying to ask was

"When an App Asks for Permission to be granted by the user ( Via your app ), Are the apps who ask for permission being forced to describe what they will access to the users ?"

Something like Location access warning being given by the WP Marketplace before some of the apps are installed.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
An app that uses my sdk still can't do anything. Only if the user marks the app as "trusted" in WP7 Root Tools, the app will actually be given root access. I did this, so that the user of the device has control over the permissions (just like an interactive firewall), so that malware doesn't get a chance to abuse those permissions.

I may add functionality to the SDK, to launch WP7 Root Tools with a request for higher privileges. And the user should then allow that explicitly. But then the app would still need to be restarted to get the actual permissions. So will not be exactly like an UAC prompt, which gives permissions and then continue the app.

The user always needs to give permission for an app.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Nice work! Looking forward to the release.

I'm especially impressed to see Samsung v2 support on there, as nobody has otherwise managed to use its TCB drivers for anything (AFAIK).

When you mark an app as "Trusted", I assume that means you just alter its policy to route to TCB instead of to its custom LPC account?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lucasryan:
Very interesting indeed!! Excellent work friend, you have made a exceptional find and cant wait to see this. With this allowing for the higher privileges and the root access from a desired app, witch will allow all native API's to be used unrestricted?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
